Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 55 Lin's Father's Transformation
My uncle said, "I don't think they are joking. I am also worried that they will lose money."

This is not one hundred or two hundred, it is one thousand two hundred.

My cousin thought about it for a moment. The couple came that day with Maotai and milk powder. It really didn't look like they were joking.

"Why do they like this kind of reselling? They're just going to lose it. Otherwise, tell my brother and sister-in-law about it?"

My cousin was a little worried that she would lose money and be blamed by them.

My uncle said, "Seriously, Xiaofang and Ayan have already signed their divorce papers. Your brother and sister-in-law can no longer control Xiaofang. The money must belong to Xiaofang. They told me before that if I have any questions, I should talk to Xiaofang directly. They are all adults now, and Yanyan can even help out."

The cousin said, "No matter what, he is still Yan's boyfriend. Such a large sum of money will also be used for their future life."

My uncle thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go and tell them."

After dinner, the two of them rode their bikes over, but Lin Yan hadn't come back yet.

My aunt and uncle didn't say anything in a hurry and decided to wait until she came back.

Lin's father and mother were a little confused: Why did she come here so suddenly? There must be something wrong. Then they realized that the matter must be related to A Yan.

Father Lin looked at the clock on the wall and said to Mother Lin, "Go make a phone call and ask her to come back early."

Mother Lin nodded and went out to make the call using the public phone at the door.

The other end called Fang Mingche to answer the phone, "Aunt, A Yan has been back for about a quarter of an hour."

Mother Lin said, "Her cousin and uncle are here. Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh, I'm going to wholesale the unsalable goods from the supply and marketing cooperative and sell them at the tea stall. The amount is a bit large, so they came over and told me."

"Oh, is that it? Seeing how serious they look, I don't think it's a big deal."

In Lin's mother's mind, Fang Mingche's money had been almost used up before. He might have made a little money from setting up a stall in the past half month. It was nothing to use it to buy some slow-moving goods to sell.

Fang Mingche said, "Aunt, this batch of goods costs a total of 1200 yuan."

"How much?" Lin's mother's voice suddenly became louder.

"1200." Fang Mingche knew that if he didn't explain clearly, all the pressure would be directed to Ayan.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Fang Mingche said, "I asked my cousin to raise the money. It's no use asking Ah Yan, I'm the one making the decisions. Don't worry, if there's any loss, I'll bear it alone."

Mother Lin said, "She goes out early and comes back late every day to set up the tea stall with you. If you really have to take on debts, given our Ah Yan's personality, she will foolishly take on the debt with you. And as for Yan Yan, her life will definitely be affected if you take on debts."

Fang Mingche rubbed his head. Ah Yan's personality was indeed like that. So, he could only explain a few more words.

"Aunt, it won't be a loss. At worst, I can take it back to my hometown in three months and sell it. I'm sure it will sell. BJ's things are very popular in small places."

Mother Lin hung up the phone and said, "Ayan has come back from there. Aunt, uncle, I know why you are here. This Xiao Fang, he is addicted to speculation!"

When Lin's father found out what was going on, he was also stunned. How dare he do that!
Lin Yi's eyes widened. 1200? His brother-in-law was really good at making money. No wonder he spent money so lavishly.

Mother Lin said, "It is said that the money was collected from his cousin. Her uncle, is this settled?"

"If the senior leader approves it, it will be settled in our unit. The unit also asked me to confirm whether Xiao Fang is willing to buy it or not." After he confirmed that he wanted to buy it, he would go to ask the senior leader for permission when he goes to work tomorrow.

As they were talking, Lin Yan arrived home on her bicycle.

As she took off her gloves, she said, "Uncle, buy it. We bought it."

Lin's mother said, "1200, you said it so lightly. If we lose money and you don't share the debt, we will never say a word."

Lin Yan asked: "Why can't we make the profit?"

Mother Lin said, "It's a good deal. Who would buy rubber sandals in this cold spring? If these were selling well, would it be your turn?"

She also felt a little resentful towards Uncle Lin Yan. What kind of business did he introduce? He wanted so much money.

Lin Yan looked at her uncle apologetically, "Uncle, Mingche said that when he makes money, he will give you 10% of the dividends."

My uncle waved his hand and said, "I don't seek credit for this matter, but I hope I won't make mistakes. Since you are determined to do it, prepare the money and wait for my call. Then go to the Finance Department to pay the money and get the receipt. Then you can go to the warehouse to pick up the goods with the receipt. You should prepare the car in advance."

Lin Yan nodded. Ming Che had already arranged it, but he and Brother Song would come on tricycles. Two carriages would be enough. Just put them in an empty room.

Father Lin had been silent until now, and now he said, "You are all adults now. Now that you have made a decision, don't give up halfway. Your uncle is here to help, so don't make it difficult for him."

My uncle said, "I am secondary. At most they can make things difficult for me, but can they fire me for this? What I am afraid of is that there will be problems with their money."

Lin Yan said: "Tiananmen Square has a huge flow of people. At worst, there is still a way out, which is to transport it back home."

Father Lin nodded and continued, "As for whether you want to shoulder the debt together, that's your business. I won't support you, nor will I stop you! I don't have the ability to share your financial pressure. But if you really can't make it, Yanyan, I will definitely take care of it."

Mother Lin asked, "Then you don't care about this matter anymore?"

Father Lin said, "How can I control him? Even Xiao Fang's own father can't control him. He had a stable job, but he just quit it! He has big ideas!"

Lin Yan looked at her father and said, "Dad, you have changed a lot."

Father Lin said, "I heard you say that he is promoting business for the handicraft cooperative, translation! He should really be a capable person. I am not knowledgeable enough to guide this kind of person. I will back you up. If something goes wrong this time, I will take care of Yanyan's food and education."

He went to Tiananmen Square quietly a few days ago, with his collar turned up and his face half covered, so that Lin Yan and her family of three could not see him.

He took a look and felt that Xiao Fang was indeed very prestigious among the craftsmen. He was also very confident when communicating with foreigners.

Moreover, he really couldn't control Xiao Fang. It was Ah Yan's own business to decide what to do. If she followed the gambler and had to eat coarse food in the future, it was her own choice.

But we can’t let Yanyan suffer with me!

It was when Ah Yan angrily said that they were lenient with Lin Yi and harsh with Xiao Fang that day that he realized that they were indeed like that. That’s when he wanted to get to know this young man better.

It feels very different from what I had previously understood.

My uncle said, "Since Big Brother and A-Yan have said so, I will go back and report to the leader. We will leave first!"

The family of four sent the guests away, and Lin Yi said, "Sister, my brother-in-law is really capable. He was able to borrow so much money! People must think highly of him to lend him the money!"
