Xie Li covered her face and cried sadly.
Ye Xiaozhen said, "Think about it again. If Zhang Jianhua told you from the beginning that you should not support Xie Linan's education but support him instead, and asked you to have a child with him without getting married, and to take care of his parents, would you be willing to be with him?"
Xie Li shook her head in regret, "No, if I had known this earlier, I would never have been with him."
This is also a kind of PUA, which is very scary.
Often by the time the victim discovers himself, he is already deeply trapped and unable to save himself.
Too much silence can drive people crazy.
Hongxia was sitting on a small bench nearby, looking at them with her beautiful big eyes.
Xie Li wiped away her tears and patted her head. "Hongxia, you have to be smarter. Don't learn from your mother. If you feel sorry for a man, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life."
A child of her age knows everything. She hugged Xie Li tightly.
…
School started in a few days, and Hongxia went to a nearby primary school.
It was not far away, and all the children in the village went there by themselves, but Lin Xinghua was worried that Hongxia was not familiar with the people and would be bullied, so he insisted on picking her up and dropping her off every day.
He said that since he was free, he might as well take a walk to get better health.
Seeing him limping, Ye Xiaozhen remembered the kind of shoes she had mentioned to Xie Linan before.
"Do you know where I can get shoes made nearby?"
"Do you want to buy shoes?" Xie Linan asked.
"It's not me. Didn't I tell you last time that Grandpa needed a pair of custom-made shoes?"
Xie Linan suddenly realized, "I forget when I get busy."
"Tell me where it is and I'll go."
Xie Linan thought for a moment and said, "Then come with me tomorrow, we'll be there."
"Okay." Ye Xiaozhen took out the ruler from home and said, "Use it to measure the size of Grandpa's feet and the length of his two legs. See how much shorter they are and measure more accurately."
"OK."
Xie Linan took the ruler and went out to the opposite room to find his grandfather.
After a while, he came back with a piece of paper with a drawing of a footboard, with all the dimensions clearly marked.
"My left leg is six centimeters shorter. I don't know if it will work."
Ye Xiaozhen remembered where she had seen it before. Generally, people with a left leg length of more than two centimeters will develop a limp.
If it is more than five centimeters, it meets the standard of disability.
In fact, you don't have to get shoes with a difference of six centimeters. Four or five centimeters will be enough. You have to adapt slowly.
"Get some height-enhancing shoes," she said.
Xie Linan thought for a moment and said, "You mean high heels?"
"That's about right."
"The sole of this shoe has to be... this high?" Xie Linan asked in embarrassment, "Is this okay?"
"Five or six centimeters is nothing. My wedding shoes are nine centimeters."
He didn't understand this either. He always wore green rubber shoes with completely white soles.
I don't know if such a thick sole will affect walking.
The next day, Ye Xiaozhen went out with Xie Linan. With his job, it was okay to go a little late, and it wasn't late.
Driving her slowly to the construction site.
The foundation is being dug at the construction site and the air is filled with dust.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and talk to them."
"good."
Xie Linan parked his bike on the side of the road, trotted in, and came out after a while.
"I've told them, let's go."
Xie Linan took her to an old street where there were many shoe craftsmen.
There are people who make leather shoes and there are people who make leather shoes.
Ye Xiaozhen found a shoe store and looked at a pair of fashionable thick-soled shoes.
The shoemakers were a middle-aged couple. They saw her holding the thick-soled shoes and started talking to her.
"Girl, these shoes are comfortable to wear and the uppers are beautiful. They are all hand-embroidered with flowers. Do you want me to give you a pair to try?"
"How much is a pair of shoes like this?"
"The one you like has more embroidery, so you get two pieces."
Two dollars of embroidered shoes, purely handmade, will be worth a lot in a few years.
But it is different now. Industrial leather shoes are expensive, labor is not as valuable as machines, and hand-embroidered shoes are cheap.
Because many women can make them themselves and don't spend money on buying shoes.
A pair of embroidered shoes costs two dollars, which is expensive even now.
Ye Xiaozhen looked at it for a while and then asked, "Do you make custom shoes?"
"We can make it to order, but it can't be returned and it's a bit more expensive. What do you want?"
Ye Xiaozhen took out the paper Xie Linan had drawn last night and said, "According to this size, I want to make a pair of shoes with different heights. Do you think it's okay?"
"Ah?" The other party was a little confused.
Ye Xiaozhen explained: "The two legs of the wearer are not the same length, so one leg needs a thick sole and the other needs a thin sole. I hope the insole is made inside the shoe so that it looks as similar as possible from the outside."
After she explained it this way, the other party understood.
“Is this shoe size men’s?”
"Yes."
"Okay, I understand." She looked at the size carefully and said, "The left leg is six centimeters shorter, so the left side should be six centimeters higher than the left side, right?"
Ye Xiaozhen said: "Five or six centimeters is fine. Generally, if the difference in length between the two legs exceeds two centimeters, it will cause lameness."
The elder sister smiled and said, "Girl, you really know a lot."
Ye Xiaozhen smiled and said nothing.
She then asked me what materials were needed to make the shoes, as well as various details, and finally determined the price.
"I'll charge you 꺘굛 for this pair of shoes."
What?
It's just a pair of shoes, and the men's version doesn't have embroidery, so it's very expensive.
Xie Linan's face was not looking good. If Ye Xiaozhen hadn't been there, he would have probably scolded her several times.
Ye Xiaozhen said: "Big sister, this is too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"
The eldest sister said in embarrassment: "Girl, the two shoes you want are different. We have to make them separately, which will definitely cost more."
Xie Linan next to him couldn't help but point to a pair of men's shoes next to him and asked, "How much is this pair?"
Eldest sister: "This is the bottom."
"I know, I'm buying it for myself, my legs are the same length."
"Is that so? Then just give me eight dollars."
"Cheaper."
"Well... since you want to order it in my shop, I'll give you seven bucks."
He bought the shoes for seven yuan.
Then she pointed to another pair of women's platform shoes without embroidery and asked, "What about this one?"
"This one without embroidery is cheaper, 10 yuan."
"Two doubles equals seven, right?"
"right."
"Give me one pair of four in one size, one high and one low. Two dollars. Do you want to sell it?"
Eldest sister: “…”
Ye Xiaozhen silently gave him a thumbs up.
"Young man, you..."
"Don't give me this and that. White soles for seven dollars, thick soles for five dollars, right? I want a pair of white soles and a pair of thick soles, and I give you two dollars. You still make five dollars more, right?"
The elder sister was speechless and convinced.
I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out exactly what it was.
"Okay, then you want two-for-two, right?"
"Yes, make me two pairs according to this size, one high and one low, and I'll give you two yuan."
