Chapter 327 Xia Jing is really panicking
"I... Xiaoxiao, I've been trying hard these past few days, but Xia Liang won't listen to my tricks. What can I do? You don't know, she has a heart of stone. I didn't even scold her or hit her, but she still gave me the cold shoulder."
Meng Xiaoxiao was a little speechless. She didn't understand why she had such a stupid mother.
"I don't care what method you use, I just want to see results."
"Xia Liang and the child are fine. What's the point of you going out all day?"
Meng Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost cried. She shouldn't have cooperated with this idiot, but...
She couldn't do it herself, so she should ask someone else to do it? Li Xue? Song Jia?
Although these two people are useless, she can give them some promises. If they can really do it for her, she doesn't mind giving them some benefits.
"If you continue to make no progress, does your son still want to be a high-ranking official?"
Mother Xia shuddered. Her son, a high-ranking official...
Thinking about her son's future success, she felt inexplicably excited. Her son was her lifeblood, and also the root of their family.
She must fight for her son.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. I will get rid of that little bastard as soon as possible."
Isn't Xia Liang's child a bastard? This child shouldn't have been born in the world.
"What happened today?"
The two were still talking when they suddenly smelled a faint aroma of meat, and Xia's mother immediately perked up.
That little bitch Xia Liang was really lucky. She could smell the meat every day, but unfortunately she never got to eat a single bite.
Fortunately, this damn girl Xia Jing still had some conscience and remembered to buy her some meat.
Mother Xia knew that Xia Jing must not have bought much meat, so she had to hurry over to eat it, otherwise it would be gone if she went too late.
Xia's mother was very fast, and Meng Xiaoxiao was also fast after she smelled the meat.
Although she looks weak at normal times, she can run faster than Xia's mother at this moment.
When the two went to the kitchen, they found that Xia Jing had already cooked the dish. There was not much meat on it, just a few sparse pieces.
"Jingjing, why is there so little meat?"
Mother Xia complained and didn't even bother to pick up the chopsticks. She just reached out and took a piece of meat from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mm, it smells good."
"It's good, much better than before."
Meng Xiaoxiao is much more civilized than Xia's mother. She even knows how to eat with chopsticks.
Xia Jing didn't expect the two of them to come over so quickly. She watched them come in and start eating the meat. Xia Jing became anxious and she hurriedly picked up the chopsticks to grab some.
There were only about ten pieces of meat in this dish, and after sharing it among the three women, there were actually not many pieces left.
Soon, the meat on the plate was gone.
"Jingjing, you bought meat today."
Zhou Hao smelled the fragrance, but he didn't care at first. Anyway, Xia Jing would call him to eat when she was done.
After waiting for a while with no movement, he stood up to see what was going on, and found that Xia's mother and Meng Xiaoxiao were both in the kitchen.
Zhou Hao immediately felt something was wrong, so he ran over and found...
"you……"
"Actually, there isn't much meat in it."
Mother Xia spoke with an embarrassed look on her face, and Meng Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. She only ate three pieces in total. Mother Xia and Xia Jing ate too fast.
Before I could even taste it, the meat was gone.
She didn't want to live any more of this day.
"Really?"
Zhou Hao's expression turned cold as well. Their life was already not easy, and now there were two more idle people at home.
Especially Xia Mu, she is useless and can eat anything.
As for Meng Xiaoxiao, this woman is much smarter than Yang Hongmei. He hinted at it several times, but this woman just wouldn't fall for it.
If it really doesn't work, he can only use some tricks.
But the method didn't work last time. If it goes wrong again, it will be troublesome.
"Well, it's actually better to eat some green vegetables. Green vegetables are healthier."
Mother Xia laughed, but unfortunately no one agreed with her.
After finishing her meal, Xia Jing hurried to make clothes. She had a lot of clothes to make and had to hurry.
She also thought about the problem of the clothes being messy. There was no electric iron here, so she could only use an enamel iron.
When she had fewer clothes, she could iron them herself, but now that she has received more, she needs someone to help her.
"I want to discuss something with you. I took on quite a few clothes today, twelve in total."
Hearing this number, the people in the room couldn't hide their joy.
"However, at first they all asked Yang Caiyun to do the work. I had no work here. Fortunately, I was smart and said I would give one free if I did two. People always like to get a little bit of a bargain at any time. Sure enough, someone was willing to do it."
"In this way, although we earn less per piece, our overall profit is still higher."
Zhou Hao nodded, and Meng Xiaoxiao also looked at Xia Jing with a higher opinion.
This woman is not completely useless, she can be very smart sometimes.
"I have to make twelve pieces in less than five days, which is not a small number, so I need your help. What you need to do for me is actually very simple, just help me iron the clothes."
Xia Jing explained how to iron clothes, and the three of them looked at each other in confusion.
Zhou Hao spoke first: "I am a grown man and cannot do such delicate work, so I will not come over to mix it up."
"I have never done this kind of work since I was a child, so don't count on me."
Meng Xiaoxiao also raised her hands. She didn't even help when the soy sauce bottle fell over at home. She couldn't do this.
Two of the three people present said they would quit, and everyone looked at Xia's mother.
Mother Xia was able to say something nice at this time:
"Okay, I'll iron it."
Things were settled, and Xia Jing was full of energy. However, the next night, when she saw the finished product, Xia Jing almost collapsed.
"Quiet, is what you did okay?"
Xia's mother was also very suspicious. In a day and a half, Xia Jing only did it twice?
Xia Jing mainly took orders for suits this time, which also required linings and furnishings, which was particularly troublesome.
Xia Jing was able to make two, which was actually not slow.
But... they still have ten sets of clothes waiting?
With only three days left, Xia Jing couldn't have done it even if she was beaten to death.
"I...I have tried my best, but..."
Xia Jing was also panicking. She had promised the other party that she would deliver the goods at the next market, but now...
How is she going to deliver the goods? I'm afraid she can't even finish half of it.
"Forget it, I'll try again."
…
Yang Caiyun worked slowly, and Auntie Li would still help her iron. Yang Caiyun was also a filial daughter:
"Mom, no need. There are not many clothes this time. I can make them slowly by myself."
Aunt Li was very pleased to see her daughter who was neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Caiyun, think about it, earning twenty yuan in five days is already a lot. Look at the people in our village, they only get a few dozen yuan a year, which is the limit."
