Chapter 8 I Found A Way to Make Money

Chapter 8 I found a way to make money

Wang Li knew everything about the Li Haitang family. If she had grown up in a family like this, she would have run away from home. Now that Deng Rui had the face to bring up the topic of filial piety, she sneered, "Deng Rui, you still have the face to say such things. Your aunt raised haitang just because she took a fancy to the three hundred yuan her mother gave her. My father said that three hundred yuan fifteen years ago was enough to build four or five houses. Your aunt's whole family relied on it. Begonia was blessed with a good life. After getting the money, we all know how your aunt treated haitang in Ping shan town.

Have you seen her wear a new dress? Are you wearing a new pair of shoes? She was wearing Li Ting's unwanted clothes. Look at the students in our class again. Is anyone wearing patched clothes? Only haitang is wearing it. "Then he pulled Li Haitang up and showed everyone the patches on her dress.

Seeing Deng Rui blushing with embarrassment, the angry Wang Li continued to expose, "All the housework in your aunt's house is done by haitang, and she and Li Ting mother and daughter come to play every day. People in Lee ka tsuen know everything that is unfair to her.

That's all. What's more, in order to force haitang to stop studying, your aunt forbade her from eating. She had not eaten lunch for five days in a row this week, and only ate half a bowl of porridge the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday. Yesterday, she was also suffering from heat stroke and fainted from hunger on the roadside. Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted person who sent her to the health center. Otherwise, no one would know if she died on the road. If she hadn't been forced to be cruel, would she have suddenly severed ties with their family for no reason?

After she moved out of the li family yesterday, she only took a few broken clothes and her textbooks with her. Your aunt didn't give her a penny for a grain of rice. Haitang also promised to return the tuition fees for six years of primary school and three years of junior high school to the li family and wrote the agreement in front of many people in Lee ka tsuen. A lot of people can testify to this certainty. Hmph, you still have the face to say it.

In my opinion, your aunt is the most heartless person in the world. Is it necessary to stay in such a home? Are you waiting to starve to death there? Why should such a foster mother be worthy of her filial piety? "

Deng Rui had no idea that there was something else involved. After all, she was still a teenager and had a thin skin. Being slapped in the face by her in public, she started crying out of grievance.

"I just can't bear to tell the truth, so you cry wrongly. You think about it. If you were a begonia, growing up in a family like that, you wouldn't have to cry every day." Wang Li glanced at her with disdain and sat back in the chair.

The other students obviously didn't know that there were so many things in it. Hearing Wang Li's loud voice, they immediately looked at Li Haitang with a little more sympathy.

Li Haitang's scalp felt numb as she looked at everyone. She was a 35 year old woman who was pitied by a bunch of little kids, and her arms were covered in goosebumps in the summer.

Seeing that Li Haitang was silent, wang li thought that she had opened her scar and comforted her, "Haitang, don't think too much. It was their family that went too far. There's nothing wrong with you."

Li Haitang's lips twitched slightly. Although this deskmate was hot-tempered, his mind was also delicate. It was nice to have such a friend here.

When the bell rang, miss yang came back. She found that the atmosphere in the class was a little abnormal and guessed that it had something to do with Li Haitang. After saying a few words to adjust the atmosphere, she began to open the textbook.

The feeling of going back to school was familiar and nostalgic. She threw away all the distractions in her head and opened her books to study hard.

The first two classes in the morning were chinese, which was not difficult for Li Haitang, who was a liberal arts student in her previous life. The third or fourth lesson is english, so it's not a problem either. Both I and the host like learning foreign languages very much. In her previous life, she had applied for a major in foreign languages and then worked as a translator. The job was well paid, and if she hadn't been dragged down by the best families, her life would have been very rich and easy.

Wang Li pushed her arm and reminded her, "Haitang, what are you thinking? The english teacher has seen you several times."

Li Haitang smiled awkwardly at her, then listened to the class seriously.

After the fourth class was over, it was time for lunch. Most of the students in the school put some rice in their own enamel cups and put it on the huge steamer in the school cafeteria. Then the aunts in the cafeteria cooked it. As for the lunch, they also brought their own pickles from home, and so on, in a small bowl or small glass bottle. The food was cold, but the rice was hot. Everyone mixed the cold food into the rice and ate it whole.

Li Haitang didn't bring any food with her today. After leaving Wang Li, she had to go to the school gate to greet the guard uncle and go out to eat.

Li Haitang randomly found a roadside stall to eat and walked around the town. He found that Ping shan town's economy was very depressed and it was hard to find a way to make money. As she passed a shop selling wool and clothes, she saw many colorful threads hanging on the shelves. Her mind flashed and a smile appeared on her lips. She said happily, "There's a way."

