Li Siwen helped Zhou Wenjing sit on the sofa, then poured a glass of water and asked with concern: "Didn't it scare you?"
"I'm fine. You weren't hurt by the knife, were you?" Zhou Wenjing pulled Li Siwen and checked carefully.
"Don't worry, it's just a spring knife, it won't hurt me." Li Siwen flashed his biceps: "I have practiced before I met you."
"Bullshit, why didn't I hear you say that?" Zhou Wenjing rolled her eyes and complained: "We can't be impulsive in the future. We can't afford to offend people like Shi Bao. Even if we beat him away today, he will still be there in the future.
Will find trouble."
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare anymore, I've already warned him." Li Siwen said calmly.
Zhou Wenjing recalled Shi Bao's panic when he left. She seemed really frightened and asked curiously: "What on earth did you say to him?"
"It's just some cruel words. A gangster like him is very afraid of being scared." Li Siwen said lightly.
Zhou Wenjing was a little disbelieving, but she didn't ask any further questions. She just whispered, "I know you're different now, but it's not good to cause trouble. Sometimes I feel a little wronged and it's nothing."
Li Siwen knew that Zhou Wenjing was concerned about him, so he gently held the other person's hand and said softly: "Wenjing, I said, I will never let you suffer any grievance from now on. You are my bottom line."
Seeing Li Siwen's vow, Zhou Wenjing was indescribably moved, but the expression on her face was always filled with sadness.
"Wen Jing, are you worried?" Li Siwen noticed.
"I want to know... did you sell the house?" Zhou Wenjing tentatively added, "The people below said so."
Li Siwen was stunned. No wonder Shi Bao must have heard something about bringing Zhou Wenjing home.
"Zhao Jian is really loud." Li Siwen knew that it must be Zhao Jian who said this. He nodded and said, "The house was indeed sold."
"Really sold? Why?" Zhou Wenjing heard Li Siwen admit and tears fell instantly.
"Wen Jing, don't cry, aren't we just selling a house? Wouldn't it be better to buy a bigger house after a while?" Li Siwen quickly comforted her.
"Buy? Do you have money? Do you know how important this home is to me?" Zhou Wenjing's voice was trembling, and her tears could no longer be stopped.
Li Siwen was slightly shocked. He actually didn't take selling the house seriously. In his eyes, it was just a transaction. But looking at Zhou Wenjing's reaction, he understood that he was too naive.
For him, a house is a sale, but for Zhou Wenjing? The answer is obvious.
Li Siwen thought of this, hugged Zhou Wenjing into his arms, and explained seriously: "Wenjing, listen to me, now that Xiaoni is hospitalized and we can't pay for the surgery, selling the house is the fastest way.
"
"You mean you sold the house to pay for Xiaoni's surgery?" Zhou Wenjing was shocked.
"It is indeed to raise money for the operation fee, but after all, the house is relatively old and we can't find a buyer in a short period of time. And have you ever thought about it, even if you sell the house and raise enough money for the operation fee, we will cover the post-operative recovery fee."
Where can we get it? Xiaoni is only three years old. She has undergone such a major operation. We can't just consider the operation fee." Li Siwen explained seriously.
Zhou Wenjing nodded after hearing this: "It's not enough to just sell the house, but why do you want to sell it again?"
"To be precise, it's a change." Li Siwen said.
"Change?" Zhou Wenjing didn't understand even more.
"Yes, I exchanged my house for a ham processing factory." Li Siwen explained.
"What? Our shabby house can be exchanged for a ham sausage processing factory?" Zhou Wenjing couldn't believe it.
"It is a processing factory that is heavily in debt. I bear all the debts, so others are willing to exchange with me."
Hearing Li Siwen's words, Zhou Wenjing was stunned for several seconds, and asked nervously: "How much debt is there in total?"
She knew that the family could no longer afford any debt.
"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, I will make all the money back within a month, including Xiaoni's surgery fees. Trust me, just this time, okay?" Li Siwen raised his arms.
With a slight exertion, he gave the woman in his arms the last glimmer of hope.
Zhou Wenjing did not reply immediately, but was silent for a while before slowly uttering three words: "I believe you."
These three words were heavy, at least in Li Siwen's heart.
——
The next day, Li Siwen arrived at the processing factory early in the morning, and then arranged for Lin Shu and Chang Hai to borrow two pedal tricycles, hauled nearly a hundred boxes of ham and started rushing to the supermarket.
"I said to the boss, our supermarket basically doesn't accept ham sausages, so why send them there? They can't be sold at all." Lin Shu complained as he pedaled his three wheels.
"Don't underestimate these ham sausages, they are very valuable." Li Siwen said with a smile: "I exchanged the ham sausages for the materials used to renovate the processing plant."
"Should I say it, I really admire you. I haven't seen you pay a penny, and you have done a great job in this factory. It's just that everyone is like a headless fly, and they don't know what you want to do." Lin
Shu said doubtfully.
"You will know sooner or later." Li Siwen smiled mysteriously and asked, "How many supermarkets are there in Caozhou?"
"The most popular supermarket is called Guanyu. Although it is not large, it has three branches. The rest are some small supermarkets and grocery stores. We used to be in constant contact with about 80 stores," Lin Shu said.
"The place here is not big, and there are quite a few supermarkets." Li Siwen smiled.
"Now is the reform and opening up, everyone is striving to be well-off, and opening supermarkets has become a trend." Lin Shu said with a smile: "If you build this ham sausage processing factory, it is better to open a supermarket to make money."
"There are more than 30 provinces and more than 600 cities in the country. How much money can a supermarket make? If you want to open one, open one in every city." Li Siwen said casually.
"Boss, you are really ambitious! I can't even think about it." Lin Shu shook his head gently, feeling that Li Siwen was exaggerating again.
"Every successful businessman is a careerist." Li Siwen cleared his throat: "Stop talking nonsense and ride to the nearest supermarket. Today I will sell all the hams in my inventory."
"Dream on you!"
Lin Shu was not afraid of hitting Li Siwen at all, because he knew how bad the reputation of Fengshuo ham sausage was. Sure enough, a few minutes later, in front of a small supermarket of less than 100 square meters, the supermarket owner took a look at the label on the ham sausage and said.
"Fengshuo ham sausage? No, it's not easy to sell. Try it elsewhere." The boss didn't hide his disdain at all.
"No, let's talk about the price." Li Siwen quickly grabbed the boss and handed him a cigarette.
Chang Hai bought the cigarettes and paid for them.
"Brother, there's nothing to talk about. I really can't have Fengshuo ham, and I've heard a long time ago that this factory is about to close down." The supermarket owner said as he took the cigarette.
"What's the matter? The factory was just transferred. By the way, how much did Fengshuo sell you for before?" Li Siwen chatted.
"One dollar for two, we sell it for one dollar for four, which is a dime cheaper than other brands of ham sausage and no one buys it," the supermarket owner said.
"In this case, I won't talk nonsense to you, bamao, what do you want?" Li Siwen made a direct gesture of eight.
"Eight cents?" The boss was obviously stunned for a moment, and Lin Shu and Chang Hai were also stunned. After all, the price was too cheap.
"Yes, it's eight cents."
"Forget it, even if it's cheap, you can't make any money!"
"Seven cents."
"this……"
"Six cents."
"Six cents? I'll think about it."
"Fifty cents, don't think about it. You will definitely make money. My only requirement is to trade with me in cash."
