Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1392 Lazy Wife 9
After the house was ready, Linlang thought that no one would come to rent it today. After all, the advertisement had just been sent out, and it was normal that no one saw it. She planned to come again tomorrow. However, when she was about to leave, a young man came to rent the house and said that he was working on a construction site nearby.

Linlang asked the man a few words and saw that he had no problem, so the two of them agreed on a monthly rent of four dollars and fifty cents.

This is almost the lowest price in the neighborhood. A house of the same size and well-renovated as this one costs five or six dollars a month. A house that is as shabby as this one and bigger than this one also costs five or six dollars a month. There are also houses that are cheaper than this one, but they are generally farther away, making it inconvenient for him to go to work. Houses that are the same size and equally shabby as this one and are about the same distance away also cost this price, but the furniture in the Linlang house is more complete, so the man rented the Linlang house.

After paying one third of the deposit, Linlang soon got eighteen yuan. At that time, the purchasing power of eighteen yuan was not low.

Linlang immediately bought a fish and took it back.

Fish is cheap and no meat ticket is required. This fish weighs two kilograms and only costs one dollar. Linlang is rich now and doesn't want to suffer too much, so she takes a fish back.

There was no need to worry about Chen's mother asking her where she saved the money and where she got the money to buy fish. Linlang had cut her hair before and sold it for two dollars, so it made sense to use one dollar to buy fish.

Sure enough, after returning, she said that she cut her hair and sold it for two dollars, and then used the one dollar to buy a fish, and no one doubted it.

At the same time, the sisters-in-law at home who complained that she did not do anything today, now saw her bring back fish, and they didn't say anything. As long as she could bring back good things every day, they didn't care whether she did anything or not. After all, this was equivalent to paying living expenses for the family, so it was okay for her not to do anything.

After dinner, Linlang went into her and Chen Lei's house and told Chen Lei that she had rented out the house today for four dollars and fifty cents a month, which would make fifty-four dollars a year.

Chen Lei was delighted when he heard this and said, "This is more than what you can get from a bank deposit, and you can receive it every month, unlike a five-year deposit in a bank where you can only get the interest after five years."

Now, Chen Lei felt that buying a house was more cost-effective than depositing money in the bank.

Linlang took out ten yuan and gave it to Chen Lei, saying, "As agreed before, this is your private money."

Chen Lei was very happy when Linlang gave him ten yuan. He thought it was great that Linlang gave him five yuan at most. Now she gave him ten yuan. How many good things can he eat when he goes to the city in the future? He couldn't help but hug Linlang and kiss her madly, saying, "My wife, you are so good to me."

After all, it was only eighteen dollars, so I gave him ten dollars.

After buying the house and renting it out, Linlang didn't go to the city for a while.

Seeing that Linlang no longer went to the city, Mrs. Chen and the others felt a little regretful. After all, every time Linlang went to the city, she would bring back some things. Now that she no longer goes, she will not be able to get these things.

As for her at home, she really did nothing. She only took care of her children and washed the clothes for the three families.

At most, it’s when she’s cooking. Maybe because she also has to eat, she’ll take turns cooking with them.

——In fact, it was mainly because the people at home were not good at cooking and the dishes they cooked were not tasty. Linlang could not eat the food they cooked every day. In order not to put herself in a difficult position, sometimes when there were good ingredients at home, in order to prevent Chen Dasao and others from wasting them, she would say that she would cook it.

If the food these people cooked was delicious, Linlang might not have bought it. The original body's cooking skills were good, and Linlang's were naturally better. She gradually improved her cooking skills and made them tastier each time, which did not make the people at home suspicious. How could her cooking skills be so good now?

Because Linlang’s cooking is delicious, sometimes when she wants to contribute, her family is naturally happy to help.

Of course, Linlang would do whatever she wanted to do. If Mrs. Chen and the others forced her to do it, she would ignore them.

Seeing that Linlang acted like such a scoundrel, those people couldn't do anything to her and could only let her do what she wanted.

Fortunately, Linlang would occasionally cook for them, and they no longer had to wash the clothes for the third room, so everyone felt a little better, thinking that she was at least doing something.

Then they thought that there were indeed few people in the third room, and the children were still very young and could not eat much, so they felt that it was a disadvantage to have two people do the work, so they only had one person do the work, and then Linlang did a little occasionally, which made sense. Besides, Linlang’s cooking was delicious, so everyone was not so angry. Seeing that Linlang did not work, they also stopped working.

More importantly, Linlang would go to the city once a month, and every time she came back, she would bring back some food, which made them feel that it made up for Linlang's shortcoming of not working.

Linlang goes to the city once a month, of course to collect rent.

But it's not just about collecting rent. Just like Linlang said, she also wants to see if there is any opportunity to make a fortune.

Now that her two children are still young, it is obviously not possible for her to go to the city to work because she is not at ease leaving the children to be taken care of by the Chen family.

So it would be best to find a project that can make money at home, and she can make money by working at home.

Such things do exist in this era, because there is almost no automation in this era, and many things have to be done manually. So as long as you can find a place to do manual work, you will definitely be able to take it home and do it on a piece-rate basis.

I wandered around the streets the first time but couldn’t find it, but I found it the second time.

It was a small workshop that made cheap jewelry. They used thread to string fake pearls and fake gemstones together to make cheap pearl necklaces and gemstone necklaces. These pearls and gemstones were all fake, of course, but the designs were beautiful and there would definitely be young girls willing to buy them.

This can be strung together by hand, and the labor fee for each string is 1 cent, which means 1 cent for ten strings, 10 cents for one hundred strings, and 1 dollar for one thousand strings.

Although the money is small, Linlang tried it and felt that after she became proficient, she should be able to string one string of vegetables in one minute. Working eight hours a day, she could make about 50 cents, and 15 yuan a month.

Although fifteen yuan may not be a lot of money, at that time, skilled workers in the countryside, such as bricklayers and carpenters, only earned one dollar and fifty cents a day. Even if they worked every day for a month, they could only earn forty-five yuan. Moreover, it was impossible to have work every day. It was good to be able to work twenty days a month. That is to say, skilled workers such as bricklayers and carpenters would only earn thirty yuan a month, and other unskilled workers would only earn more than twenty yuan a month.

This beading job can be done every day, only eight hours a day, and it is easier than manual labor, and you can still earn fifteen yuan. People like Chen Dasao definitely work more than eight hours a day and can earn more. Doesn't this give them a chance to make money? After all, Chen Dasao and others are at home doing laundry, cooking, farming, raising pigs and chickens, and they don't make much money in a year. Isn't it more profitable to do this kind of thing?

This is also normal. Doing this kind of work can definitely earn you much more than farming at home. Otherwise, not everyone would be working, and only the elderly would be farming in their hometowns.
