Chapter 833 60 Yaozu's Sister, the Control Group (Extra Chapter 2)
The Hong Kong businessman was very grateful. He not only gave him a sum of money, but also wanted to hire him as a bodyguard. However, he refused, because he wanted to be his own boss and didn't want to be someone else's henchman.
The title "bodyguard" sounds nice, but isn't it just about following someone around as a henchman? Besides, he still has to go back to his hometown.
Seeing that he was unwilling, the other party did not force him and gave him more money as a way of repaying the favor.
The other party gave him five thousand yuan, which was a huge sum of money at the time. He immediately started purchasing goods and then shipped them back to Northeast China.
He brought over a thousand yuan with him from home, which was his and his wife's savings of many years. More than seven hundred yuan was stolen on the train, and they spent another two or three hundred yuan on food, drink, and lodging. In addition, they only had a little over nine hundred yuan left. Originally, he planned to buy some cheap clothes to sell back home, but now it's good that he can buy more small appliances and electronic watches.
Instead of going back to his hometown to open a shop, he first rented a relatively remote house in the city to set up a stall and sold his wares, which actually made him a quick fortune.
He sold his products in the city for half a year, and before the Chinese New Year, he returned home with more than 20,000 yuan. He then bought a shop on the street and opened an appliance store. After trying it out, he found that the profit margin of appliances was higher, and he didn't need to keep changing his products to keep up with the latest trends.
At first, he asked Sister Xiao to help him look after the shop, but he had many children at home, and his daughter was still young at the time, so he couldn't manage it all.
But he didn't want his brothers to get involved. After all, they had already separated and each had their own small family. It was better to keep things separate. If they were all mixed up, things would get complicated later.
After that, they simply hired two people, and had Xiao Laidi go over to check on things from time to time, and collect the money every day.
Anyway, all those items are clearly priced. As long as the price matches, if those two people can sell them at a higher price, then making a profit from the difference is their ability, and it can be considered a commission.
Then he would travel back and forth to buy the goods, since the journey was long, spanning the entire country, and he would spend two or three months a year just on the road.
Because the shop is located at her home, and the money earned is in Xiao Erjie's hands, she will transfer the money to Yang Yongle when it's time to restock. However, the profit is retained, so Xiao Erjie doesn't think much about it when people are absent from her consciousness sometimes.
Until 1987, their youngest daughter, Yang Qian, bumped her head at school. The town's health center didn't have the equipment to examine her and was worried that the brain injury might have delayed treatment, so they suggested that Xiao Erjie go to the county—no, it's now the city; the former commune is now the county seat.
Sister Xiao panicked and quickly called Xiao Yun, who was in the city. It was hard to explain over the phone, and Xiao Yun was also afraid that something might have really happened to the girl, so he drove back himself to pick her up.
I only remembered to call the child's father after I got to the hospital, but a woman answered the phone!
For convenience, Yang Yongle rented a warehouse and living quarters together there, but he didn't install a landline phone, since there weren't always people there. He bought a mobile phone later, which he usually carried with him. A woman answered the phone, and she spoke in the local dialect.
Xiao Laidi couldn't understand. At first, she thought she had dialed the wrong number. She hung up and dialed again, but she was the one who answered the phone. Even if she was stupid, she would know by now that the other party had her man's phone.
The voice was very charming, and it sounded like it belonged to a young woman. Xiao Laidi's woman's intuition told her that something was wrong.
Don't even mention that the warehouse over there doesn't employ many people. Even if they did, they would hire men to load and unload goods, so why would there be women there?
Xiao Laidi has always been a clever woman. She didn't say that she was Yang Yongle's wife, but that she was his mother and that there was an emergency at home that required her to come back.
The woman actually called him "Mom" right away and said she was Yang Yongle's wife. She said they had already registered their marriage, but because the company there was just starting out, they hadn't had time to visit. Yang Yongle was planning to pick them up when he came back this time to attend their wedding.
Xiao Laidi was completely bewildered by what she had just witnessed. She didn't even know when the other person hung up the phone until someone at the public phone reminded her.
She walked back to her daughter's hospital room and pulled Xiao Yun aside to recount their previous conversation.
Over the years, every time she went back to her parents' home for a gathering or talked on the phone, Xiao Yun would brainwash her, telling her how a woman should deal with a man who has an affair.
At the time, she and her sisters just took it as a joke and didn't think much of it. After all, Xiao Yun was divorced and had made a fortune from her ex-husband. Back then, 400 yuan could build two houses.
They thought she was bragging about her great achievements, so they listened and offered some compliments. Little did they know that they had actually met her, and that she had already gotten her marriage certificate!
She never seemed to have thought about getting a marriage certificate with Yang Yongle, mainly because everyone around her was doing it, and she hadn't even considered it. But what could she do now? They were a legally married couple with a marriage certificate, so what was she? What about their four children?
She was a little lost and her first thought was to ask her third sister to help her, and if that didn't work, she would ask her third sister's husband to stand up for her. She absolutely couldn't let that bastard get away with it!
Xiao Yun: "Do you still want to be with him?"
Xiao Laidi: "He already has an outsider, so I definitely don't want to live with him anymore. But wouldn't it be too easy for them if I just slunk away like this?"
Besides, I have four children. If they stayed with me, I wouldn't know how to raise them. I also don't feel comfortable leaving them with him; he'll definitely have more children in the future, and then my four kids will be left to fend for themselves.
Xiao Yun frowned and interrupted her, "You have a shop and money, how can you not support four children? Besides, the children are all in school now, so you don't have to take care of them anymore. Furthermore, their father isn't dead, he still has to bear the responsibilities he should bear, and he is the one at fault. Not only can you skin him alive during the divorce, but he also has to pay child support regularly."
"Divorce? We didn't even get a marriage certificate. In other places, only those with a certificate are legally married. I heard from the villagers that only with a certificate are you officially recognized by the state. How could I have been so stupid? I thought you and your brother-in-law getting that marriage certificate was pointless and just asking for trouble. Now look what's happened, my children and I have no security at all!"
Xiao Yun stared at her speechlessly: "Who told you that there is no guarantee without a marriage certificate? Not to mention here, there are many people all over the country who don't have a certificate. They are all nameless and have no status."
The new Marriage Law was promulgated last March, recognizing common-law marriage. Do you know what common-law marriage is? It means that as long as a wedding banquet is held or couples live together as husband and wife, it is considered a common-law marriage and is protected by law.
So even if he's registered his marriage, his marriage with you isn't over. Under criminal law, that's bigamy, and if you sue him, he could be imprisoned. A few years ago, if it were just for indecent assault, he could have been executed!
These words startled Xiao Laidi, who waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious. Actually, I had a feeling that he hadn't been coming back often. Which man doesn't cheat? I'm not bad, at least he's not around to let me watch."
Our neighbor, that guy with the scarred neck, openly flirts with Wang Hao's wife in the village. He always gives her money and gifts, and his wife can't do anything about it.
Later, in order to get revenge on him, Wang Hao simply went to his house and had an affair with his wife. Now everyone knows that the two families are living together as one family.
And those women in our village, they're all messy in private too, which makes our man seem a bit abnormal. Actually, if he only had one mistress outside, I wouldn't be so worried. But he got a marriage certificate with someone else, so now that you've said that, I feel more confident.
Since he's already registered his marriage over there, he obviously doesn't want us anymore. In that case, let's just pay him off and settle things quietly. It'll only delay me from finding someone else."
