"I'm sad for Brother Xiaofei, but I thought about it again. What if Brother Xiaofei's parents worked hard to earn money to treat his illness?"
Wen Hongyu patted her daughter's shoulder. "Don't worry. Xiaofei will definitely be fine. By the way, Yueyue, your eldest aunt wants to start a hair tie business. She even asked me about it. I said that you don't want to do it anymore."
Yue Yan did not care about this at all. Anyway, there were knockoffs everywhere. "If she wants to do it, so be it. But isn't Eldest Aunt pregnant?"
Wen Hongyu: "She is. She might even be carrying twins. She's idle at home all day, so she wants to earn some pocket money."
Yue Yan did not forget to remind her, "If Mom has a good relationship with her, you can teach her how to make it. You know the production method, but it's impossible to make a huge profit now."
Wen Hongyu nodded. "Although your uncles didn't like your father in the past, they give you red packets every year."
Yue Yan was surprised. "Why didn't I know about that?"
Wen Hongyu smiled. "Because Mom helped you put it away. You're still young. I'm afraid you'll spend it recklessly."
Alright, so it had been confiscated by the adults. All the adults in the world were the same. What a sweet worry.
Yue Yan did not mind her red packet money being confiscated. "It's still fine to sell hair ties to earn some pocket money."
After saying that, she patted the butt of the puppy in her arms. "I'll name you Little Black." Little Black stuck out its tongue and licked her finger foolishly. Yue Yan smiled and dodged it.
Good people will be blessed by the heavens. Brother Xiaofei would definitely be fine.
The next day, the sky cleared after the rain. Yue Yan had to take a detour and then take a bus to school.
Even so, she was almost late.
The moment she entered the classroom, she attracted many gazes. It was mainly because she was usually very low-key and did not take the initiative to make friends. She would always be asked questions by the teachers in class, so everyone was very curious about her.
However, today, her classmates realized that this low-key girl was actually quite good-looking because she entered the classroom at the sound of the bell.
Yun Cheng made way for her. "Why are you late today?"
Yue Yan frowned. "I just moved house. The place is a little far from the school and the bus is so slow."
She might as well just run over by herself.
Her new home was an hour's walk from school and 20 minutes by bicycle.
Bicycles were luxury goods, but they could still be bought.
It was just that this bicycle was a little ugly. Compared to the bicycles in the future, there was a bar across it. Yue Yan felt that she might not be able to ride it.
Yun Cheng nodded slowly. "Oh, your house was rented, right?"
Yue Yan took out her textbook. "Yes, the landlady felt that my family had earned some money, so she chased us out."
Yun Cheng was shocked. "Wow, this is too much!"
Yue Yan had already started memorizing the textbook.
"By the way, my mother likes the things you gave her very much. She asked where you bought them. She wants to buy a few more."
Yue Yan turned around. "I made them myself. You can't get them outside. Even if you bought them, they're pirated."
Seeing Yun Cheng's disappointment, she continued, "But my Eldest Aunt wants to sell them. The craftsmanship is the same, and the quality is definitely better than those on the market. Tell me what style your mother wants when the time comes."
Yun Cheng pretended to hold his heart. "My dear deskmate, thank you so much!"
"I take it that you're thanking me if you don't talk to me during self-study and class."
Yun Cheng frowned. "You're making things too difficult for me."
Yue Yan smiled.
On the other side, Su Yu looked in Yue Yan's direction.
For some reason, she wanted to make friends with that girl, but she never left her seat, and she did not want to provoke the few people behind her.
***
When Yue Yan returned home from school in the afternoon, Yue Huaide had already tidied up the house. He bought some things according to Yue Yan's instructions and personally went to thank the neighbors who spoke up for them yesterday.
He did not expect such a move would make the people who received his gifts not only helped to clarify the truth, but also exposed Auntie Wang's bullying of her tenants when she was spreading rumors about their family.
Zhou Boyan had yet to wake up today, but his temperature was not as hot as yesterday. Grandma Zhou was at home, and Grandpa Zhou had gone to work again.
Yue Yan brought her homework to the Zhou Family to complete. After she was done, she stayed for a while and changed Zhou Boyan's towel a few times before bringing Little Black home.
Little Black's brother wanted to follow her, but Grandma Zhou pulled him into her arms when he went out. She rubbed her nose against the puppy in her arms.
"Little sweetheart, you still want to run to someone else's house?"
The silly Little Black had no idea that his brother had been captured and brought home.
Yue Yan's bingfen was successfully made and Yue Huaide finished two bowls in one go.
He could not help but praise her after eating. "This thing is good. My stomach feels cooler when I eat it in summer."
"Right, Dad? As long as you think it's delicious, you can learn how to make it from me."
Yue Huaide's jaw dropped. "What? I'm making it too?"
Yue Yan said matter-of-factly, "That's right. Dad, don't you want to do business? Let's do catering."
Yue Huaide was shocked. His daughter was simply too amazing. He was useless as her father.
"No, Yueyue. Have you thought of what you want to do?"
"Yes. I've already planned it. Otherwise, why won't I let you ride the tricycle? Are we going to rely on Mommy to earn money to support our family?"
Yue Huaide was speechless. His daughter was simply too amazing. Before he could think of what to do, his daughter had already started to carry out her plan.
He smiled foolishly. "Dad will learn how to make bingfen from you. I think we can earn a lot of money just by selling this."
Yue Yan shook her head. "We won't last long if we only have one product. Besides, who would be willing to eat this in winter?"
"Then what should we do?"
Yue Yan smiled mysteriously. "Dad, look forward to it first."
Yue Huaide never thought that this bingfen was made by hand.
"Yueyue, this thing shouldn't have been learned, right?"
Yue Yan thought for a while. "Unless you're an expert who has traveled extensively, ordinary people can't learn it."
Who would know that this was made from Chinese medicinal herbs!
"That's good. Our hair tie business is a pity. That bunch of despicable people did such immoral things!"
Yue Yan poured a bowl of bingfen for her father to calm down. "There will be many such things in the future. As long as we do business, we can't avoid being imitated. Let's do our best. Our quality will definitely be strictly checked and our reputation will be maintained. The customers are not stupid."
Yue Huaide nodded heavily. "You're right. Dad still suffered from being uncultured."
At the thought of this, Yue Yan probed, "Dad, do you want to learn how to read?"
Her father would indeed suffer if he could not read when running a business.
