Chapter 14 Hire you with high salary!
"I...Mom, I..." Xia Jing wanted to tell her that Xia Liang had robbed her of her money, but when she thought of her mother's temper, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
In her mother's heart, her son always comes first. Her daughter is doing well, at least her mother really loves her.
The premise is that loving her does not conflict with loving her son.
And Xia Liang was not even as good as a servant in their family. She remembered that when she was very young, Xia Liang did all the housework. Later, when they went to school, Xia Liang had to do everything. When Xia Liang did something wrong when she was young, her mother would beat her directly.
It was a real fight! He used all his strength. Xia Liang always had scars on his body, both new and old. The honest Xia Liang never told anyone about it.
The two of them slept together, but Xia Jing saw it clearly. It hurt her to watch. She didn't understand why her mother only beat Xia Liang when they were all daughters.
Xia Liang had a good temper and didn't know how to resist, so in the end she was the only one who got hurt.
"Is it Xia Liang? That bastard must have bullied you again!"
Even though Xia Jing didn't say anything, Xia's mother guessed it herself.
Her eyes were red and her gaze was sinister: "Where's that bitch? I'm going to teach her a lesson now!"
"Ah... Mom, it hurts..."
Xia Jing also wanted to complain, but her movements were too big and she accidentally touched the wound on her face, causing her to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
"Let me see."
When Xia's mother heard that her daughter was in pain, she didn't bother to go to Xia Liang to settle the score. She hurriedly took out the ointment she had just bought from her trouser pocket and muttered:
"This thing is really expensive. It costs only one dime."
"I heard it's very effective and the swelling will go away in one day."
Xia Jing was delighted to hear this. She couldn't take too many days off in the village, and she would be embarrassed to go out with a pig-like face.
"Mom, you are so kind to me." Xia Jing was touched.
"Of course, you are my daughter." Mother Xia raised her head proudly. Her daughter was the most beautiful, just like she was when she was young.
"You need to get well soon. If Zhou Hao's family comes, you can't show up with a swollen face."
"Jingjing, mother is doing this for your own good. We must not give up on the dowry. You are still young and don't know that many rich people are stingy. For example, Zhou Hao, he is not poor, so what's wrong with him giving you a dowry of 200 yuan to marry you?"
"And what else did he say? What's so good about that jerk Xia Liang? He can marry Xia Liang for 200 yuan, but not you? Is he blind?"
Xia Jing looked at her mother who was applying medicine to her right in front of her. She felt extremely complicated and didn't know what to say.
Is Xia's mother concerned about her? Or does she want her to recover as soon as possible so that she can help her earn the 200 yuan betrothal gift?
She felt the latter was more likely.
Her mother is so realistic.
"Quiet, do you hear me?"
Mother Xia had been talking and when she didn't hear her daughter's answer, she shouted in displeasure.
"I heard it, Mom. I know."
"Mom, will you give me this betrothal money when I get married?"
Xia Jing asked curiously, and Xia's mother's eyes flickered, and her face was full of smiles again:
"Give it to me, why not? You are my favorite daughter, who else should I give it to if not you?"
"Well, Mom, you are so nice to me."
…
Xia Liang hadn't ridden a 28-inch bicycle for many years, but he didn't expect that after riding one, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Although this car doesn't look very good, it is still very exciting to ride.
The ground from Yangliu Village to the town is relatively flat, without any steep slopes, and the journey is very comfortable.
Xia Liang pedaled neither fast nor slow. All he saw on the road were green wheat fields. The wheat had already earred, and there were still many people weeding in the fields.
Riding on the dirt road, although it was a bit bumpy, it did not affect Xia Liang's good mood.
Unexpectedly, she was really reborn. Everything in her previous life was just like a dream. In this life, she must stay away from Zhou Hao, the scumbag, and resolutely not have any relationship with this man.
As for Xia Jing, Xia Liang's eyes were dark, she was an absolute beauty snake.
Tying the two of them together was fine, but returning to the city? Dreaming?
Wang Bin gave Xia Liang fifty yuan, and Xia Liang did not refuse. She went to a Chinese medicine store first. Most of the medicinal materials were available there. However, there were three kinds that she had visited several stores but could not find.
