Chapter 22 -22 Starting a Business_1
Mrs. Xia’s mind had already been blown by the news, and she couldn’t pay attention to the envious remarks of others. She remounted her bicycle and practically floated home, her face a mix of excitement and sadness, happiness and the urge to cry.
One thousand five hundred yuan!
That was equal to a year and a half of work at the factory!
For a family like theirs, it was a fortune!
It was all because she was useless… that she let her young daughter go out to make money.
She heard that Ningxing even wore a cotton jacket, did diving, and performed aerial stunts on wires…
How dangerous and hard that must be!
When had her treasure ever suffered like this!
By the time Xia Ningxing and her brother returned, Mrs. Xia’s face was streaked with tears.
“Bao’er! It’s all because I’m useless! That’s why I let you go out to make money!” She hugged her fiercely, her hot tears falling on her daughter’s delicate neck, crying uncontrollably, her voice hoarse and strained to the point of nearly losing it.
“Mom, you mustn’t talk about yourself like that,” Ningxing sighed softly, lifting her hand to wipe her mother’s tears away.
Ningxing had already heard the village gossip about her acting and earning money as she came home. At the time, she had guessed that her mother might be distressed about it, but she hadn’t expected such an emotional reaction.
Indeed, a devoted mother to her daughter!
Mrs. Xia continued to cry, then as if she thought of something, she fiercely grabbed a stick nearby, preparing to beat her eldest son, an expression on her face as if she wished she could beat him to death: “It must have been you, you little brat, inciting your sister to go out and make money. I’ll beat you to death!”
The eldest brother was scared witless: “I… I didn’t…”
Before he could finish, Ningxing hurriedly intervened, “Mom, don’t blame big brother, it was my own decision to go act and make money, it has nothing to do with him!”
Mrs. Xia didn’t believe it: “Bao’er, you’re still defending your brother!”
“Really, it’s true…” Ningxing’s small face was full of helplessness as she took the stick from her mother’s hand.
“Regardless, you are not allowed to go out and earn money anymore, I can support you, send you to university. How can a girl be exposed to the public like that!” Mrs. Xia wouldn’t listen to explanations, eyes brimming with tears, she said, “As for the money you’ve earned, I will help you save it in the bank, to be used for your education.”

“No,” Ningxing shook her head, expressing her own plan, “Mom, I don’t mind if you want me to stop acting for now, but we should use this money to start a business!”
Ningxing briefly explained the prospects, development, and huge profits of the perfume business.
“Start a business!?” Mrs. Xia, upon hearing this, reacted like a rabbit in a tiger’s mouth, frightened pale, and waved her hands hurriedly as she gasped for air, “That’s speculative and unscrupulous, a shameful way to earn a living, and you could even get arrested for it!”
In those days, the collective had only dissolved a few years prior, and everyone believed they should be eating the public grain and took pride in working at factories, looking down on individual entrepreneurs.
Little did they know, many developed cities were bursting with shops and street vendors, and computers had even emerged.
Of course, you couldn’t blame the people here for their ignorance; it was due to the lack of information. The world outside had undergone earth-shattering changes, and yet many were still unaware of what was happening.
Unable to hold back a sigh, Ningxing knew that such fixed mindsets weren’t easy to change, especially for someone like Mrs. Xia who lived in a remote rural area. So she said patiently, “Mom, it’s been several years since the opening up, doing business is no longer seen as squatting and fraud, and you wouldn’t be arrested for it. On the contrary, doing business is now the most profitable occupation.”
Wait until later, when businesspeople would be revered as influential figures!
Dare to look down on them, and they could bankrupt you in minutes!
