Chapter 10 Bullying the weak and fearing the hard
The old lady finally softened, "Yuechan, what we mean is, I'm too old to do it, you three brothers should discuss how to provide for me, you also occupy a room, you can't help but give money." ”
Fei Lingyi sneered, "10 yuan a month for a family, three people are 30, what do you do to ask for 30 yuan a month for living expenses, almost catching up with a worker's salary for more than half a month, your appetite is really big." Let me ask you, do the second uncle and the third uncle also give 10 yuan a month? ”
The second uncle and the third uncle nodded again and again: "Yes, it's okay, we will give 10 yuan for each family." ”
"Don't fool me, your family can't spend 10 yuan a month, will you give 10 yuan to grandma? Grandma we can raise. Don't say that grandma is now strong enough to kill a cow, but she has no ability to live, 10 yuan can live comfortably in the city for a month, the three families are divided equally, a family of 3 yuan and 3 cents, my family is a little more, give 3 yuan and 5 cents, you have to agree, come at the end of the month to get it, if you don't agree, it's a big deal that everyone will fight together. ”
As he spoke, he slashed the kitchen knife forward, causing them to shrink in fright.
The old lady said, "Agree, agree!" "I want to slip away.
Fei Lingyi shouted: "Stop! I'm not done yet. ”
Several people stood up in an orderly manner, and the grandmother said tremblingly: "You say, you say, we all listen." ”
"Listen, this courtyard is our family's, and you are usually not allowed to come here, and I will cut whoever comes. On the last day of every month, grandma can come to this hospital to get 3 yuan and 5 living expenses, and leave immediately after taking the money. ”
"Listen, hear clearly......" Before the words fell, these people had already run away.
With a "bang", the kitchen knife in Fei Lingyi's hand fell in response, and his heart was haggard, and he was supported by one breath just now, and then he collapsed to the ground.
Cui Yuechan threw away the wooden stick and stepped forward to help her up, "Lingyi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Fei Lingyi's face was pale, covered with sweat, and the person had collapsed, "They, let's go......"
"Let's go." Cui Yuechan burst into tears, "Mom, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and I shocked them all." ”
Fei Lingyi smiled miserably, "There is really no other way than to work hard." ”
Cui Yuechan said hatefully, "I didn't care about being scared at that time, to be honest, if they really dare to hurt you, I will definitely fight with them." ”
Fei Lingyi had never cared about herself from the bottom of her heart in her previous life, and she was moved in her heart, "Mom, I will never let them hurt you." ”
She tried to stand up, but found that her legs were trembling, and she didn't listen to the command at all, so she simply relaxed and fell to the ground. found that Cui Yuechan's whole body was also trembling, and she couldn't help laughing.
The mother and daughter stood up with each other, patted the soil on their bodies, and shook a basin of water from the well to wash their hands and faces.
"They won't be coming anytime soon, Mom, I bought a light bulb to see where the lamp head is, it's not okay to keep lighting candles at night."
The lamp head was found, the light was hung up, the switch wire was broken, and a rope was found to connect it. The lights were on, which made the mother and daughter very relieved.
The two changed their clothes again before they began to knit sweaters, which will be sold at the market tomorrow, time is precious, and there is no time to be sad.
The mother and daughter started boiling potatoes early the next morning, and with yesterday's experience, this time it was much easier. The two of them ate half of it beautifully, carefully put the rest in their pockets, and then changed their clothes and prepared for the market.
Fei Lingyi actually pays attention to her appearance, she put on the original owner's slightly wide floral shirt, and she was very emotional, she used to want to lose weight, it was really more difficult than climbing to the sky, and now this kind of figure, but no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it! It's just that now, it doesn't matter what the figure is at all, the important thing is that these knitted shoes and socks can be sold smoothly and exchanged for money at the market today. Otherwise, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the family will be cut off.
Cui Yuechan has never sold anything, she is very thin-skinned, and she and Fei Lingyi found a waste newspaper to sit on her buttocks, waiting for someone to buy it.
After a while, she was anxious, "Lingyi, why hasn't anyone come yet, can't you sell it?" ”
After a while, she nagged again, "It's very close to the fertilizer factory, what if an acquaintance sees it?" ”
Fei Lingyi was angry: "You have to be afraid to stay at home when you see acquaintances." "In her company, if someone was such a mother-in-law in front of her, she would have been fired.
However, when she saw Cui Yuechan's tears in her eyes, her heart softened again. This woman is none other than the mother of this body, and for her sake, a woman so thin and sven would be desperate to fight with others. In her father's absence, she is the only relative of the original owner, and she has also given her long-lost maternal love, how can she scold her like a subordinate?
