Chapter 463
Ying Sisi gave the child a few more instructions and led her to the front yard.
Mother Qin's gaze fixed on the child: "Did you ask Aunt Ma to make this dress?"
"Yes, does it look good?" Ying Sisi cared more about her mother-in-law's evaluation of the clothes.
"Yes, very stylish. Your great aunt's granddaughter's tenth birthday is coming up in a couple of days. I'm also planning to give her two sets of clothes. Lend me the clothes later and I'll find a tailor to make two sets according to the pattern."
"Why bother hiring a tailor? We have fabrics readily available at home, and there are more than just these styles. I'm free lately, so I can help you make them." Ying Sisi took the initiative to take on the task, inviting her mother-in-law into the house to choose a style. After Qin's mother responded, she followed her into the backyard room. She fiddled with the clothes hangers against the wall and said, "This is it."
Mother Qin looked through the pieces one by one and picked out two skirts, one pink and one aqua blue. "Let's go with these two. The colors are soft and the styles are modern. The kids will probably like them. The person your Aunt Ma hired is quite reliable. The workmanship is almost the same as those sold in the mall. How much is the processing fee for each one?"
"Nine cents."
"It's not cheap." Qin's mother did a rough calculation. "The processing fee for these clothes alone is more than ten yuan. She's not your biological child. Why make so many clothes for her? Can't you just trade in two sets?" She felt sorry for her son's money and blamed her daughter-in-law for not being able to manage it well. "Raising just one of you costs so much. When you have your own children, how much money will be enough to last you? Save money for the future."
"I'm not your biological child, but you often give me clothes, don't you?" Ying Sisi said.
My mother-in-law started to save money only after she moved out of Lu Yuechun's family.
The weather was cold earlier and clothes were expensive, so I bought a lot for her.
Mother Qin smiled, then quickly became serious again: "That's different. You are my daughter-in-law, and the child has nothing to do with us."
Ying Sisi didn't say anything.
Mother Qin sighed softly, "Forget it, now that she's back, she can live with us. When she's old enough to get married, she can choose someone from a good family to contribute to the development of our family. That's fine."
Ying Sisi: “.” Trading children for benefits?
She won't do it.
“.”
After dinner.
As dusk fell, Ying Sisi, who seldom visited neighbors, put a pink dress on the child and took her to her neighbor Aunt Qian's house to play.
Aunt Qian and her whole family are here.
After the child came in, he greeted everyone one by one.
Aunt Qian greeted her with a smile: "This child is really adorable. You have raised her to be smart and polite. She is a little fatter than when she first came. Look at what she is wearing, you can tell she comes from a wealthy family. She is really enjoying a good life in your family." Aunt Qian brought a stool and asked Ying Sisi to sit down.
After thanking her, Ying Sisi said, "Our family is not as good as you say. My parents haven't dared to go out recently because of my sister-in-law's affairs." She made a few comments about Lu Yuechun at the right time to ruin his reputation.
Aunt Qian echoed: "Your sister-in-law is the same. She is living a good life and is making trouble."
As the two were talking, Aunt Qian's daughter Fang Sulan and a girl from another village walked into the yard one after another.
"Hey, Sisi is here." Fang Sulan greeted warmly.
"Hello, Aunt Fang." Zhu Qingan greeted her hurriedly, offering the stool under his buttocks. "Auntie, please sit down."
"Hey, hello. Auntie won't sit down, so you can sit down." Aunt Fang said admiringly, "Your child is so polite. Look at ours, she's so quiet when she sees people." Her eyes flickered over the child as she spoke. "Where did you buy that skirt? It's such a beautiful design, especially the sleeves on both sides of the shoulders. They're so chic and intricate, and the workmanship is so good. Is it made of cotton? Is it warm?"
She said after touching the material.
Ying Sisi: "It's made of cotton, but it's very thin. It's always hot in the summer. Cotton is comfortable, but Dacron scratches the skin."
"Your skin is so tender. How much is this dress?"
Ying Sisi had been laying the groundwork for so long, and when she finally heard that she had figured out the problem, she gave an extra figure: "For the fabric plus the workmanship, it's two dollars more for one piece."
"It's only a little over two dollars, it's worth it. A skirt of this style and workmanship would sell for at least six dollars in a shopping mall. Where is it made? I'll go make two for my daughter later." Fang Sulan said.
Ying Sisi's heart was in turmoil. Six pieces?
Her previous estimate was conservative.
Ying Sisi smiled and said, "I asked an acquaintance to ask the workers at the garment factory to do this. They're working, so they might not agree to help. Your daughter is about the same age as mine. I have one in a different color at home, so I'll give you one."
"That's so embarrassing."
"We're neighbors, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Ying Sisi said to the child, "Qing'an, take me to pick one."
"Okay." Zhu Qing'an took the initiative to pull her sister's hand and walked towards her home.
Fang Sulan followed behind.
Ying Sisi followed, and Aunt Qian also went to join in the fun.
Passing by the main house, the group greeted Qin Yanjun.
Qin Yanjun responded and asked, "What are you doing?"
Aunt Qian explained the reason: "I feel really embarrassed."
Qin Yanjun had a hunch that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He asked Qin Yanci, "Is your wife running a business and looking for someone to promote it?"
"Is she that stupid? Can't you think of her well?" Qin Yanci said, "She knows how to please people because of Lu Yuechun. She ruined our family's reputation. She's grateful for what she has received. She's soft-hearted. She gave clothes to people to silence them. She's so thoughtful, and you actually doubt her. It's chilling."
Qin Yanjun: “.” Stop someone from talking, but don’t do it right away.
It's been so many days since the incident happened?
He wanted to refute, but he was worried that Qin Yanci had a lot of words waiting for him.
"Yes, yes, your wife is good, your wife is the best. I am not tactful, okay."
Qin Yanci: "You finally realize that you are ignorant."
Qin Yanjun: “.”
“.”
In the room.
Fang Sulan looked left and right, and said in a dilemma, "They're all very nice-looking, and many styles aren't available in the mall. Sisi, how about this? I'll buy three sets, each for 2.9 yuan. I'll be taking the kids to visit relatives in a couple of days and staying there for a few days, so they'll come in handy."
"It's not about money." Ying Sisi did not agree immediately. She asked Zhu Qingan for his opinion.
She had said that these clothes were given to the children. If she took one, she could make clothes for her mother-in-law's relative's children in a few days. If she took three, she wouldn't have the time to make them. "Qing'an, do you agree?"
Zhu Qing'an nodded: "I agree." There were so many clothes that she couldn't wear them all.
It is better for mom to give it to others. When others receive the benefits from mom, they will be good to her.
Ying Sisi then said, "Sister Fang, you choose."
"Yeah." Fang Sulan picked and asked her daughter to try.
Keep the three that you are most satisfied with.
Then pay Ying Sisi the money.
Ying Sisi politely pushed and shoved, and finally sold it to the other party at 2.5 yuan per set. The cost of fabric and labor was about 1.2 yuan, and she made a profit of 1.1 yuan by reselling it.
hey-hey.
good.
Ying Sisi sent Aunt Qian and her grandchildren out.
Father Qin waved to Zhu Qingan, who was playing alone in the yard, "Come here, little girl."
Zhu Qingan jumped forward and said, "Grandpa, is there anything I can help you with?"
