Chapter 742 Im sick and Ive only fallen into a pit twice!
Wang Lidong waved goodbye to his ex-wife, and before he could stop his bicycle when he got home, he was hurriedly pulled into the living room by his cheap brother.
"Brother, I heard from mom that Wen Hui is pregnant?"
Looking at his excited brother, Wang Lidong said speechlessly, "Brother, why are you so excited?"
"Our old Liu family has a baby. How can I not be excited about such a big thing?" He Yunchang took his arm and complained, "Hong Chang, your brother and I are useless. Many people are pointing fingers at me behind my back.
You're laughing at me, I can't give birth to a son.
This grandson, Xiao Qin, shows off his two daughters every time he sees me. Bah! He’s so proud, and he won’t be someone else’s daughter-in-law when he gets married.”
He glared at his wife, "Why are you still standing there? Go stir-fry some side dishes. For such a big happy event, I must have two drinks with Hong Chang. I'll go get two bottles of wine," he said as he slipped out of the living room.
After a while, he returned to the house humming a little tune and carrying two bottles of liquor.
"Hong Chang, these two bottles of Xifeng wine, but three years ago, when your eldest brother and I became the work model of the bureau, I was rewarded by the factory, but I have been hiding it and was not willing to drink it."
When the sister-in-law brought three side dishes into the living room, the whole family toasted to celebrate the arrival of the third generation of the Liu family.
Mother Liu put down the wine cup, looked at her youngest son and said, "Hong Chang, when do you plan to let Wen Hui know about the pregnancy?"
Wang Lidong cracked a peanut and said, "Let's do it next week. If she finds out by herself during that period, that would be the best."
The eldest brother and sister-in-law all looked surprised, "Wen Hui doesn't know she's pregnant? Isn't it possible?"
"I really don't know, I don't have any symptoms."
"Then how do you know?"
Wang Lidong used the same rhetoric to deceive my mother. Brother Cheap didn't believe it. This Chinese medicine doctor must be so eager to learn that there are doctors all over the street. Seeing that her man wanted to get to the bottom of things, her sister-in-law Yingzi kicked her lightly and took over the conversation, "
Hong Chang, why didn’t you tell Wen Hui about her pregnancy today?”
Wang Lidong said, "I'm not afraid that Wen Hui will find out, but I have to guard against the vampires in her house.
Sister-in-law, believe it or not, if Wen Hui finds out about the pregnancy today, tomorrow morning, the He family will come to our house to negotiate terms.
Their family happens to have a huge deficit right now, and a great opportunity comes to their doorstep. They will never let it go until they take a bite out of us."
The sister-in-law asked in confusion, "Isn't it the same if I tell Wen Hui a few days later?"
Wang Lidong presented the IOU written by He Wenhui and said, "As long as they spend these five hundred yuan, the initiative will fall into our hands."
Liu's mother took the IOU and looked at it twice, then said, "If it's not convenient for you to come forward, just leave it alone. I'll go talk to Wen Hui's mother in two days."
Wang Lidong nodded, originally he meant the same thing.
The eldest brother He Yunchang asked doubtfully, "Hong Chang, I hear what you mean, it seems that you only want children and don't plan to remarry Wen Hui?"
"The He family is a bottomless pit, and I finally climbed out. I am sick, so I only fell into a pit twice!"
"No! If you and Wen Hui have a child, Wen Hui will definitely live in our house. At most, we will provide some living expenses."
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said, "Brother, what you think is too good. Tell you, it's impossible. He Wenhui is a super 'little brother-supporting demon'. In her heart, her own children are not as important as her precious brothers and sisters.
"
In the TV series, the woman He Wenhui even wanted to abort her child for the sake of He Wenyuan, He Wentao, and He Wenhui. Later, after giving birth to a daughter, she basically didn't care about it, and her thoughts were still focused on the litter of wolf cubs.
"What Fu Di Mo?"
"It refers to the elder brothers and sisters who have been influenced by the family since childhood. When they grow up, they devote themselves to the younger brothers and sisters regardless of the cost. Rounding up, they are the second mother of the younger brother."
