Chapter 76: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 76: Playing Unconventionally
After Yu Fugui agreed, he began to move the baskets.
Wen Xiuyun knew that stir-frying chestnuts was not easy, so she whispered, "Don't overwork yourself. The customers behind are all old acquaintances of mine for many years. A little patience for a day or two is still possible. I've already told them."
Bai Lu nodded with a smile, "Not too tiring. Ah Cheng will also help me when he's free. Our sugar-fried chestnuts have only been on the market for a short time, and there is a keen competitor. We can't afford to lose our reputation. Giving customers a reliable delivery today is better."
Everyone wants to make a little more money in business, and Wu Xiuyun is no exception. She complimented Bai Lu on being sensible.
As they were talking, a knock on the door came from the courtyard.
Yu Fugui was still in the yard, moving the last basket of sugar-fried chestnuts, so who could it be?
The three of them looked outside.
A rosy-faced, slightly plump woman, supporting her big belly with one hand, wiped nonexistent sweat from her forehead. She strolled casually and familiarly walked towards the yard, smiling at Bai Lu.
"Busy?"
Aunt Wu and Yu Fugui, seeing that Bai Lu had a guest to welcome, didn't chat much and left after greeting Bai Lu.
The guest had finally arrived, and Bai Lu naturally wouldn't turn her away, especially when the person was pregnant.
Chen Chunli sat in the chair Bai Lu had just occupied, feeling at ease. She didn't bother with a thank you.
Smelling the lingering fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts in the yard and thinking about her purpose, she casually said, "Just fried the chestnuts?"
"Very fragrant. How does it taste? I heard from Wang Hao that Xiao Cheng took sugar-fried chestnuts to them when he went to work, and everyone said it was delicious..."
Implicitly suggesting that your husband has shared sugar-fried chestnuts with his brothers, so you shouldn't refuse his brother's wife?
Bai Lu casually took a chair and sat down, giving a signature fake smile, "Sugar-fried chestnuts have too much sugar, not suitable for pregnant women. Eating too much can lead to diabetes."
In other words, she wouldn't even give a taste!
Chen Chunli's face didn't look good. She also knew that the rumors outside were true, and Bai Lu was no longer timid and weak.
Her character was no longer easy to manipulate as before.
Chen Chunli glanced at Bai Lu's slightly bulging belly, changed the topic, and chatted casually, "Your figure is really good. You're over six months pregnant, but your belly is still small. Put on a couple more clothes, and it's not noticeable that you're pregnant."
"Unlike me, just three or four months pregnant, my figure has already changed with my belly. The whole person has gained weight, my face has become round, and I find myself ugly when I look in the mirror. I envy you for still having a slim and good-looking figure."
A breeze blew, and Bai Lu calmly adjusted her clothes, gently touching her small belly.
"The doctor said that thin people don't show much until six or seven months. It's hard to tell in the early months. Now that it's cold, wearing a couple more clothes hides the pregnant belly."
Chen Chunli, who was pregnant, had heard from Wang Hao's mother that thin people indeed show their pregnancy later.
But she was impatient and didn't have time to argue with Bai Lu about pregnancy. What concerned her was the sugar-fried chestnuts, "Bai Lu, when I went to buy groceries today, I saw Wang Cuihua riding a bicycle with a big basket of sugar-fried chestnuts on the back seat."
Bai Lu: "Hmm."
Chen Chunli was at a loss with Bai Lu's indifferent response. She had to continue, "I remember Wang Cuihua is from the countryside and doesn't know how to make sugar-fried chestnuts, right?"
Bai Lu smiled faintly, "She doesn't."
"Then who made her sugar-fried chestnuts?"
"I made them."
"Why doesn't she make them herself?"
"She doesn't know how."
"Why don't you teach her?"
"I won't."
Chen Chunli: "..."
"You're doing heavy work while pregnant. Making sugar-fried chestnuts is delicious, but it's undoubtedly labor-intensive. You might as well teach someone else to do it."
"I don't want to teach."
Bai Lu smiled very friendly.
A completely unconventional response.
Chen Chunli was prepared for this and couldn't force Bai Lu to reveal the recipe for sugar-fried chestnuts. With Xiao Cheng, who was ruthless and violent, supporting Bai Lu, she couldn't force Bai Lu to yield.
After some consideration, Chen Chunli could only temporarily step back, sighing with a distressed expression.
"Bai Lu, my child is one month older than yours. It's going to be born in two months, and I haven't prepared anything yet. Wang Hao, that useless waste, has been with your family's Xiao Cheng for so long, hasn't saved any money, and hasn't learned much. He can only earn money after finishing building a house."
"My belly is getting bigger every day, absorbing nutrients quickly, but I have nothing good to feed my child. I look like I've gained a circle, but it's all virtual fat. I don't even know if there will be milk for the child when it's born..."
A widow mourning her deceased husband's hard life.
A wife scolding her husband as a useless waste who can't earn money.
Bai Lu just listened quietly, with opinions going in one ear and out the other.
Chen Chunli was anxious by herself, cutting to the chase, "Wang Cuihua's husband died, and life is tough. Our Wang Hao is also a useless waste, and life is equally difficult."
"We are all Cheng's brothers, half family. Bai Lu, won't you help when you see someone in trouble?"
"I won't." Bai Lu smiled kindly.
Chen Chunli also smiled and said directly, "Wang Cuihua, who is so foolish, can sell sugar-fried chestnuts. We have no reason not to sell. The neighboring town of Qingshui doesn't have sugar-fried chestnuts for sale. I think we can set up a stall there."
Even we have started.
Bai Lu sat back, looking relaxed, "That's good."
Chen Chunli didn't expect it to go so smoothly, a bit beyond her expectations, and her smile grew bigger.
"Then, how do we split the money earned from selling sugar-fried chestnuts?"
"Excluding the cost of buying chestnuts at two cents, one cent for labor per pound, and a fifty-fifty profit." Bai Lu repeated the words she had told Wang Cuihua.
A few days ago, Chen Chunli also bought chestnuts, but only a few dozen kilograms. Whether she sold them to Bai Lu or not, there was no significant difference.
The cost and labor fees were in Bai Lu's hands, and the net profit had to be split fifty-fifty. She was just a casual worker helping to sell chestnuts, and her salary had to be calculated based on the quantity sold.
If the sugar-fried chestnuts sold less than a widow, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
