"Sister Jiang Yue, why did you cut your pants?" Yang Cuiling was dumbfounded.
"Yeah, Jiang Yue, what are you doing? There are only two small holes in it. You can still wear it if you mend it." Lian Rongrong looked distressed.
"Don't worry, watch me transform my bell-bottom pants!" Jiang Yue felt that ordinary scissors could not cut the denim, so she went to get Aunt Yang's tailor scissors and cut twice.
The tailor's scissors were very sharp and it didn't take much effort to cut the hole that Jiang Yue wanted.
She put down the scissors and began to pick at the thread in the hole.
"Jiang Yue, what do you want to do?" The pants had been cut, and Yang Cuiling and Lian Rongrong could only look at Jiang Yue, wanting to see what Jiang Yue could do with the jeans.
However, neither of them had much hope. The jeans had been cut and damaged, and the marks could be seen even if they were mended. They would not be able to be sold at the original price. They could only lower the price, and that had to be extremely low to be able to sell them.
However, Jiang Yue used the scissors to cut the hole in the trousers bigger. Now they probably can't be sold even at a clearance sale.
After all, no one would go out of their way to buy a pair of ragged pants to wear.
"Okay!" Jiang Yue picked up the bell-bottom pants and showed her results to Lian Rongrong and Yang Cuiling.
Lian Rongrong and Yang Cuiling looked at the bowl-sized hole on the right thigh of the trousers. The blue thread of the denim was still pulled, and their expressions became stiff.
"Jiang Yue, does this look good?" Lian Rongrong asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, such a big hole, and the thread is still sticking out..." Yang Cuiling's expression twitched. She actually wanted to say that it was really ugly, but she didn't want to discourage Jiang Yue.
"You don't understand this. This is the most popular hippie style abroad. The bigger the holes in the pants, the more fashionable they are!" Jiang Yue shook his bell-bottom pants.
Lian Rongrong and Yang Cuiling were both skeptical. "Are people abroad so sick? Why do they have to make holes in their pants instead of wearing them?"
Gu Ye was talking to Wang Weixu when he looked over. After seeing the big hole in the jeans in Jiang Yue's hand, he also raised his eyebrows.
But Lian Rongrong and Yang Cuiling both had a blind faith in Jiang Yue. Seeing how confident Jiang Yue was, they put aside their doubts and followed Jiang Yue in cutting the jeans.
When Aunt Yang brought her acquaintance Wang Lizhen back to the store, what they saw were pairs of jeans that had been cut to pieces, which made Aunt Yang feel heartbroken again.
"Oh my, why did they get cut? These jeans only have a few small holes. They can still be worn if you mend them. But if you cut them, they're completely ruined!" Aunt Yang wanted to beat Yang Cuiling.
The main thing was that she couldn't hit Lian Rongrong, let alone scold Jiang Yue. She could only snatch a pair of bell-bottom jeans that Yang Cuiling was cutting and said, "You stupid girl, how can you destroy things like this!"
Yang Cuiling cried out in injustice, "Grandma, it was Sister Jiang Yue who asked us to cut it! It wasn't me who cut it!"
Aunt Yang was startled and looked at Jiang Yue. She saw that Jiang Yue was also cutting a strip in his hand, and the hole was much bigger than the one in Yang Cuiling's hand.
"Auntie, don't scold Cuiling. It was indeed me who wanted to cut my hair!" Jiang Yue explained to Aunt Yang again.
"They can still be sold with such a big hole cut in them? Impossible?" Aunt Yang was skeptical. She looked at the ripped jeans in her hand. Her hand could even stick out of the hole. If worn by someone, the flesh on the thigh would be exposed!
"Girl, are you kidding us? I'm already old, and I've only seen clothes with holes patched up, but I've never seen a hole this big cut by someone themselves!" Aunt Wang, who was knitting a sweater, shook her head when she saw the floor full of ripped jeans.
"This is a popular outfit abroad. It's not yet popular in our country, but I estimate that some people will start wearing it this way after the spring. By then, my ripped jeans may be in short supply!" Jiang Yue didn't intend to explain more. Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang are both old, and they still don't understand why these bell-bottom pants with legs as big as brooms are so popular.
If Jiang Yue explained to them that this was the strange costume that foreign hippies loved the most and that there would soon be a similar craze in China, they would definitely not be able to accept it.
Sure enough, Aunt Yang and Aunt Wang looked at Jiang Yue cutting the jeans with great determination, and both of them looked distressed.
Jiang Yue didn't cut holes in all the bell-bottom jeans. For some, she just removed the warp threads, leaving a dense row of weft threads. Some pairs of jeans had only a small hole as big as a fingernail, so Jiang Yue left it alone and only used sandpaper to rub the small hole to make it look old.
Jiang Yue, Lian Rongrong and Yang Cuiling were busy here. Gu Ye came over and told Jiang Yue that he was going out for a while.
"Lizhen, take a look at these sweaters, can they be repaired?" Aunt Yang picked up a pure white sweater and showed it to Aunt Wang, with a distressed look on her face, "Such a good sweater, but it was cut by those two evil women!"
Aunt Wang touched the hole in the sweater with her finger and said, "It can be mended, but it will definitely be obvious that it has been mended."
"Auntie Wang, how about you mend this one first and let me see what it looks like. Then we can think of other ways to cover up the marks of the mending."
Jiang Yue was thinking of the batch of defective cloth she used to make children's T-shirts. At the beginning, she covered up all the defects on the cloth by embroidering patterns on the chest. The lifelike animal patterns were very cute and interesting. Her business was booming as soon as she opened, and all the products were exported abroad.
Speaking of exporting abroad, Jiang Yue remembered that she had been busy dealing with Hao Fugui and his group these past two days and she had no time to go to the garment factory to check.
It is better to go now than to wait for a better day. She decided to go now.
"Rongrong, I'm going to the garment factory. Please tell Gu Ye when he comes back. I'll be back soon!" Jiang Yue put down his jeans and said to Lian Rongrong.
"Jiang Yue, I'll go with you!" Although Jiang Yue said that Hao Fugui and his group had been beaten to the point where they couldn't get up, Lian Rongrong was still worried because she was really scared by those bullies yesterday.
When Jiang Yue saw that Lian Rongrong had also called Wang Weixu, she knew that she was worried that he would be in danger again. Jiang Yue felt warm in her heart and did not refuse.
There was only one bicycle in the clothing store, which was smashed by the men brought by the Hao family yesterday. Jiang Yue and Lian Rongrong decided to walk there.
On the way, Jiang Yue told Lian Rongrong that the second batch of T-shirts had suffered particularly severe damage. Lian Rongrong immediately felt that something was fishy.
"When I opened a store in the county, I met someone from a garment factory. She told me that the manager of their factory was the brother-in-law of the factory director. The factory's performance had always been poor, but the families of the factory director and the manager were extremely rich," said Lian Rongrong.
"We can't catch them stealing clothes now! I came here several times, and Manager Zhang followed me all the time, and I couldn't even say a word to the workers!" Jiang Yue could see that there was something wrong with the factory director and the manager, but there was only one garment processing factory in Qingshan County. She had signed an overseas order and was in a hurry to ship the goods, so she had no other choice.
Besides, when we were making the first batch of goods, everything was normal. Who would have thought that the factory director and manager were such people.
When they arrived at the garment factory, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. The gatekeeper was not there, so Jiang Yue went in directly.
