The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 86 (Part 2)

Then, when he needed school supplies or an eraser, he would ask Chen Rou for money, and Chen Rou would often spank him.

Chen Rou also taught her children financial management skills to a certain extent. The second child received ten yuan in pocket money every month, Orange girl received eight yuan, and the fourth child originally received only three yuan, but because of a pay raise for washing dishes, it was increased to six yuan.

As for the New Year’s money they receive, they can manage it as they please.

Especially the New Year’s money, that’s quite a lot.

For example, last year the fourth child bought an especially large house and gave each person a red envelope of fifty yuan.

Lao Yang was not stingy either, charging twenty yuan per person.

The same goes for Ma Yuling. The money she gets for the New Year at home and her parents' side adds up to about 100 or 200 yuan every month.

Of course, because of the one or two hundred yuan New Year’s money, there was no pocket money in the first half of the year, only in the second half of the year.

But everyone has his own little treasury, except the fourth one.

You can imagine how poor we were in the summer, we couldn’t even afford ice cream.

After Chen Rou finished her work at the steamed bun shop, she came to the grocery store to help Han Guobin.

Han Guobin took advantage of the fact that no one was around and hugged his wife and asked her if her legs felt a little weak when she woke up this morning because she had asked him to carry them for most of the night.

Chen Rou pinched him, what a shame!

Han Guobin grinned, leaned forward and kissed her. Chen Rou quickly looked outside, seeing that there was no one around, then she warned him not to mess around.

No matter whether it was the days here or the days with Chen Sijie, they were all warm and flowing. The pace of life was actually quite slow, but Chen Rou enjoyed it very much.

At this time of year, it's time to be busy.

Li Dayuan came to Han Guobin specifically and asked him to give him more grain as he didn't have enough to sell.

Although Han Guobin was very disappointed with him, he was not vague about this and agreed to his request. Not only Li Dayuan, but also Han Guoli and Song Xiaoyu's respective shops wanted to increase the supply of goods because some of the goods were indeed in short supply.

Han Guobin had no objection and increased them all.

With the increase in goods, business naturally improved, and even Song Xiaoyu had a look of joy on her face.

Since coming to the city, Han's father and mother have found places to make use of their remaining energy, one helping out at their son's meat stall, and the other helping out at their daughter-in-law's grocery store.

Song Xiaoyu was counting the accounts that day. Although he was happy that the profit had increased this month, he also felt a little sigh.

"What's wrong?" asked Han's mother.

"My second brother has raised the price of grain by three cents this year. The prices of soybean oil and peanut oil have also increased," said Song Xiaoyu.

Han's mother asked about the price. She had never asked these questions in such a long time since she came to the city. But this time, when she heard that the price had increased, she decided to ask.

When asked this question, Han's mother's eyes widened. She knew that she could make some profit by transporting the rice to the city to sell it, but no matter how much she made, the wholesale price for her family was too high!

I only make two cents from one pound of grain!

Han's mother said, "I'll go find the second son. He's made a lot of money from skinning people this week, and he doesn't feel guilty about it!"

Song Xiaoyu really wanted to ask her mother-in-law to go over and talk, so she pretended to stop her, and then pretended not to see her mother-in-law going over and did not stop her.

Han's mother came to the grocery store to look for Han Guobin. Chen Rou was there too. The couple was busy before she came. The reason why others underestimated the wealth of Han Guobin, the big boss, was not only because they didn't know about his family in the provincial capital, but also because they knew about the oil press factory that cooperated with his third uncle.

What's more, there is the way he deals with people. How could a big boss who makes so much money come to this small shop and be so busy?

If you really want to make that much money, people will not care about it.

"Second brother, come here." Han's mother said as soon as she came over.

Han Guobin also found time to come over. He was busy, so he didn't waste any words and got straight to the point, "Mom, what do you want?"

"You have raised the price of the goods in your third brother's wife's shop?" Han's mother asked directly.

"Mom, I'm busy now. You can bring dad, the third brother, and my third sister-in-law to our house tonight to discuss this matter. I don't have time to talk to you about this now. You can go back and help my third sister-in-law." After Han Guobin said this, he turned around and went back to the shop to help weigh the grain and help the customers tie up their bicycles.

Seeing that he was so disrespectful to her, Han's mother was also angry and wanted to lose her temper, but since she was really busy here, she had no choice but to come back.

Song Xiaoyu asked, "Mom, I just glanced at you and you ran to find my second brother. My second sister-in-law must be unhappy."

"I don't care whether she is happy or not, but I'm busy over there and don't have time. I'll go over and talk to the second child tonight!" said Han's mother.

Song Xiaoyu didn't go over that night. Han's father and mother brought Han Guolin over instead.

Han Guolin smiled and said, "Second brother, I see you have so many tractors, how much cargo can you transport? Can you lend me one to harvest sheep at the end of the year?"

Han Guobin now owns four trucks, which are specially used for long-distance travel. At the same time, the goods from Ma Yuling and Chen Rou's shops are also transported by trucks.

