Chapter 226: Plan to Open a Branch
Lu Xiang said, "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It's definitely better to come to the county than to stay in the village!"
The county government hired my second brother-in-law to iron and make custom clothes, etc. She learned to cut hair, and they both made a living.
Second Sister Lu said, "How can it be that easy?"
Lu Xiang said: "If you come to the county, I can help you find a solution!"
Sister Lu has had a rough time these past few years and has become quite depressed. She's been tormented by life and refuses everything she encounters.
It's quite heartbreaking. When the family was poor, Second Sister Lu often brought things home and was very supportive of her sisters. Now that she is not doing well, everyone wants to help.
Sister Lu said, "Yes, you came to the county, at least we can take care of each other."
While the three sisters were talking, Mother Lu started rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for money. She found three hundred yuan in one go and gave it all to Second Sister Lu.
Mother Lu has three children in total. The eldest and third are doing well, but the second one is not having a good life.
Second Sister Lu said, "Let's talk about it later!" Many things are not that simple.
Lu Xiang said, "I'll help you find a place to learn the skills. If you study hard, you can open a shop outside the factory. 50 cents a piece will be enough for you to live on."
There are only a few people in the village, and many people are reluctant to spend money even if they want to get a haircut.
It’s different in the county. People are willing to spend this kind of money.
Moreover, there are few female hairdressers, so this might be a hot spot.
Lu Xiang's words touched Lu Erjie's heart. She had always thought so and just couldn't make up her mind.
Now, hearing Lu Xiang and her elder sister persuading her, she finally plucked up the courage and said, "I'll go back and talk to my husband about it." This was no small matter, but she was convinced and really wanted to go to the county.
Lu Xiang said, "If you want to come, please do it as soon as possible. I also need to arrange schooling for my eldest sister's child. If you come too, we can do it together."
Second Sister Lu was somewhat touched and said, "Thank you so much for your help!"
Lu Xiang said, "We are all family, don't say such awkward things!"
Second Sister Lu looked at Lu Xiang with tears in her eyes, deeply moved.
Lu Erjie has a hard time at her husband's house, and it will definitely be even harder in the future as her children will have more expenses.
I'm leaving now, giving everyone some dignity.
Even if you don't learn a skill, coming to Luxiang store to help is better than what you have now. You can earn money and spend it yourself.
Second Sister Lu was chatting here. The three sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and were very affectionate.
…
At the Fu family, Xiao Cailian saw Fu Ersao hanging around her in the yard.
Sometimes he holds a rag, sometimes he holds a broom.
After all, Xiao Cailian had lived to such an old age, so she immediately said, "Second wife, come with me!" Seeing that, Fu Ersao breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed her mother-in-law into the house.
Xiao Cailian said, "You're swaying in front of me, I'm dazzled. Just say what you want to say."
Mrs. Fu said, "Mom, I heard that the fourth son's wife makes very good food, and I want to go over and help!" Now the second son is working in the spring factory.
Everyone at the spring factory said the spicy hot pot was delicious, and she also heard that Lu Xiang had brought her eldest sister there, so she wanted to go in too.
Both husband and wife can live in the county.
If only Brother Fu earned money, it would not be enough for the family to live on.
She wanted to have both of them, but she was too embarrassed to mention it, so she wanted Xiao Cailian to bring it up.
Xiao Cailian said, "Her elder sister is her biological sister after all, so there's nothing wrong with her going over to help. Besides, Lu Xiang has been very kind to you. She doesn't want a penny for the duck neck. She's made a lot of money over the years, so you can't be too greedy!"
Although my mother-in-law hopes that my brothers can be together, she is not a nagging old lady. She knows that it is much more difficult for sisters-in-law to get along with each other than with real sisters.
Besides, Lu Xiang is not the kind of person who doesn't know etiquette. Every time she comes back, she brings home a lot of things.
Not only does he spend money on the household, but he also buys new clothes for the children.
Now the second son has also been arranged a decent job in the county.
That job, if I did it for someone else, would cost me five or six hundred. I was already taking advantage, and if I continued to take advantage, it would seem petty.
When Mrs. Fu heard what her mother-in-law said, her cheeks flushed. "That's not what I meant, Mom. I just want to earn a salary, even if it's a little less than what they get."
Afraid that someone would catch him talking, he immediately said, "Don't you trust me? I'm the most diligent person on weekdays!"
This is exactly what I shouldn't have said. I'm afraid that if I said it, Lu Xiang would have some ideas. If Xiao Cailian had mentioned it, the matter would have been more successful.
Mrs. Fu said with a cruel heart, "If I were there, I would give my share of the duck neck to Mom! It's not that I'm short of money, but I just don't want you and me to separate."
The dividends from the duck necks were quite a bit each month. The old daughter-in-law understood clearly that she would not be able to take the money for nothing when she went to the county and did not help at home.
Instead of letting others bring it up, it’s better to say it yourself.
Xiao Cailian said, "You..." Seeing that the second son's wife spoke so sincerely, the mother-in-law didn't know what to say.
It would seem unkind to refuse, but my mother-in-law hasn't figured out how to say it yet.
Seeing that Xiao Cailian did not reject Fu as bluntly as before, the flame of hope was ignited in the second sister-in-law's heart again.
Mrs. Fu continued, "We are real relatives! We are not strangers. You know me, I mean what I mean. I will never take a penny more from others. I just want to earn a little money."
Xiao Cailian said, "We can't help but also can't make things more complicated! I'll call someone over later, and you can talk to me yourself!"
The second sister-in-law was ecstatic and quickly said, "Thank you, Mom."
That afternoon, Mrs. Fu made steamed egg cakes for Xi Nian and praised Fu Qinhui, saying that she had found a good wife.
Even the third sister-in-law noticed her attentive look and looked at her.
Mrs. Fu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. When Lu Xiang was going to take Fu Qinhui and the child back home in the evening.
Xiao Cailian called her into the room. Mrs. Fu was also in the room, but Lu Xiang seemed to be thinking about something. She asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Xiao Cailian glanced at Fu Ersao.
Mrs. Fu immediately said, "I heard you're quite busy. I want to go over and help you out and find a job. Of course, it's okay if you don't need me! I just said it casually."
Lu Xiang said, "I'm negligent. I've been so busy lately. It's really good for my second sister-in-law to go to the county. How about this? You can go to my place first. I'll give you 35 yuan a month."
Lu Xiang continued, "You keep doing this for now. When business gets better, I'll open a branch. You can then become the store manager and earn even more."
Lu Xiang’s Malatang business is so good, it’s only a matter of time before they open a branch, and they just happen to be short of staff.
Mrs. Fu thought it was not easy to get her to agree, but she did not expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
Overjoyed at this moment, Lu Xiang proposed a better option.
Mrs. Fu was a little touched: "Xiangxiang, you are so good to me." She felt that Lu Xiang was the best sister-in-law in the world.
