Chapter 64: Making Money
As Li Xingyue got closer, she noticed the intense stares her parents were giving her.
She rarely gets stared at, so being stared at like this suddenly made her a little embarrassed.
"Dad, Mom, why...why are you staring at me like that?"
Sister-in-law Li looked her daughter up and down and couldn't help but exclaim, "Girl, it's only been a few days, and you've gotten so much fairer."
"Really?" Li Xingyue cupped her face in her hands. She looked at herself every day and felt that there was no big change. When she left today, her roommate said that she seemed to have become much fairer. Some people even asked her how she became fairer, and some people praised her for being pretty.
She followed Jiang Ning's advice and insisted on applying face masks and drinking water infused with the Sanbai ointment every day without missing a single day.
Judging from the amazed expressions on her parents' faces, she is very grateful for her perseverance.
Of course, she was even more grateful to Jiang Ning.
"Sister Jiang, thank you..." Li Xingyue grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you."
Jiang Ning was also very satisfied with her results. In just one week, the girl not only became fairer, but her skin also became smoother and more radiant.
Li Xingyue has probably been praised by many people at school recently, and she has become much more confident, no longer as timid as she was when we first met.
"The effect is good. Keep using it. The ointment I made can not only whiten your skin, but also nourish it. Your skin will get better and better."
Li Xingyue's eyebrows and eyes curved.
Which girl doesn't want to be beautiful? And which girl doesn't want to have fair skin?
After admiring herself for a while, Li Xingyue remembered something. She said to Jiang Ning, "Sister Jiang, one of my classmates also wants to buy your whitening cream and Sanbai cream. She said she's willing to pay three times the price of the snow cream. Is that a reasonable price?"
three times?
The price of the face cream is three yuan a bottle, and the other party is willing to buy it for three times the price, which is nine yuan.
I want both the whitening cream and the three-whitening cream, that'll cost eighteen yuan.
The whitening cream and the three-white cream she gave Li Xingyue were both packaged in 8x10 enamel mugs, which were quite a lot, and the price of 9 yuan was reasonable.
Jiang Ning nodded, "Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Li Xingyue took out a wad of cash from her clothes and handed it over. "Sister Jiang, this is money from my classmate. She said she trusts me and gave me the money in advance. Here's eighteen yuan. Please count it."
Jiang Ning glanced at Li Xingyue in surprise. It seemed that her plan was quite successful, as she had already secured a business deal in such a short time.
"No need to order, I trust you." Jiang Ning accepted the money without hesitation.
Then he took out two yuan and handed it to Li Xingyue, saying, "This is for you."
When Li Xingyue saw Jiang Ning hand her two yuan, she was startled and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "Sister Jiang, how can I accept your money!"
Before Li Tuan and his wife could even process the fact that Jiang Ning's products could sell for so much money, they saw Jiang Ning trying to give money to her daughter. Li's wife quickly said, "Jiang sister! My Xingyue can't accept this money!"
Jiang Ning's hand was pushed back by Sister-in-law Li, "We should be giving you money, how can we take your money?"
I just heard my daughter say that the two jars of stuff Jiang Ning gave me cost eighteen yuan. Although I was shocked by the price, it was indeed effective, as I could already see on my daughter's face.
As long as it's effective, it's worth any price.
However, Jiang Ning didn't charge them last time, so how could she expect them to pay her now?
“Sister Li, I’m making these things because I plan to go through the student route. I’ll be asking Xingyue for help a lot in the future, so giving her a dollar for every jar I sell isn’t much.”
Jiang Ning was willing to give the money because even the best relationships can develop ulterior motives over time. As long as she could maintain the relationship with mutual benefits, she wasn't worried about this path being cut off.
"No, no," Sister Li shook her head, refusing to accept the money no matter what.
"Sister-in-law Li, if Xingyue doesn't accept this money, I won't make the whitening cream for her." Jiang Ning's expression suddenly turned cold, and her expression became somewhat intimidating.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning say she wouldn't be getting the whitening cream for her daughter, Sister-in-law Li became a little anxious and quickly nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll have Xingyue accept it, alright?"
After saying that, he gestured for his daughter to accept the two yuan that Jiang Ning gave him.
Li Xingyue was flattered and accepted the two yuan. She was already earning money while still in school.
"Jiang Meizi, could you make some more whitening cream for Xingyue? I also want to buy an extra jar of the Sanbai Cream that I can mix with water for myself." As she spoke, Sister Li took out twenty-seven yuan from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was thinking about her relationship with Sister Li's family, but Sister Li was also stubborn, and she would definitely feel bad if she didn't accept the money.
After thinking for a moment, she only accepted fifteen yuan. "Sister Li, I'll only charge you five yuan per can."
Sister-in-law Li knew that Jiang Ning only accepted such a low price because of the good relationship between their two families, "How could I possibly accept that?"
Li Tuan, who hadn't said much, saw the women arguing back and forth, so he spoke up, "Alright, we'll remember how good our sister-in-law is to our family. Let's stop passing the buck."
Li's sister-in-law felt bad about taking advantage of Jiang Ning, so she insisted on taking Jiang Ning to her house for dinner.
The next day, Jiang Ning was stopped by someone as soon as she rode her bicycle to the entrance of the family compound on her way to the clinic.
The woman who stopped her was smiling and looked to be in her early thirties.
"You must be Comrade Jiang Ning?" Although it was a question, the tone was one of certainty in revealing Jiang Ning's identity.
Jiang Ning looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her, her expression unchanged. "Who are you?"
The woman introduced herself, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Su Ling, the wife of Fang Wen, the political instructor of the First Battalion."
Jiang Ning: "Is there something you need?"
"My husband, Fang Wen, was entrusted by Brigade Commander Liang. Brigade Commander Liang hopes that my husband can do some ideological work for you. Or if you have any complaints that are inconvenient to tell Brigade Commander Liang, you can talk to my husband about them."
My husband saw that you're a young woman, and Deputy Regiment Commander Shen hasn't been home lately, so he didn't dare to bother you. He told me about this, hoping I could talk to you. It's not convenient to talk here with so many people around. Why don't you come to my house? My house is in that building over there.”
Su Ling pointed to the building behind Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised. She knew that in this day and age, ideological work was often done at the drop of a hat. Judging from what this woman said, it seemed that Commander Liang was worried that she might have some grievances, but was afraid that she wouldn't dare to speak up, so he specially invited someone else to talk to her.
Commander Liang always remembered the kindness she showed him by saving him, which left her feeling somewhat helpless.
The woman in front of her looked at her with an expression that said she wouldn't be allowed to leave unless Jiang Ning agreed, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Su Ling beckoned Jiang Ning to follow her. When they arrived at the building, Jiang Ning locked her bicycle and followed Su Ling upstairs.
When they reached the third floor and were almost home, Su Ling finally spoke, "Don't take those unpleasant rumors in the compound to heart."
As she spoke, Su Ling paid close attention to Jiang Ning's facial expression, seemingly trying to discern her thoughts from her face.
After those people apologized yesterday, the matter was considered over, and Jiang Ning didn't take it to heart. It didn't cause any ripples on her expression.
