Chapter 387 Another Envious Person

Xia Liang didn't know all this. She had been out for such a long time that she had already wasted some time. She still had to hurry home to make clothes.

Before Xia Liang even reached the door, a woman ran over and said, "Sister Xia Liang, are you okay? My child was making a fuss just now, and I didn't know Wang Youdi was causing trouble for you again. It's all my fault!"

Mrs. Liu said this with an apologetic look on her face, and Xia Liang shook her head nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's been solved!"

"Sister Xia Liang, you are really amazing. I just saw Wang Youdi coming back with red eyes. This woman is shameless and scolds people so rudely. I didn't expect that she would suffer such a big loss at your hands!"

Xia Liang smiled and said, "Actually, I really don't want to cause trouble, but if someone messes with me, I don't mind paying them back double!"

How could she not know how important reputation was to a woman at this time? But Wang Youdi dared to slander her reputation, she didn't mind, let her have a taste, it was indescribable.

Xia Liang believed that Ning Zhiyuan would not care about what Wang Youdi said to her.

But it is not certain whether the man will care about what she said about Wang Youdi.

"Xia Liang, have you installed your sewing machine? I want to use the fabric I bought last time to make a dress for my daughter. School is about to start, and I think I should give her a new dress for her first time to school!"

It's just children's clothes, so it won't take long. Xia Liang nodded and said, "Mrs. Liu, just bring it to my house and have it made!"

Several sisters-in-law saw Xia Liang and Yan Yue's expressions and came over: "Xia Liang, do you have a sewing machine at home? Can I use it?"

"Sister Xia Liang, my son Tiedan is going to school soon. Can I go buy some cloth and make him a set of clothes at your house?"

Nowadays, everyone's family conditions are not good. Although the men in their families have subsidies, they have no salary for taking care of the children here. The whole family depends on the subsidies from the men, and they have to take some out of it to send back to their hometown. Everyone lives a tight life.

A set of clothes in a department store costs thirty to forty, forty to fifty yuan.

But it's much cheaper to rip the fabric.

Even if the quality is not very good, it won’t cost more than twenty bucks.

If you make it yourself, you can save at least ten yuan. Usually they make it by hand, which is very slow and the finished product is not very neat, but the sewing machine is different. Not only is it fast, but the stitches are even, and the finished product is the same as the one you buy.

Xia Liang's eyes paused, and she asked calmly, "Can you operate a sewing machine?"

The sisters-in-law were all silent. That thing cost two or three hundred yuan, where would they get the money?

How can they operate a sewing machine if they have never touched one? They just think it is not difficult, so they want to learn it!

"Sister Xia Liang, your sewing machine is just sitting there at home, so why don't you teach us how to use it?"

One sister-in-law said this shamelessly.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyes lit up, because she had only seen other people operating a sewing machine, but had never tried it herself!

"Sister Xia Liang, how about you teach me first? Don't worry, I'm very skillful. When I was at home, my mother said that I learned things very quickly!"

Xia Liang wanted to laugh when she heard this. She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. My sewing machine is very busy every day. Besides, it's a delicate thing. If it breaks down, I have to take it to the town for repair. It's expensive and it's troublesome to transport it back and forth!"

"You know I just came here and haven't had time to buy a sewing machine yet. This one was lent to me by a friend! If I break it, I won't be able to explain to my friend, right?"

After Xia Liang finished speaking, he smiled apologetically at them, opened the door and went into the house.

When she was about to close the shop, she smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "If your clothes are ready, you can bring them here and I'll make them for you! Mrs. Liu, forget about teaching you. I'm really busy right now! It's not something you can learn in a short time. Let's talk about it later when we have time!"

After closing the door, Xia Liang sneered. Are they all just trying to take advantage?

Want to learn how to operate a sewing machine from her? She won't be here for more than a few months, so she has to make money quickly.

As for teaching others to achieve common prosperity, such a great task should be left to professionals!

She is not that great, just live her own life well.

The door slammed shut, and the sisters-in-law outside looked at each other.

The woman who asked Xia Liang to teach her how to operate the sewing machine rolled her eyes at Mrs. Liu and said, "Liu Cuilan, don't you have the best relationship with her? She has a sewing machine but she won't teach you how to use it. It seems that your relationship is not that good, right?"

"That's right, what's the point of trying to please her? Can she help your man get promoted?"

"Don't talk about Sister Xia Liang like that, she must be really busy!" Mrs. Liu's face was not good, but she still said stubbornly.

Xia Liang didn't bother to pay attention to the noise outside. What she had to do now was to make these clothes as soon as possible, then send them to the town and continue to take work.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Liu came over with the cloth.

Xia Liang saw that it was her and led her to the bedroom.

When Mrs. Liu saw so many fabrics here, her eyes widened.

"Xia Liang, how come you have so much fabric here?"

It turns out that every time Xia Liang went to town, she would bring back cloth. It looks like there must be more than ten pieces!

Xia Liang smiled, but did not stop her hands, because someone was coming, so she started cutting clothes.

Otherwise, when the sewing machine is operated, the noise will be too loud and even if the two people talk in a low voice, they won’t be able to hear each other clearly.

“Made this for some friends!”

Mrs. Liu's mouth twitched fiercely. You go to town every few days to bring back so much fabric. Are you making it for your friends? Who would believe it if you told others? Are you trying to fool the children?

"Xia Liang, tell me the truth, do you make money by making clothes for others?"

When it comes to the word "making money", Mrs. Liu's eyes light up.

Her child is about to go to school, and she has nothing to do at home. If she can find a job that can earn money, she will wake up laughing in her dreams.

Her husband is a filial son. He sends half of his monthly allowance back to his hometown. The remaining money is less than 20 yuan, which is enough for a family of three to eat. Are they planning to have another child?

Life was very tight every day. The most important thing was that my hometown would write to me every few days asking for money, saying that my third brother was getting married and needed a certain amount of money as a dowry.

The couple had many conflicts over this matter.

Mrs. Liu had a few dozen yuan in savings, but she was saving it for emergency use.

If we send all these back to their hometown, what will their family do if something happens in the future?
