The person who came was none other than Li's mother.

Mother Li walked in a few steps with a smile, stood at the gate, and said, "Sister Han, you are drying the quilt."

Mother Shen had just finished drying the quilts, so she walked over and said with a smile, "Yes! The weather is nice today, so it will be more comfortable to take out the quilts and dry them before covering yourself with them."

Li's mother said, "That's right! The quilt will be soft after being exposed to the sun, so it must be comfortable to cover yourself with.

This quilt hasn't been exposed to the sun for a long time! It's easy for bugs to grow on it. "

Mother Li turned her gaze to Shen Jiaojiao again and said with a smile, "Your Jiaojiao is getting prettier."

Mother Shen also glanced at her daughter and said proudly, "Yes! I don't know how this girl looks like this. She doesn't look like us at all."

Mother Li said politely, "Sister Han, don't be so modest. You and Professor Shen are both good-looking, and the children you give birth to will all be top-notch."

Mother Shen laughed and said, "You are really good at talking."

Seeing that they had almost finished chatting, Li's mother quickly got to the point.

"Han sister, to be honest, I came here today to see you...your little girl."

Shen Jiaojiao immediately rushed over, leaned on Mother Shen's shoulder and asked, "Auntie Li, you're looking for me?"

Mother Li praised Shen Jiaojiao again before getting down to business.

"It's like this. Mr. Shen has been wearing a pair of cotton shoes when he walks around the compound. Now everyone in the compound is very envious of Mr. Shen and they all want to have a pair of cotton shoes like his.

Mr. Shen said that the cotton shoes on his feet were made by you, and that your craftsmanship is particularly good, so I want to ask you, are you willing to make a pair of cotton shoes for all of us? Don't worry, we won't let you do it for free, we will pay you the full amount."

Shen Jiaojiao was embarrassed.

How could she make cotton shoes?

Grandpa is such a jerk. Now he is fine, right? He was just bragging too much!

Regardless of whether Shen Jiaojiao could do it or not, Shen's mother directly refused, "Sister! I'm really sorry, my daughter is pregnant and it's not suitable for her to do these things now. After all, making a pair of cotton shoes is laborious, and I'm afraid she will be tired."

Mother Li didn't hold out much hope. After all, how could the Shen family bear to let the darling girl do these chores?

"Hey, Jiaojiao is pregnant! Congratulations.

Hi, we just thought Jiaojiao’s cooking skills were so good, so we shamelessly came over to ask.

It’s okay if it doesn’t work.

Now that Jiaojiao is pregnant, she needs to be allowed to rest more and not overworked.

Then you guys go ahead and do your work, I’ll be leaving first.”

Just as Li's mother was about to turn around, Shen Jiaojiao stopped her, "Wait a minute, Auntie. Although I can't make it, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are much better at it. If you're not in a hurry, I can ask them to make it and mail it to you when it's done."

Shen Jiaojiao pointed at the cotton shoes on Shen's mother's feet and said, "The cotton shoes my mother is wearing today were made by my mother-in-law. Look, the craftsmanship is good! The stitches are firm and smooth, and the cotton inside is the best. The shoes made in this way are durable and warm, just suitable for the extremely cold weather here.

What do you think, auntie?

Shen Jiaojiao was thinking that since Liu Xiaolan had to take care of Ping An now and couldn't go to work, she might as well find her some manual work to do. It wouldn't be bad to earn a little money.

Mother Li took a close look at the cotton shoes on Mother Shen's feet and found them to be really good.

I felt that they looked better than the pair on Mr. Shen's feet, so I made a decision immediately, "I think it's okay! Anyway, if I can't wear these cotton shoes this year, I can wear them next year, and they won't go bad if I leave them alone.

Jiaojiao! I didn’t expect your mother-in-law is capable of this.”

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Then how many pairs do you need and what size shoes do you wear? Tell me after you count the number of people. Of course, you have to pay for the labor cost of making the shoes first."

Li's mother agreed repeatedly, "No problem, no problem. Money is a small matter. As long as we can get the goods, it's fine. Then, let me count the number and size of shoes first, and come back to tell you later."

Mother Li was so excited that she went out immediately to get the matter done as soon as possible.

But after taking two steps, he turned back.

"Oh, look at my bad memory. I forgot to ask you how much a pair of shoes costs so I can bring the money over."

Shen Jiaojiao actually thought seriously about what price to set for the cotton shoes.

It takes about four hours to make a pair of cotton shoes. Excluding the time for eating and sleeping, a maximum of three pairs of cotton shoes can be made in a day.

The total cost of fabric, cotton, postage and needle and thread for cotton shoes is about 50 cents, so it is not excessive to charge one dollar for a pair of shoes.

A pair of shoes costs one dollar, and after deducting the cost, you can make 50 cents per pair. If you buy three pairs a day, that's 1.5 yuan.

One month is forty-five.

Apart from the time lost, even 40 bucks a month is still pretty good.

This kind of work is not always available and can only earn you money for a while.

After thinking it over, Shen Jiaojiao said, "Auntie, a pair of cotton shoes is one yuan, including all the material costs."

Mother Li nodded and thought to herself, this girl is really good now! She doesn't charge any random fees or exorbitant prices.

One dollar a pair of cotton shoes is very affordable.

Li's mother said, "Okay, one piece is one piece. I'll go and count the number first."

After Aunt Li left, Mother Shen teased Shen Jiaojiao, "You are capable now. You can start a business when you return home."

Shen Jiaojiao said proudly, "That's right, your daughter is amazing in many ways, it's just that you are not good at discovering my abilities."

Mother Shen pouted, "Why is my daughter so shameless?"

“I learned it from you!”

Mother Shen: “…”

About an hour later, Li's mother came back.

She happily handed fifty yuan and a piece of paper with the shoe size written on it to Shen Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao! There are fifty pairs of shoes in total. The sizes and prices are here. Count them."

Shen Jiaojiao took the money and said with a smile, "I won't count the money. I trust Aunt Li's work. The shoes will be sent back in two months at most. Don't worry about the quality. It will definitely be the best."

Mother Li: "Thank you, Jiaojiao. You have really changed a lot. I want to have another daughter. Compared with you, my son is simply unbearable."

Shen Jiaojiao: "Brother Li is a good man, filial and obedient. Aunt Li, you should be content!"

"Hey, I can't compare with you. Forget it, let's not talk about that evil son. I won't say much. I'll go back first. I'll trouble your mother-in-law about the shoes. Tell her not to worry. We are not in a hurry to wear them either."

"good."

After sending Aunt Li away, Shen Jiaojiao handed fifty yuan to Xu Mo and said, "Look, your wife is amazing!"