She walked into the shop and bought a dollar worth of colored thread before trotting back to school.

There was an hour and a half break at noon. Most of the boys would go to the playground to play basketball after lunch, and the girls would get together and chat in twos and threes. When Li Haitang returned to the classroom, only three or four students were reading, and the rest were still playing outside.

In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage. The mother of the headmaster taught her how to weave bracelets. She had not knitted anything for many years. Now, she was back in her old job and felt a little rusty. It took her a long time to remember how she felt.

It was only ten minutes before class started, and the students came back one after another. Li Haitang had already knitted three bracelets.

Wang Li came in with a few other students who were having a good time. She looked down at the table and thought she was reading. She said with a big grin, "Haitang, you are too serious. You should spend your lunch break reading and studying."

Li Haitang quietly put the things into the drawer and smiled at them. After everyone returned to their seats, she pulled Wang Li down and whispered, "Wang Li, I found a way to make money."

"What method?" Wang Li's eyes lit up when he heard that she had found a way to make money so quickly.

Li Haitang put the three bracelets she had knitted in the drawer into her hands and said in a brisk tone, "Look at this bracelet. I just knitted it at noon. Do you think it looks good? Can it be sold?"

The three bracelets had two solid colors, and the other one was a tricolor cross, which could be stretched and tightened. Wang Li fell in love with them at first sight, and her round eyes sparkled with joy. She nodded and said, "It's beautiful. It's so beautiful. It can definitely be sold. Haitang, you're so smart. You can weave such a bracelet. It's amazing."

Li Haitang touched her head. She really deserved the compliment. She said modestly, "I made it up when I was free."

Wang Li fondled the tricolored bracelet and said softly, "Haitang, I'm telling you, the bracelet you knitted is more beautiful than what my sister-in-law bought in the county. It can definitely be sold. The bracelet she bought is not as good as those two pure colors. It cost 20 cents. You can sell it for at least 30 cents a piece."

"Wang Li, I remember a relative of your sister-in-law's family who runs a shop in the county. Can you ask him if he takes this bracelet in the shop? If you accept it, then we can knit together and earn some living expenses this summer."

Wang Li recognized the meaning of her words and said in surprise, "Haitang, are you willing to teach me how to weave?"

Li Haitang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you are my good friend. I can't be stingy after helping me so much in the past. Besides, your grades are good. Maybe we can get into the same high school and continue to be alumni."

"Okay, let's work hard together and continue to be alumni." Wang Li said happily, then lowered his voice and said, "Haitang, these three bracelets. I'll take them back to my sister-in-law tonight. She's going to the county to deliver the goods tomorrow, so she can ask by the way."

Li Haitang said gratefully, "Okay, thank you."

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Wang Li patted her on the shoulder generously and put the three bracelets back into his bag.

In the afternoon, there were two physics classes, which were Li Haitang's weak subject, but with the foundation of her previous life, she quickly solved the mystery of the original owner. She had been reading physics books for more than three hours last night, but it was not in vain. Today, in class, the teacher explained the content very easily.

After physics class, school was over. After saying hello to Wang Li, she went to the office building to look for the dean, Mr. Yang.

As soon as she reached the main entrance of the office building, she met miss yang walking out of the building. She immediately shouted, "Hello, miss yang. I'm Li Haitang from class one, grade three. My class teacher, Mr. Tang, asked me to find you to take over the cleaning of the school."

Mr. Yang was about fifty years old. He was tall and serious. When he heard what she came for, he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Tang Hui has already told me. This month, master wu's job will be left to you. The areas you need to clean are the upper and lower corridors and staircases of two teaching buildings, as well as the large playground. You can clean it after school every day. Your monthly salary is twenty yuan."

Li Haitang said respectfully, "Yes."

"The brooms and dustpans are all in the storeroom on the first floor of the east teaching building. You can pick them up yourself from today on." Mr. Yang said with his hands behind his back.

"Okay." Li Haitang immediately turned around and ran back to the teaching building.

After an hour of cleaning up, Li Haitang broke out in a sweat, poured a basin of water into the well at the entrance of the canteen, washed it, and then went back to the classroom to pick up his schoolbag and left the school quickly.

She bought half a kilo of meat and a big stick of bone at the roadside stall, as well as some vegetables such as cucumbers and eggplants. After spending two yuan, she said to herself, "The money in this era is really valuable. A piece of meat costs twenty cents a kilo, a big stick of bone costs ten cents a kilo, and vegetables only cost two to three cents a kilo. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed that in more than 20 years, this big stick would have cost as much as meat."
