The two of them went to talk to Liu Yong first. Chen Lishu also asked about the garlic seedlings. When she heard that they could be purchased for two cents a pound, Chen Lishu specially called her home.
"Mom, I asked you, garlic sprouts cost two cents a pound. Liu Yong said he doesn't like garlic sprouts. If you can grow bean sprouts, he will take them."
Wu Chunmei was immediately excited when she heard her words: "Lishu, the phone bill is too expensive. Mom knows and has hung up."
As Wu Chunmei said something anxiously, a busy tone suddenly came from the phone.
This was the first time she saw Wu Chunmei in a panic. Chen Lishu looked at the microphone and shook her head helplessly.
After coming out of the phone booth, Chen Lishu went home and started making "fake sleeves".
At noon, I put all the last thirty pieces of underwear into my satchel, thought about it and put on a set of fake collars and sleeves, and then walked towards the back of the department store.
"Sister Chen, how many underwear did you bring this time?"
Zhang Li was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the alley. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly took two steps to greet her.
"All sold out so quickly?"
Seeing her nodding, Chen Lishu was slightly surprised. It was only one day since the last thirty items.
"My family knew that I was selling underwear. Not only did they not tell me anything, they also gave me some extra money." Zhang Li's round cheeks were slightly red as she spoke, and her eyes were bright.
Chen Lishu was also happy for her to have such an open-minded parent: "I don't have that much on hand right now. There are thirty-six pieces in total. The next batch will probably be shipped in a week."
Zhang Li pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, Sister Chen, I'm not in a hurry, these will be enough for me to sell for a while."
It was about to take a vacation, and there was a final exam in the middle. She just needed to slow down, and she would be able to completely free up her time after the vacation.
After separating from Zhang Li, Chen Lishu went to the Materials Bureau again.
"Have you thought of any good ideas, sister?" Zhou Bin knew there must be good news when he saw her coming.
Sure enough, when Chen Lishu took out her suit combination, Zhou Bin's eyes lit up.
"Brother Zhou, we have been working together for such a long time, and I won't hide it from you. The cost of the fake collar including artificial fabrics is about one and a half yuan. I don't earn a penny from you, just to take away the quantity of the fake collar."
Chen Lishu said with a smile: "Of course, you can sell them individually if you want."
Zhou Bin looked at the 'fake sleeves' in his hand and couldn't help but admire Chen Lishu in his heart: "Sister, you are really amazing, you can think of all these things."
Chen Lishu smiled: "It's not me who is great, it's all thanks to the wisdom of the broad masses of the people."
"Fake sleeves" were popular for a period of time in the previous life. The times have forced people to make such nondescript things if they had extra money and cloth tickets in their hands.
Zhou Bin didn't quite understand what she meant, but it didn't affect his judgment. Such a combination would definitely be very popular once launched.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin immediately ordered a hundred sets.
After separating from Zhou Bin, Chen Lishu went straight home to do some work.
"Third sister-in-law, I made an appointment with Brother Liu that he would find someone to go to the village to pull pigs in the evening, so I took his car back."
In the evening, Gu Xingye came back from outside and talked to Chen Lishu.
Throughout the whole day, he sold almost all the grain collected at home, and he happened to be able to come back early to help collect grain if he had a ride.
…
At Chen Mancang's house, Zhang Chunhua and Mrs. Chen opened the door and listened outside from time to time. Seeing that there was no movement, they couldn't help but said to Chen Baozhu: "It's been two days since this report letter was sent out. Why is there still no news?"
"It was better to go to Zhang Changhe directly. Even if he is related to the Gu family, what if he dares not to do anything? We will report him as well."
Mrs. Chen curled her lips and said nonchalantly.
"Mom, if we tell the party secretary, wouldn't it be like ventilating the Gu family and my second uncle's family? Just wait patiently. When I went to deliver the letter, I watched the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau take the letter away. They have done this.
I can definitely manage it.”
This time he not only reported Chen Mandun and Chen Lishu, he also reported the Gu family. Who knew they were Chen Lishu's husband's family?
This time he will definitely make that bitch unable to stand up.
Mrs. Chen and Zhang Chunhua felt a little relieved after hearing what he said.
…
"Excuse me, is this the home of Secretary Zhang?"
Zhang Changhe looked at the two men who came in through the door. He knocked down the pipe and pot in his hand and stood up: "Who are you two?"
"Hello Party Secretary Zhang, here's what happened. Someone reported the villagers in your village..."
The handwriting on the letter was like that of a dog. The staff took it in their hands and read it carefully: "Chen Mandun and Gu Shoufu, someone reported that they did not sell the pigs to the purchasing station, but sold them to others privately.
."
Zhang Changhe's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm: "The two of them did raise pigs this year. I haven't heard of any reaction from them."
"If there is no reaction now, please take us there first. If it is indeed true, we will naturally deal with it how we should handle it."
"Okay, I'll take you there right now." Zhang Changhe agreed without hesitation: "It's a cold day, you two comrades, please wait for a while while I go put on a hat."
The two staff members nodded, and Zhang Changhe turned around before darkening his face. He didn't know who was looking for trouble for him.
"Old lady, where did you put my hat?" Zhang Changhe deliberately hid his hat under the quilt, stretched his neck and shouted towards the back room.
Soon Zhang Changhe's wife came out, and Zhang Changhe quickly approached her and whispered something in her ear. Watching his wife go out, he hesitated for a while before taking out the hat from under the quilt and putting it on his head.
"As people get older, their memory becomes less good. Let's leave now."
…
Zhang Changhe's wife hurried to Gu's house and quickly learned what Zhang Changhe said to her: "Brother, what do you think we should do about this? They will be here soon. You guys think of a way quickly. I still have to go."
Say something to the Chen family."
When everyone in the Gu family heard about this, they immediately panicked. Speculating is a crime. Normally, there is nothing in the village. At most, they can criticize and educate. But now it has alarmed the people in the town.
"Dad, what should we do? If someone finds out, will our whole family have to go to jail?" Liu Yue suddenly became anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"Dad, why don't we run away?" Gu Xingmin said with some fear, holding his youngest son in his arms.
"Where are you running? I don't want you at home anymore?" Gu Shoufu lectured him: "It's just an investigation. It hasn't reached the point where the police come to arrest people, so they should do whatever they want!"
Then Gu Shoufu began to instruct the women to go back to the house and quickly put away all the fabrics for work and other things that should not be seen.
"Don't worry, if this matter really needs to be investigated, I will be responsible for it. Since we were trying to make money, we had to think that sooner or later, this would happen."
