Not long after Feng Jingrou left, Fu Hongmei and Zhou Cuifen also went to the county town.
Fu Hongmei went to buy wedding supplies for Qin Yunjiao, and Zhou Cuifen went shopping with her since she had nothing to do.
I spent half a day strolling around the pedestrian street, buying a bright red brocade quilt cover, a pair of red Double Happiness kettles, a mirror printed with the red Double Happiness pattern, and an enamel basin, and all the money I had with me was gone.
Fu Hongmei gave up the idea of shopping and wanted to go to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation, but Zhou Cuifen happily walked into a sweater shop.
"Sister-in-law, look how beautiful this sweater is. Buy one for Jiaojiao to wear when she gets married. She will definitely be the most beautiful bride in our Huaihua Village!" Zhou Cuifen pointed at a pink sweater hanging on the wall, her eyes shining with love. She said that Qin Yunjiao looked good in it, but in her heart she was thinking how nice it would be if she had one to wear.
Without waiting for Fu Hongmei to respond, she asked the boss, "How much is this sweater?"
The boss, a plump middle-aged woman, greeted her warmly: "Big sister, you have good taste. This sweater is knitted by our best craftsman. The price is 55 yuan. If you really want it, I'll give it to you for 52 yuan."
When they heard the price, the two sisters-in-law opened their mouths wide at the same time.
Fu Hongmei: "How much?"
Zhou Cuifen: "Robbery?"
Upon hearing this, Fat Sister became unhappy and frowned.
"If you two think it's too expensive, feel free to look in other stores. If you can find a sweater made of better material and with better craftsmanship than mine, I'll give it to you for free!"
Pangjie only makes mid-to-high-end sweaters and is very confident in the quality of her sweaters.
It’s not a problem if you don’t know the goods, but it’s a problem if you compare the goods. Many customers will walk around the pedestrian street for a long time and finally come back to buy sweaters from Pangjie.
Zhou Cuifen wanted to argue a little more, but Fatty was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Fu Hongmei looked at the sweater on the wall, thoughtfully.
"Boss, can I meet the knitter who knitted this sweater?" she asked in a low voice.
The first time she saw this sweater, she felt it looked familiar, very similar to the one Feng Jingrou had knitted before.
Fatty was stunned, not understanding what she was going to do.
"What a coincidence! My chef is not in the store today."
Even if Feng Jingrou was in the store, she would not be allowed to be seen by outsiders to prevent being poached by competitors.
Fu Hongmei suddenly stepped forward and leaned close to Fatty's ear and asked, "Boss, let's not mince words. I'm just asking you, is your chef's last name Feng? Feng Jingrou?!"
Fat Sister is so numb.
"Do you know her?"
Could it be that he has already set his sights on Xiao Feng and is planning to poach him?!
Fu Hongmei knew she had guessed correctly and immediately said with a smile: "Oh, I'm her sister-in-law."
He then took Zhou Cuifen aside to introduce her.
"This is her second sister-in-law."
Hearing her say this, Fat Sister thought that Feng Jingrou had told them about knitting sweaters, so she didn't think about it anymore.
But what she never expected was that Fu Hongmei actually dared to ask for the sweater on credit.
"Oh, I came here today to buy my daughter's dowry. I bought too many things and spent all the money I brought. But I really want this sweater. How about this, I take the sweater home first, and when Feng Jingrou comes in a few days, I'll ask her to send the money to you. Is that okay with you?"
Fat Sister is a shrewd businessman. When she heard this, she immediately refused.
Even the workers who were knitting sweaters in the store couldn't help but look at Fu Hongmei again, their eyes full of contempt.
A high-end sweater worth 50 yuan, can you buy it on credit?
He also asked Xiao Feng to send money. It’s hard to say whether Xiao Feng knew about this!
"Sister-in-law, how about this? My shop doesn't sell on credit. If you really want it, I'll keep it for you. Just bring the money tomorrow to buy it."
Fat Sister is active in business and never says anything final. Even if she looks down on Fu Hongmei, she will never show it.
Fu Hongmei made the excuse that her daughter was getting married and would be very busy, so she had no time to come to the county town again.
Fat Sister: "Then ask Xiao Feng to come over and bring the knitted sweaters to check out. Then ask her to take a few more back."
"Xiao Feng's sweater is the best-selling sweater in our store. There is only one left."
Fu Hongmei couldn't say anything else and could only nod awkwardly. Before leaving, she asked Pang Jie, how much labor fee can Feng Jingrou get for knitting a sweater?
Fat Sister didn't hide it from her.
"Five dollars."
The two sisters-in-law walked out of the sweater store and were stunned for a long time.
"Did I hear correctly? Feng Jingrou makes five dollars knitting sweaters?!" Zhou Cuifen took a long time to sort out her thoughts, gritting her teeth in anger. "No wonder my brother said she hasn't been to the mine to load trucks recently. It turns out she has other ways to make money!"
Fu Hongmei: "That's right, she was already knitting a sweater the day I fell on my head. Feng Jingrou has really changed. She keeps saying that she treats us like family, but she didn't even tell us about such a great way to make money!"
Zhou Cuifen suddenly understood.
"Yeah, knitting makes so much money, we can make money knitting too!"
Fu Hongmei glanced at her with disdain: "The sweaters hanging in the store just now have unusual patterns. Can you knit them?"
Zhou Cuifen thought about it carefully, then suddenly became dispirited and shook her head, saying no.
Fu Hongmei: "So, if you want to make a lot of money, you must first establish a good relationship with Feng Jingrou and learn the skills."
The two sisters-in-law hit it off and went straight to the county public security bureau.
They agreed that after Feng Jingrou signed the letter of understanding and brought her parents-in-law out, they would force her parents-in-law to apologize to Feng Jingrou immediately.
Feng Jingrou is a soft-hearted person. As long as they say a few words for her, she will put aside her past grudges and teach them everything she knows.
However, the sisters-in-law's wishful thinking failed.
The two of them squatted at the door of the Public Security Bureau until dark, but Feng Jingrou never showed up.
That’s all for later.
