Chapter 484: Prodigal Wife
After distributing the flyers and returning to the store, Lin Xia saw Yang Hongmei and told her about this with a smile.
When Yang Hongmei heard that Lin Xia met Aunt Wang and the others, she was a little worried about what the family compound would say. But when she heard what Lin Xia did next, she felt relieved.
"You're really great!" Yang Hongmei was delighted. This was more satisfying than being scolded back.
Lin Xia smiled: "But our products are really useful!"
Yang Hongmei immediately said confidently: "That's right, they didn't lose anything, maybe they should be thankful for meeting you."
It gets dark late at the end of May, and since most families don’t have televisions, they often sit in the yard and chat in the cool air.
After dinner that night, Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu were taking a walk downstairs. They heard her name while walking.
The people who were talking were the ones they had met during the day. She, Lin Xia, was a person who had graduated from college but didn't get a job. It was so embarrassing for her to be handing out flyers in the vegetable market.
As the wife of a regiment leader, she wouldn't distribute flyers even if she didn't work.
Some people did not believe this statement, but since more than one person saw her, once several people testified, others had to believe it even if they did not.
Later the topic turned to what was written on the flyer. Lin Xia was satisfied and pulled Lu Yuxiu away. She didn't feel bad, but fearing that they would be embarrassed, Lin Xia decided to pretend she didn't see it.
The two of them strolled towards the basketball court.
Lin Xia asked Lu Yuxiu: "Do you feel that I have embarrassed you?"
Lu Yuxiu glanced at Lin Xia with a warning in his eyes, warning her that if she said these words again, she would be in trouble.
Lin Xia smiled faintly, "Do you know why I didn't go out?" According to her previous personality, she would definitely go out to confront him.
Lu Yuxiu figured it out after a little thought, but still asked, "Why?"
"Hehe, if I go out, they won't talk about the flyers." What does it matter if they gossip about her? As long as she gets publicity for her, she won't care about it this time.
When Lu Yuxiu heard the expected answer, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Early the next morning.
Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei came to the store at the normal time, and saw a lot of people queuing outside the door.
"Seeing this scene, I feel relieved." Yang Hongmei was worried about whether Lin Xia would lose money if she opened so many stores, but now she is worried about something else: "We are not in Guangcheng, will there be any problems?"
"Don't worry, they have been training for such a long time, they will let go sooner or later. It's impossible for you to stay in the store all the time." If you can't learn to let go, you will be tired in the future.
Seeing that Lin Xia was not worried, Yang Hongmei had no choice but to stop worrying about it, and the two of them threw themselves into the busy work in the store.
Just as she looked up, she saw a group of familiar faces. All the people who were present last night were there. Lin Xia nodded with satisfaction. If one person was missing, she would feel uncomfortable.
Once you enter her shop, don't think about leaving empty-handed.
The few people were not surprised to see Lin Xia there. After all, they had heard about her yesterday. However, it was just gossip, so the few people looked a little uncomfortable.
But when they saw Lin Xia serving them with a smile on her face, everyone immediately forgot about the gossip about her and really enjoyed the feeling that the customer is God.
While enjoying Lin Xia's service, I saw the clerk next to me introducing the products, and people were paying as if they were scrambling to get meat. In the end, everyone in the family compound left with a set of products.
Lin Xia looked at the backs of the people as they walked out the door, feeling very happy, not caring at all about their gossip about her last night.
When they left the house, they were still talking about Lin Xia.
"So Lin Xia is working as a salesperson in this store!"
"This job is not bad! Although it's not in a department store, it's better than handing out flyers."
"Hey, how much do you guys make per month working here?" People who have never had a stable job were immediately inspired when they saw Lin Xia's job.
If you can't go to the state-owned store, it's also good to go here!
"I think the best job is in a factory."
"That means you can't go! Besides, they recruit young people, who would want an old guy like you?"
"Bah, you are the old one."
A few of them returned to the family compound while chatting. Some older people didn't believe in it and didn't go with them. But when they saw them come back, they came up to them out of curiosity.
"Li Chunjiao, open it quickly and show us." Someone was curious about what was inside the fancy little paper bags. Seeing that Li Chunjiao's paper bag was the biggest and seemed to contain the most things, they immediately asked her curiously.
Li Chunjiao did buy the most. She not only bought skin care products, but also makeup products. She proudly took them out one by one to show everyone, "Look at this! I bought this!"
What she was holding in her hand was a box of white powder, which was for facial cleansing, and she was the only one who could afford to buy it.
"What is this? Washing powder?" Someone poked it with a finger. Li Chunjiao cried out in pain: "What are you doing!"
"It's not laundry detergent, it's for washing your face!"
When this was said, some people burst into laughter. Why bother with this thing when you can just use soap to wash your face?
Others thought so too, that's why she was the only one who bought it.
"Hmph, I'll show you when I'm done using it!" Li Chunjiao really cared about what others said about her not being as good as Lin Xiabai. She always remembered that some people said she had yellow skin and a face full of spots.
"How much are these things?" Someone counted them and found that Li Chunjiao bought quite a lot.
Li Chunjiao gestured, shocking everyone: "What? Seventy-nine?"
"You spendthrift woman, let's see how you'll explain yourself when you get home! You spent so much money on such a small thing?"
Seventy-nine yuan is equivalent to half a month’s salary for Captain Xu!
All of a sudden, the older people in the family compound looked at the people next to them, and the others immediately explained in a panic: "I didn't spend that much! This is just a few dollars!"
This topic immediately became a hot topic in the compound, and everyone talked about it after returning home. So within just one night, every household in the compound knew that a group of women had spent a lot of money on a bottle of facial cream.
Especially the Xu family, who spent 79 yuan! That night, the neighbors on both sides of the Xu family put their ears to the wall to listen for any noises from quarreling.
As expected by everyone, people in the family compound enjoyed the second wave of melons the next day.
Everyone was thinking of waiting for Li Chunjiao to show up, but for some reason Li Chunjiao was nowhere to be seen. Some people speculated that she was beaten and was too embarrassed to come out.
Lin Xia heard about the things happening in the staff quarters after she had finished her busy work for the store's opening two days and was concentrating on staying at home with An An for the college entrance examination. She was also a little curious as to why Li Chunjiao didn't go out.
He also curiously asked Lu Yuxiu if he had ever met Captain Xu.
Lu Yuxiu had also heard about this, and was a little confused when she asked: "Why are you asking this?"
"Is there any bruises on Captain Xu's face?" If there really was a fight, there would definitely be traces.
Lu Yuxiu didn't expect this, and said with a frown: "We didn't fight, we just had a few arguments."
After failing to eat the melon, Lin Xia no longer paid attention to the matter. The more important thing now was the child’s exam.
