"Sister, I just want to learn a skill from you. Being an apprentice doesn't cost money, but the higher-ups won't allow it?"
Qiao Jinfeng looked anxious.
"I'm pregnant now, and I'm not very active at work. In the later stages of my pregnancy, I may only have sex two or three days a week, so it makes sense to ask my family to help."
Qiao Baozhu leaned lazily on the lumbar pillow, which she asked the store staff to make for her after she became pregnant.
"That's good. Then I will take advantage of my time in the store to learn more from my sisters and try to become an apprentice as soon as possible."
After working for a few days, Qiao Jinfeng felt full of energy.
The tailors in the shop, although disabled, live a good life with their hands. How can I, a person with healthy hands and feet, not compare to the disabled?
As long as she is able to endure hardships and is willing to work hard, Qiao Jinfeng believes that she will be able to get through it soon.
"Have you ever thought about what you are going to do after you finish your studies?"
Qiao Baozhu looked at Qiao Jinfeng expectantly.
Qiao Jinfeng tilted her head and thought for a while: "Well, my mother asked me to take an exam for a garment factory or a textile factory. I don't want to go, I have skills, and I want to open my own tailor shop."
"Sister, our clothing store makes just as much as the textile factory. The textile factory still works in three shifts, but our store is not that tiring. I thought the clothes in the store were so expensive, who would spend money to buy them? Unexpectedly, there are so many people buying them."
"People still buy clothes in my store even though they are expensive, because the styles of the clothes in my store are new. The clothes in clothing factories are all the same style. Rich people definitely want to wear better-looking, newer styles, and different clothes from others."
It was said on the radio that the liquidation of those who caused turmoil in the country has begun.
There are more people running small businesses on the streets, and the whole country is thriving. This is visible to the naked eye.
Those who have money don’t want to wear black, gray and blue all day long, they also want to wear some colorful clothes.
The clothes in Qiao Baozhu's clothing store are more expensive than those in department stores just by slightly altering the neckline and tightening the waist.
"Opening your own tailor shop would at most be a job of tailoring trouser legs. Have you ever thought of something bigger?"
Qiao Baozhu smiled faintly and guided Qiao Jinfeng step by step.
"You're not trying to test me to see if I have any intention of taking over your store, are you?"
Qiao Jinfeng had a sullen face and looked very unhappy.
"Do you think I'm your second aunt? I'm always thinking about how to get money from you. Let me tell you, although my family is not as rich as yours, I, Qiao Jinfeng, will not take advantage of others.
Before I came here, I told you that I came here to learn the craft of tailoring. Once you learn the skills, no one can take them away from you.
Do you think I'm like my second aunt, with no sense of business? What's the point of having your store? Hire a few tailors, mend the sewing machines, cut a few times, and sell it at a high price?
If money is really that easy to make, why is it that the county textile factory where my aunt works is not doing well and can't pay wages?"
Qiao Baozhu narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiao Jinfeng in surprise. She was surprised that she could figure all this out.
"Of course I can. There are tailors making clothes and clothing stores selling clothes. I don't have to do anything but sit and wait to collect money. This store is the same whether I am there or not."
These are Ge Liuping's original words.
At the beginning, Qiao Changhai took the lead, together with the village chief, Qiao Changfu and others, to help Qiao Xifeng get back half of the money on the grounds of paying hospital fees.
After all, Ge Liuping is Qiao Xifeng's biological mother. If she really wants to bully others for money, no one else can do anything about it.
At that time, Qiao Changfu used Feilong's reputation as a threat to ask Qiao Xifeng for part of the money.
As for the remaining part, Ge Liuping would naturally spend it on her youngest son.
Ge Liuping has only one child, who has not yet married at the age of 5. She wants to find a good girl for her precious son, who is good-looking, has a good family background, and has a good job.
But girls like this all despise Qiao Feilong, who works at the Farm Reclamation Bureau but can't even get a regular salaried job as a farm worker.
Qiao Feilong didn't want to be a farmer at all. He wanted to be a worker, one that didn't require much work and earned high wages.
Ever since he knew that his lame uncle Qiao Changhai had become a level 6 worker in the city, he had been clamoring at home to go to the city to work.
Qiao Changhai and Bao Huihua are both married couple and have stable jobs with good salaries. They are said to receive pensions after retirement, so their children don't even have to worry about their retirement.
As a state-owned farm owner, Ge Liuping had seen too many old ladies earning wages. She didn't care what those people had to do with her, and she didn't care how much money they made.
But why does Bao Huihua do that?
A mute who is despised by himself, who has been submissive all his life, now has a job when he is old?
Why? Why?
Ge Liuping felt that it was useless for Qiao Changhai and Bao Huihua to hold on to their iron rice bowls. Qiao Baozhu, that money-loser, had a job to begin with, and now she was the boss of a shop. Marrying a soldier, she could eat royal food for the rest of her life.
They are all children that came out of my belly, why does that little girl live so well?
Those two old guys are buried up to their necks in the earth. Why don’t they give the job to their son while they are still alive?
No matter how powerful Qiao Baozhu is, she is still a married woman, a money-losing commodity, and an outsider.
Her sons Guangming and Feilong are the males, they are sons!
When those two old men die in the future, won’t the one who carries the banner be chosen from among my nephews?
The more Ge Liuping thought about it, the more she felt that Qiao Changhai and Bao Huihua's work should be left to her own family.
Even if both sons cannot take over, Feilong can take over.
Ge Liuping thought it was natural, and whenever she had the time or opportunity, she would go to the city to lobby Qiao Changhai's home.
It was not a wasted trip. I carried a basket of cabbage, beans, eggplants and peppers from the vegetable garden at home. I stayed for two nights each time and then went home. I planned to fight a long battle. Thinking that I could spend a year or so, Qiao Changhai agreed.
Later, when Qiao Baozhu became pregnant and moved, Ge Liuping had a new excuse. She made up her mind and killed an old hen for Qiao Baozhu.
Qiao Baozhu didn't hesitate to cook the old hen. She stewed it and sent it to Qiao Xifeng in front of Ge Liuping to nourish her body.
Perhaps thinking of her little daughter who lived in a mental hospital, Ge Liuping felt guilty and stayed quiet at home for a while.
Qiao Jinfeng couldn't stand her second aunt's blood-sucking behavior and mistakenly thought that Qiao Baozhu was confusing them together.
"I'm not your second aunt. I'm not that shameless. I know that the reason why this clothing store sells so well is because of your designs. The new clothes you designed are better looking than those on the market.
Those wealthy old customers in the store, no matter how old they are, all come for you.
There are many people who can make clothes, but how many can make such beautiful clothes? "
Qiao Baozhu nodded repeatedly. She didn't expect that Jin Feng, despite her young age, had such strong observation skills.
After only a few days here, I discovered the real technical core of the clothing store.
Not only is he good at observation, he is also good at summarizing, using his brain instead of talking, and he is self-aware.
He is also eloquent, bold and not afraid of the stage.
Qiao Baozhu felt that Jin Feng was a natural candidate for public relations.
