After Jian Nan left, Hua Xiali sat on the bed in a daze. Jian Nan's feelings for her seemed to be deeper than she thought. This marriage might be difficult to get a divorce, but what could she do?
Who made fate take her back to her first life?
She couldn't possibly love Huo Beixi in her heart but spend her whole life with Jian Nan, right?
This is unfair to Jiannan.
Jian Nan is also a young man with good conditions and is very outstanding. He deserves complete love and should be loved wholeheartedly, but that person will not be her, and she can't do it.
Jian Huadong woke up and saw his mother sitting on the bed in a daze, so he went over and hugged her, "Mom, are you awake?"
Hua Xiali nodded, "Xiaodong is awake too? If you wake up, pack up and get ready. In the morning, Xiaodong and grandma will play with his brother at home while mom and aunt go out to do some work. In the afternoon, I will take Xiaodong to play with other kids. Is that okay?"
Jian Huadong nodded sensibly, "Mom, I can do it. I will listen to grandma."
As he said that, he threw back the quilt and got up, picked up his coat and started putting it on. Now that it was March and the temperature had risen a lot, there was no need to wear such thick clothes as in winter.
After breakfast, Hua Xiali handed Jian Huadong to her mother, and set off with Hua Qiuli pushing a wooden cart. They were going to the farmer's market to wholesale things. It was inconvenient to take the bus, so they could only push the wooden cart themselves.
Hua Xiali thought about it and decided that he could make money faster by selling braised food. It was now 1996, and everyone's wages were rising, and prices were also rising. At this time, braised food could be sold for two yuan per serving. If he wholesaled two thousand kilograms of pork offal a day, he could make more than two thousand yuan, and tens of thousands a month.
But at the beginning, if it was just her and Hua Qiuli, they would definitely not be able to bring back 2,000 kilograms. At most, they could bring back 200 kilograms to try.
After deducting the cost, I can probably make around 200 yuan from 200 kilograms of pig offal, which means I can make 6,000 yuan a month, which is pretty good.
After making money and increasing production, Hua Qiuli will see that she can make money at home and will definitely not think about going out, because the salary outside is only three or four hundred yuan a month, and for a girl like her, going out alone is full of uncertainty and danger.
Hua Xiali took Hua Qiuli to wholesale packaging boxes, convenience bags, and seasonings, and then took Hua Qiuli to the farmer's market to buy pig offal. After buying everything, Hua Qiuli asked in confusion, "Second sister, where did you get the money?"
"Jian Nan gave it to me yesterday." Hua Xiali said embarrassedly. She didn't have a job, so where did the money come from? In fact, she had relied on Jian Nan to give her money all these years, but she hadn't awakened before. Now that she has awakened, she naturally can't go on like this. She has to make money, she has to rely on herself, and she has to pay Jian Nan back.
She doesn't even live with them, so how can she spend their money?
Now it's the early stage of starting a business, she has no money and no way out.
Of course, Jian Nan would have to pay for the child's support and living expenses, after all, the child was arranged for them by the author.
"Will my second brother-in-law be angry if I do this?" Hua Qiuli asked worriedly.
It seems that no one likes their daughter-in-law to use money to support her parents' home. If the Jian family knew about this, they would definitely be angry.
"What's the big deal? I can just pay back as much as I need. And I didn't use much today." Hua Xiali said, and then the two of them pushed the things on the wooden cart back home. When they got home, they locked the gate, and everyone carried the things down, and then drew water from the well to wash them.
The public water well at the back has been vacant for many years and is probably not usable now. When Huo Beixi lived there, it was always used by Huo Beixi, but Huo Beixi has been dead for five years and probably no one has used this well in the past five years.
Hua Xiali, Hua's mother, and Hua Qiuli sat together cleaning pig offal. Jian Huadong was playing with his younger brother, but his younger brother couldn't play with him, so he was performing a one-man show there by himself, but he was having a lot of fun.
There wasn't much pig offal today, so it didn't take particularly long to clean it. After cleaning it, everyone carried the offal to the kitchen. Hua Xiali stewed one pot in a large iron pot, and then another pot in a double-handled pot on the stove. Because one of the pots was used to boil water for bathing, it couldn't be contaminated with oil, otherwise the boiled water would not be usable for bathing.
With only one pot and one stove, it was impossible to braise more than 100 kilograms of pork offal, so Hua Xiali went to fetch the stoves from his third and fourth uncles' houses, so that he could braise almost all the pork offal in one go.
"Xia Li, what do you want to do by bringing back so many pig offal?" Hua's mother asked in confusion.
Because she was busy dealing with the pig offal, she didn't ask so many questions.
"Mom, in three hours you will know what I'm doing." Hua Xiali stuffed a few pieces of firewood into the bottom of the pot. Watching the fire burn more and more vigorously, she seemed to see hope.
She got rich in every life by making braised food, and has been doing it for several lives. She can be said to be very experienced now, so she can definitely make money now.
There was firewood at the bottom of the pot, so there was no need to keep an eye on it. Just stir it occasionally to prevent the stewed food from sticking to the pot. Three hours later, Hua Xiali opened the lid of the pot, and a strong fragrance wafted out, making everyone swallow their saliva. Even Jian Huadong ran over, stood by Hua Xiali's legs, and said with a longing look on his face, "Mom, it smells so good!"
"Do you want to eat?" Hua Xiali reached out and touched his face. "Stand aside first, don't burn yourself. I'll cut a small bowl for you to try later."
Hua Xiali asked Jian Huadong to stand further away, then took out the braised food from the pot and placed it on a clean dustpan, so as to drain the soup and cool it down.
After the temperature dropped, Hua Xiali called her mother and Hua Qiuli to cut the braised food, while she was responsible for packing it. She put the braised food into take-away boxes with chopsticks and then weighed it. When it was full of one kilogram, she would scoop a ladle of soup into it so that others could heat it up and use it to cook vegetables when they bought it back.
Hua Xiali also picked up a small bowl for Jian Huadong and asked him to take it to the main room to eat. He also reminded him not to feed it to his younger brother as his younger brother could not eat it now.
Today, we wholesaled 200 kilograms of pork offal. Apart from the ones for tasting at home, the rest were packed into 138 portions. Hua Xiali said as he packed them, "There are 138 portions in total. We use three boxes for tasting. Whenever someone comes to ask about the price, we let them try one piece. The remaining 135 portions are for sale at 2 yuan per portion. We can make 270 yuan. After deducting the cost, we can make 170 yuan, which is not bad."
Hua Xiali said this with a look of anticipation on his face.
This is just the beginning. After a few days, we will add more people and earn 1,700 yuan a day. (End of this chapter)
