Chapter 231 There will be such a day!

Ever since she got the key to the laboratory from Qin Wang, Su Mei has become busy. Except for classes, she basically stays in the laboratory. Sometimes she doesn't even go back for dinner.

She began to study day and night, working harder than she did for the college entrance examination.

The main reason is that her ambition is too big. She knows that her talent is not enough to support her expectations for the future, so she must work ten times harder.

Su Mei's attitude towards doing things has always been like this. Either she doesn't do it, or once she chooses to do it, she will do it to the best of her ability and to the utmost.

And so she was busy for several days.

It wasn't until the weekend that I finally had a chance to take a breath.

It was just a day off, but Su Mei did not rest at home. Instead, she took Li Shufen and Qiuqiu to her master's house.

Last time she promised to bring Li Shufen to make clothes for Dai Yin and several other ladies in the Qin family.

Since she had some time on the weekend, Su Mei took Li Shufen there directly.

When she and Li Shufen arrived, Dai Yin was already waiting at home with Qin Zhengfeng's lover Liang Jing. Liang Jing's daughter and daughter-in-law were not there, but she brought two people with her to take measurements of the clothes.

Li Shufen measured the sizes of Dai Yin and Liang Jing.

After taking the measurements, Su Mei came out to discuss the price of the clothes with Dai Yin and Liang Jing. She said to Dai Yin and Liang Jing:

"My two wives, I talked to you about the cost of this dress last time. It takes my sister-in-law about half a month to make a dress.

According to the wages of workers in our market, it is about 1.5 yuan a day, which is 22.5 yuan for half a month, rounded up to 20 yuan.

I'll give you another 20% discount, and charge you 16 yuan for one piece of clothing. What do you think?"

"What kind of discount is this? In a department store, a skirt would cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars, and this is just 20 yuan." Dai Yin likes the skirts made by Li Shufen very much and she doesn't care about the price.

Liang Jing was the same, not caring about the three or four yuan discount: "As long as the skirt looks good, it doesn't matter whether there is a discount or not."

In fact, they were not really indifferent to money. It was just that the person who made the clothes was Su Mei's sister-in-law, and they had heard about Li Shufen's experience from her, so they pretended not to care and gave up the discount.

When Li Shufen heard the price the three people negotiated, she was stunned.

When she was at home, Su Mei discussed the price of clothes with Li Shufen. She was planning to charge three yuan for each piece of clothing.

She felt like a lion for asking too much for just three dollars, and mentally prepared herself for the price to be haggled down.

After all, when she was in her hometown, as long as there was five dollars in the family, the whole family could have a good New Year.

So when Su Mei rejected Li Shufen's proposal and said that she would charge twenty yuan for one piece of clothing, Li Shufen was shocked.

She thought that when Su Mei brought up the price, she might be scolded and kicked out by Su Mei's wife.

He even spent two hours at home trying to persuade Su Mei not to shout out prices randomly.

As a result, not only did her two mistresses agree to the price of twenty yuan, they even smiled and refused any discount.

Li Shufen also heard Dai Yin say that she had to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a skirt in a department store.

It turned out that she had gone to great lengths to get a divorce, and the divorce compensation she received, which she thought was very generous, was actually only enough to buy two skirts in a department store.

Although both wives said they didn't want a discount, Su Mei still decided in her heart to charge them less, or even nothing at all.

However, if the two wives were to introduce new customers to the eldest sister-in-law, the amount of money Su Mei was prepared to ask for would have to increase several times.

Her designs and Li Shufen's craftsmanship all need to be exchanged for money.

However, Su Mei did not say anything for the time being. She wanted to wait until Li Shufen finished the product and showed it to the two wives before listening to their opinions.

After measuring the size of the clothes, Su Mei and Dai Yin went to the kitchen to cook.

At the dinner table, Liang Jing asked Qiuqiu: "What grade is the kid in?"

"I have never been to school, but my aunt is teaching me to read. Girls don't have to go to school." Qiuqiu responded to Liang Jing's question in a daze.

Liang Jing was the principal of an elementary school, and her job was to take care of the children's education. When she heard Qiuqiu's answer, she frowned and asked seriously:

"Who told you that girls don't have to go to school? Why don't they have to go to school?"

"My grandmother said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. She said that girls don't need to study. They should just wait until they grow up and marry into a good family, and they will be happy." Qiuqiu repeated Liu Cuiyun's words.

"What kind of talk is that... It doesn't mean that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent!" Liang Jing said, looking at Li Shufen again, "Her grandmother said so, and you believed it, and then you don't send your child to school?"

"No." Li Shufen was a little embarrassed and shook her head quickly, "Qiuqiu was in poor health and was weak when she was young, so I didn't send her to school.

Now we are in Yanjing, but we don’t have a hukou here. We came to Yanjing on the pretext of seeing a doctor for her. She can’t go to school yet, but I will send her there in the future.”

"Don't you have a household registration?" Liang Jing glanced at Li Shufen, then at Qiuqiu. After eating a few bites of food, she suddenly said:

"I can arrange for my child to go to school. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a hukou. It's just a matter of adding a stool and a table. Do you want to go?"

"Ah?" When these words came out, not only Li Shufen was surprised, but even Su Mei raised her head suddenly.

"Master's Wife, this will cause you a lot of trouble, right?" Because Liang Jing is the lover of Qin Zhengting's eldest brother, Su Mei calls Liang Jing Master's Wife.

Su Mei didn't understand. She knew Liang Jing was the principal of an elementary school, and she didn't even have the nerve to go to Liang Jing and beg him to give Qiuqiu a place in school. So why would Liang Jing take the initiative to help so much?

"It's not a problem." Liang Jing smiled at Su Mei, "Didn't I tell you that it's just a matter of adding a desk? If you are willing to go, then I will go back and take care of it.

In a week at most, Qiuqiu will be able to sit in the classroom, but she doesn’t have a household registration, so she won’t have a student status. She can only go to school to attend classes. Will she go?"

"Go, go, go. Of course we'll let her go!" Su Mei agreed to this matter on behalf of Li Shufen and Qiuqiu with a slightly excited tone.

Li Shufen had never thought that just coming here to take measurements for people to make clothes would bring her such a huge reward. She was so excited that she was incoherent and could only say thank you to Liang Jing again and again with a trembling voice.

Seeing that they had agreed on Qiuqiu's schooling, Dai Yin spoke to Su Mei:

"Your mistress is a woman with ideals and ambitions. She has been the principal of more than 30 schools and even founded a girls' middle school.

She has been working for girls' education all her life. Many girls who could not afford to go to school have been able to return to school with her help.

So when she heard that Qiuqiu couldn't go to school, she immediately thought of a solution, because this was something she had insisted on doing for many years.

She has only been the principal of Yenching University in the past two years because of poor health. In previous years, she took the initiative to apply to go to the countryside. She is a role model for our generation. "

Su Mei didn't expect that there was such a great reason behind Liang Jing's sudden emergence. For a moment, she couldn't help but respect Liang Jing.

"What role model? That's just nonsense!" Liang Jing laughed twice in annoyance, and then her tone slowed down, "In China, there are still too many girls who are born without equal access to education.

I really hope that one day, our country and our future generations can treat girls the same as boys and have them all go to school.”

Su Mei thought that Liang Jing would soon be sixty years old. If she could live to be eighty or ninety, she would definitely be able to see the prosperity she wanted to see.

And now, Su Mei could only respond to Liang Jing in a positive tone: "Master Madam, there will definitely be such a day."
