Chapter 119 A Thankless Job
Mrs. Wei pulled the corners of her lips, but her face showed fatigue.
"He doesn't agree with me selling clothes at your place. He thinks I can't take care of the family if I go out to work. But I won't listen to him. I owe him all the money, so I have to earn it back and pay it back to them."
"Our business is pretty good. If nothing goes wrong, we can make around a hundred yuan a month. Sometimes, if we're lucky, we can make two or three hundred yuan. It all depends on whether I can get customers to spend more money on clothes."
Ultimately, it depends on each of their sales skills. Some people can only get a commission of a few dozen yuan a month, while others can get a commission of hundreds of yuan. It all depends on whether they can capture the hearts of customers.
All the grievances that Sister Wei had felt last night were swept away. She smiled and said, "Xiao Su, when are you going to the county? I'll go with you then."
"I should go early tomorrow morning. It's raining so hard today that the roads won't be easy to walk on."
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow."
"good."
After Su Wan finished breakfast, she sat in the room and went to sleep again.
She had been quite busy recently and hadn't gotten enough sleep. It was a rare rainy day, so she thought it was just the right time to sleep.
Just after I fell asleep, there was a burst of noise outside again.
She turned over and was about to go back to sleep when there were knocks on her door.
"Xiao Su, are you home?"
Hearing that it was Sister Zhao's voice, Su Wan turned over and got out of bed helplessly to open the door.
"Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"
When Su Wan opened the door, she saw Mrs. Zhao standing at the door and asked with a smile.
Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "I do have something to talk to you about. Let's go inside and talk."
The two entered the house, and Su Wan quickly took the boiling water on the stove and poured a glass of water for Mrs. Zhao.
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Mrs. Zhao took the water and sighed, "You should know about the quarrel between Captain Wei and his wife last night, right?"
"I know. Sister Wei came to me and told me about it this morning."
"Originally, I wouldn't say anything about this, but Captain Wei came to me and asked me to persuade his wife. I thought you two have a good relationship, so I think it's okay to share some things with you."
Seeing that Sister Zhao had paused deliberately, Su Wan sighed inwardly before saying, "Sister-in-law, are you asking me not to invite Sister Wei to help in the store?"
"That's what Captain Wei means now. He hopes they won't separate, and he doesn't want his wife to go sell clothes there."
Su Wan suddenly felt puzzled.
She asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, can I know why Captain Wei doesn't allow you to sell clothes in my store?"
Knowing that what she was about to say might offend someone, Mrs. Zhao still said, "He thinks this self-employed person has no status, so he doesn't want his wife to help out in the store."
"When Sister Wei came to see me this morning, she told me she wanted to come to my shop to help out. Of course, I didn't say she had to come to my shop, but I promised her the job. Sister Wei was in debt, and she needed this kind of money to pay it off."
"I understand what you mean. From a woman's perspective, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. But Captain Wei disagrees, so I can't say anything."
Mrs. Zhao also felt that she was very innocent.
I was pulled back early in the morning to deal with this matter, and the key point is that it is a thankless task.
No matter what, both sides are offended.
Su Wan didn't think too much about it. Seeing Sister Zhao's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but said, "I can't agree to this matter either. I still respect Sister Wei's opinion."
"I've asked someone to try and persuade him, but I don't know if they can get him to think things through. Given their current situation, it's a good thing they have someone out there to help them make money."
"Sister-in-law Wei thinks the same thing. They owe too much for two days. It will definitely take a long time to pay it back with Captain Wei's salary alone."
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but gossip at this time, "Do you know how much money they still owe?"
Su Wan shook her head, "I'm not sure."
"I heard that after paying off their debt last year, they still had about two thousand dollars left. It would take them years to pay it back with one person's salary. If it were your clothing store, earning forty or fifty dollars a month would be a considerable income."
Mrs. Zhao also felt that Captain Wei was being a little too sensitive.
Now that we have reform and opening up, what's wrong with being an individual business owner?
As far as she knows, Guangdong Province has the largest number of self-employed people. Especially after the establishment of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, more people have flocked to Pengcheng, hoping to make a name for themselves here.
Especially now that the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has begun to connect with the international community, Mrs. Zhao feels that full opening is only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, some people are still too narrow-minded and think it is shameful for self-employed individuals to do this.
Mrs. Zhao also wanted to go to Su Wan's place, but their relationship was just ordinary. She had children to take care of at home and didn't have time to do these things.
"Sister-in-law is right. In my shop, as long as you are diligent and sweet-talking, you can make tens or even hundreds of dollars a month."
"Your clothing store is doing really well. I'd like to visit you someday and buy some clothes."
Su Wan readily agreed, "Sister-in-law, you can come anytime. Just mention my name and I'll give you a 20% discount."
"Then I'll go back first. You two should discuss the matter properly. I know you're not short of staff, but the matter between the couple should be left to them to handle."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I understand."
Only after Mrs. Zhao left did Su Wan let out a long sigh.
She really didn't expect that she would be looked down upon in the community even though she was a self-employed person.
Turning around and going back to bed, Su Wan turned over when the door was knocked again.
Boom boom boom…
This time, it was not a quick knock on the door, but three very regular knocks.
Su Wan took a deep breath, got out of bed and opened the door, and it was indeed Mrs. Wei.
Her expression was not very good, so she said to Su Wan, "Xiao Su, what sister-in-law just said should be about me, right? Don't worry, I have made up my mind to go, and no one can influence my decision."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not in a hurry. Please take care of your family affairs first and then come back. I believe you can handle it properly."
"I do want to, but it's clear from his tone that he doesn't want me to go out to work. I told him last night that even if I don't do well, I'll still get a base salary of 50 yuan at the beginning. He didn't believe it. He thought you might be trying to trick me."