Sister-in-law Yingzi smiled and said, "Hong Chang, when Wenhui gives birth to a child, her thoughts will definitely be on her own child."
The eldest brother Liu Yunchang secretly tugged at the hem of his wife's clothes, then picked up the wine cup and had a drink with him, "Hong Chang, let's go one by one."
After drinking a few cups of white wine with Wang Lidong, the cheap brother patted his chest and said, "Hong Chang, don't worry, if Wenhui doesn't want to live in our house, then the child will be taken care of by me and Yingzi, and we will definitely raise the child to be white and fat.
of."
Sister-in-law Yingzi's eyes were brightened, and she hurriedly said that when the time comes, the child will be left to her and she will definitely treat it like her own son.
What good things are you thinking about?
Wang Lidong glanced at the cheap eldest brother and his sister-in-law, and he knew the thoughts of these two people very well. He was not like his predecessor, who adopted his daughter to his eldest brother and took care of other people's children.
"This won't bother my elder brother and sister-in-law. Mom is busy at home every day."
The cheap brother immediately jumped up, pointed at him and said, "Hong Chang, don't you trust your brother and me? Don't you remember that when I was a child, my mother was busy making money, but I raised you single-handedly.
Mom has worked hard for both of us all her life, and at such an old age, how can you have the nerve to let her take care of the children again, and you feel so embarrassed?!"
Sister-in-law Yingzi also assisted and said, "Hong Chang, don't worry, although my sister-in-law has never raised children, she helped my mother raise her younger siblings before she got married."
Wang Lidong thanked the couple for their kindness and said, "Brother, just like me, you have to go to work during the day. As a sister-in-law, you have to do most of the housework at home. If you add another child, your body will definitely be unable to bear it.
Mom is only in her early fifties this year and has a strong body. I estimate that she can live to be at least a hundred years old. In other words, life has just begun. In the remaining decades, Mom cannot be left to eat and wait every day.
Damn it, that’s too boring.” He raised his glass and said to his mother, “Da Lanzi, am I right?”
Mother Liu pretended to be angry, stretched out her hand and hit him lightly, "No big or small. I don't expect to live to be a hundred years old. As long as I see your children get married and start a business, I will be satisfied. Okay, Hong Chang, you and
I will take care of Wen Hui's child."
Liu Yunchang became anxious and called his mother several times. Mother Liu glared at her eldest son fiercely. She knew exactly what his eldest son was thinking. She really missed her son so much that she even wanted to take away his brother's child.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She changed the subject and said, "Boss, how many sets of antennas have been produced now?"
Liu Yunchang took a sip of liquor unhappily and said, "Ask Yingzi about this, she is responsible for doing the accounting."
Sister-in-law Eiko took out a small notebook from her pocket and said, "As of yesterday, a total of 891 sets were produced. Today we estimate that we can produce about 40 sets. The warehouse is almost full. Can we sell it outside?"
At the beginning, the Liu family made the antennas themselves, working until eleven o'clock every day, and only about ten sets were made in a day.
It’s inefficient and tiring.
Wang Lidong asked his eldest brother to find three apprentices from their factory and go to their home after get off work to help process parts.
The payment is calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, and you will be charged 2 cents for each set produced.
Efficiency improved immediately, and more than thirty sets could be produced in a day. It didn't cost much, but it saved people trouble and effort.
Wang Lidong thought for a while and then said, "We will start selling tomorrow. Tomorrow night I will go to the family courtyard of the Light Industry Bureau to make noodles.
I know several residents in that community, and every household has a TV. When the time comes, I will help these households install it first, and then let these households help sell the antennas. From now on, we will only do wholesale, and leave the retail to these people.
Come and do it.”
At the same time, He Wenhui dragged her tired body back home. As soon as she stepped through the door, she was surrounded by the whole family. The youngest, He Wentao, was the most concerned and asked first, "Sister, have you borrowed the money?"
Mother He said, "Your eldest sister has been tired for a day. Let her sit down and talk. Wenyuan, give your sister a cup of tea."
Wen Hui took the tea cup, took two sips and said, "I borrowed it. Tomorrow morning we will call the little yellow cat family over and settle the matter."
