The book is set in the 1970s, and it’s not easy to be the villain’s mother

Gu Tian is very busy and sells whatever is available at the vegetable station.

If there were unsold radishes, sweet potatoes, sauerkraut, etc. at a nearby stall, she would buy them all at the cost price and sell them with her.

"If you don't make money, why do you want to do that?" Sister-in-law Du said.

"I don't want them to suffer the cold outside. Let's take the money and go home to have a good New Year." Gu Tian said with a smile.

People who come to buy food will buy a lot at one time when they see the variety of food here.

Gu Tian heard that the most profitable thing was selling meat, at least half of the profit.

She asked the vegetable station to help buy some chicken and chicken skeletons, and Yang Dong also asked someone to transport a truckload of ribs, ribs and frozen meat.

Gu Tian was very embarrassed: "You have helped us so much, no need."

"Hey, what does our relationship have to do with each other? Just give me the cost price."

Gu Tian accepted it.

The ribs cost [-] cents, and she sold them for [-] cents.Meat is purchased for [-] cents and sold for [-] cents. Bones and frozen meat are both sold for [-] cents, which is much cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative.And no meat tickets are required.

So as soon as the meat arrived, everyone rushed to buy it like crazy.

Gu Tian came home every day, finished her meal, kissed her second child, and fell asleep.

The others didn't say a word either. They just worked hard every day and were so tired that they couldn't even eat.

Xiu'er and Du Jiang occasionally go to help. They mainly guard against thieves and identify counterfeit money.

Counterfeit money is very rampant these days, and Xiuer discovered counterfeit money more than a dozen times.

Gu Tian was very confused: "There are too many fake money this year. I feel very nervous every time I collect money."

Shi Hongzhao said: "Yes. The people at the nearby stalls also said they had received fake money and were scolding them. We have too much cash, so we have to be careful."

Gu Tian and others strictly guarded against counterfeit money, and they were busy until 29, when all the meat and bones were sold.

Gu Tian stopped loading the goods and prepared to clear the vegetables for the New Year.

Bai Lang was still a little unfinished: "Don't worry, making money during the New Year is not as important as it is? I can just sell it myself."

"Everyone is celebrating the New Year, who are you going to sell your things to?" Gu Tian smiled and said, "Don't be too obsessed with money, just take a rest."

They sold out the remaining couplets and New Year paintings at greatly reduced prices.

Other items such as candy bars, peanuts and melon seeds are also on sale.

The crowd of people buying things gradually decreased, and they finally calmed down.

Gu Tian started to share the money with everyone.

First came Wang Jianjian and his daughter, each with three hundred.

Wang Jianjian smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "I've only been working for a few days, but I was given so much money?"

Gu Tian said: "Because you do good work, of course you should be paid more! You can't tell the villagers about this. It's not easy to have your life taken care of."

Wang Juan nodded and said: "I understand sister-in-law. After the new year, are you still going to do this stall?"

Gu Tian shook her head: "I quit. They all have their own jobs. Are you interested?"

"I want to sell some sauerkraut, radishes and so on. How much do you think I should give you?"

Gu Tian smiled and said: "We didn't spend any money on this location. A plastic shed and a stove are not worth much. You can just come over after the New Year and continue working."

Wang Jianjiang was so moved that he almost cried: "What a kind man! I will learn from my in-laws later, build you a memorial tablet, and offer you incense every day."

Gu Tian: ...That’s not necessary.

After they left, Gu Tian continued to count money. Among the three families who pooled money, one family took 1000 yuan of the principal and [-] yuan of the profit.

"Both Du Daming and Sun Lan helped with a lot of work, and the family was given an extra 200 yuan. I took two thousand, and kept one thousand eighty for myself. The remaining two hundred was given to Xiu'er and my dad. Shi Hongzhao's work was all in vain. , otherwise it will be difficult for me to settle accounts.”

Everyone laughed, and Shi Hongzhao patted her back lovingly.

Mrs. Du almost finished cleaning up and left: "I have to go back and clean the house. It's too tiring."

"Okay, my sister-in-law will have New Year's Eve dinner at my house to make it more lively."

Mrs. Du nodded: "Okay, it's great to meet you."

Bai Lang and Sun Lan don't want to go back to the village and are planning to stay here for the New Year.

After working hard these days, I have collected enough money for gifts. I will have more than enough money for weddings and children in the future.Both were very happy.

Gu Tian said: "Your mother-in-law will definitely ask for money in a roundabout way in the future. Don't be soft-hearted and think more about your man and children."

Sun Lan nodded: "I know, I will listen to you."

Just as he was talking, an old man came in, bought some vegetables, and gave Gu Tian a five-yuan bill.

Gu Tian took the banknote and frowned slightly: "Uncle, please exchange this money for one."

The uncle was anxious at the time: "You want me to spend counterfeit money? This is money I just took out from the post office, it can't be fake! Do you want to cheat money?"

Gu Tian looked at the light, then let Bai Lang and the others look at it, and they unanimously concluded that it was a counterfeit currency.

The old man yelled at that time: "No way, I just took out the pension! This is a black shop!"

Gu Tian was not in a hurry and showed her real coins to the old man: "Look, your money is too thin."

The old man took out the money from his pocket, which was the salary he had just received. They were all five yuan a piece, and he showed it to Gu Tian.

"I really didn't lie to you, you see they are all new!"

Gu Tian picked it up and looked at it with a serious expression: "Shi Hongzhao, come and take a look."

Shi Hongzhao went over and touched it: "Report the crime."

"What's wrong?" Bai Lang and Sun Lan were both surprised. They didn't expect that they would have to report to the police if they found a counterfeit currency.

It turned out that the old man had paid 75 yuan, and the money was all fake!And the codes on these banknotes are all the same.

"How on earth did these counterfeit coins get into the post office? How much is the quantity? We need to find out. Ma Bo probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year."

Sure enough, after Ma Bo got the news, he rushed over quickly.

When the old man saw the money being withheld, he almost fainted: "I got my salary from the post office. How could something happen? There is so much money..."

Ma Bo repeatedly promised that if it was really a counterfeit banknote given by the post office, he would be compensated, and he was relieved.

All the money at the post office was also seized and counted immediately.

They found two thousand counterfeit banknotes in question. Most of them were in denominations of one yuan and five yuan. However, the largest denomination of ten yuan was not fake.

Gu Tian said: "It seems that the other party is very cautious. The denomination is too large and the people will not be able to bear it. They will definitely make a fuss and make counterfeit banknotes with small denominations. Everyone may feel unlucky."

"How did such a large amount of counterfeit banknotes, all with the same numbers, circulate to the post office? I suspect there is an insider." Ma Bo said.

Gu Tian said: "These banknotes are so new, they probably haven't been circulated to the market yet. Let's take a look at the banknote transporters. They may have something to say."

Ma Bo smiled and said: "I said you are still suitable for this job. Do you want to come back and help me?"

Gu Tian quickly waved her hand; "Put it down, I really can't do it. I guess you won't be able to stop this year. Work hard."
