Chapter 325 Too Despicable
Yang Xiaohong went straight to find Xia Liang, and as soon as she entered the room, she said angrily: "That Xia Jing is too much!"
"What's wrong?"
Xia Liang knew that Xia Jing would not accept the job honestly. Could it be that she was playing some tricks again?
"This morning, my sister went to the supply and marketing cooperative with her! At first, they just let them choose! Whoever did it would be done! But in a short while, my sister had received three jobs, and she hadn't received any yet!"
Xia Liang thought about it and it was normal. Yang Caiyun looked okay. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she had regular facial features and seemed reliable and honest.
And Xia Jing's face... is it still disfigured? That face usually looks a bit scary, and if she smiles again, it will give people a creepy feeling.
If two people offer the same price for making clothes, people will definitely choose the one they like rather than the ugly one who disfigures them.
After all, does everyone have a love for beauty?
"Later, she said, 'Make two and get one free!' This is a disguised price reduction. Plus, she also takes jobs from the supply and marketing cooperative, which means she has the guarantee of the supply and marketing cooperative. As a result, some people really hired her for the job!"
Yang Xiaohong said angrily:
"I don't know what she's trying to do. Originally it took about a day to make a set of clothes, but now she makes two sets and gives one away, which means she only charges ten yuan for three sets of clothes. It's only three yuan and three cents for one set of clothes. Isn't this a bit too little?"
In fact, I can earn three yuan and thirty cents for making one more set of clothes a day. After deducting the cost, I can earn three yuan for one set, which seems not low. When it was cool in summer, it was six yuan per set, but now it is half the price, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable!
"Then she's lowering the price quite drastically!"
Xia Liang sneered. He had known for a long time that Xia Jing was not an honest person, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless in the price war.
"Yeah! I don't know what she's after. Didn't you guys just agree on a price at the beginning?"
"But she didn't even say the price was reduced, she just bought two and gave one away!"
Yang Xiaohong was so angry, but she couldn't do anything to Xia Jing.
"Well... Sister Caiyun, what do you think? How many sets of clothes did you receive today?"
Xia Liang looked at Yang Caiyun. She had been given a vaccination at the beginning, so she should have known what was going on!
"There are only four sets in total. They are cool. I think four sets are good enough! I will make these clothes well and try to satisfy the customers!"
Yang Caiyun looked calm: "I'm not going to lower the price any more. It's only five yuan. I don't want to do it for less! If I follow Xia Jing in lowering the price, I believe she will continue to lower the price. My clothes are too cheap. None of us can make any profit!"
"Since her prices here have dropped so much, I'm going to go to the next town to have a look some other day!"
Xia Liang nodded. Simply lowering the price would definitely not solve the problem.
"So how many bodies did she receive in total?" Xia Liang was a little curious.
"Humph! Many people are looking for a bargain. She received twelve in total!"
Hearing this, Xia Liang chuckled: "Twelve? Do they need to be delivered at the next market?"
Yang Xiaohong nodded. In just over four days, Xia Jing could earn forty yuan by changing twelve sets of clothes. Regardless of Xia Jing's character, this was still a very fast way to make money!
"Haha! I think there will be something interesting to watch in the next episode!"
Her sister was still as stupid as ever. Could she make twelve sets of clothes in four days? If it were her, it would be possible. Xia Jing didn't have such fast hands!
"Ah, sister, what do you mean by that?"
Yang Xiaohong didn't understand for a moment. Yang Caiyun reacted quickly and immediately thought of the speed issue.
Just like her now, she can make one set of clothes a day without being too tired. If she rushes, she can make three sets in two days. This is already her limit!
What about Xia Jing? This woman is not one who can endure hardships. She was asked to make twelve sets of clothes in more than four days. Even if she didn't eat, drink or sleep, she couldn't finish it!
"Liangliang is right. There will be something interesting to watch in the next episode!"
Yang Caiyun was also happy. Xia Jing only thought about making more money, but she didn't think about her own speed. Is she really as stupid as ever?
"But I don't think she will lose face. If she really can't do it, she may ask you for help! Sister Caiyun, you should think about how to deal with it in advance!"
Hearing that Xia Jing might ask her sister for help, Yang Xiaohong was completely stunned.
"What? No way? Will she really ask my sister for help? But my sister will definitely not accept it so cheaply!"
If my sister had been cheaper at that time, those people would definitely not have gone to find Xia Jing!
"Yes, so I told Sister Caiyun to think about it in advance! Either spend more money to help her, or just watch the fun from the side. It just so happens that in the next episode, we can see how she explains to those who didn't get the clothes!"
Xia Liang spoke calmly, and Yang Caiyun's eyes lit up. It seemed that she would have to consider the actual situation when taking on clothing jobs in the future.
If Xia Liang hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten how fast she made the clothes.
No, after she gets back, she will consider how to increase the speed.
In the past, Xia Liang could finish several sets a day at home, but after she tried, she couldn't improve her speed.
I guess it's something I'm not very familiar with.
"Liangliang, I'm not going to help her."
Yang Caiyun thought for a moment:
"Although I might get a high price temporarily if I agree to her request, it won't work in the long run."
"If Xia Jing doesn't do it right this time, people will have a bad impression of her when the goods are delivered. Maybe people won't be willing to hire her even if she lowers the price in the future. If she doesn't get any good results, she will get fewer jobs in the future."
Xia Liang nodded. Yang Caiyun was really good. She actually thought so far ahead.
"It's not easy to build a good reputation, but it's easy to destroy it. It's good that you have this awareness, Sister Caiyun. If you practice more, I believe you will be able to make a lot of money."
Yang Caiyun nodded. She also believed in herself. As long as she was willing to endure hardships and work hard, it would be a piece of cake to support herself and Niuniu.
"I also tore off a piece of cloth for Niuniu. I want to make her a new dress later. She has never worn new clothes in Yu's house before."
Xia Liang felt a little distressed, thinking of that lovely little girl. She didn't know what the people in the Yu family were thinking. How could they be so cruel to a little girl?
…
Xia Jing was very happy.
She had taken on a lot of work today and could make a lot of money. She had never thought that she would have so much money in her hands after her rebirth.
On her return, she bought some more meat.
She must grab a few more pieces today.
In recent days, Xia's mother has been running to Xia Liang's place, but unfortunately Xia Liang refused to listen.
Mother Xia couldn't even go to her house.
Meng Xiaoxiao's temper became even worse, and she started throwing things around at home.
She had already figured out what to do for Xia's mother, but this woman was too useless. After several days, there had been no progress at all.
Xia Liang couldn't get into her house, but her mother came back to eat lunch at noon. She also saw that Xia Liang was at the reservoir during the day, but she couldn't get in.
She even suggested going to work at the reservoir, with the work points recorded in her name.
Unfortunately, the village chief disagreed, saying that Xia Jing could go to work on her own, but Xia's mother couldn't, because she was not from their village.
Besides, the village chief also knew that Xia's mother's goal was not to work. Even if she was asked to work at the reservoir, she might not really do it.
Nine times out of ten, he was pestering Xia Liang.
He had met many different kinds of people, but this was the first time he had seen someone as shameless as Xia's mother.
"What on earth do you do?"
Meng Xiaoxiao pulled Xia's mother into the room and did not forget to close the door for fear of being heard.