He Wenyuan clapped his hands and said, "That's great." He Wentao even showed a rare smile, and He's mother looked pleased, "Borrowed it from Junling?"
He Wenhui shook her head slightly and said, "Sister Junling's money was used by Houdunzi to invest in coal mines and so on. She only had a few dozen yuan left in her hand. How could I dare to ask? I asked my third uncle to borrow 30 yuan, and my second cousin 50 yuan."
, Sanjiu’s family Hongchang 500 yuan.”
He Wenyuan frowned and said, "Sister, why did you ask Big Brother Liu to borrow money? This damn cook definitely didn't have any good intentions when he lent you money! You weren't taken advantage of by him, were you?!!"
He Wenhui said angrily, "Wenyuan, what nonsense are you talking about! I borrowed from all my relatives and friends, and I only borrowed 290 yuan. If it weren't for Hong Chang, I wouldn't have been able to get 800 yuan together."
He's mother said to her eldest daughter, "Thanks to Hong Chang this time. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to raise the money. Wen Hui, please find an opportunity to treat him to a meal and thank him properly."
He Wenyuan snorted coldly, "Mom, that cook is not a good person. He must have some evil intentions when lending money to my sister this time."
Liu's mother slammed the table and said, "Wenyuan, what did mom teach you? No matter how unhappy we were with Hong Chang in the past, if they are willing to lend money to our family this time, that means they are being kind to our family. You must
We must remember the kindness others have shown us."
The second child, He Wenyuan, looked disgusted and snorted lightly, but did not beep again.
After her younger siblings went out to Erqing's house to watch TV, He Wenhui said to He's mother, "Mom, I promise Hong Chang that I will pay him back 15 yuan every month in the future, but don't worry, I will find a way to find some odd jobs."
, the family’s food and expenses will not be affected. It’s just that I won’t be able to save much money every month.”
Mother He's face changed slightly, she reached out and patted her daughter's hand and said, "Wen Hui, I'm really sorry for you. You are in charge of this family now, and you have the final say. All unnecessary expenses will be stopped, and don't buy mom's medicine."
Now, I can save seven or eight yuan a month, and then I can buy a few kilograms of eggs for Wenyuan Wentao and the others."
"Mom! No! If you stop taking the medicine, there is no hope for your eyes to recover."
"Wen Hui, mom's eyes are like this, don't waste your money."
"Why is this a waste of money? I will ask Sister Junling tomorrow to do some private sewing work. I should be able to earn seven or eight yuan in a month. That's it."
She checked the time and saw that it was almost half past nine. She was about to go out and call her brothers and sisters to go home and sleep. Mother He suddenly pulled her and asked her to sit down again. She said, "There is something I forgot to tell you."
, Aunt Qu from the yard next door came to me the day before yesterday and said she wanted to introduce you to someone."
He Wenhui refused, "Mom, there are so many things at home, let's talk about this later."
Mother He took her daughter's hand and said, "Wenhui, you and Hong Chang have been divorced for several months. It's time to find someone else. Find someone you like while you are still young. The older you get, the harder it is to find a suitable partner.
.I am at home, and Wen Yuan, Wentao and the others have all grown up. Don’t worry about your family.”
Seeing that the eldest daughter remained silent, He's mother said, "Did you hear what mom said?"
"I heard it," He Wenhui said, "Mom, I understand, let's talk about it later."
Mother He nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later. Mom won't force you. But you should take this matter to heart. If there are colleagues in the unit who can talk about it, you can bring it back to Mom for a look."
The next day, Wang Lidong left the unit half an hour early, went home and installed twenty sets of outdoor antennas. He took his cheap brother with him to the Light Industry Bureau community.
I went to several families I knew and tried to install outdoor antennas. The results were very good. Not only did I get a few more TV channels, but the picture was also much clearer. Three families happily paid 80 yuan.
Wang Lidong once again mentioned to these three families about helping with sales. They were all a little pushy at first, but when they heard about selling a set of antennas and offering a commission of ten yuan, they all readily agreed.
