Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

"Wow, we've already sold ten pieces."

While the boss's wife was away at the public restroom, her female cousin counted the money from selling clothes with a pleased smile: "Three yuan profit per piece, ten pieces is thirty, thirty every day, nine hundred a month. Who says selling clothes can't support oneself? Once I make a thousand yuan, I'll throw the money in front of my mom and let her look down on me......."

Her female cousin was getting a bit carried away.

Lin Xiyu and Uncle exchanged a glance, tacitly smiling.

"Little sister, from now on when we source goods, you do the picking."

Her female cousin got more and more excited, and with a sudden thought, had another good idea: "You have good taste, the styles you pick are popular, we can sell a few more pieces."

"Fine."

Since she had a share in the earnings, Lin Xiyu naturally agreed readily.

"Uncle."

Her female cousin added: "There are many men who eat barbecue, and many who smoke too; we could also try selling some cigarettes......."

"Good idea."

Uncle slapped his thigh, becoming interested: "You two sisters sell clothes, and I'm idle anyway, so I might as well sell some things too."

"Besides cigarettes, we can also sell popsicles."

Her female cousin's little abacus clicked: "One popsicle is five mao, wholesale at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Count Zixi Lane is only three mao, so each one earns two mao......."

"Selling popsicles requires an insulated box."

Uncle hesitated a bit: "We don't have one at home, we'd have to buy one, and an insulated box isn't cheap......."

"There's money to be made; buying one isn't a loss."

Her female cousin was unwilling to give up: "Tomorrow I'll go to Count Zixi Lane and ask how much an insulated box costs."

"Aunt Da works at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative......."

Lin Xiyu whispered a reminder: "Buying things might get us an internal price, cheaper than buying ourselves."

"I won't ask her."

Her female cousin's face fell, full of resentment.

"You have to work during the day, so I'll go."

Lin Xiyu wanted to ease the mother-daughter relationship: "Save money where you can; there's no need to be angry with family and waste money."

"Xiyu is right."

Uncle also joined in persuading: "Family doesn't hold grudges overnight. Although Big Sister has a bit of a temper, she's great to her children; she buys nothing for herself and spends all the money on you two siblings."

"Aiyo, enough......."

Her female cousin irritably rubbed her ears.

"The boss's wife is back."

Seeing her irritable and annoyed, Lin Xiyu had no choice but to change the topic.

"That fast."

Her female cousin indeed turned from cloudy to sunny, instantly putting on a smiling face.

"She seems quite satisfied......."

Lin Xiyu found it amusing and went along with her meaning: "The skirt's waist fits, and the top's color suits her complexion, making her look much more spirited."

"Mm, I think so too......"

Her female cousin seemed to see small money flying in the sky, smiling so happily it was indescribable.

————

The boss's wife was indeed as Lin Xiyu said, extremely satisfied.

Her female cousin deliberately tried to win people over and gave her a discount, charging seventeen yuan total for two pieces of clothing.

The boss's wife beamed with joy and paid very readily.

"You two young girls, don't stay out too late at the Night Market......."

Seeing as she gave a discount, she kindly added a reminder: "After ten-thirty, the drunkards start causing trouble; if someone really uses the drink to act like a hooligan, just your uncle alone trying to protect you two might be a bit risky......."

"Got it."

Her female cousin's expression changed slightly: "We'll judge the situation and protect ourselves."

"As long as you know what you're doing."

Seeing that she had taken it to heart, the boss's wife said no more, happily taking the clothes and returning to her barbecue stall.

"It's almost ten-thirty; we should go."

Uncle glanced at his watch, a bit worried: "The boss's wife is right; the Night Market has all kinds of people and is too chaotic; we'd better go home early for safety."
