Chapter 2236
Because of a potted flower
On the contrary, people like Yu Shui, who often complain about their older brothers in front of the younger generation, actually have genuine feelings for their older brothers that are beyond doubt.
“My father often says that he shouldn’t have been so good to you after my grandfather passed away.”
He said he felt really bad for my uncle. He Yuan also chimed in, echoing Yu Shui's tone, and added fuel to the fire for He Yuzhu.
The key point is that He Yuzhu really said something similar.
Now the rain wouldn't stop, and it immediately stuck its neck out and shouted, "Why is he saying that about me?"
It's only natural that he treats me well.
He's my own brother. If he's not good to me, who else would he be good to?
Besides, I also went to a vocational high school.
"He only dropped out of junior high school, what right does he have to call me useless?"... She was the one who called herself useless, but when she heard He Yuzhu say the same thing, she became dissatisfied again.
This is the temper of a spoiled woman.
Of course, she could always control this temper at will.
When He Yuzhu brought chicken soup that evening, Yushui, with a beaming smile, stood beside him, only to make things worse.
She was even more diligent than usual, as if she was trying to change He Yuzhu's impression of her through her performance.
The He family's current focus is on He Yuan.
The whole family doted on her.
Even He Daqing, although no one assigned him any work.
However, he took over the task of making soup for his granddaughter.
He Yuzhu or Xiao Song only need to go and pick it up at the designated time each day.
"If you want soup, go to Dad's."
"This is for Yuanyuan." He Yuzhu couldn't help but tease her, noticing the raindrops constantly sticking to his side.
"How could that be?"
I have something to discuss with you, brother, and Yuanyuan.
There are dozens of clivia plants in front of Yuanyuan's house. Someone is willing to pay 20 yuan per pot to buy them, but Yuanyuan can't take care of them all now.
How about we cash out those things?
"Yuanyuan, what do you think?" These words were truly something He Yushui came up with on the spur of the moment.
She shouted the last sentence into the bedroom.
Didn't her brother say she was useless?
Then she should do something worthwhile to earn He Yuzhu's respect.
The key point is that their colleagues had actually heard of people paying high prices to buy these things when they were chatting.
He Yuzhu looked at her seriously, which puzzled Yushui.
He frowned and said seriously, "You got involved?"
Rain quickly waved his hand in denial, saying, "I can't even take care of myself, let alone take care of flowers, brother, you're overestimating me."
He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but the seriousness on his face did not disappear. He continued solemnly, "Don't get involved in this. In the end, it's definitely a scam."
If others want to make this thing, don't interfere.
·····”
He Yuzhu's words were a brother's concern for his younger sister.
"No, I definitely won't get involved."
But there are indeed people who buy these at the pigeon market outside Deshengmen.
Whether it's a scam or not, we never intended to scam anyone.
Why not take advantage of the high value and cash it out?
"A pot of flowers costs twenty or thirty yuan. How many chickens could that buy for Yuanyuan?" Yu Shui categorically denied the possibility of her involvement, but then tried to persuade her.
In the old city of Beijing, the season isn't good, so there aren't many people growing these things to begin with.
In addition, with the storms just passed, those with leisure and refined tastes are still hesitant to engage in this activity.
Even Yan Bugui doesn't seem to care much for the flowers in the flowerpots at his door anymore.
As mentioned earlier, the government now has communes specifically dedicated to operating this.
The reason why Clivia thrives in the Northeast is because the environment there is difficult to sustain these green plants.
Just like the green plants in the North and South in later generations, what Northerners treasure is seen by Southerners as something that can be found everywhere, in green belts, stinking ditches, and next to toilets. "Dad, I think my aunt is right."
I definitely won't have time to take care of it.
"My mom doesn't have one either." He Yuan shouted from the bedroom.
"Alright, you guys figure out how to handle it."
However, you are not allowed to show yourselves. Once you have the money, you can buy yourselves some clothes.
"Your sister-in-law and I don't care about these things." He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Since there are people buying pigeons in the market now, why should he pretend to be so high and mighty?
Placing dozens of potted plants in the greenhouse by the door might cause trouble for his daughter's family.
Although the security around Xiao Song's house is better than his, what if it gets targeted by thieves?
It's better to get rid of it; at least the women in the family will be happy with the unexpected windfall.
"Alright!" Yu Shui jumped three feet high, and almost dropped the bowl she was holding.
····
The next evening, Yan Jiekuang actually went to his older brother's house.
However, he did not mention to his older brother and sister-in-law that he would help out at the restaurant.
He knew his own personality and could guess what his older brother was thinking.
It was already quite kind of Yan Jiecheng and his wife to help him take care of his wife and children while he was fleeing Beijing.
He was hoping that his older brother could share some of the profits from his business with him.
Putting myself in Yan Jiekuang's shoes, I knew there was no way he would agree to that.
Why force others to do something you yourself would never agree to? Why make yourself look foolish?
Besides, he recently discovered a way to make money.
On the train back to Beijing, he met several people from outside the Great Wall who were on business trips to the south.
One of them was holding a potted clivia plant, treating it like a precious treasure.
She won't let anyone touch her.
After some discussion, Yan Jiekuang finally understood the trick.
A city outside the Great Wall has designated this flower as its city flower, and it is considered the best gift to give to foreign businessmen.
It is said that some high-quality orchids there have already sold for several hundred to several thousand yuan.
The key point is that this is their family's original business.
Before the liberation, his parents made a living by running a flower stall.
If he were to do this business, it would be a piece of cake for him.
Yan Jiekuang plans to take some time to visit the flower market in that city outside the Great Wall.
If it's really that popular
He might just have to persuade his parents to come back to the business and help him acquire those rare orchid varieties.
In Yan Jiekuang's mind, this was the blue ocean market he had discovered.
If done well, he could earn several thousand or tens of thousands.
By then, what kind of good woman wouldn't he be able to find?
Why bother arguing with his sister-in-law over a few dollars or cents a day?
Many things can be described as coincidences.
They are clearly unrelated people from two different families, and they would never have any contact with each other under normal circumstances.
But because of one small thing, they got entangled again.
Not only Yan Jiekuang, but also Xiao Lan, have recently set their sights on orchids.
Their thoughts were similar to Yan Jiekuang's.
They were all planning to go to the area outside the Great Wall to conduct an on-site inspection, and then make a fortune from it.
The only difference is the channel through which they obtain information.
Xiao Lan heard the news from Xiao Fang.
The first thing he thought of when he heard the news was tulips from abroad.
He knew perfectly well that this was a game of musical chairs, but that didn't mean he didn't want to profit from it. (End of Chapter)
