"Girl, have you thought it over yet?"
Speaking is her old carpenter father. He sold the original table she gave him to the factory and made quite a bit of money.
This time, he had his eyes on her wardrobe style and sofa design.
Lin Wan designed the sofa in a new Chinese style, unvarnished solid wood. The design was very simple, with the armrests and back vertically hollowed, and a very deep seat, the matching coffee table was also very simple.
The wardrobe was also in a modern and very practical style.
The old man wanted to buy it for two hundred yuan. Lin Wan felt it was a bit low, "Three hundred, Iâll give it to you for three hundred."
The old man listened, frowned, feeling a bit pained but agreed. He even helped her make a few more stools in the end.
The kitchen cost twenty yuan, the toilet fifteen, wall painting twelve, and the furniture building cost eighty. A profit, indeed.
Over at Momâs, it also cost more than a hundred. But Mom didnât let Lin Wan help her pay, saying that now that sheâs married, being generous to her family would be used against her by her husbandâs family.
Lin Wan thought about it and didnât argue, thinking sheâd help Mom bring back a can of liquefied gas when the time came.
After busying herself for half a month, Momâs place had been open for a week. After finishing up the tasks in the two courtyards here, Lin Wan also received a package sent by her uncle. She hurriedly took the package and rode her bike to Momâs house.
Inside, besides some specialties from home sent to them, there were more than twenty doses of herbal medicine, and the letter mentioned herbal baths.
The letter also said that people in the village saw their family earning money outside and were envious. Ye Qingâs mom was making dumplings to sell in several villages and also made some money. Some villagers were jealous, and everyone was thinking of their small businesses. Liang Zhi took Aunt to open a noodle shop in the county, and business was pretty good.
Liang Song also got into a university in this city and would soon be a college student.
Looking at Uncleâs letter, Lin Wan felt genuinely happy for them.
"Uncleâs family has finally made it. We can be at ease here, isnât that so?" Brother had lost quite a bit of weight recently, not eating or sleeping well outside. He ran around for an entire week and only recovered after sleeping for a day and a night at home.
"Uncleâs family is doing well, but you have to be careful too, canât risk your life for money."
Facing his sisterâs "criticism," Lin Yinghui laughed, "In some towns, thereâs no place to stay, so we rely on kind locals. If you find someone friendly, they might let you stay, but most are afraid weâre bad people. Itâs normal; if I were them, I wouldnât let two strangers stay, especially not men. We can only nap in the wilderness, but luckily itâs summer. Other than mosquitoes being annoying, itâs pretty alright. This time out, we secured quite a few orders. We arranged a tractor to deliver goods monthly to the towns below. Although itâs a hassle, the quantity makes it worthwhile. We earned quite a bit this time."
Liang Hongmei carried in the dishes and prepared to serve dinner, feeling a pang of sorrow hearing her sonâs words, "Money is endless, Momâs at peace with it. Earning enough for us to spend is fine. When you graduate, the school will surely assign you a job. At that time, Xiao Wan and I will manage the shop; you can go directly to work at your unit. Youâll have a stable job and a guarantee. Then, Mom will find you a wife, or if you prefer, find one yourself, but youâll need to meet my satisfaction."
"Mom, I know, I still have a year to go, itâs early yet." Lin Yinghuiâs face warmed up, not wanting Mom to latch onto this issue any longer, and he spoke again, "With President Wuâs load added, our workshop supply is struggling a bit. We discussed it and plan to bring in another piece of equipment."
