After this incident, Qu Guowei feared that H country would use Mei Si and the others as scapegoats, so that very night he sent someone to take Mei Si and the others to the dock so that they could leave H country by boat.
It was Mei Si's first time on a boat. Although she was afraid of water, she was more curious about how boats were operated.
As soon as May boarded the ship and put away her luggage, she started wandering around with her teammates. May was quite happy at first, but after only half an hour, she started to feel dizzy and nauseous.
Coach Chen was startled, thinking that Mei Si was sick. He quickly had two team members help Mei Si back to her room, while he rushed to find a doctor.
"She's fine, she's just seasick. Let her lie down and find someone to stay with her."
"Oh, it's alright! It's alright!" Coach Chen wiped the sweat from his brow, finally relieved.
Mei Si remained dizzy and disoriented, feeling as if time was passing endlessly. When her teammates finally helped her to stand on land, Mei Si almost burst into tears.
Mays: I will never take a boat again in my life!
Once the location for the stall was decided, Wang Ma was eager to set up her stall that very afternoon. Wang Ce Lou knew that his mother was in a hurry to earn the money back, so he couldn't stop her.
Wang Celou rode his bicycle with his mother to the night market early in the morning to reserve a spot. As soon as it got dark, the crowds at the night market began to grow, and more people started visiting the stalls.
Sitting on a small stool, looking at the money in her hand, Wang Ma thought this business was quite easy to do.
Wang Ma turned to look at her son, who was standing next to her, and felt that he couldn't help much here, so she wanted him to go home first.
"Let me help you."
Wang Celou was still somewhat uneasy.
"No need, no need, this is quite simple, I can sell it! You go home first, and come pick me up around 8 o'clock." There was only one bench, and Wang's mother didn't want her son to stand there for several hours.
Seeing that business was indeed quite good at this time, with everyone quietly looking for what they liked, and asking the price after they had chosen, without their mothers having to do anything, Wang Celou decided to go home first and come back to pick them up when it was time.
On the first night, fearing she wouldn't be able to sell the clothes like Grandma Yu, Wang Ma didn't dare bring too many, only 20 pieces.
When Wang Ce Lou went to pick her up around 8 o'clock, she had already packed her things and had been sitting there blankly for a long time. The clothes had been sold out an hour earlier.
Wang Celou raised an eyebrow. Could it be that his mother is also a skilled businesswoman?
The next day, Wang Ma decided to bring more; she brought 40 items, thinking that they should be enough to sell in one night.
Fearing that his mother might wait foolishly like she had the night before, Wang Celou didn't go home after dropping her off. Instead, he chose to wander around the neighborhood.
An hour later, when Wang Celou returned, he saw a group of women surrounding his mother.
Since everyone there was a woman, Wang Celou felt too embarrassed to squeeze in, so he decided to wait on the side until the market closed.
But the more Wang Celou listened to their conversation, the more uneasy he felt.
"This lady sells clothes so cheaply! It's like they're free."
"That's right, just touching that fabric, it would cost more than this even if it were sold wholesale."
"She's very easy to talk to; if you try to negotiate the price with her, she always agrees."
"That's right, these three pieces of clothing cost less than 20 yuan in total."
"Then you bought them at a higher price. These three items of mine cost 15!"
"What? It's cheaper than mine? Isn't she trying to rip me off? No way, I have to go find her!"
"..." So there are so many people, and it's not because my mother is good at business at all?
Wang Ma was extremely busy today. Besides those who bought clothes, many others came back to her after buying clothes, saying they had overpaid and demanding a refund for the extra money they had spent.
Wang Ma was already feeling guilty because the prices she paid to them were different. Now that everyone knows they paid too much, Wang Ma has even less confidence to refuse to refund them.
So many people came to her demanding a refund that Wang Ma initially remembered their faces, but later she became too busy and couldn't even remember their faces anymore.
After everyone had left, she looked at the money in her hand and realized that she had lost money today; she only had a little over 100 yuan left.
Wang Ma put the money away with a worried look on her face. When she looked up, she saw her son staring at her.
"Lou Lou's here! Come on, let's go home!" Wang Ma quickly smiled, picked up the empty bag, and sat on the back of the bicycle.
Wang Ce Lou waited for his mother to speak, but she didn't mention the loss the whole way, clearly not wanting him to worry.
After arriving home, Wang Celou felt that he should talk to his mother. If they continued selling clothes like his mother, their family might not even be able to recoup their costs.
"Mom, did you give them a discount when you sold the clothes today?"
"Hmm." Wang Ma was in a bad mood; she had lost too much money today, and it pained her.
"How much did you originally sell it for?"
"This garment was originally priced at 7 yuan when it was first shipped, but I was selling it for 10 yuan a piece."
"How many pieces did they sell for later?"
“At that time, a young girl was bargaining with me, saying that she had a low salary and had to support her family, so she didn’t have much money to buy clothes.”
"And then you softened your heart? And sold it at a loss?" Wang Celou looked at his mother with a headache. His premonition was right. His mother and grandmother were... equally bad.
"Yeah, I was thinking of just giving her a discount and getting it back from someone else, but I don't know why, they..."
Wang Ma looked puzzled, wondering how these people knew about her giving the girl a discount.
"They all know about the 3 items for 15 yuan."
"Yes, yes, I don't know why, but they all found out and came to me asking for a refund," Wang Ma said, nodding repeatedly.
"...And then you just refunded them all?" Wang Celou pinched the bridge of his nose and spoke on behalf of his mother.
