"Okay!" The old lady agreed quietly, "But it's inconvenient during the day with so many people around. Can you go at night?"
Several people looked at each other.
Finally, it was Ning Jia who spoke up: "Auntie, if you have enough cloth and it's worth it for us to stay for one night, then we'll stay for one night."
Her intuition was that the old lady must have a lot of cloth, otherwise, she wouldn't have said that there were too many people around during the day.
If it's just a few pieces of cloth, you can just stuff them into the basket, cover them with something and take them out.
Unless it's BuDengDuo!
Sure enough, the old lady nodded repeatedly: "Enough, worth it!"
The two parties agreed on the place and time and then parted ways. The old lady left first. After almost everyone here had left, they stood up and left the hotel.
afternoon.
The two brothers went shopping in the mall with their wives.
"Wife, you should spend money when you need to. There is no need to be so frugal!" Li Xu saw that An Ye was looking at a pair of small leather shoes. After hesitating for several times, she was reluctant to spend the money.
"You're just talking after the fact. Why didn't you say it just now?" An Ye glared at Li Xu.
"Then let's go now! I support you in buying it!"
"Forget it. Leather shoes are not practical in the village, so I won't buy them. I can save this little money and buy some more cloth tonight."
"That's fine. I always listen to my wife." Li Xu asked for praise with a well-behaved look on his face.
Li Yao saw Ning Jia was always shopping, paying attention to every product but never saying she wanted to buy anything. He thought Ning Jia was reluctant to buy because she thought the things were too expensive, so he said to her, "You can earn money again if you lose it. If you like anything, just buy it."
Ning Jia waved his hand: "I don't have anything I'm interested in. I'm just trying to see if there's anything that's reasonably priced and practical that I can sell in the village."
However, after looking around, there really wasn't anything to buy.
No matter what era it is, the things in this big shopping mall are always more expensive.
It was getting late after we finished shopping in the mall, so we found a noodle shop and each had a bowl of hot beef noodles.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ning Jia and An Ye prepared to go meet the old lady. Li Xu was worried about them going with him, so he followed them from a distance.
Li Yao went to the hospital first. He has been out for a day and doesn't know how Li Yuan is doing.
He was still a little worried about leaving Liang Lanlan alone in the hospital.
At nine o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.
As agreed, they met behind the garment factory. This time, not only the old lady came, but also her daughter-in-law.
"Auntie, where is the cloth?" Ning Jia was quite curious.
These two people clearly came empty-handed, so how could they say that the cloth was worth her keeping for a night?
"Don't worry." The old lady saw her worry and whispered, "You know this is the back of the garment factory, right? Behind this wall is the garment factory's warehouse."
An Ye frowned: "Are you going to take us to steal?"
This is simply outrageous!
Nowadays, if you are caught stealing, the consequence is not just two days in detention.
"Where are you going? If you dare to steal, I won't take you there!" The old lady didn't keep it a secret and said in a low voice, "This warehouse is divided into two parts. One part is high-quality cloth, which is used to make clothes. The other part is waste cloth."
Making clothes in a garment factory naturally requires cutting, and the cut cloth is cleaned and piled together.
Among them, most of the pieces of cloth are quite large. You can pick up a few pieces of cloth of the same color and piece them together to make clothes.
Isn't this much better than putting patches on clothes?
Ning Jia obviously thought of this as well, and nodded repeatedly: "Then how do we get in?"
"In about ten minutes, we'll go around the side door of the garment factory. The warehouse is right there. The person who watches over the warehouse at night is a distant relative of my daughter-in-law! We can pay one dollar each and take whatever we want."
After the old lady finished speaking, her daughter-in-law added: "When the door opens, just follow me. Although you can take whatever you want, there is a time limit. You have to come out in half an hour. If you take too long, you will be easily discovered!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
After the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law finished talking, the four of them quietly moved towards the side door. Ning Jia discovered that there were not only four of them here, but also a few other people there.
"What happened to those people?"
The old lady glanced over there and said, "It's okay. They are just like us. You don't have to worry about them. There are about six people in this factory looking after the warehouse! These people here are basically their relatives! When they ask about you, just say you are my relatives from my mother's side."
Ning Jia nodded, and became vaguely excited.
At the critical moment, An Ye's sense of morality began to emerge again: "Let's do this..."
"Not bad!" The old lady seemed to be able to see through people's minds. She smiled and said, "The final destination of these cloth strips is the mop factory! For ten yuan, you can fill a whole truck! Then make mops and sell them for a few yuan each!"
"Yes!" The old lady's daughter-in-law also worked in this garment factory. She was afraid that Ning Jia and An Ye would have a psychological burden, so she explained in more detail, "These waste cloths are all sent to the mop factory. If there are large pieces of cloth, they will either pick them out and take them away, or pull them into strips to make mops. In addition, some of them will be sent to places like machinery factories to wipe machines and so on! Anyway, the price is very cheap!"
What this means is that if we don’t take it, someone else will.
We can use the cloth we got, and it can also provide an extra income for the worker who looks after the warehouse, so it's a win-win situation.
Ning Jiayi was ready to fight. She squeezed An Ye's hand and said, "Ye Ye, don't worry about it. Our values are positive!"
"Yes, the three values are correct! If the three values are not correct, how can you have such thoughts as whether I am immoral or not?"
"Uh-huh!"
The old lady listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You are evil people! The fact that you let my grandson have this meal today proves that you are not bad people!"
"Look, Auntie has said so! Don't worry about it!" Ning Jia patted An Ye's hand.
"The door is open!" The old lady glanced at the side door and hurriedly called out to the two people, "Come on, follow closely! Time is running out, go in and take as much as you can! Don't worry, I will help you!"
After saying that, the old lady stuffed a snakeskin bag into each of Ning Jia and An Ye's hands and said, "Let's go!"
