This shout was not a big deal, as people who had no interest originally also gathered around - everyone knows that cotton is a rare commodity, and it is warm to wear!
Originally, a set of winter clothes with fine stitching and thick fabric is considered a good thing, and if it is filled with cotton, it is even a "top luxury item" that is hard to come by for ordinary people!
Therefore, Yang, who made these clothes, and the young girls and wives behind her became the objects of everyone's gratitude.
Later, someone said, "If it weren't for the 'benefits' given to us by Manager Su, how could we have such nice clothes?" So everyone came over and started to thank Su Qingluan.
After a chaotic commotion, Su Qingluan asked two male and female workers of medium build to try on two sets of winter clothes respectively.
The layout of the simple "male and female dormitories" on the second floor had not been changed much. After the curtain was pulled, both sides changed their clothes and came out. Su Qingluan asked them to imitate large movements as much as possible.
The two chosen ones knew that style wasn't the most important thing about winter clothing; warmth and ease of movement were paramount. For a moment, the two of them acted like street performers, high-kicking, somersaults, and whatever else they could muster.
Su Qingluan even wondered if it was a waste of talent for these two to work under her - they should be performing acrobatics on the streets and earning a lot of money from tips, right?
After a series of "tests," both found their underarms to be a bit tight when doing large movements, such as raising their arms or swinging them back and forth. The woman trying on the clothes was also a bit concerned about the style for her child.
"Children change every day. In just a few months, they'll be a lot bigger. Madam Su is so kind to let the children of the beneficiaries wear such nice clothes, but I'm afraid they won't fit them soon..."
Yang smiled and said, "I folded in the cuffs and trouser legs, especially for children's sizes. This way, even if the child grows a little, they can still wear them for a while. And adults don't have to buy new clothes when their body shapes change slightly."
Then, Yang asked if there were any other requirements for the version or style. Everyone talked about it at once, and Yang wrote down all the details regardless of whether it was possible or not.
In fact, everyone just said it casually, and the question of whether there were any decorative patterns was just for fun. However, Yang's meticulousness in writing down all opinions first won the favor of many people, which led to more people asking her to do housework later.
Of course, this is a later story.
Here, Su Qingluan got along well with everyone, but some people were not very happy - who else could this person be but Wu Erman?
Because he was always lazy and dragging others down, this person was very unpopular. Especially when he was "transferred" by Su Qingluan to do odd jobs for Su Qingluan, not only did he lose the opportunity to slack off, but his relationship with everyone became more distant.
This time, Wu Er watched everyone laughing and playing with resentment. He could only watch from the side because no one paid any attention to him. His indignation became more obvious: Why was he the only one who suffered such humiliation?
Some people are like this. When they are supposed to work hard, they think of slacking off. When others criticize them, they feel that they have been wronged. When they are ignored by everyone because of their lack of progress and effort, they feel that others are treating them differently and blame everyone else.
I have never reflected on what mistakes I made.
Of course, people like Wu Erman don’t think there is anything wrong with his lazy behavior - he just works "slowly". In Wu Erman's view, the Su family is so rich, so what's the big deal about having someone like him who doesn't work?
So he never felt that he "deserved it", but rather that he was "targeted".
What made Wu Erman even more aggrieved was that even when his elder sister saw him being ordered around like a top by Su Qingluan while working, she never spoke a word for her younger brother, nor did she offer to help him with any work.
Especially when he thought about the fact that Wu Dani and her group had received the "benefit" for the second time, Wu Erman felt even more aggrieved - he got the benefit and didn't care about the life or death of his own brother!
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. After work that day, he went to Hu Laoliu's place to drink alone.
But Hu Laoliu didn't let him get drunk this time. Instead, after just one or two sips, he raised his voice and ordered his wife, "Don't lie there. Let's talk, old men. Get out!"
Hu Laoliu's wife was a timid and introverted woman. She naturally didn't like being outside in the cold weather. But she also knew that if she displeased Hu Laoliu, she would be punished and beaten, so she only dared to complain a few words and turned to walk out.
Although Wu Erman was a useless wimp, he also had some cleverness—otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to avoid being caught. So when he saw Hu Laoliu kicking his wife out, he figured he must have something to say to him that was inconvenient to say in front of a third person.
Although he didn't think Hu Laoliu could come up with anything good, Wu Erman also put the wine glass aside and glanced to the side. Seeing that Hu Laoliu's wife had already left, he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Hu, why did you specifically send my sister-in-law out? What do you want to say?"
Hu Laoliu also lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Have you been displeased with that damn girl from the Su family for a long time?"
In fact, the surname "Su" is not a particularly rare surname. Moreover, there are three families with the surname "Su" and girls in Huaxi Village, but they live far away from each other and are relatively scattered.
But Wu Erman understood almost instantly who Hu Laoliu was talking about.
Wu Erman was no fool, and he knew that Hu Laoliu had also wanted to work at Su Ji a while ago, but ended up getting beaten up - he was standing in the corner at the time, watching the show with relish.
What? You say he and Hu Laoliu were drinking buddies, how could he just stand by and watch the fun? What a joke! If he "stood up," what if he got fired too? You know, even judging by the daily wages, Su Ji was making a lot of money.
The half month he worked at Su Ji was equivalent to what he would have earned from doing odd jobs for a year or two, excluding farming!
Of course, even with such favorable conditions, Wu Erman never considered working hard. In his words, why bother to stand up when you can make money lying down?
However, what he didn't expect was that although Su Qingluan didn't have any direct evidence of his laziness and couldn't fire him "without evidence", she had a trick up her sleeve. She directly cut off his financial support and made him work as a laborer under her nose, eliminating all possibilities for him to be lazy.
As the saying goes, "alcohol gives cowards courage", and Wu Erman also heard Hu Laoliu's hatred for Su Qingluan, so he gradually began to curse.
