Chapter 78 You must have taken Brother Cheng Yan’s money
The good relationships that Gu Wanxing had just established with the people around him in the morning were broken by a few words from Zhao Yanling.
It was lunchtime rush hour and there were many people around the snack stand. Zhao Yanling's shouting soon attracted a lot of onlookers.
The moment Gu Wanxing turned around, Zhao Yanling's gloating eyes suddenly widened.
She just heard from people in the factory that Gu Wanxing was setting up a stall here, but she didn't expect that this bitch would become so beautiful. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the refreshed Gu Wanxing. The more she looked, the more frightened she became, and her teeth were almost broken with jealousy.
Why? Why can a woman who has given birth to a child be so beautiful? She is already a woman, but she still looks like a little girl.
Gu Wanxing could tell what she was thinking from her resentful eyes. After all, she was an unmarried young person with little experience in the world, and her thoughts were almost all written on her face.
"Who am I supposed to be? It's you. You said you're almost thirty years old, but instead of working hard to get married, you're always thinking about your distant brother's family affairs. Are you busy?"
Gu Wanxing's voice was like a leaf fluttering in the wind, and his contemptuous eyes were like needles piercing Zhao Yanli's heart.
Her blood almost froze, and her face flushed red with embarrassment because of the words she said, "thirty-something" and "old girl".
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Where did I say that? We can't live together anymore and are getting divorced. What's your business? If I want you to give me orders, aren't you even married yet? You've got too much salt and too little time, what else is that?"
Gu Wanxing was neither hurried nor impatient, and there was even a calm smile in his eyes.
Zhao Yanli was so angry that she wanted to go up and scratch the person.
She hated it most when people said she was clumsy, and she also hated it most when people said she couldn't get married.
Zhao Yanli is the same age as Gu Wanxing this year. She is average looking, but she has very high standards. If someone wants to marry her, he has to pay three turns and sixteen legs, plus a dowry of one thousand.
His nickname in the village is Zhao Yiqian. No matter who mentions the name Zhao Yiqian, he will definitely shake his head like a rattle.
"Gu Wanxing—don't try to change my mind. I just haven't met the right person. It's not something shameful. My brother Chengyan's house was robbed and he couldn't even make ends meet. Yet you abandoned your husband and daughter, decisively divorced him, and lived a carefree life. What's the point of this? You have no conscience! You can only enjoy the good times but not the bad times. You cheap bastard, bah—"
Zhao Yanli originally thought that Gu Wanxing couldn't make it, so she came out to watch the fun during dinner time.
Who would have thought that she would set up such a big stall? How much does it cost?
Looking at the beautiful skirts fluttering in the wind, and then at Gu Wanxing's dazzling appearance, she was so angry that her chest heaved violently and she felt like she could hardly breathe.
Gu Wanxing looked at her with amusement. How could she, nowadays, be affected by a few words of gossip?
She really thought it was funny.
Thinking so, I did so, smiling with a mouthful of white teeth.
People around them were pointing fingers at the two of them, and of course they talked more about Gu Wanxing, as divorce was not common these days.
Divorce is even less common when men are in the most difficult times.
So for a while, she became the focus of everyone's discussion.
"Whether I have a conscience or not is none of your business. Please move aside and stop embarrassing yourself here. Are you a toad?"
"What do you mean."
"If you don't bite, you'll just annoy people."
As Gu Wanxing finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out from the crowd.
"Hahaha--"
"Toads don't bite, they just annoy people. Hahaha."
Zhao Yanli stamped her feet and glared at Gu Wanxing with resentment: "You, you are the toad. I'm going to tell Brother Chengyan where did you get all these clothes? You must have taken Brother Chengyan's money, otherwise, based on your salary, where would you get the money to buy these? Humph~"
Since she can't afford these clothes, she can forget about having an easy life.
After all, she is an unmarried girl and is thin-skinned. She can't bear being called a toad and just runs away after being laughed at a few times.
