Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1393 Lazy Wife 10
Linlang then carried nearly 100 kilograms of materials back.

In fact, she had been practicing martial arts for a while, and her strength had increased a lot, so carrying 150 to 160 kilograms was no problem for her. However, she thought that if she went back and told the Chen family about this, they would definitely ask her to buy more goods, and then the whole family could do it together. So in order to save herself the trouble, she only carried 100 kilograms back to test the waters, and then go and buy more goods when they wanted to do it.

Sure enough, Linlang brought this thing back and said she wanted to make it by hand. When I heard her say that she would give me one dollar for every 1,000 strings, and that with her hand speed, she could make 15 dollars a month working eight hours a day, I asked the first and second wives if they wanted to do it, and they both said they wanted to do it, and they were very excited.

Mrs. Chen saw the advantages of her own family even more - she has two sons and two daughters. Except for the youngest daughter who is only two years old and cannot string beads, the other three children can also be put to use, especially the eldest daughter who is eight years old. What's the difference between that and an adult stringing beads? She can do the work of an adult. The two younger children can do the work of one, and with herself, their family will have the work of three people. They can earn about 50 yuan a month, which is too much, so she naturally wants to do it.

There is no need to worry about the money they earn, as the old couple will take it away - Linlang has said that she will not give the money she earns from handicrafts to anyone.

Since Linlang doesn't give it, then they naturally don't have to give it. At most... at most they can do what Linlang does and occasionally buy some food for the family. That can make up for it, right?

The old couple looked at Linlang's plan to get rich and wanted to object at first, but when they saw that it was profitable, they did not object, because Chen's mother also wanted to string beads herself.

It was Chen's father who said, "They are all stringing beads. Who raises chickens and pigs at home? Who cleans the chicken and pig pens? Who collects firewood?"

This time, without Linlang's instruction, Mrs. Chen said quickly, "You don't need to take care of chickens. You can raise a few to eat eggs. As for pigs, don't raise them. Compared with the money earned from stringing beads, raising three pigs is not worthwhile at all. Sometimes the pigs die of illness, and it's a waste of money. Raising pigs also makes the house stink. As long as you don't raise pigs, you can save a lot of trouble. Can't you let the three brothers collect firewood sooner or later? Anyway, there is no rush to work in the fields. If it doesn't work out, find other families to buy them, and you can make the money back from stringing beads."

The family got together to calculate the costs and found that traditional farm work took up too much time but did not bring in much profit. It was indeed not as profitable as bead stringing, so everyone decided to do it together as a family.

Either they had just been allocated the land and were reluctant to plant it, or they didn't want to plant it anymore, and the whole family was doing this.

Although the men in the family can do odd jobs outside to earn money, and the daily wages are more than bead stringing, there is not always work as an odd job every day. When there is no work, they can string beads.

However, Chen's father instructed that this matter should not be spread out, in case other people also wanted to do it. He did not want to let others know about the opportunity to make a fortune. Moreover, if others wanted to do it, it would easily lead to competition, so the owner should not lower the price.

As long as Linlang can make money, she will naturally not object to these things.

She now needs to earn more money to buy a house, but the income from rent alone is too slow.

So after Linlang and the Chen family had prepared this batch of materials, they took Chen Lei to the city. They planned to purchase a large amount from that company and make more money.

Everyone agreed that she should take Chen Lei with her and not others. After all, this was an opportunity to make a fortune that Linlang had found. She didn't want them to know where she got the goods from, and they didn't have any objections. After all, these days, everyone knew that news of making a fortune was confidential. It was already amazing that Linlang could help them make a fortune together.

Because they could make money, they had no complaints about Linlang.

This time, Linlang and Chen Lei were with them. They immediately bought a large amount of goods from the employer, which was enough for their whole family to use for a week. Then they hired a tractor to help them transport the goods to the main road. Then they left Chen Lei to look after the goods while Linlang went home to inform Chen's father and others to come and pick up the goods. Then, Linlang was left to look after the house while all the other adults carried baskets to the main road and put all the goods into the baskets. Then, they chose a small road with few people and carried the goods back home to avoid being discovered that their family was making money.

From then on, the whole family started stringing beads like crazy.

Sure enough, people like Linlang who only work eight hours a day at most are a minority, while the others are all monsters who can stay awake. They work during the day and at night, and unless they really need to sleep, they may work twenty-four hours a day - this is very similar to the early garment workers, because garment workers are also piece-rate, and many of them will work until the early morning and are unwilling to rest.

In fact, Linlang could have worked more hours, but she also had to practice martial arts, which was very important in this era. After all, there were too many bandits and robbers, so she had to practice harder to protect herself. So on the surface, she only worked eight hours a day and then took a break. The Chen family thought she was too lazy. How could she take a break when she could only earn six cents an hour?

But everyone makes their own money and doesn't affect others, so others just follow her and take a rest.

But the Chen family's movements still attracted other people's attention.

Just the other day, the neighbor next door asked Mrs. Chen: "What are you doing every night when you don't sleep? I woke up one night and found that your house was still lit in the middle of the night."

In order to save electricity, the Chen family gathered in the spacious main room to string beads.

After all, it is in the suburbs of the provincial capital, and it has been reformed and opened up for several years, so the village has had electricity for a long time and has electricity for use.

When Mrs. Chen heard her neighbor's question, she immediately said, "Oh, we are making shoes at home."

The Chen family had long known that turning on the lights in their house every night would definitely arouse other people's suspicion, so they had already discussed what to say if others found it strange, so Mrs. Chen said this at this moment.

Country people have the tradition of making shoes with thousand-layer soles. It usually takes a week to make a pair of shoes. If they only make it at night, they can get away with saying they can make a pair in half a month or even a month.

And with so many people in their family, they can fool people for at least several months. After several months, they can continue to make shoes and say that the previous shoes are worn out and they need to make new ones. This way they can keep fooling people.

There is no need to worry about the lie being exposed, because if you don't have shoes, you can just go somewhere else and buy a pair to pretend to be someone else's. Anyway, these days, these cloth shoes are not expensive.

Unlike decades later, these handmade thousand-layer-soled shoes are expensive because no one makes them. Scarcity makes them valuable, and labor costs are high decades later.

At this time, every woman in the countryside can make this kind of shoes, and the labor cost of rural women is almost nothing, so if you don’t want to make them yourself, it’s not expensive to buy them from others. You can buy a few pairs from other places and pretend that they are made by their family.
