907 Getting Rich Together
When Qiao Yu was running around, a lot of cotton stuffing had fallen out from the hole in her cotton jacket, and she was left with only the stuffing around her shoulders and chest. It became even colder later in the night. Qiao Yu had no choice but to return to the washroom while trembling. She closed the window and stayed inside so that she could at least be protected against the cold wind outside for a while.
As time slowly passed, Qiao Yu squatted in a corner of the washroom and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Li Gui made 60 pounds of popcorn. Her three-wheeled vehicle and basket could only hold about 20 pounds at a time. Sometimes, when the weather was good, she could sell about 50 pounds by herself. When the weather was bad, she could only sell about 20 pounds.
In order to do business with Zhao Fei, she went to buy another three-wheeled vehicle and asked Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao to deliver the goods with her.
At the designated time, Li Gui and the two children arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet Zhao Fei. He was already waiting there.
“Auntie! I’m here! I’m here!” Zhao Fei waved his hands and shouted at Li Gui.
Zhao Fei had even brought his younger brothers along. It had not been easy for Zhao Fei to ask them for help! Zhao Fei had promised them that he would give them 50 cents a day and that they just needed to help him with the vehicles every morning and night. They did not need to do anything else.
His two younger brothers did not have much to do at home anyway and it would be good for them to come out and earn some money. The driving force was that their father had asked them to come and help. They really could not say no to him.
“They are…” Li Gui went over to Zhao Fei and asked nervously as she looked at the two people behind him.
After all, what they were doing was still illegal. The more people who knew about it, the more trouble there might be. She was not worried about anything happening to her, but she was worried that Xia Wen would be implicated and get into trouble.
Qiao Mei was about to give birth and Li Gui did not want her to worry as it could easily affect her pregnancy. Qiao Mei was having twins, so her risk was twice that of others.
“Auntie, don’t worry! These are my two younger brothers, my biological younger brothers! I earn money to support them! They definitely won’t tell anyone about this!” Zhao Fei said confidently.
Li Gui took a serious look at Zhao Fei and the two young men. They indeed looked quite alike. What Zhao Fei said should not be a lie. Moreover, Qiao Mei also said that she had to trust… her business partner!
If you could not trust someone, you should not work with them. If you worked with someone, you should not distrust them.
“You can do a check. It’s a total of 60 pounds,” Li Gui said as she pointed at the popcorn.
“Sister, I trust you! I’m sure there’s no problem. So I’ll send the vehicles back at 6 p.m. tonight. Don’t forget to come!” Zhao Fei said.
It was obvious that one of these vehicles was newly bought. He had seen Li Gui’s vehicle before and it was already scratched up all over. This vehicle was so new that it looked a little dazzling, which was enough to show him how much importance Li Gui placed on this matter.
The three brothers quickly got on the three-wheeled vehicles and left the place. This place was not too far from Li Gui’s house and just a short walk away. Li Gui wanted to go and buy chicken to make a stew for Qiao Mei. Over the next few days, she must cook more nourishing food for Qiao Mei so that she would have more strength to give birth.
Zhao Fei did not ride the vehicles to the cinema or train station. With so much popcorn, they would not be able to sell everything at just these two places. Zhao Fei went to the vicinity of the children’s playground. It was winter break now and many parents would bring their children here.
Such a sweet smell would definitely attract the children’s attention. So long as the children wanted to eat, the adults would buy a lot for the children to bring home.
Children also like to compare among themselves. They all wanted to have what other children had. The popcorn was not something expensive and all parents could afford to buy it.
However, it was still not enough to only sell it here. Zhao Fei had grown up in the slum and he still knew many people there. A few days ago, Zhao Fei had asked them to gather to discuss the matter of earning money.
Zhao Fei was the only person from the slum who had done well for himself. Therefore, everyone trusted him.
“Brother! Why are you looking for us! All the brothers are here!” The guys ran towards Zhao Fei excitedly.
“I’m here to introduce some business to everyone. I just don’t know if everyone is willing to get rich together with me!” Zhao Fei said with a smile.
