The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 63 (Part 2)

She didn't know how the business would be, as there were no hair perms in the county town. However, fashion spread like wildfire. If it became popular in the provincial capital, it would become popular here sooner or later. So, no matter how bad it was, it would not be so bad that she would lose all her money. She thought she should give it a try.

"Do you want to partner with me?" Ma Yuling looked at her and said.

Chen Rou: "...I don't have the time. I have two shops to look after."

"You don't have to go there, just invest the money. If you trust me, I will recruit people and manage the business, and you just wait for dividends. We'll split the remaining profit 50-50 after deducting the cost. I don't bother to do shady accounting, so you can rest assured." Ma Yuling said to her.

Chen Rou: ...I came here to give you some advice and comfort you, why did you bring up business?

"Go back and ask your police officer Chen first." Chen Rou said.

This person is very quick-witted and full of energy.

"Why ask him? I have made such a big sacrifice for him. If he dares to stop me from opening my own hair salon, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce him!" said Ma Yuling.

Chen Rou said tactfully, "I'm afraid I'm too busy to handle it. How embarrassing it would be to just invest money and not manage it?"

"Don't refuse. I just want to cooperate with you because you have such a good reputation. Let me tell you, it's really fashionable in the provincial capital. Last time, I just wanted to buy two nice sets of clothes, but seeing how popular it is in the city, I made one too. It will definitely become popular here too, so we don't have to worry about having no business then." Ma Yuling said.

"What reputation? You're probably afraid that the capital is too high and your Chen Gongan won't agree, so you want to find me as a partner." Chen Rou was a little moved by what she said and said.

She had also seen it on color TV, and it was indeed quite trendy.

"I have some concerns about this." Ma Yuling said, looking at her: "Then will you cooperate?"

"Can you do it? I see you have no experience in this area." Chen Rou said to her.

"Isn't experience gained through trial and error? Didn't you have no experience before you opened the shop? We don't have many, so we can just bring in one or two machines first and then see how the business goes. If the business is good, we can add more machines then." Ma Yuling said.

Chen Rou didn't know why the conversation ended up like this. She looked at her and said, "Then go find out first. Come back and tell me when you're done. You don't know anything yet."

"Okay." Ma Yuling didn't expect her to agree right away. She found her goal again and changed her previous listlessness. She said, "Sorry to bother you. I'll go back first."

Chen Rou then sent her out.

After a while, Han Guobin also came back. Amazingly, he said, "Wife, what did you tell her? As soon as she came back, she said she wanted to quit her job."

He was also talking to Chen Gongan, and Chen Gongan also expressed his intention, which was to ask his wife to quit her job, but his wife would definitely not agree, and this was the biggest point of conflict.

But I didn't expect that after he came to my house, he said he wanted to resign and not do that job anymore.

Chen Rou laughed and said, "Just wait and see, she's going to get bigger later." Although I've been a neighbor to Ma Yuling for such a long time, this is the first time I've known that she has such a personality.

Han Guobin looked confused.

"You don't need to understand these things between women." Chen Rou waved her hand.

Because Ma Yuling had already given in and quit her job, Chen Gongan did not hold a grudge against her. However, when he heard that his wife was determined to open a hair salon, Chen Gongan still frowned.

"This is a collaboration between me and Han Hang's mother. You know what kind of person she is. There's no one else with her character in this entire area. She's cooperating with me, so what are you worried about?" Ma Yuling teased him.

"Okay, okay, if you want to do it, just do it." Chen Gongan said.

"Go get me some footwashing water right now and wash my feet properly. I'm going to fight you about this matter. Otherwise, from today on, you'll go and sleep with your son!" said Ma Yuling.

What else could Chen Gongan, who had scratches on his face, say? This woman was very aggressive, so he could only get her a basin of foot-washing water to wash her feet and let her be his slave to vent her anger.

Ma Yuling has resigned and everyone is talking about it again. Some of the comments are really vicious. She cannot prove her innocence even after resigning and is directly accused of having a guilty conscience.

"If she was guilty, why didn't she quit all those years ago? Ma Yuling is acting uprightly. She only quit for the sake of Chen Gongan's reputation. Please stop spreading rumors." This is what Chen Rou said when she heard it.

In this residential area, Chen Rou and Ma Yuling's reputations can be said to be at two extremes.

Ma Yuling is not a good person, but Chen Rou is a good person. In the eyes of the older generation, she is a typical good wife and mother, and a daughter-in-law who brings prosperity to the family.

Of course, this situation has completely changed since this year.

Chen Rou also knew before that many people said that being a self-employed person was embarrassing for her husband.

But later on, such statements became less common, because it was not uncommon to see individual business owners setting up stalls in the streets and alleys.

Of course, the reason why Chen Rou’s reputation has become so good this year is because of the honor that the boss has fought for her.

This year, Principal Zhu came to visit us in person, and the eldest son’s reputation as a top student in the community became well-known.

What is the most valuable thing in this era? College students.

A child who can read is a good child, not to mention that Han Hang was able to ask the principal to visit the family in person. How bad can the parents be to raise such a child?

Thinking about how Chen Rou has been steady, gentle and low-key over the years, she didn't make it public when her son got first place in the county high school entrance exam last year, and she still didn't make it public when her son got first place in his grade in high school.

As a result, she was given the reputation of being a good mother who lives a low-key life, and after Han Guobin was laid off, she also followed her to open a shop and became known as the prosperous daughter-in-law of the family.

She is not the same type as Ma Yuling, who wears high heels, lipstick, a perm and red pants.

I just don’t know since when, but the neighbors around have seen Ma Yuling coming to their house from time to time.

Ma Yuling's perm shop opened in September when the children went back to school.

I don’t know how she poached people, but she brought back a hairdresser from the provincial capital, bought two hair machines, and found the store herself.

Just like she said before, Chen Rou only needs to invest the money and she will take care of the rest.

Following Chen Rou's suggestion, Ma Yuling distributed a lot of flyers, which were printed with celebrities' popular hairstyles and store addresses.

In the shop, there are posters of celebrities, all of whom are pretty, beautiful and elegant.

Moreover, the shop offers a 50% discount in the first three days of opening, so perming your hair is only half the price. Isn’t that why many young girls come to try it?

Ma Yuling herself is a trademark. She is a beauty with an oval face and good looks. With her fashionable outfit, she looks particularly trendy.

When people see it, they will want to try it. After one try, two tries, and then slowly more and more people will try it.

This is how Ma Yuling’s perm shop was opened.

In the first month, he took out half of the invested capital from Chen Rou and said, "50-50 split. You can look at the account book yourself. The money is divided."

"So many?" Chen Rou asked in surprise.

"It's okay. I'm going to open a clothing store later, specializing in selling red skirts, red pants, high heels and lipsticks. Do you want to join us?" Ma Yuling asked.

"You want to lead the fashion trend of our county by yourself." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Ma Yuling said: "If I were the only one wearing this, they would think I was wearing something weird. I'll ask all the beautiful women in the county to wear this and dress up. I don't think they can complain about it!"

"Okay, let's be partners. Bring me the account book with the capital. I'll pay sixty and you fourty." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"Just split it evenly." said Ma Yuling.

"I'm not in charge. You're the one who's busy. You take 60% of the profits and I'll take 40%. " Chen Rou said.

"Don't tell me this. It's because of you that I decided to do this." Ma Yuling said.

It was only after I decided to go out and do it that I realized that making money in business is not that difficult!

Of course the most important thing is that she earns much more than before. After adding it up, it is still more than three times her previous salary!