You can choose whatever kind of Ma Yuling you want, and then have the truck bring it back when you are done.

This is for traveling between the provincial capital and the county town, and not many people know about it.

But here in the county, Han Guobin usually uses tractors. He has five tractors in total.

One tractor is used by Brother Chen San, plus Brother Chen San’s two tractors, a total of three tractors are used to transport goods.

There is also a car specifically used to deliver furniture and appliances to guests.

The remaining three vehicles are used to transport food and other supplies. They are used to transport food during the harvest season, and to help people transport bricks, stones, tiles, coal, etc. during their spare time.

In short, it is all about making money and won’t be left to rust.

And this is Han Guobin’s big item at the moment.

Han Guobin said, "I can lend it to you to collect sheep, but you still have to pay for the car and the gas."

"That's no problem." Han Guolin nodded, that's for sure.

"Are you going to explain everything to your brother in such detail?" Han's mother said after hearing this.

"This is called brothers settling accounts clearly, just like my father and my second uncle and third uncle also settled accounts clearly." Chen Rou laughed and said.

"Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak here?" Han's mother asked directly.

Han Guobin's face darkened, and Han Guolin was immediately embarrassed and asked hurriedly, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Father Han also said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!"

"I can't even say a word now, right?" Han's mother shouted.

"If an old lady like my grandma lived in ancient times, she would definitely be the kind of mean and harsh mother-in-law who would mistreat her daughter-in-law to death." said the fourth child.

"You little bastard, what did you say?" Han's mother said immediately.

"Uncle San, please take my grandma back quickly. Look at her appearance. Even a weasel looks prettier than her. Take her back, take her back." The fourth little uncle waved his hand.

"You little brat, how can you talk to your grandma like that?" Chen Rou frowned.

"Then I can't let her bully my mother. Don't you see how old she is? She is still so irritable and easily angered. This is my mother. If it were my fourth aunt, she would just sweep her out with a broom." The fourth child pouted and said, "She didn't let my mother speak on my territory. Even the county magistrate wouldn't dare to say that!"

After he finished speaking, he saw his mother looking for a bamboo stick to beat him. Without saying a word, he said, "Mom, I'm going to sleep at my Aunt Ling's house tonight. No need to leave the door open for me." Then he immediately went to his Aunt Ling's house next door to watch TV.

By the way, I complained to his Aunt Ling.

Ma Yuling asked him to watch TV with his uncle and sleep in his brother Chen Bing's room tonight. She originally wanted to come over, but gave up after thinking about it.

After all, she was Han Guobin's biological mother, so she didn't want to go over to avoid embarrassing Chen Rou.

Chen Rou didn't say anything in the room. She just let Han Guobin talk and listened.

Han Guobin looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, are you so angry tonight because I raised the price for my third brother's wife's shop?"

"What?" Han Guolin still didn't know why he came here tonight. He thought his mother wanted to come over and sit with him, so she brought him here.

"I've never seen anyone like you. You act nicely on the surface, saying you're taking care of your family, but you're actually just a scoundrel. You only make 2 cents on a pound of grain, 2 cents on 10 pounds of grain, and 20 cents on 100 pounds of grain. You sell over a thousand pounds of grain a day, and you only make 2 dollars!" Han's mother glared at him and said, "I know exactly what you buy at in the village. You're making so much money from Guoli and Xiaoyu. I feel guilty for you even if you're not!"

"Third brother, why don't you ask your wife to buy the goods from somewhere else. I'm not the only one doing this in the county now. From tomorrow on, I won't let anyone deliver the goods over. We'll settle the bill later." Han Guobin said to Han Guolin.

"Second brother, are you threatening third brother?" Han's mother said angrily.

"Mom, please stop talking. I beg you, okay?" Han Guolin said, and then hurriedly said to his second brother, "Second brother, it's not like that. Don't pay attention to what mom said. She is just an ignorant old lady!"

"How would mother understand all this? It must be my third sister-in-law who is dissatisfied. You go back and tell her to buy the goods somewhere else. This is the purchase price I gave you. It cannot be lowered." Han Guobin said.

The profit of grain was originally very low, and it relied on small profits and quick turnover, with a profit of only 2 cents per pound. However, this was based on the fact that he delivered the grain to the door for sale.

During this period, does he need to consider his own labor costs and shipping costs?

Deliver the things to her door and let her sell them. People won't buy food by the pound or two. The minimum amount they buy is five or ten pounds. It's not uncommon for people to come and take two or three bags of food away.

In a day, it is not uncommon to sell one or two thousand kilograms of grain alone, and sometimes even several thousand kilograms can be sold.

Besides that, there is also the profit from oil.

Han Guobin has looked at the account books there and found that the monthly income from grain is about 140 to 150 yuan, which means that on average more than 2,000 kilograms of grain can be sold every day.

If we add in the income from peanut oil and soybean oil, the monthly income is stable at more than 300 yuan, not including the soy sauce and vinegar that Han Guolin gets.
