Chapter 168 What are the conditions? Borrowing money
Midsummer has entered its hottest period.
As hot as the weather is the TV series "Blood Ties".
This drama only had 29 episodes in its own country. After it was introduced, it was so popular that it attracted a lot of advertising. In order to insert advertisements, the TV station divided the drama into many segments and lengthened the number of episodes.
Now this drama is being hotly discussed on the streets, and the first batch of goods from the Rutang family has also been produced.
After several revisions and proofings, a result that satisfied Rutang was finally achieved.
The clothing factory could only see pictures on TV and had no real objects for reference. This style had never been available in the country before, so they encountered many difficulties in making samples. Fortunately, Rutang looked at the clothes from the perspective of rebirth and proposed many improvements in details. The clothing factory finally overcame the difficulties.
When the first batch of clothes came out, Rutang took a few pieces and showed them to her mother and mother-in-law.
When Hao Mei saw her daughter putting on this dress, her eyes looked a little desperate.
"We spent all our money and this is what we made? What is this? Why are the sleeves so big? It looks like a bat!"
Hao Mei had never seen Blood Doubt, and her immediate feeling about the dress was that it was ugly.
Clothes look good only when they fit well. It feels weird to be so fat.
"Although we in the countryside also have the habit of letting children wear bigger clothes, this dress is only so loose in this part and it still fits the body. What's this?" Hao Mei pulled her daughter's sleeve, Rutang laughed, and Hao Mei was about to cry.
This silly girl spent so much money on something like this, and she can still laugh?
"Mom, this is called a bat shirt, but I'm going to call it a Sachiko shirt at this stage." Rutang made a flying motion. This batch of clothes she wore had short sleeves, and the loose sleeves were so comfortable and cool.
"What about apricot shirts, peach shirts, plum shirts? Can they be sold? Dear relative, don't you think so?" Hao Mei criticized the strange clothes and wanted to drag Xiao Li to criticize them together.
After Rutang changed her clothes, Xiao Li didn't say anything. She just looked at her daughter-in-law with sparkling eyes and a slight smile on her lips.
Hao Mei even felt that her in-laws might have been so shocked that they were speechless.
"I think our Rutang looks good in it. The dress looks elegant and tall on her. I think it won't look bad on people of our age. If someone fatter wears it, it can even cover their belly." Xiao Li's aesthetic is bolder than Hao Mei's.
Hao Mei has a conservative personality and is not easily able to accept new things she has never seen before. When she sees something different from the past, her first reaction is to reject it. Xiao Li is an extrovert and is easy to accept new things. Even if she has never seen the prototype of the TV series, she thinks her daughter-in-law looks good just by looking at what she wears.
"Mom really has good taste, hehe." Ru Tang said happily. She was satisfied with the style of the clothes she was wearing.
However, there is one regret, that is, the fabric used is Dacron, which is far from the coolness that Rutang imagined.
Rutang originally wanted to use modal, as the material is more drapey and cooler in the summer.
It’s a pity that Modal didn’t exist in that era, and it would take another 20 years for that thing to come out.
Dacron is the most popular fabric nowadays, and most summer clothes are made of it. However, this fabric is not very breathable, and you will sweat if you wear it for a long time, and it is not very effective in absorbing sweat.
But there was no other way. Her family only had 5,000 yuan in start-up capital, and she couldn't find a textile factory to order better materials, so she could only make do with what she had for the time being.
The two mothers have different aesthetic tastes, which led to differences.
Hao Mei thought it was a strange costume, but Xiao Li thought it was pretty good.
But Rutang is very confident. The elders in his family have never watched TV, and their views on clothes are all based on subjective impressions.
This is like a person who has never seen LV's old flowers and does not know the value of this thing. When looking at the LV bag alone, some people may think it looks good, while others may think it is ugly. This is all normal.
Because people's aesthetic tastes are inherently diverse, different education and environments will lead to different perceptions of beauty.
But when people know the value of the LV monogram, when they see this bag again, they will definitely not dare to say it is ugly easily. Even if they think it is not so good-looking, they will add in their hearts that it is so damn expensive. If someone gives you an LV monogram for free, they will carry it even if they think it is ugly.
This is the value of the brand.
In the same way, people who have never seen the bat shirt on Rutang may find it a bit strange, but once they accept the perception that “this is the latest fashion”, “a fashionable and good thing from abroad”, and “the same style as Sachiko”, everyone will wear it.
No matter you like it or not, make yourself the most fashionable guy on the street first!
"By the way, what did the garment factory say? Do we still owe 45,000 yuan?" Hao Mei asked what she was worried about.
Rutang's family invested 5,000 yuan in the early stage, but she and Yu Yaoyang signed a contract for goods worth 50,000 yuan. Now the first batch has come out. According to the contract, they have to pay the second batch of money, which is 20,000 yuan.
Hao Mei has not been sleeping well these days.
She dreamed that her daughter was in a "famine" with debts of more than 40,000 yuan.
"Yes, the payment will be made tomorrow. Brother Yaoyang should be going to the factory to discuss this matter now." Rutang said.
"Your mother-in-law and I have earned more than 800 yuan these days, plus the money we saved for you before, it adds up to 1,000 yuan. You can take it all." Hao Mei was not reserved with her daughter.
Rutang gave her the snack stand. Hao Mei didn't dare spend the money she earned. She saved every penny and reminded herself all the time that she still owed 45,000 yuan to feed the hungry ghosts!
The sooner she helps her child pay off her debts, the sooner she can feel relieved.
"Mom, what can you do with that little money? Just keep it for yourself." Rutang felt amused and touched at the same time.
Although her mother was an ordinary rural woman with no education and no vision, her love for her was genuine and she gave Rutang all the maternal love she could.
"How much money have you two saved?" Seeing that she answered so confidently, Hao Mei thought that Yu Yaoyang had earned enough money.
"I made 1,000 from medicinal herbs and more than 200 from canned food. This is really pure welfare." Rutang sighed, thinking that he was really a good person.
With the current scale of her family's business, exchanging canned goods for agricultural products is truly a mutual aid project to help farmers. It doesn't make much money, it's just a side job.
"It's just over 1,000! Is that because the crab earns a lot?" Hao Mei calculated in her mind. She has to give others 20,000 tomorrow. Her son-in-law only has 1,000 now, plus her 1,000, there is still more than 10,000 short!
She can earn 1,000 yuan by reselling medicinal herbs once. If it weren't for the "bottomless pit" of the garment factory, Hao Mei would think this is a good business. But considering the current situation of her family, it is a drop in the bucket.
"Crabs? I made a lot of money from crabs, but Yaoyang used it all to lend to others."
"What!" Hao Mei was shocked and asked, "Who did you borrow from? My family is in urgent need of money, how can you lend money to someone else?"
