However, Grandma Zhou still came to help. This time, she was more enthusiastic and sincere.
Previously, she thought that Zhou Boyan had been cheated by his neighbor. Who would dare to lend others 50 yuan?
She wanted to see what this neighbor's family was up to. Unexpectedly, just a day later, the 50 yuan turned into 500 yuan and they returned it to them.
And it was earned from legitimate business.
She came to help this time to thank Yue Yan and her family for letting their family earn money with them.
She heard that Zhou Boyan brought Yue Yan to the market. Yue Yan specially thanked Zhou Boyan by letting the Zhou Family earn money together with them.
Yueyue was really a good child.
This time, it took three days for all the materials to be used up. There were already crude knockoff hair ties on the market, but no one had imitated the headband yet.
Although Yue Huaide was mentally prepared, he was still furious.
No wonder her daughter said that they could only do it one last time. Someone imitated them so quickly.
It did not go well this time either. It was mainly because the teachers' and health schools' consumers' market was already saturated.
Yue Huaide rode his tricycle to a few more places to shout out. He specially stopped in front of the factories with many female employees for a while. Those female employees were attracted by the shouting during mealtimes and after work.
They found it strange that a man would sell the hair accessories that women wore on their hair.
Many women had been looking forward to it for a long time.
They had long heard that there was a man selling hair bands at the entrance of the teachers' and nurses' schools. The hair bands he made were beautiful and had many styles, especially the unique headbands. This time, it was finally their turn at the entrance of the factory.
Female workers were more capable of spending money, especially unmarried female workers. They bought a few pairs and did not feel the pinch at all.
Even so, it took Yue Huaide almost a week to sell the things that took up half the space in the house.
However, the income was also considerable. Yue Yan's 400 yuan became 2,000 yuan, and Yue Huaide's 200 yuan became 1,000 yuan. The family's finances were no longer tight.
It was almost a windfall to earn such a large sum of money.
Yue Huaide finally changed his mind. He did not want to ride a tricycle anymore.
Yue Yan was extremely touched. Her father was finally enlightened.
"Yueyue, what are your plans for this sum of money?"
Yue Huaide had a huge sum of money with him. He had earned so much money in less than a month. He trusted his daughter unconditionally to make any decision now.
Yue Yan said honestly, "I want to buy a house and a shop front."
"Why are you buying a house? Do you want to do business by buying a shop front?"
"Dad, money is used to invest. That's how we get more and more of them. Even if the house is a dead object, it can be used as a place to stay. Will renting a house really feel safe for us?"
Yue Huaide fell silent. Of course, renting a house was insecure. It even made him feel like he had no roots and the wind could blow him away.
Yue Huaide nodded heavily. "I'll listen to you. Buy a house and a shop front!"
Yue Yan reminded, "Call me along to take a look at the house. If we want to buy a house, buy a good location."
After the conversation between the father and daughter ended, Yue Yan did not forget her little friend.
"You want to buy a house?" Zhou Boyan found it unbelievable. The little girl's way of thinking was really ahead of time. Who would want to buy a house in this era?
Yue Yan nodded heavily. "Yes, yes. My house is rented. I'm so afraid that the landlord will chase our family away one day."
They would not move over immediately after buying the house. It was mainly used to increase their wealth and in case of emergencies.
If they wanted to do business in the future, they might really need a big house with a courtyard.
Although the neighbors did not guess what they were doing at home this time, they more or less knew that her family had earned money.
One had to be wary of others.
"Alright, call me if you want to see the house. My grandfather's legs are not good, so it's inconvenient for him to go upstairs. He has been staying in the dormitory. My family has to change to a house with a courtyard. Otherwise, Grandma will have to run to and fro every day."
Yue Yan really wanted to ask: Is money like paper to you?
However, she was still very happy. She could still be neighbors with Brother Xiaofei after moving.
She couldn't help but ask, "What about your current house?"
Zhou Boyan said in surprise, "We also rented it. We aren't local. We came over because of Grandpa's work transfer."
Yue Yan felt sympathy for him. Brother Xiaofei's parents should not be around anymore since he was living with his grandparents. She had to be careful with her words in the future and not poke Brother Xiaofei's wound.
The matter of looking at the house was pending.
At the same time, colorful hair ties began to appear on the heads of the female students in Yue Yan's class.
Yue Yan handed the packaging box to Yun Cheng. "This is a thank-you gift for the eggs last time. I won't take other people's things for nothing. Bring it back to your mother."
Yun Cheng was curious. "Can I see what's inside?"
Yue Yan opened her textbook. "Go ahead. Remember to tell your Mom that you opened the packaging."
She specially chose two pieces of cloth that were more elegant to make a pair of hair ties and a headband. Their value was already comparable to two tea eggs.
A low voice came from behind. Yue Yan really did not intend to eavesdrop.
"What are you angry about? He's much better-looking than Cao Wenkai. You only see him!"
Wang Hecui was still sobbing softly.
She burped intermittently. "I just can't stand him being deceived. He likes Su Yu, who likes to put on an act. A headband costs two cents, but he gave it to her just like that…"
So Wang Hecui had a crush on the male protagonist? The original text actually didn't mention it.
