By the time they finished preparing, it was already afternoon. With the experience from the previous session, the two of them easily got the hang of it and sold until dark.
The stalls along the street gradually lit up their own light bulbs.
What a miscalculation!
Zhou Hongyu clapped her hands in frustration.
The last time I came to this street to sell clothes, Chen Zhaodi sold out before dark and went home for dinner at this time.
The dim lighting had a significant impact, and Chen Zhaodi strained her eyes to see more clearly. She managed to ask in a moment of distraction, "This won't do. Should we still sell?"
Business is so good, she can't bear to go back.
The quality and style of these goods are even better than the goods that were originally brought back from the garment factory.
Moreover, they were all given away for free by Zhou Hongyu's relatives; as long as they were sold, there would be a profit.
If it's about commission, of course the more you sell, the better.
Chen Zhaodi silently agreed in her heart that Zhou Hongyu was lucky, and following her would surely bring many similar opportunities to make money in the future.
Looking at the endless stream of people squeezing in, Zhou Hongyu sighed, "Let's go back. We weren't prepared enough today. We'll definitely need to make better plans for tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Chen Zhaodi nodded and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Ladies and gentlemen, we'll stop here for today. We're in a hurry to get back for dinner. Anyone who wants to buy something, come and pay. We're leaving now!"
This statement provoked public outrage.
This clothing store has beautiful and fashionable clothes; it's the only one on the whole street, but it's expensive!
Young people typically earn only twenty or thirty yuan a month, so spending more than ten yuan on a piece of clothing is an incredibly difficult task, requiring careful consideration and comparison.
"What's going on with your business? Is this how you do business? You're actively chasing customers away! Your words are useless! Wait a little longer!"
“I’ll buy one more. If you run away now, I’ll bring my colleagues to cause you trouble tomorrow!”
"Oh dear, we're closing up shop now. Can you give us a discount? Your clothes are nice, but ridiculously expensive..."
This took another half hour, until Zhou's cousin's family came out of the dry goods store to help collect the goods, and only then could Zhou Hongyu and her team leave amidst the lingering complaints of the customers.
After finishing tidying up, Chen Zhaodi came out of the dry goods store and stood at the door, glancing at the stars that filled the night sky. When she came to her senses, she was startled.
"Zhou Hongyu, we're doomed! They've probably already finished their dinner at home by now. How are we going to explain this when we get back?!"
Zhou Hongyu wasn't worried about any of that. Not many people dared to come up to her and cause trouble. She just made up a reason to appease Chen Zhaodi: "Just say you're working overtime. No one will suspect anything anyway!"
Chen Zhaodi thought for a moment and nodded. Yes, that's a good reason!
When the two returned home, they immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as they entered the house.
The usually bustling courtyard was unusually quiet. The light bulb hanging in front of the kitchen door was lit, casting a yellow glow that foreshadowed the unusual atmosphere.
The parents-in-law looked over coldly when they heard the sound.
Chen Zhaodi felt guilty and stopped, unable to step over the threshold.
Zhou Hongyu was incredibly bold, walking confidently into the house.
Chen Zhaodi was taken aback, and whispered from behind, "Zhou Hongyu..."
The way you're doing this makes it seem like I'm the mastermind!
Old Chang was furious when he saw his two daughters-in-law returning home late. He thought they just had bad tempers, but he never expected they would do something like this. They quit their jobs and became self-employed individuals that everyone dislikes!
If it weren't for the third son's wife reminding them, they would have been kept in the dark until after the fact!
"Eldest son's wife, second son's wife, do you two know what you did wrong!"
Unable to contain herself any longer, Chen Zhaodi immediately tried to admit, "Yes, yes..."
Zhou Hongyu, however, remained unfazed and said, "Who shameless person would fabricate rumors in front of you two!"
Sun Yanxia was hiding in the room, peeking at the battle through the window. Hearing this, she wanted to tear the mattress under her buttocks to shreds.
Who's shameless!
Hearing Zhou Hongyu's words, did the Chang family elders suspect there was another hidden story?
"I knew it! You two are such good daughters-in-law of the Chang family, you would never do such a thing!" With these words, Granny Chang lifted the two of them down the steps.
Chen Zhaodi glanced at her father-in-law. If he was easy to fool, then this matter would be over.
Old Chang wasn't stupid; he only believed it to a certain extent.
He looked at his two daughters-in-law sternly and said, “What do you mean by fabricating rumors? Someone can see right through it all. You two are so audacious, go and become self-employed clothing vendors on the street!”
Zhou Hongyu's eyes reddened instantly. She looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, her voice filled with sorrow and despair: "Dad, now that things have come to this, do you really have to reopen my wounds?"
Old Man Chang: Huh? What's wrong with you? Did you do something wrong, or did I do something wrong?
“The Wu family’s affairs are my biggest worry, and I can’t keep putting off the wedding! This time, a relative introduced us to some work and asked us to help out. I know everyone dislikes self-employed people, but for my good-for-nothing son, I have to swallow my pride and earn money…”
Zhou Hongyu was halfway through her complaint when the door to the room was suddenly opened.
Chang Shuying and Chang Meiying ran out crying, one hugging the leg and the other hugging the waist.
Crying and sobbing.
"Mom, we're here for you. Don't do anything foolish!"
Second brother is bad, second brother is the worst!
Zhou Hongyu held her two little daughters and secretly chuckled to herself. Of course she knew her daughters were good, although she didn't know how long their goodness would last. She would enjoy it for as long as possible, which was much better than those two troublesome debtors who could drive her crazy.
Zhou Hongyu released her two daughters and rushed to Sun Yanxia's room. She kicked the door open and dragged Sun Yanxia, who was hiding inside, into the yard.
“Sun Yanxia, what have I done to offend you? You shouldn’t have come to me first to ask about this. Instead, you made a scene in front of your in-laws. Don’t you think about how worried they must be after hearing your three parts truth and seven parts falsehood? What are you up to!”
