Chapter 293: Really rich!
Xia's mother jumped out immediately, saying that nowadays working in the city, one can only earn 30 yuan at most a month.
It turned out that they had to spend ten dollars just to use Xia Liang's sewing machine, and it took a whole day. This was simply taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
No, there is no such blatant act of taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
"It's up to you! Use it if you want!"
"By the way, considering your destructive power, if you want to use Xia Liang's sewing machine, please pay a deposit of 200 yuan. Don't accuse me of taking advantage of the situation. This is the price we offer, and we won't lend it to you for a penny less!"
Meng Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost fainted. When she discussed with Xia Jing, she had said that Xia Liang's price for making a set of clothes was six yuan. If they wanted to steal the business, they would lower the price a little bit, charging the customer five yuan, and two sets of clothes would only cost ten yuan.
Xia Liang asked for ten dollars right away, and they were only going to use her sewing machine for one day.
Xia Jing didn't want to be taken advantage of, but she knew that Xia Liang was the only person in the town who had a sewing machine! Maybe there were some in other villages, but they were not familiar with them, so why would they lend it to her?
And Xia Liang said that a deposit of 200 yuan is required. Even if I beat her to death, I can't come up with 200 yuan now!
"You...you...you are just taking advantage of the situation!"
Mother Xia was so angry that she was howling. Meng Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red with anger: "Auntie Li, I came here to discuss this with you sincerely. The price you mentioned is not sincere!"
"That's what I mean. It's ten dollars a day, use it if you want or not!"
"As for the 200 yuan deposit, I have already told you that it is a deposit. Do you understand what a deposit is? After you have used the sewing machine, if it is not damaged, I will return the deposit to you!"
"Are you here to borrow the sewing machine? Or do you want to destroy it?"
Meng Xiaoxiao...that's not what she meant.
Xia Jing...she definitely didn't mean that!
Zhou Hao was also furious. Thinking back to Xia Liang's attitude towards him in the past, she was always obedient. How could this woman become like this now? It was simply unreasonable!
The three of them were extremely angry. At this time, the door opened and Yang Xiaohong walked out from the yard. She had been listening inside.
"Hey, Xia Jing, I just want to know, who are you making clothes for? You didn't see my sister making money and wanted to take her job, did you?"
Xia Jing...this Yang Xiaohong is still so annoying, but what she said is so accurate.
"Xia Jing, do you think you have shame? My sister bought a sewing machine to make clothes, and you bought one too! Your machine is broken, and you come to borrow my sister's. And you want to steal her business. How can you have the nerve to come and borrow a sewing machine?"
Xia Jing opened her mouth: "I didn't mean that!"
"So, do you want to borrow this sewing machine? If you want to borrow it, then hurry up and get the money. If you don't want to borrow it, forget it!"
Xia Jing wanted to ask for a loan, but she really had no money.
She could still come up with ten dollars, but she couldn't come up with two hundred dollars even if you killed her!
"I don't think you are broke, are you? You are a young lady from Beijing, and you come from a well-off family. I heard that your father is a director in the factory, right? It turns out that these are just titles that sound good!"
Aunt Li said this with disdain and walked into the yard.
"Xiaohong, come in quickly! Don't you want to review?"
Yang Xiaohong turned around and made a face at them.
"Mom, do you think they will lend it to you?"
The yard door slammed shut and Yang Xiaohong asked in a low voice.
"Who knows? This is your sister's idea. They can lend it to her or not!"
When they entered the house, Yang Caiyun was still operating the sewing machine. She was now moving faster and faster, and her technique was very skillful.
Aunt Li just nodded and said that the eldest daughter was quite talented and was a good clothes maker!
"When Liangliang comes back, I'll ask her to help find out if we can still buy industrial tickets..."
Aunt Li spoke cheerfully, and Yang Caiyun only felt her nose sore, because she knew her mother was thinking about her.
"Mom, I..."
"Okay, stop talking. I know what you mean. You are my daughter. I am happy that you can find a way to survive!"
Yang Caiyun nodded. She had money in her hands. As long as she had a ticket, she could buy a sewing machine for herself! Then she would go to the next town to get a job. Just as her mother said, Xia Liang was working in this town, so she could go to the next town.
She wouldn't take Xia Liang's job. She's not that heartless.
She also heard what happened outside the yard. Xia Jing is really a piece of shit.
But did Xia Liang know that Xia Jing wanted to steal her job? Yang Caiyun shook her head. Liang Liang was so smart, she must have known it in her mind!
Xia Jing and the others finally pooled together more than two hundred yuan. Zhou Hao contributed one hundred yuan, and Meng Xiaoxiao borrowed another one hundred yuan.
She had no money, but the people on the reservoir had some. In the army, her reputation was quite good, and the soldiers didn't think much of it. When they heard that she would pay it back later, they gave it to her immediately.
Several people came over excitedly. When Aunt Li received the two hundred and ten yuan, she was still a little bit unbelieving.
She didn't expect that Meng Xiaoxiao and the others would really give it to her.
Of course, I also wrote a receipt, and when I finished using the sewing machine, I returned the two hundred yuan, provided that the sewing machine was not damaged.
Xia Jing walked in with cloth in her arms. When she saw Yang Caiyun sitting in front of a sewing machine making clothes, her eyes became dark and she almost looked like she was on fire.
This Xia Liang is really an ungrateful thing. They are sisters, but she charges ten yuan a day to use the sewing machine, but others can use it for free here!
She had to pay a deposit of 200 yuan for her own use, and she didn't believe that Xia Liang would ask others for a deposit.
How could she have such an ignorant sister?
The only people who came in were Xia Jing and Meng Xiaoxiao; Xia's mother did not come.
She wanted to follow, but Xia Jing and Zhou Hao disagreed, mainly because Xia's mother was too destructive and they were also worried that Xia's mother would destroy the sewing machine again.
That’s another two hundred dollars. I can’t afford it!
Seeing Xia Jing coming in, Yang Caiyun kicked the pedal twice more: "Look, this sewing machine is working now!"
Xia Jing curled her lips. She was not blind and should have seen it a long time ago.
She sat in the position where Yang Caiyun had just sat. In order to make it easier to make clothes, Xia Liang added a board on the side of the sewing machine to store the fabric.
You know what, this design does make making clothes a lot easier. I will add this board myself in the future.
Xia Jing kept this in mind. She still had to hurry up and make the clothes. With only one day, it would not be easy to finish two sets of clothes.
"Caiyun, you stay here and watch over me. I'm going home first!"
Auntie Li was worried about Xia Jing staying here alone, so Yang Caiyun nodded. Auntie Li then trotted away, and Yang Xiaohong followed behind.
"Mom, do you think Xia Jing is trying to steal my sister's words?"
After they went out, they did not go home immediately, but walked towards the reservoir.
"Who knows?"
"Then why did you lend her the sewing machine?"
"This is what your sister meant. She knows what she is doing. Don't worry!"
"I should have reminded my sister at that time! Xia Jing is really a piece of shit, she actually wanted to steal my job!"
