good old days

Old Man Jiang will be buried in two days, and Jiang Xinyu has to leave if she can't wait any longer.

To put it bluntly, there is not enough affection.

Debts disappear after death, and family ties will not increase out of thin air.

She had hated the old man with all her teeth in the past. She had been far away from him in the past few years. She was not as disgusted as when she first came here, but it was impossible to like him.

Taking a donkey cart to the commune, I met Ding Changhai on a bicycle halfway.

"Are you leaving?"

Ding Changhai heard from his wife that Chen Yi's family would not be able to stay for a few days, but he did not expect to leave so quickly.

The old man driving the donkey shouted "Hu", the car stopped and said to several people: "Wait for a while, you can go and talk."

Under the shade of the trees in the forest, Ding Changhai turned his back to others and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xinyu, "This is the payment for this batch of goods. I am here to give you money today. You are back, save the money I'll go to the post office to mail it."

Jiang Xinyu didn't open the cloth bag and put it directly into the small cloth bag in front of her, "Brother Chang Hai, although the market environment is getting more and more relaxed, you still have to be careful at this stage, but you have always been careful and prudent in doing things, so there is no need for me to say anything. .”

Ding Changhai smiled as usual: "I have to thank you for giving me business. If it hadn't been for these few times, I wouldn't have been able to save so much money."

"You haven't bought the tickets yet, okay? I'll ask my uncle to buy a berth for you. Today, you'll go to the county guest house to stay for one night. I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook a table of delicious food."

Chen Yi declined and said he would go to the city to visit his mother-in-law.

"Okay, let's meet again next time we have the chance."

The donkey cart set off again. Ding Changhai rode his bicycle faster than the donkey cart. After passing, he made a face at Xiao Jiang Yan.

Ding Changhai quickly returned to his home in the commune. Zhao Ying wondered, "Why did you come back not long after you left?"

As soon as Ding Changhai explained the situation, Zhao Ying pursed her lips.

After a while, she said: "Since they are going back so soon, we will go back to the county tomorrow. What should we do if something goes wrong in the store while we are not here? I will go deliver the sesame oil to my aunt's family now, and I will come back to cook in a while. .”

Zhao Ying found an excuse to leave, but instead of going to her aunt, she waited at the commune station.

When Jiang Xinyu's family arrived, they saw her standing in front, smiling and waving.

Several people were still wondering, Ding Changhai had just left not long ago, why did his wife arrive at the station? It seemed like they were waiting for them all the way.

Zhao Ying came forward and handed over a pot of sesame oil in his hand, "This is freshly squeezed. Changhai just came back and said you were leaving, so I will bring it to you quickly."

Wang Sumei waved her hand: "You haven't finished what you sent last time, and you still can't finish what you sent as a gift. You might as well take it back."

After some rejection, Zhao Ying forced it into the hands of Jiang Xinyu, who was empty-handed.

Zhao Ying smiled: "Don't be polite to us, a little oil is not worth anything."

"Sister Xinyu, let's slow down the fabric business for the next month. My brother just had an accident this time, and I'm afraid something will happen again."

Jiang Xinyu was surprised, "What happened to your brother? What happened?" Ding Changhai didn't say anything else before. The money in his pocket was quite large, probably nine thousand six hundred yuan.

"Was he robbed or arrested? How is your brother?"

Jiang Xinyu guessed that the problem was not big, otherwise why didn't Ding Changhai mention it? And gave you all the money?

Zhao Ying sighed, "I met robbers on the road and were surrounded and beaten. In addition to recovering the payment of more than 1,000 yuan, all the fabrics and money on them were robbed. They are both lucky to come back well. So I thought about it Wait for a month before selling, otherwise you won’t feel at ease.”

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the changes in the faces of the three of them.

She couldn't resist her man's insistence on paying 9,600, but she couldn't just watch her family suffer such a big loss without Jiang Xinyu knowing about it.

Her man was righteous, but the loss was thousands of dollars. She couldn't let the money go out and get nothing in exchange.

"Don't worry. My brother suffered only superficial injuries. He will recover in a few days. You can rest assured and take the bus back. I think the bus is almost full. You should hurry up and buy tickets. Come back to my house for dinner next time."

Jiang Xinyu subconsciously put down the oil can and opened the cloth bag slung in front of her to get the money inside, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how much money Brother Changhai gave. He lost this time. If he returns the profits, then I really can't Yes, you happen to be here, I will give you the money."

Zhao Ying waved her hands hurriedly, "You can't do it, you can't do it, we won't lose any of your responsibilities. Changhai has already made a lot of money, even if we lose this time, we will still make money. Okay, you go and buy tickets. I have to get back to cooking."

Zhao Ying ran away, while Jiang Xinyu held the bag in her hand and looked at Chen Yi.

Wang Sumei hugged the child and muttered: "Why can't I understand these two couples?"

Even Wang Sumei, who had lived for decades, couldn't understand it, and neither could Jiang Xinyu.

Did Zhao Ying take it upon herself to block them, or did Ding Changhai send his wife here because he was too embarrassed to say it?

At this time, she felt a little unhappy. She was glad that nothing serious happened to Ding Changhai and Zhao Ying, but the money in the bag in front of her became a hot potato.

The two parties cooperated, and she and Chen Zhengyu paid for the goods. As the sales terminal, Ding Changhai took the most and took the greatest risks. Logically speaking, he wholesaled fabrics from them, but the payment became an advance payment by them.

When she thought about it, her face became serious. This was wrong. It seemed that she and Chen Zhengyu should not have advanced the funds, but should have directly sold the fabric to Ding Changhai at a price of four and eight yuan per meter. It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, Ding Changhai would pay them out of his own pocket, which would be a bit embarrassing.

After the new money and goods are settled, the risk belongs to Ding Changhai alone. Whether they lose or make money has nothing to do with them.

She frowned. There should have been clear rules on how to distribute the money, but considering the relationship between the two parties, although she made it clear when discussing cooperation, she did not consider the issue of who would be responsible for the shortfall after something happened.

There were no empty seats on the bus, and a family of four were crowded in the middle. Jiang Xinyu held on to the pole, and her slightly furrowed eyebrows revealed her tangled emotions at this time.

After a while, she looked at Chen Yi: "If he gives the same amount as the previous two times, should I return the profit to him?"

She expressed her thoughts, and Chen Yidao said: "If he gives you the profit, give that part to your mother when you go back, and ask her to send it back after we leave."

Zhao Ying has said it out loud, can they pretend that nothing happened? Since you can't take the money with peace of mind, it's better to return the profits.

Regardless of whether Zhao Ying came to them behind Ding Changhai's back or he was the one who was originally favored, if they show their attitude here, Jiang Xinyu will not be the one who feels uncomfortable.

It is about interests, no matter how good the relationship is, there is no perfect solution unless one party is willing to suffer a loss.
