Next, let’s talk about Binbin’s studies.
Ever since Binbin lived with his grandparents for a while last year and became a wild monkey, Xia Ruzheng brought him to the provincial capital. Usually, the couple manages to run the store and take care of the child at the same time. Binbin also thinks the provincial capital is fun, so he is willing to stay. However, this year Binbin has reached school age, and the couple plans to keep Binbin in his hometown to study. Although Xia Ruqian is reluctant to let him go, his household registration is in his hometown, so he can only let Binbin go home to study. The procedures for studying in the provincial capital are too complicated.
Xia Ruqian expressed her support for her sister to move her household registration there. Apart from anything else, she was very experienced in the issue of children going to school. If she had the ability to move her household registration to the provincial capital, she would definitely keep Binbin in the provincial capital to study. The schools in the provincial capital are better, the teachers are more qualified, and it is better for children.
Finally, Xia Ruqian talked about Xia Juan'er. Xia Juan'er got married earlier than the other two and gave birth to a child earlier, but she only had one daughter so far, so her life was not easy. Her mother-in-law disliked her husband and was not considerate. The couple often had conflicts. Moreover, her daughter had reached school age a long time ago, but she had never gone because her husband's family thought it was useless for girls to go to school. If she wanted to go to school, Xia Juan'er had to give birth to a son and send him to school.
Xia Ruzheng had only met Xia Juan'er's in-laws when she got married. They seemed like honest people then, but he hadn't expected them to be so patriarchal. With the advent of national policies, many people still believed sons were better than daughters, but they weren't afraid to send their children to school. They would go when it was time, unless their families were too poor to afford it.
Xia Ruzheng also sighed for Xia Juaner. Xia Juaner had a gentle temperament and spoke softly. She was too soft-hearted and could only endure being bullied. However, Xia Ruzheng also knew that Xia Juaner was actually quite stubborn and could endure hardships.
After some thought, Xia Ruzheng wrote two letters, one to his sister and one to his father, explaining his recent situation. Wen Zhichao had probably already mentioned the pregnancy, so she'd only mentioned it briefly. Regarding his nephew's schooling, Xia Ruzheng suggested that he wait and see how Binbin fared. If he was okay, he could stay in the countryside and study. After two years, when policies were more relaxed and conditions improved, he could bring him back. As for Xia Juan'er, Xia Ruzheng could only ask his sister to help with some care, giving her some money and other things. After all, they were childhood friends, and he couldn't bear not to help. However, Xia Ruzheng himself was too far away.
Xia Ruzheng always felt that although everyone has their own destiny, it is not determined by heaven or others, and she could not interfere with Xia Juaner's fate.
While Xia Ruzheng was resting and taking care of her pregnancy, Wen Zhichao was ready to sharpen his knife. He originally thought he could take it slow, but now he was so angry that he didn't want to take it slow at all.
In fact, Wen Zhichao originally wanted to send the boss to jail, but then he thought that doing it all at once would not be exciting or satisfying enough.
After having someone investigate all of Shengli's clients, Wen Zhichao sent someone to talk business with those clients.
Shengli is now unable to supply goods to the department store. The people who come to him to buy goods are basically small shop owners who buy a hundred or two hundred pieces at a time.
Some shop owners, upon hearing the favorable terms, thought they were better value than Victory and so severed ties with Victory, switching to Lancome. Others were less enthusiastic, but Wen Zhichao, without further ado, simply opened a shop nearby, challenging them. "I have favorable prices, a well-known brand, decent quality, and attractive designs. I don't believe I can't compete with you."
Gradually, Shengli lost most of its customers, and the remaining few were struggling, with declining delivery volume, while some simply closed down. Still others were completely low-priced, low-end brands, and Wen Zhichao let them go, as they were simply no match.
Despite this, Shengli's performance is getting worse day by day. Even if those low-end stores come to pick up goods, they cannot stop Shengli's decline, because these small stores do not pick up large quantities of goods and the prices are not high. The profits they earn are not enough to pay salaries, let alone anything else.