Wang Lidong left three sets of antennas in each of the three households. As for future maintenance orders, it is the responsibility of his elder brother Liu Yunchang.
After leaving the building, Brother Xianyuan said excitedly, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly? We sold 3 units at once. Hong Chang, go and do your work. I'll go to the neighborhood next door and see if I can sell a few more units."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Okay, be careful. I'll finish at almost eight o'clock."
In the next few days, Wang Lidong took his elder brother around to seven employee families' homes. Through his connections, he sold 19 sets of outdoor antennas and developed 17 sales personnel.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Early that morning, Wang Lidong walked out of the bedroom and saw his sister-in-law Yingzi flipping the abacus. He stepped forward and looked at the account book, "Four days
84 sets were sold, with sales reaching 6,720 yuan. After deducting sales commissions and costs, the profit was about 5,700 yuan.'
When the eldest brother Liu Yunchang saw his younger brother, he was beaming and said, "Hong Chang, in four days, we made a profit of 5,700 yuan. The cost of one thousand sets of antennas has been recouped. The remaining nine hundred sets of antennas are pure profit."
"
Wang Lidong hurriedly said, "Brother, please speak softly."
Liu Yunchang hurriedly lowered his voice and excitedly ran around the room a few times while talking. When the excitement passed, he suddenly frowned and said, "Hong Chang, last night, I went to the Metallurgical Bureau Family Courtyard to deliver goods and saw two households.
Someone made two antennas out of cans just like ours.
I asked about it, and although the effect is not as good as our antenna, it can still receive 4 TV stations.”
"You'll know what's going on when you see this thing." Wang Lidong picked up an empty bowl and filled a large bowl of rice porridge from the pot. "Brother, be satisfied. If everything goes well, all one thousand sets of antennas will be sold out.
If you earn almost 70,000 yuan, you can get about 23,000 yuan.
Do the math for yourself, can you earn so much if you work in the factory until retirement?"
Liu Yunchang hesitated for a while and then asked tentatively, "Hong Chang, do you think you can continue this antenna business?"
Wang Lidong said, "We can continue to do it. But this thing has little technical content. Imitation antennas will be on the market soon, and the competition will be fierce. Of course, we can also upgrade and improve the technological content inside, and we can also go to other markets."
build new business"
He Yunchang perked up, patted his thigh and said, "Yes, we have almost enough for sale in the market. You can go to other cities to sell. There are more than a dozen cities in our province. Even if you sell a thousand units in one place, you can sell more than 1,000 units."
"Ten thousand sets"
Wang Lidong smiled and did not pour cold water on his elder brother. Their antennas were sold so smoothly only because of the network resources he had accumulated. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for a new product to open the market.
In this day and age, if you go to an unfamiliar place to do business, you will most likely encounter a lot of trouble. What’s more, there are all kinds of robbers along the way. Just ask for money. If you encounter a ruthless person, just go to the west to report.
Already.
He Yunchang thought for a moment and then said, "Hong Chang, what do you think if I specialize in this antenna business?"
"Brother, do you want to resign and start your own business?" Wang Lidong glanced at his eldest brother and his sister-in-law. Their expressions were quite calm. They must have discussed it.
He Yunchang nodded and said, "I have this plan. The income from these four days can cover my salary for several years. In the past two years, the efficiency of the factory has not been good. The bonus has not been seen, and even the high temperature fee has been deducted! Rumor has it.
Rumor has it that in two months, wages may be paid at a 20% discount."
Wang Lidong looked around the yard, "I have no objection, but I still need to talk to my mother about this. Where is she?"
Sister-in-law Yingzi said, "I don't know. I went out early in the morning and didn't say anything when I asked her."
After breakfast, Wang Lidong pulled up 30 sets of antennas and went door-to-door to deliver goods to salesmen. He was busy until about ten o'clock before returning home.
As soon as he entered the yard, he heard Mother Liu's hearty laughter. He parked the car and stepped into the living room, "Mom, you found the money, are you so happy?"
The sister-in-law said with a smile, "Hong Chang, mother and Wen Hui's mother have already settled the matter of the child."
