Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 663 Don't be afraid

Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said: "But it's so profitable! Otherwise, why would you bring it all the way here? Do you want it to take up space on purpose?"

Xue Ling clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Yes! It's all for money! The hustle and bustle is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle is all for profit. People, working hard just for a profit! If not for money, why are you working so hard?"

Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly. Seeing that the sky was a little dark, he whispered: "There may be snow in the afternoon. There are not many people in the market, so we can sell as much as we can. If it snows, we might as well go back to the hospital to stay with Ah Hu. If you keep it, it won’t be sold.”

There will be fewer people after it snows, and it will be difficult to find a small truck. There must be very few people coming here.

Xue Ling nodded.

The two of them were chatting in low voices. Someone came in from outside, stared at the two of them in surprise, and asked, "Who are you? Where is Ahu? Why doesn't he do business?"

Xue Ling knew she was an old customer as soon as she heard it, and explained that something happened to Ahu. She was the store owner, so she came to visit the store temporarily.

The man was very fat, about 40 years old, and his eyes were narrowed into a line.

"Hey! Are you sick? It snows every three days, so everyone has to get sick. That kid is so strong and can still fall ill - I have to laugh at him next time."

Xue Ling felt that she looked familiar and couldn't help but ask: "Are you Ahu's friend? Please come in! Please come in!"

"I am his old customer." The fat woman said with a smile: "It snowed two days ago, so I didn't come here much. What? Big sale? Are sweaters all cheap?"

Xue Ling knew that she was an acquaintance and couldn't lie to her, so he had to explain: "I have things to do at home and my children are young, so I can't stay in the provincial capital for too long, so I want to sell all my goods and go home quickly. Ahu is ill and can't help for the time being, so we, as a couple, can only sell everything quickly and get some money to pay for the trip home."

The fat woman rolled her eyes and cursed: "I bought it for six yuan a while ago! It's still cheap! You fell like this in the blink of an eye! Thank you to me!"

"It's not a loss at all." Xue Ling said with a smile: "Didn't I just say it? This is the bottom of the stock, and the numbers are not complete, so I have to sell it."

After hearing this, the fat woman frowned and asked, "What numbers are left? How many more are there?"

Xue Ling took out the list, subtracted the thousand pieces that the previous person bought, matched a pair of each number, and replied: "There are four hundred pieces left in the medium size, and the others are all large and small."

The fat woman thought for a moment and said, "If I want all of them, I'll have to find a bargain. The numbers are all gone, so I might still lose money."

Xue Ling smiled bitterly, pointing to the red paper on her head and explained: "Sister, I'm not lying to you, this is really the cheapest. If I hadn't been anxious to return to my hometown, I wouldn't have calculated the price, and I would have already lost money. "

"Who are you lying to?" the fat woman said gruffly: "It's four and a half dollars a piece, are you coming? If you come, sell it to me regardless of whether it's good or bad. If you don't come, then I'm leaving. It's already the bottom of the stock. If it snows twice more, it will be the New Year. If you don’t want to sell it, just keep it for yourself.”

Xue Ling thought for a while and asked: "Is it okay to sell you the rest of the sweaters in the store? If so, I will be willing to pay this price. I am also a cheerful person. If you say yes, I will sell it to you immediately. Come load the goods. If not, you are welcome to come back next year to see the new goods."

"Other leftovers? How many are they?" The fat woman is also a shrewd person and asked curiously: "Don't just give me all the rubbish. I'm not a rubbish picker!"

Xue Ling smiled and replied: "About a hundred pieces, with several styles."

The fat woman nodded: "Bring it to me for a look. If it's too disgusting, I won't accept it."

Xue Ling took out some of the remaining goods and said: "Let's sell half of them and give them away. These are some sweaters that were leftover from the store before. Some of them are samples, just because they were thrown around by customers. Later, It's a little dirty. As long as you clean it carefully, it won't affect you at all."

The fat woman looked carefully and saw that Xue Ling's words were true, so she quickly agreed.

So, all the sweaters in the store were cleared out, and Cheng Tianyuan helped count the numbers. There were a total of one thousand, one hundred and thirteen pieces.

After the guest paid, Cheng Tianyuan went outside to find a car, helped him load the pickup truck, and left in a hurry.Xue Ling counted the money and said, "I'm a little hungry. Isn't it already noon?"

"It's already past twelve o'clock." Cheng Tianyuan replied, "It's afternoon."

Xue Ling rubbed his stomach and whispered: "I'm very hungry, why don't we go find something to eat first."

Cheng Tianyuan explained: "It's important to open a shop without people. You wait here and I'll go buy something to eat. It's a bit gloomy outside and I'm afraid it will rain or snow on the way."

Xue Ling had no choice but to nod and turn around to pack the bags and cartons in the store.

The two had a simple lunch and found that it was really snowing outside, and it was falling quite heavily.

When it snows, the wholesale market becomes even more deserted.

Xue Ling stamped his feet and yawned.

Cheng Tianyuan asked warmly: "Are you sleepy? Why don't you go to the corner and squint for a while, and I'll just watch."

"No need." Xue Ling explained: "I slept enough last night, mainly because I was bored and too busy, so I yawned instead of feeling sleepy."

Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's close the shop and go back to the hospital."

Xue Ling looked at the big boxes all over the store and couldn't help but feel worried.

"There are still [-] winter coats. I don't know...if they can be sold."

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "How much is the capital? If you don't sell it, the loss...should be huge, right?"

"At least tens of thousands of yuan." Xue Ling rubbed his head and whispered: "It's the end of the year, and no one comes to the wholesale market. Unless the weather gets better, not many people will buy such thin winter clothes. It's cold. Yes, it’s snowing heavily, so naturally I have to buy thick and heavy sweaters and coats to wear, this is human nature!”

Originally she didn't want to buy too many winter clothes, but Ahu was a little insistent.

He said that this year’s Chinese New Year shouldn’t be too cold and he could buy more winter clothes, so he added two more batches of goods.

Cheng Tianyuan was afraid that she would be worried, so he reassured her: "Don't worry, we will sell it sooner or later. If it doesn't work, just sell it at cost. We can still afford to lose money now. We are not afraid of the worst, we will sell it as much as we can."

"That's all I can think of!" Xue Ling nodded helplessly.

It was very cold in the store, and the kerosene stove went out from time to time, making it difficult to even boil hot water for drinking.The couple simply packed up the store, closed the door, and hurried back to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, the heavy snow stopped and the sky became clear.

Ahu was still taking the dialysis injection and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Wang Qing, wrapped in his military uniform, was taking a nap aside. When he saw the couple coming in with red faces and hands from the cold, he quickly poured a cup of hot water for each of them.

Xue Ling warmed his hands and asked with a smile: "Is he okay? The doctor came to change the dressing? What should I say?"

Wang Qing replied: "Change it. The doctor applied medicine to the wound and said that the stitches can be removed in a few days. He lost a lot of blood, so he fell asleep. The doctor said to let him rest more and not move around, so as not to injure him. The wound was actually not good. I asked him and he said that he had a diaphragm injection, so it didn’t hurt at all.”