Gu Wanxing looked at Zhao Yanli's back as she fled in panic and shook her head with amusement. She had already thought of a way out. Since she dared to set up this stall in the town, she was naturally not afraid of anyone questioning the funds.
She did all this to Gu Tianming just to wait for him to give her some protection.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a thankless task. Her scumbag father is very concerned about his reputation. If she said that the money was given by him, he would definitely nod and agree immediately.
After all, he is a father. He gave his divorced daughter money to open a store. It is something that will bring honor to him, so he will definitely not refuse it.
"Ya Dan, are you divorced?"
Soon, someone nearby who felt familiar with Gu Wanxing came forward curiously to inquire.
Gu Wanxing smiled bitterly: "Yes, we are divorced."
Those who came forward to listen to the gossip saw her embarrassed face and knew that there was something else going on, so many people started to ask questions regardless of whether they were familiar with her or not.
You and I were talking back and forth, both asking about the reason for the divorce.
Gu Wanxing picked out everything he could say about Zhao Chengyan and Gu Yuerou and told them all as a lively story.
This sentiment was so well expressed that the lady at the wonton stall felt the same way and immediately took out 15 yuan to buy a skirt for her daughter.
The purchase price of this skirt was only ten yuan, and she originally wanted to ask for twenty yuan. However, when she learned that she was also abandoned by a man and had to raise a daughter in junior high school alone, she just named a price.
She had quoted a price for these clothes before, so when Sister Wonton knew that Gu Wanxing had given her a discount, she simply waved her hand and told her directly that she would pay for tomorrow's lunch.
A bowl of wontons costs 80 cents, and the elder sister is really bleeding a lot of money. She only earns 8 or 10 yuan that day.
Gu Wanxing was very grateful. Sometimes the fate between people is so special.
When others talk about Gu Wanxing, this elder sister will speak up for her.
In the afternoon, due to Zhao Yanli's disturbance, not much was sold, only one pair of pants.
However, when Gu Wanxing was closing her stall in the evening, a group of colleagues came to the garment factory. These were workers from the second workshop, and she was only familiar with them by face.
But they said that they were introduced by Feng Chunli. Since they were people from the garment factory, she couldn't charge more money even if they were not introduced.
Because the wages in garment factories were so low, in the 1970s, employees in garment factories only earned about 30 yuan.
Then she worked in the factory for seven years but her salary remained the same and never increased.
If the price is too high, no one will buy it.
It is still painful for them to buy a set of clothes with a month's salary, but the prices are like this now.
The basic salary of workers in the city is now around 100 yuan. Technical workers like Zhao Chengyan earn around 120 to 130 yuan.
But this is a town after all, and the garment factory is also known as the welfare factory. As the name suggests, it is a welfare for the women in the town, and they are willing to work there even if the salary is lower.
There are no factories in other towns.
During this wave of traffic, she sold two sets of her own silk tops and half-length skirts.
Wear a small white vest under the shirt, open a few buttons, and roll up the collar to the shoulders to reveal the vest straps inside.
Another way to wear it is to tuck one side of the front lapel into the skirt, or you can fasten the lapel in a wrong way and cross it around your waist.
This outfit has texture because the top is made of silk. Although this silk is not as good as georgette, it is not bad either. In the future, one piece of this would cost thousands of dollars.
It’s only twenty dollars now.
The purchase price was fifteen yuan, and she made five yuan for each piece, and six yuan for the skirt.
She was not satisfied with earning eleven yuan per set.
Although she was a little greedy, she still felt that it was most satisfying to sell the pants she found at a bargain price.
But she also knew that she couldn't eat a fat man in one go, so she also sold two sets of jeans and bat shirts.
It was an unexpected gain.
At the intersection, the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky red.
The snack stalls around her started to get busy again. Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Wanxing packed up the stalls.
She pushed the cart straight through the market and bought some meat from the meat stall. Today was her first day trying it out and she thought it was pretty good, so she decided to make some shredded pork noodles in the evening to reward herself.
Unexpectedly, the boss had just handed her the meat and before she could hang the handlebars, someone patted her shoulder lightly.
