The Gu family had no sons, only four daughters. Many people in the village were waiting to laugh at them.
But they waited and waited, only to see the Gu family build a small villa, buy a car,...
Chapter 87 A Big Bargain
In the afternoon, the three of them compared prices from several manufacturers and then returned to the hotel. They ran into Han Deyi and the others at the door. Ma Feiyue looked very unhappy, and there was resentment in his eyes when he looked at Erhui.
Gu Erhui pretended not to notice and returned to her room with Gu Xueqiang. Han Deyi and Gu Jianguo were talking outside. Han Deyi said he was planning to buy shoes. Gu Jianguo thought shoes were good too, and the market was no smaller than that for clothes.
Both companies decided on what goods to buy and went directly to the factory to pick them up the next day. Gu Jianguo and his team bought 100 men's leather jackets and 100 women's woolen coats to test the waters.
After the goods arrived from the manufacturer, Gu Erhui truly understood the painstaking process of purchasing. Gu Jianguo and Gu Xueqiang carried two large bags of goods to the hotel, sweat drenched in exhaustion. They didn't leave the hotel again until the next day, when they were leaving for the train station.
Fortunately, the goods were consigned, otherwise they would have to keep an eye on the goods.
After getting off the train in Lizhou and picking up the goods, Gu Erhui and Gu Xueqiang watched over the goods while Gu Jianguo went home to borrow a tricycle to take the goods back home.
This time, the purchase took seven days, which is a very high time cost. This is why not many people go to the south to purchase goods.
Not to mention the six or seven days it takes to get goods in and out, there are also the dangers along the way. Trains are better; just keep your money safe and don't let anyone steal it. Taking a truck also means being wary of bandits.
Once you arrive in Shenzhen, you still have to be careful. If you are not careful, your money may be stolen or your goods may be lost, or you may be cheated.
They have made a lot of money since they started their business, but the hardships involved are not something that ordinary people can endure.
After the goods arrived, they were hung in the store the next day. To show them off, Gu Jianguo and Gu Xueqiang both wore leather jackets. They were both good-looking and tall, and they looked good in them.
Gu Yimin, Gu Erhui and Wang Yueju all wore woolen coats. Not to mention that Yimin and Erhui were both in their youth and beauty, the slim-fitting woolen coats looked so beautiful on young and beautiful girls that people couldn't take their eyes off them.
Take Wang Yueju, who is nearly 40 years old. She took off her heavy cotton coat and put on a dark red woolen coat and black trousers. She looked slim and dignified, and looked seven or eight years younger.
"Why are the four of us sisters so good-looking? Because we take after our mother." Gu Siqing looked at Gu Jianguo and said, "Dad, you got a great deal."
Gu Jianguo stared at his wife, and suddenly remembered the first time he met Wang Yueju. They had a blind date that day, and she was also wearing a red top, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, with a smile as beautiful as a flower. He was so engrossed in looking at her that he forgot to speak.
Twenty years had passed in a flash, and she had accompanied him through thick and thin. Gu Jianguo couldn't say anything passionate, so he just laughed and said, "I really got a bargain."
When he said this, the four sisters and Gu Xueqiang all laughed. Wang Yueju blushed and glared at Gu Jianguo, "You are making trouble with the children too."
Gu Jianguo chuckled twice, then looked at the shoes on their feet and said, "Let's go to your Uncle Han's house and buy a pair of shoes for each of us."
They went to support Han Deyi's new store on its first day of opening.
The two shops are very close to each other, just a few steps away. Han Deyi and his friends are busy arranging shoes and polishing them.
"Wow, this dress looks really good on you." Han Deyi smiled and praised them when he saw them, while Tian Huiying kept looking at Wang Yueju. They were about the same age, but her figure was not as smooth as Wang Yueju's.
"Go get one to wear later." Han Deyi said with a smile.
Tian Huiying was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse. Wang Yueju smiled and asked Yimin, Erhui, and Gu Xueqiang to pick out shoes. Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing gathered together to talk with the Han Zhengping brothers.
Gu Sanjing will be taking an exam at the sports school tomorrow, and Gu Siqing and Han Zhengping are also about to start school. Han Zhengping said to Gu Sanjing in a very adult manner, "Don't be nervous. The coach said you can pass the exam. Just perform normally."
Gu Sanjing nodded. She wasn't nervous at all. The coach had told her that as long as she performed at half her usual level, she would pass.
"Are you nervous?" Han Zhengping asked Gu Siqing again with a smile, a hint of teasing in his tone. He had seen her test paper and knew that she would have no problem passing the grade-skipping exam.
But then I heard Gu Siqing say, "What if I'm really nervous?"
Han Zhengping asked her in a good-tempered manner: "What do you want to do?"
Gu Siqing: "Buy me some delicious food to comfort me."
Han Zhengping smiled, "Okay."
Gu Siqing shrugged. She said that this guy was a bit crazy. He was usually good-tempered and acted like everyone could bully him. But when he got ruthless, he was a wolf cub.
Over there, Wang Yueju and the others had already chosen their shoes. Gu Siqing walked over and took a look, thinking that fashion was indeed cyclical. The shoes her mother and the others had chosen were thick-soled, wide-toed lace-up leather shoes, which were also popular when she traveled through time.
"Is it beautiful?" Gu Erhui asked her. Gu Siqing nodded quickly. "It's beautiful. Uncle Han has good taste."
Han Deyi laughed, "Xiao Si is still the sweetest one." He touched Gu Siqing's head and said, "Xiao Si, be my daughter. I promise to treat you better than your father."
Gu Siqing sighed, "Uncle Han, maybe in the next life. I'll be reborn as your daughter in the next life."
Han Deyi laughed again, and at the same time he felt regretful that he had not given birth to a daughter in this life.
After choosing the shoes, Gu Jianguo paid and they all went to their store. Han Deyi asked Ma Feiyue to look after the store while they went to Gu's store to choose clothes for Tian Huiying.
Just now, Ma Feiyue was about to get closer to Gu Erhui, but Han Deyi stopped him. If he continued to do this in the future, he would be sent home. Han Deyi would not let the quarrel between him and Gu Jianguo get in the way.
Ma Feiyue was naturally unhappy and even felt that Han Deyi was meddling too much. Gu Erhui wasn't engaged, and neither was he. Why couldn't he show some affection in front of Gu Erhui? Maybe if he showed some affection, Gu Erhui would agree to marry him?
Tian Huiying chose a dress that was different from Wang Yueju's. Although her waist was a little thicker than Wang Yueju's, it wasn't particularly thick, and the dress made her look quite plump. Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui both said it looked good, and she thought it looked good too.
"Aunt, how about this one?" The speaker was Ma Feiyue's sister, Ma Feixia, who had also come to Lizhou with Han Deyi. The dress she was holding was the same as Gu Yimin's, but she was a bit short, so it didn't look very good on her.
No one in the Gu family commented on whether the dress looked good on her or not, mainly because they didn't know whether Tian Huiying would pay for her to buy it.
If it was Tian Huiying, it would be fine to give her one given the relationship between the two families, but that would be impossible for Ma Feixia.
