Chapter 317: Vicious Competition
"You...you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power!"
Seeing that Xia Liang had come to help, Xia's mother was so scared that she took a few steps back and ran away almost in a panic.
Seeing that Xia's mother had left, Aunt Li waved her hand and signaled everyone to disperse.
"Liangliang, I don't think she will let it go! Now that you are pregnant, you still have to be careful with her!"
Aunt Li was worried, after all, Mother Xia was a crazy woman who might do something.
"Mom, I know, I know what's going on!"
Xia's mother was a greedy person. At the beginning, she only asked for 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, but today it has increased to 300 yuan. She was sure that if she was given 300 yuan, she would still come to ask for money!
"We still have to think of a permanent solution!"
Auntie Li frowned. They really couldn't do anything to Xia's mother for the time being. After all, Xia Jing was in this village, and she couldn't just chase her away because she was looking for Xia Jing.
As for driving Xia Jing away, it is not possible for the time being. Xia Jing bribed some people in the village. Although they gossiped and said bad things about Xia Jing behind her back, if you drive her away without hesitation, there will still be people who gossip about her.
"No need, I'll just close the door during the day from now on!"
When Ning Zhiyuan heard the news, he also knew that Xia's mother was not a person who could be taken care of without worry.
He had to go to the reservoir during the day, so it was impossible for him to be with Xia Liang all the time.
"Liangliang, why don't you accompany me to the reservoir!"
"I'll find you an office where you can study in peace!"
Xia Liang shook her head: "I feel that the purpose of Xia's mother coming here this time is not simple. Maybe she doesn't just want money?"
"Don't worry, she won't dare to force it."
…
"Liangliang, are you really not going to make clothes anymore?"
When Yang Caiyun finished making clothes, she pulled Xia Liang to accompany her. Xia Liang also wanted to talk to Sister Meihua, and it was still necessary to go to the town.
Zhang Meihua felt a little disappointed when she heard that Xia Liang would not take any more jobs.
The clothes made by Yang Caiyun are not bad and look very neat, but they feel a little different from those made by Xia Liang. I always feel like something is missing!
"I won't do it for now. The college entrance examination is coming soon, so I'd better study hard. Getting a good score later will be better than anything else!"
"Oh well!"
Zhang Meihua saw that Xia Liang had made up her mind, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly: "Liangliang, you have your own ideas, and I won't force you. But if someone wants you to help make clothes, I hope you can consider it!"
"Liangliang, you better agree! If someone insists on having you make clothes, can you help them?"
Yang Caiyun was also persuading her. Xia Liang thought about it and felt that now that this matter had been handed over to Caiyun, it would be a bit inappropriate for her to interfere.
"I can agree to it, but the price of my clothes has increased. From now on, it will be ten yuan per set. If anyone is interested, you can contact me!"
Yang Caiyun only felt warm in her heart, she knew what Xia Liang meant by that. Xia Liang was still taking care of her. Six yuan for a set of clothes was not cheap to begin with, and now it has increased by four yuan to ten yuan. Not many people are really willing to spend ten yuan to make clothes.
This was also a disguised rejection by Xia Liang.
"Okay, Liangliang, I hope you can get into a good school!" Zhang Meihua wished sincerely.
The clothing-making work was handed over in this way. Yang Caiyun set a schedule similar to Xia Liang's, also coming every five days.
Just when the two were about to go out, they happened to meet Xia Jing and others coming over.
But Xia's mother did not follow, and Meng Xiaoxiao stayed with her. Seeing Xia Liang and the others, Xia Jing snorted.
"Sister, are you here to take a job?"
Hearing this, Xia Liang couldn't help but laugh: "Guess?"
She looked at Xia Liang and Yang Caiyun, and found that they didn't have any cloth, so she sneered: "It seems that my sister's business is not that good!"
Originally Xia Liang was about to leave, but when she saw Xia Jing coming, she decided to take another look.
Xia Jing didn't say much and went straight to the counter selling fabrics.
"What are you doing here again?" Xia Jing had been coming here quite often recently, and the sales clerks all knew her, but they didn't have a good impression of her.
"Comrade, didn't I buy some fabrics last time? I have already made them into clothes. I am pretty good at making clothes. I would like you to help me see if we can cooperate with you guys?"
Xia Jing didn't care about other people's expressions and hurriedly took out the clothes she had made!
She knew that she had messed up last time, and this time she had to use the finished product she made to make others believe in her!
The salesperson frowned and didn't want to pay any attention to this woman.
However, at this time, there were still many people buying cloth in front of the counter. When they heard that finished clothes were available, some of them actually came over.
"How are the clothes made by this girl?"
Xia Jing's face was still a little ugly, but Meng Xiaoxiao behind her was dressed very fashionably.
"That's right, otherwise just take a look!"
"Yes, comrade, just take a look first. I can make clothes very cheaply!"
As she spoke, she opened the package and took out a small suit. You know what, at first glance, it looked well-made.
"Oh, you see, it's really well made! Girl, how much did you charge for the workmanship of this dress?"
An auntie looked at the suit with admiration, and Xia Jing hurriedly said with a smile: "Auntie, my suit is not expensive, the labor cost is only five yuan!"
"Five dollars?"
Almost everyone knows that it costs six yuan to make a set of clothes at the supply and marketing cooperative. Now, hearing that there is something similar for only five yuan, many people are tempted!
"This dress looks good, girl, are you selling it?"
Some people think faster and are very attracted by the clothes made by Xia Jing.
The clothes Xia Jing made had already cost her a lot of money, so she hoped to sell them quickly.
"Sell it, of course! I think your figure is suitable for this dress, why don't you try it on first?"
Xia Liang and Yang Caiyun watched indifferently from behind. Yang Caiyun couldn't help but frowned: "Xia Jing is still smart. She is planning to reduce the price of clothes!"
"It should be! Sister Caiyun, what do you think?"
If she could really sell these clothes, maybe she could get some work at the supply and marketing cooperative!
"It takes me a day to make a set of clothes, and five dollars is fine! But I don't know if she will continue to lower the price!"
Yang Caiyun was more worried that Xia Jing would ask for a lower price.
"Probably not! Xia Jing is a person who is too ambitious and unsteady in her work. She put a lot of thought into these four sets of clothes, and the results must be good, but the future ones may not be the same!"
Xia Liang knows this sister very well!
"Liangliang, what do you mean?"
