Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Could This Be a Scam?

She started to struggle, thinking hard but without any ideas. Considering the situation of Jiang Lan and the others, doing handicrafts would be best—bringing it back home and also making money. But what kind of handicraft would be good?

Tang Yue, after leaving the Bailutong Team, took the matter to heart. Whenever she had time, she would drag Bai Qing to factories around Jing City. When she saw a factory making dolls, Tang Yue’s eyes lit up instantly.

Tang Yue negotiated with the factory, and when they heard it was for the Bailutong Team, they hesitated at first. Tang Yue said, "Boss, these dolls could let those sisters with nothing to do earn some change. Look, I will leave a deposit of US$ 100 here. After the dolls are made, we’ll bring them back to you. Then, you can calculate the labor cost with us, how’s that?"

Although a doll was only worth five cents, if one was quick, making twenty in a day could earn a dollar.

Moreover, the boss said that if one became skilled, making thirty to forty was possible.

The boss, knowing it was for the sisters at the Bailutong Team, agreed readily and didn’t even undercut their prices. He only told Tang Yue that if they wanted to make them, they could come to the factory and get used to it for a few days before taking it back home to do.

Taking advantage of not having classes, Tang Yue made a special trip to the team.

"Eh, Xiao Yue, why aren’t you in school?" Jiang Lan happened to be sitting outside, basking in the sun with the other sisters. She was surprised to see Tang Yue come by unexpectedly.

If she remembered correctly, today should be Tuesday.

"I don’t have classes this morning." Tang Yue smiled and handed over the dolls she had got from the factory boss, saying, "Are all the sisters here? I want to show you these dolls, what do you think?"

The palm-sized dolls, made in various shapes, attracted everyone’s attention the moment Tang Yue took them out of her bag.

Being girls, these cute and adorable dolls were irresistible to women, both in the future and now.

"So cute," Jiang Lan admired the lovely dolls, hesitant to touch them, as they looked so soft and plush.

"Beautiful," the other sisters remarked as they looked at the dolls.

Tang Yue handed the dolls to them saying, "Sisters, you can touch them; they won’t break." She spoke playfully, and with her sweet smile, she managed to make the sisters laugh heartily.

Jiang Lan felt that Tang Yue had become more approachable, and several people took the dolls to look at them.

Tang Yue didn’t keep them in suspense and said, "Actually, the reason I came today is to ask if you would like to make these dolls. One can earn five cents per doll. Although it’s not much, the advantage is that you can do it right here at the team. After they’re done, you can send two people to collect the dolls and deliver them to the factory."

"This, five cents each?" Jiang Lan looked at the dolls with surprise.

"Yes, didn’t you tell me last time, Sister, that when the children go to school, and you have nothing to do at the team?" Tang Yue chuckled and continued, "So I tried to look around, and indeed I found something useful. You can gather together to make dolls just like now and have chats too."

"Is it really that good?" Jiang Lan’s heart was moved, yet she asked with some trepidation, "These dolls are so well-made; we won’t be able to make them, will we?"

"The factory staff said you could try making them in the factory for a few days first, and once you’ve learned, you can bring them back to make," Tang Yue answered.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes. They came here with the military, and only a few with education could find jobs in the city on their own. Most of them were at home with the kids and had nothing to do.

If they could make these dolls and bring them back, it would mean that everyone could do something in their spare time and earn a little money. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
