Chapter 213: Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone
Although a lot of money was spent, the family was finally able to survive with the money.
Now when she goes out, everyone praises Wen Ya for being so blessed. Her father-in-law is a leader, her mother-in-law is a lady from a scholarly family, her husband is not only a writer but also was admitted to University A, and her two children are sensible and well-behaved.
In addition to these false reputations, Wen Ya has also gained a lot of substantial things recently.
The Internet had not yet become popular at that time, and most people did not read, so life was relatively simple.
In other words, it is easy to fool people. Wen Ya only needs to hang up a sign for a 50% off clearance sale, and add some passionate advertising slogans such as "Don't miss it if you pass by" that she had recorded on tape in advance, and the store will be crowded in an instant.
Seeing that the discount gimmick didn't work, he made up a story that the boss had run off with his sister-in-law and that the factory's goods had no choice but to sell at a low price in exchange for wages.
In short, business is a hundred times better than before.
Because of the large volume of shipments, he also bought a clothing factory.
In addition to selling in their own store, the clothing factory also sells its goods to others. At this time, there is no such thing as debt or credit, and all transactions are cash.
Before long, the money that the Lu family had spent like water flowed back into Wen Ya's pocket like water.
When people are proud, they will inevitably lose their composure.
Wen Ya didn't know whether Lu Antai had learned any management experience in the CEO class that she had paid a lot of money to enroll in. She only knew that he had recently become obsessed with stock trading.
Moreover, Lu Antai came back and said that there was a young man named Zhao in their class who did nothing but made a fortune of hundreds of thousands by speculating in stocks.
Now is a period of rapid market development. Basically, the stocks that can be bought will go up as soon as they are bought, and you can indeed make money by speculating in stocks.
Wen Ya gave Lu Antai some start-up capital without even thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Antai was quite hardworking and doubled his earnings in just two months. After earning the money, Lu Antai felt that his capital was too little, so he forced Wen Ya to give him all the payment for the goods.
Wen Ya felt quite panicked at first, after all, stock trading is always risky.
But I heard from Lu Yiming that the popular writer the editor had found had already finished the manuscript, and both the editor and Lu Yiming thought it was very well written, so the award should be a sure win.
There is a problem now. Judging from the content of this book, it will definitely be a best-seller even if it doesn't win an award.
However, once the news of winning the award is revealed, this book will definitely be in short supply. If we then reprint it, it will probably affect readers' enthusiasm and subsequent sales.
At this point, Wen Ya was already very clear about it. She waved her hand and gave Lu Yiming another 10,000 yuan to ask the editor to print a few thousand more copies for deletion. If it was not enough, she could get more.
Because of this incident, Wen Ya did not repeatedly tell Lu Antai about the risky things, and she did not expect that Lu Antai actually borrowed money from outside.
If the debt collectors hadn't come to her door, Wen Ya wouldn't even know that Lu Antai not only lost all her money in the stock market, but also borrowed a lot of high-interest loans from outside.
Wen Ya had no money to pay back, so the loan sharks blocked Wen Ya's stall every day, making it so that no one dared to buy anything from her.
That would have been fine, but that group of people actually broke into Wen Ya’s garment factory and carried away all the machines.
Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.
I had thought I could make some money from Lu Yiming's book, but I didn't expect the editor to run away with the money.
It was only later that we found out that the self-publishing of the book was an idea of the editor himself to cheat Lu Yiming out of his money, and the other party had just said that.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming really gave him 30,000 yuan without hesitation. It would be a bastard not to make money when you have the chance. The editor later cheated Lu Yiming out of tens of thousands of yuan by using tricks such as finding a better and more popular product and printing more copies.
Lu Yiming was always happy to take the money, and the editor had not planned to stop so quickly. Who would have thought that Wen Ya's factory would be robbed by those loan sharks.
Knowing that it would be difficult to defraud money again, he packed up his things and left Haicheng.
This kind of thing is not protected by law. Even if it is protected by law, Wen Ya cannot afford to lose face.
You can earn money again if you lose it, but it is difficult to get your reputation back once it is ruined.
Fortunately, Lu Yiming still has a university to go to, so it’s not too bad.
Unexpectedly, a week before school started, the sister-in-law of the candidate who asked Lu Yiming to replace her in university came to her house.
The sister-in-law first found Wen Ya's stall. When she saw Wen Ya open her mouth, she vaguely mentioned that her brother-in-law's university quota had been taken away. Then she began to explain how difficult the family was now. The last step was to ask for money.
After hearing this, Wen Ya's mind exploded and he really wanted to pull the person who did the work for him over and beat him up. Didn't they agree that they would take money to do the job and that both parties should not know each other's identity?
What's going on now?
Wen Ya originally wanted to play dumb and get away with it. After all, what kind of trouble could a rural woman cause?
Unexpectedly, the other party saw through her thoughts at a glance and said directly: "I'll tell you the truth!
The village chief accidentally told my husband about taking my brother-in-law’s university place when he was drunk a few days ago.
I am so angry that I want to come to you with a knife and say that you are not bullying people like this. You let someone else get into a good university.
He also scolded me severely, saying that I had long hair but little knowledge, and that university graduates would be assigned jobs, and my brother-in-law suddenly became a civil servant from a farmer.
If this happened in ancient times, being an official would bring honor to the family.
I tried my best to persuade him, even threatened to commit suicide, and finally he gave up the idea of coming to you."
Wen Ya vaguely felt that this matter must not be that simple, otherwise she would not have run so far to find her.
But this matter was originally against the law, so Wen Ya still wanted to muddle through and played dumb: "Sister, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. No one in our family wants to go to college. You may have found the wrong person."
Mrs. Hu was not happy about this, "Sister, please stop playing dumb in front of me.
My husband went to the town to check and found out that the person who used my brother-in-law's name to apply for an ID card was your man, Lu Yiming. If I didn't have real evidence, would I dare to come to you?"
I didn't expect this woman to be so powerful. Now that things have come to this, I can only admit it.
Wen Ya sighed helplessly, "Then tell me what you want to see me about?"
"I agreed to this at the time and I received the money. I thought that since I had already agreed to it, I would not regret it, otherwise it would be too unfair.
But my husband is really sad about this hurdle, mainly! What he said is also reasonable. My brother-in-law has such a bright future and I have to sell it for such a small amount of money. It is really a bit of a loss.
My husband said that if my brother-in-law could go to college, he might be able to marry the daughter of a leader in the future. "
Wen Ya was speechless and thought to herself, why don’t you think about marrying the emperor’s daughter?
“It’s just that our family is poor. Even if the chief’s daughter is willing to marry us, she will most likely look down on us.
So I just told my uncle to find a girl who looks hardworking and capable, because the dowry this kind of girl wants is too high.
In addition to the high bride price, our family also has to build three large tiled houses for my brother-in-law, otherwise the girl will not be willing.
My husband has calculated that you need to give us at least 10,000 yuan for the house and the betrothal gift, otherwise he can’t give you the university place.”
"Ten thousand?" Wen Ya almost dropped her jaw in shock. "Sister, are you kidding? Who would go to college with ten thousand yuan?
How much is the monthly salary of a civil servant? Calculate how many years of salary it would take to save up 10,000 yuan.
You really dare to ask for such a high price! "