"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. You can't rush to do business, you have to take your time. It's still early, and the people who are rushing to the market haven't come yet. We don't steal or rob, we live by our own labor, and we don't lose it. ”
Cui Yuechan put away her tears, "Lingyi, Mom knows, Mom knows, don't worry, ah!" Mom is just a little bourgeoisie, she has never done business before, and she doesn't know this. You're still a child, and your mother should be worried about that. ”
Someone was already asking, "These are the shoes that children wear, right?" How old do children wear? ”
"Auntie, you really have eyesight, a child of seven or eight months ago, you can't wear this if you want to walk on the ground. These shoes are warm and soft, so they are perfect for a child in your arms. ”
"It's so good, it's just that my little grandson is fat, and his feet are big and fat, you can't wear it!"
"Auntie, it's okay, look at it, how much smaller, I'll knit it for you right away, soon."
"That's great, you weave first, I'll go buy some food, and I'll come and get it later."
"Okay, aunt, look at which style you like, well, this one, this one is especially suitable for chubby children, and your grandson must look good when he wears it."
The fat aunt left, and Fei Lingyi quickly took out a crochet needle and began to knit shoes. Cui Yuechan was a little worried, "The fat aunt didn't pay a penny, she said that going to buy vegetables shouldn't be a pretext, what if she doesn't come after weaving?" ”
"Don't worry, she'll come." Fei Lingyi spoke, but her hands didn't stop, "She can't buy suitable shoes anywhere else, even if she doesn't, she will come to take a look." ”
Cui Yuechan didn't speak, but also took out the rod needle she had prepared earlier and began to weave it.
A young couple came over, and the wife with a big belly said, "Wow, look, these look like little shoes and socks worn by babies, they are so beautiful!" ”
"Needless to say, this is the latest style of baby shoes and socks in Shanghai, my mother is from Shanghai, and she is a master of knitting sweaters." Although Cui Yuechan dresses simply and plainly, after all, she was born in a family of poetry and books, and her temperament is elegant and decent, so she is not a local at first glance.
"Oh, really, husband, buy it, I haven't seen such beautiful little shoes and socks before, and I can't buy them if I miss them."
"Just buy it, hey, how do you sell it?"
"Shoes 2 yuan 5 a pair, socks 2 yuan 3 a pair, you have to buy more, you can get a discount."
The husband hesitated and asked his wife, "How much do you want to buy?" ”
Pregnant women are a little hesitant "this ......"
Fei Lingyi saw that the two of them were a little undecided, so she hurriedly said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I sell it every day, but I have experience, I usually prepare 3 sets, and the child has a lot of urine, so 3 sets can be replaced, and at least 2 sets must be used." Now that I only have one child, I can't be wronged. ”
The two of them said at the same time, "Then 3 sets." The two didn't bargain, they paid 14 yuan 4 and left.
Cui Yuechan's eyes widened, "Lingyi, this money is so easy to earn?" My monthly salary is less than 80 yuan, and the thread money for these 3 sets of shoes and socks is less than 1 yuan 5, so I make a net profit of almost 13 yuan. ”
Fei Lingyi smiled: "Mom, the labor of the two of us also has to be counted." Wait, it's time for the day. ”
The first opening business had an income of 14 yuan 4, and Cui Yuechan's spirit also came, weaving faster in her hands, but her eyes kept looking around, for fear of missing a buyer.
The fat aunt bought vegetables and came over, Fei Lingyi just finished knitting a pair of small shoes, the fat aunt saw it, and was very happy, "Okay, good, really good, little girl, how much?" ”
"Auntie, my selling price for these ordinary small shoes is 2 yuan 5, although your small shoes cost a little more thread, see that you are so sincere, also give 2 yuan 5."
"Okay!" The fat aunt paid happily, and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Fei Lingyi again.
"Auntie, I just remembered, can your little grandson change a pair of shoes? Or, I'll knit you another pair, plus 2 pairs of oversized socks, and you can come here to get them the day after tomorrow, okay? ”
"How dare you be kind, this little girl, think about things is thoughtful, you weave it, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow." The fat aunt happily left.
Soon, the small things on the stall were sold until the last 2 pairs of small shoes were left, Fei Lingyi was very happy, took out the money from her bag, and counted 1510.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a figure, Jiang Zhiyuan and a girl held hands and walked over from the other side of the street. When he walked past Fei Lingyi's stall, he was stunned for a moment, and then he pretended not to see it and walked over as if nothing happened.