The price of the herbs was not high, and I spent a total of 10.22 yuan. It was still early, and Xia Liang wanted to go shopping again.
Xia Liang's hair is not short. Although she is thin and small, her hair is black and smooth, and it reaches her buttocks.
Although this kind of hair looks good, it is not easy to maintain.
Xia Liang thought about it and decided to find a barber shop to sell her hair.
"Girl, your hair is great. If you sell it to our store, you can get ten dollars for it."
The hair is worthless at this time. Twenty years later, such long black straight hair will hardly be seen. If you really come across it, someone will buy it for thousands of dollars.
Xia Liang thought about it and still felt it was not worth it.
She turned around and was about to leave when the hairdresser said hurriedly:
"Sister, I see that your hair is well maintained, so I'll give you an extra five dollars, which is a sky-high price. If you cut your hair from here, it will be almost ten centimeters shorter. The price I give you is the highest among our stores."
There must be some profit to be made on the 15th, otherwise this middle-aged lady wouldn't be so persistent.
"You can add 10 centimeters for 30 yuan, or less."
At this time, there was an old lady who came to play in the room. When she heard this, everyone looked at her in surprise.
Everyone has to braid their hair nowadays, but does Xia Liang want to cut all her hair off?
"Hey, girl, you might not look good if you cut it all off."
The elder sister looked at Xia Liang and kindly advised:
"Besides, if you cut your ears, it will be very troublesome to tidy up. When you sleep, your hair will easily get tangled up."
"Sister, I have a solution. Just tell me if you will accept the thirty yuan."
Xia Liang did not refute, but asked instead.
"If it's the length you said, I'll take it. I think you're an expert, so I'll make you my friend."
Seeing that she agreed, Xia Liang pointed to the scissors on the side:
"Sister, can I cut my hair myself?"
"Ah, this..."
The elder sister was a little worried, afraid that Xia Liang, an amateur, would cut her hair badly. She coveted Xia Liang's long, shiny hair. She had been cutting hair for so many years, and it was rare to see such good hair.
"Just watch from the side. If there's anything wrong, you can stop me." Xia Liang also understood her elder sister's concerns. She explained patiently:
"With my method, the hair can still reach the shoulders, and the length will definitely be increased by more than ten centimeters."
Xia Liang was so confident that her elder sister also became interested. She handed Xia Liang a pair of scissors, and Xia Liang didn't hesitate to start cutting in front of the mirror.
Although Xia Liang had never worked in a barber shop, he had learned how to do it for a few days before. This was a disguised form of thinning, and it was fast and accurate. In less than ten minutes, the long hair that originally reached the buttocks was only reaching the shoulders. On the other side, the hair on the table was still there, long and black, and it was really a rare good hair.
"I'm impressed by this girl's skill."
The eldest sister was full of praise. Why hadn't she thought of cutting it like this before?
Now the girl has shorter hair and looks more energetic. The girl's facial features are very attractive, but she is a little thin and looks like she has not developed yet. It will be fine after she grows up in a few years.
Life is hard these days, so it's normal for children to develop late and not grow up quickly.
This little girl is so skilled at cutting her own hair, I guess she knows all the tricks in the barber shop.
Maybe you have learned this from someone before?
The elder sister has been cutting hair for so many years that she has developed a lot of problems. She has back pain and can't even lift her arms on rainy days. Her eyes lit up when she saw Xia Liang:
"Little girl, where are you from? What are you doing now? Why don't you come and help me? I'll give you 30 yuan a month, the highest salary!"
The elder sister held up three fingers while speaking. Several people in the store were shocked when they heard that it was thirty yuan a month.
You have to know that it was not easy to make money at that time. The average factory worker only made 20 yuan a month, and few experienced workers who had worked for decades could make more than 30 yuan.
As for the rural areas, the money is even less, a full-time worker only gets 1.5 cents for ten minutes a day.
And Xia Liang, a little girl who looks like she is not even an adult yet, can actually earn thirty yuan a month? I dare not even dream of this?
