Chapter 435 This thing can break easily

Besides, this isn't really robbery.

He had heard that Xia Liang would be going to Beijing soon.

Xia Liang won't be working here for long. By the time I've learned the job, wouldn't it be nice for me to take over Xia Liang's job?

It’s just that Xia Liang seems to be easy to talk to, but the woman is really a sly one.

Since Xia Liang came, Auntie Li has shown great kindness to him. Even if people outside are lukewarm to Xia Liang, he is still very good to Xia Liang.

But she didn't expect that the person below didn't eat anything hot or cold.

She could only come over and beg Xia Liang shamelessly.

"Sister Xia Liang, you are really capable. There is no woman in our compound who is more capable than you!"

"How did you come up with this idea?"

Seeing the undisguised flattery on Mrs. Liu's face, Xia Liang felt a little speechless: "It's nothing, actually. I used to like making clothes, and I happened to have a sewing machine at home, so I tried it out."

"I didn't expect the results to be so good. They all said that the clothes I made were much better looking than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. Later, when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, I was spotted by the salesperson there. They had money in their hands and liked the clothes I had, so they wanted me to make them a try!"

Xia Liang smiled and said, "I didn't expect the clothes to turn out so well. They all liked them, and the news spread. When the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative found out, they directly asked me to help them make clothes!"

"You know my hometown is a small place, so normally the fabrics don't sell very well. Since I started making clothes there, the fabric business has improved a lot, so we can both make money!"

Aunt Liu was a little impressed by Xia Liang's intelligence. There was a supply and marketing cooperative here, but the nicer clothes were all in the department store.

She had visited it before, but felt that the clothes there were too expensive.

But they never thought that they could actually make these clothes themselves.

"Did someone teach you how to make clothes, or did you learn it on your own?"

Aunt Liu was still very curious, Xia Liang smiled and said, "Do you need someone to teach you this? The main thing is to practice on your own!"

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up. During this time, she watched Xia Liang make clothes and learned a lot. In fact, she also tried cutting them with torn clothes at home and felt that it didn't seem to be very difficult.

The biggest problem is still the sewing machine. This thing is too expensive, and her husband Feng Dajun doesn't want to buy it for her at all.

This man is too superficial. He didn't think about it. Isn't it for her that she bought the sewing machine? When they make money in the future, they will have more money and can buy some new clothes for the children.

It’s not a problem to send a little more money back home.

Aunt Liu has relaxed her mind, but the most important thing now is to learn how to make clothes.

"Sister Xia Liang, can you teach me?" Aunt Liu still said what she meant: "I didn't think of stealing your job. I just thought that, first of all, my family's conditions are not very good, and making some clothes can supplement the family income. Secondly, you will be returning to Beijing soon, and after you leave, no one will take over the work of making clothes in the department store, so I wondered if I could give it a try!"

Xia Liang smiled and said, "Auntie Liu, I'm really sorry. You can see that I'm very busy every day. I have to make clothes and go to school to teach the children. I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to teach anyone!"

Aunt Liu knew this would be the result. She had hinted to Xia Liang several times, but this woman just pretended not to know.

It's better now. She told the woman her purpose directly, but she still pretended not to know.

Aunt Liu wanted to shake Xia Liang's arm. "You, do you know what it means that a distant relative is worse than a close neighbor? We are so close, and if something happens in the future, don't we have to take care of each other? If you don't give me this good thing, who do you want to give it to?"

Seeing that Xia Liang was not moved by her soft and hard words, Aunt Liu asked again: "Xia Liang, this is what happened. You know that it is still very expensive to buy a sewing machine now. My family doesn't have much money. This is a big addition to the family. I was thinking, when you are not at home, can I try using your sewing machine? If I learn how to make clothes, I will ask my husband to buy me a sewing machine!"

Xia Liang was even more speechless after hearing this. Aunt Liu also knew that the sewing machine was very valuable, so how could she have the nerve to lend her hers?

"Auntie Liu, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but the sewing machine is a very delicate thing. I'm afraid that if I break it, how will I explain it to my friends? You see, I'm always very careful when I use it!"

"To be honest with you, this sewing machine is broken and it's really hard to repair it. Besides, even in our city, you may not be able to find a place that can repair a sewing machine."

Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat. Was this thing really as hypocritical as Xia Liang said? She usually saw Xia Liang doing it very easily, and Xia Liang had been doing it for such a long time, and it seemed that nothing had ever happened!

"Don't think that I use it simply. If you are a new user who has never used it before, it will easily break down if you buy it. Even if you find someone to help you repair it, it will cost at least ten or ten dollars each time."

Aunt Liu's mouth twitched fiercely. It would cost dozens of yuan to repair it. Wouldn't this cost her life? How much money did her family have in total?

But she felt that Xia Liang was lying.

It has been a long time since Xia Liang came here. She has been making clothes all the time and has never seen this sewing machine break down once.

However, what Aunt Liu didn't know was that whether a sewing machine is good or not depends on the person. If you know how to use it, it will rarely go wrong even if you use it all day. But if you meet some novices, like Xia Jing and her mother, they will break the sewing machine without knowing why.

At that time, there were not many people who could repair sewing machines, and even fewer who were proficient in them, so the cost was even greater.

"Xia Liang, is this thing so easy to break?"

Aunt Liu didn't believe what she said. Xia Liang smiled and said, "When my mother came some time ago, you should know that I actually have a younger sister who also makes clothes. However, she and I never get along. My mother likes her more and wanted to help her in the past. As a result, she broke the sewing machine, which delayed the delivery of the clothes. It took a lot of effort to fix the sewing machine!"

"There are very few people who can repair it now. It's easy for someone who doesn't know how to operate it to break it."

"Otherwise, my sewing machine was idle when I went to town, so why didn't I lend it out? It's because of this!"

"After all, this isn't mine, and I have to return the sewing machine to my friend when I leave, so..."
