"We need to go to school, so we can't always come to Rongcheng. Therefore, we'd like to ask you to wholesale goods to the capital for us. You'll earn the price difference. Brother Mumu, do you think this is feasible?"
Li Mumu had connections and could get fresh goods, so Su Xiaosi wasn't very worried.
His only concern was whether Li Mumu would agree, as transporting goods all the way had its risks.
"Actually, it's not necessary to trouble Mumu to deliver them," Su Laosan suddenly interjected.
Both of them were startled by Su Laosan's words.
"Third Dad, what do you mean by that?" Su Xiaosi asked.
"Our convoy has opened a route to Rongcheng, and they want me to run this route. I was considering it, and if you plan to do this business long-term, then I'll agree."
The security at this time was not very good, especially for long-distance travel. Accidents were normal.
Su Laosan didn't want to agree because he was worried about accidents on the road.
But after these few days, he had come to understand that sometimes, to get rich, one had to be brave and venture out.
Fortune favors the bold; this saying was always true.
Su Xiaosi hadn't expected such a surprise.
If Third Dad could bring the goods back, that would be the best.
No matter from which angle you looked at it, it was the best.
"That's really great, Third Dad," Su Xiaosi said joyfully.
Mumu was also worried about delivering the goods and was still hesitating. He hadn't expected to hear such good news.
If someone was responsible for bringing the goods back, and he only had to prepare them, he would earn less, but he would definitely earn something.
"Then I'll be solely responsible for preparing the goods." Mumu felt a little embarrassed saying this.
He felt like he was getting off easy.
Just preparing the goods meant no risk at all.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaosi readily agreed, "Mumu, for the goods you prepare, no matter what they are, I'll give you a price based on the current market price. Whatever you can negotiate, that's what you'll earn."
Mumu understood. The price Su Xiaosi offered would be higher than the wholesale price, but to earn more, he would have to find ways to drive down the price.
This was a matter of each person's ability.
Mumu immediately agreed. If it was just small-scale business, he wouldn't earn much. The Su family dealt in large quantities of goods, and bargaining was feasible.
It was his good fortune to cooperate with this family in business.
At this time, there were only half an hour left until the train departure.
With the limited time, the three of them made simple verbal agreements.
Mumu would receive an increased payment for the goods and could also negotiate to earn the price difference.
Su Laosan, who would bring the goods back, would also receive a 2% transportation fee based on the value of the goods.
All three parties were satisfied with this distribution method.
Although the price Su Xiaosi offered Mumu wasn't very high, Mumu only needed to prepare the goods and deliver them to Su Laosan within the agreed time, taking on almost no risk and not interfering with his other businesses. This could be considered earning money for nothing.
As for utilizing his connections, Mumu had always understood that connections were built on economic benefits. As long as the price was right, they wouldn't disappear with use.
Watching the Su family board the train and then watching the train pull away, Mumu still couldn't believe he had such good luck.
He walked home in a daze, humming happily.
Seeing his brother so happy, Li Linlin's pale face also showed a hint of a smile.
"Brother, why are you so happy today? Is business good?"
Li Linlin knew that her brother worked tirelessly to maintain the family and pay for her treatment, and that earning money was the only thing that made him happy these past two years.
"Sister, I've met a benefactor this time!"
Li Mumu excitedly recounted the cooperation he had reached with the Su family that day.
Hearing this news, Li Linlin couldn't help but frown.
Could pie really fall from the sky?
But since her brother was happy, Li Linlin was also happy for him.
She believed her brother was a person of good judgment.
She had no doubts about the Su family, but she just felt that this money was too easy to earn.
In fact, although the Li Mumu siblings were struggling at the bottom of society and had experienced countless hardships, they were filled with sunshine and saw the kindness and beauty of the world thanks to Chen Zi'an's help.
In their simple hearts, there was no thought of whether they might be deceived by the Su family.
Meanwhile, after the group boarded the train, they arranged shifts to rest.
Su Xiaotian and Su Xiaomei were the only two young ladies in the group, so they were arranged to rest directly.
As for the others, three people at a time were responsible for guarding the luggage, so they wouldn't lose it without knowing.
No one in the group disagreed with this arrangement.
Everyone had a stake in this shipment, and it was only right that they guarded it together.
Little did they know that from the moment they boarded the train, their vigilant demeanor had already attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives!
Su Xiaotian and the others performed reasonably well on the train, but the main reason was that they were too nervous when they first boarded.
What kind of people weren't at the train station?
All sorts of people from all walks of life were present, especially those who specialized in finding easy targets to make money.
Su Laosan, an experienced person, leading a group of young people, was an easy target for people to prey on.
After all, who would have thought that a few young children could be capable of anything?
Therefore, after spotting the Su family group, these individuals boldly followed them onto the train.
Their plan was simple: after they succeeded, they would get off at the next station and return the way they came.
They even thought that even if they didn't return the way they came, they could sell the goods at the next station and make a profit.
The Su family finally found their seats.
The train was bustling with people, but fortunately, they had seats and could rest.
It was difficult to buy sleeper tickets at this time, and Su Laosan didn't want to trouble Chen Zi'an.
Hard seats were uncomfortable, especially when the train was crowded, which made it even more uncomfortable.
Su Laosan and the others were worried that Su Xiaotian couldn't adapt.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaotian was the most adaptable.
The reason was simple: in her previous life, Su Xiaotian had endured all sorts of hardships.
In her previous life, when she couldn't buy a seated ticket, she had also bought a standing ticket.
For two days and two nights on the train, when she was tired, she would lie down under someone else's seat and be disliked.
Let alone having a seat now, it was much more comfortable than not having one.
Moreover, with so many of their own people on the train, she felt much more at ease.
