CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 143: LIANG HONGMEI IS INJURED

After airing for one or two months, it can be used.

In August, Li Congnan and Brother started gradually delivering goods to people, and Brother asked his classmate to buy a bigger tricycle.

From morning till night, the two kept delivering goods without a break. After a few days, Brother became darker and thinner.

Li Jianye recruited two clerks here, one is a thirty-year-old surnamed Tang, people at the distillery call him Old Tang, he’s married, and his two kids are seven or eight years old. He used to work in a unit out of town but returned because the elderly in his family got sick and needed care.

Now every factory has tight positions, it’s hard to get in without knowing people. So you can only look for private jobs. In these times, private jobs are hard to find too, but Old Tang was quite lucky to find this place, where he and Brother ran some business for a few days, got the hang of it quickly, and got a few small deals in a week.

With life experience, smooth in handling affairs, he’s very suitable for this.

There’s also a guy in his twenties named Liu Yanmin, who used to be an educated youth sent to the countryside, didn’t get into a good unit when he returned, failed the college entrance examination, and his family couldn’t afford it, so he had to come out to find work.

He was a bit embarrassed at first, wanting people to introduce him, a bit uneasy.

The two have a basic salary of forty, and a commission of five cents per bottle of wine. The commission gives them motivation.

Lin Wan calculated the distillery’s profit last month; after deducting costs and workers’ wages, there was still a net profit of over a hundred yuan. Except for the first month when there was no profit, there were some earnings the last two months.

August this month was even better; just looking at these orders, it’s clear there will be a lot of profit. It started to drizzle steadily these two days, Lin Wan checked the calendar and found it was already the Beginning of Autumn.

The weather turned cold immediately, Lin Wan thought about when she would have time to go to the mall and buy some yarn to knit a set of sweater pants for Grandma.

Lin Wan rarely didn’t go to the distillery today; she stayed home to wash the sheets and covers for Grandma and their room.

Just finished washing, and put them in the shower room to drain. Outside, she heard Zhang Shuhua’s anxious voice.

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, are you home?"

"Shuhua, what’s wrong? I’m here," Lin Wan hurriedly ran out.

"Aunt Liang got injured."

"How did she get hurt? Is it serious?" Grandma also came out of the room at this time and asked worriedly.

"Twisted her foot, Grandma Wang is at home with her now, I couldn’t find Brother Lin, so I ran here, luckily you’re home."

"Grandma, I’m going home, I might not be back tonight," Lin Wan quickly wiped her hands, ran inside to grab some money, put on a raincoat, and headed out with Zhang Shuhua.

"If anything happens, don’t forget to notify the family," Grandma reminded at the door.

By now, Lin Wan was riding a bicycle and had gone far, "Grandma, I know."

"Shuhua, what happened, how did Mom get hurt?"

"This segment of the hospital has been driving people away; according to the nurses, relatives of the hospital staff contracted two windows of the hospital cafeteria. There were too many outside vendors, and the merchants in the cafeteria were unhappy. Around noon, the cafeteria people came directly to drive us away, and unexpectedly, they overturned our stand. There were so many of them, neither Aunt Liang nor I could stand them, and in the scuffle, Aunt Liang was pushed over."

"Who pushed my mom?"

"Tong Li and his wife."

When Lin Wan and Zhang Shuhua got home, they saw Mom sitting on the bed talking and laughing with Grandma Wang, looking quite spirited, and half the worry was gone.

"Mom, is the injury serious?" Lin Wan said while looking at Mom’s foot, which was quite swollen.

"Not very serious, just twisted a bit, a little swollen, that’s all. Shuhua and Grandma Wang accompanied me to see the doctor, rest for a few days and I’ll be fine," Liang Hongmei originally didn’t want her daughter to know, but her foot couldn’t move, someone had to take care of her, so she asked Zhang Shuhua to call her daughter back.
