Chapter 148 Who can bear this?
Mrs. Shen is a very traditional contemporary woman.
Husband is the first priority and family is the most important.
She was able to let her husband return to the village while she stayed in the provincial capital to work hard because Xia Keqing gave her enough.
If the income was not so considerable, she would definitely follow her husband and return to the village with Brother Shen.
Although it would be a bit embarrassing to go back and I might lose face.
But I'm not afraid of losing face.
After all, with so many people in the village going out to work, not many of them actually make money.
We are all ordinary people.
Some people make money and some lose money. Some are dazzled by the colorful world outside and spend whatever they earn, leaving little behind.
But Xia Keqing gave too much!
So Mrs. Shen found some of herself a little bit.
But her thinking still remains at the level of "women should sacrifice for men and family."
So what Xia Keqing said about asking Shen Jichuan to transfer here for her surprised Mrs. Shen, and she had the illusion that a new world had been opened.
"Let, let the third brother be transferred over? Then, can that be possible?"
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "Whether it will work or not, we will know when the time comes if we ask."
She spread her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of our store?"
“How is my earning ability?”
Mrs. Shen came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly.
When talking about the women's clothing store, she became excited.
She already felt a sense of belonging to Xia Keqing's women's clothing store.
There is an illusion that she has shed blood and tears here, this is her "battlefield".
"Yes, very good. It's really amazing."
Mrs. Shen is just limited by the times and her cognition, so her vision is limited, but she is not stupid.
After working at Keqing for half a month, she had almost figured out how much money Xia Keqing could earn in a month.
Oh my god!
This was a number she had never dared to imagine, but she ended up earning it in just one month.
Keqing women's clothing store almost has no off-season. They launch various warm and good-looking suits in winter, and the latest season of spring clothes just after the first month of the lunar year. It is said that they will launch refreshing summer suits as soon as spring arrives to help you create the illusion of long legs and a slim waist.
It’s the end of summer and people are coming back, do you want some fall outfit guide?
Who can bear this?
To use the words of Qin Qiaowei, as long as a woman enters Keqing, she will be skinned alive.
This is of course an exaggeration.
But it also indirectly proves how popular Ke Qing is.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Shen knew some of Xia Keqing's plans.
She has a very direct personality and we meet quite often, so she will speak directly and ask directly if she has any ideas. So she knew that Xia Keqing had plans to open branches and expand the scale.
Although in her opinion, this idea was a bit radical.
As far as she knows, this is how long the store has been open.
Is it too fast to open a new store so soon?
However, Mrs. Shen thought that she had no right to give orders to her third brother's wife.
How old is my third brother’s wife? She has opened all the profitable shops. It is said that she has already negotiated cooperation with manufacturers in Shenzhen, so there is basically no problem with the supply of goods. This is also what Mrs. Shen admires most about her.
Besides, the current store manager is Wang Wanzhen. If a new store is opened and new employees are recruited, there must be a store manager to coordinate the planning. Wouldn’t this be an opportunity for her and Qin Qiaowei?
Although Mrs. Shen's qualifications are a few months less than Qin Qiaowei's, she is older and can control the situation, so she is not without the ability to compete.
But in the end, Xia Keqing has the final say.
Xia Keqing wanted to say something when Brother Shen came back.
He carried a bag of flour and a large basin with a bag of salt in it. After putting the things down, he went to get a plastic ladle for scooping water.
Mrs. Shen immediately stepped forward to help.
"We don't have a special surface for rolling noodles here, so let's use this table instead. I'll put a mat on it."
Brother Shen said nothing, and after Sister Shen laid out the mat, he strictly followed the order of Mother Shen’s kneading the dough.
Looking at Brother Shen's serious and meticulous appearance, Xia Keqing couldn't help rubbing her face.
Mrs. Shen looked at her nose with her eyes, and her heart with her nose, looking a little embarrassed.
She hurried forward to help.
She has been married to the Shen family for more than ten years, so naturally she has seen Shen's mother making hand-rolled noodles many times.
As for why she didn't learn it, firstly, Shen's mother didn't take the initiative to mention it, and secondly, her health was not good, and it looked difficult for her to roll the noodles by hand.
But I still know the steps.
The couple had been married for many years and had a tacit understanding of each other, so they kneaded the dough quickly.
After kneading it, Brother Shen also poked it a few times, imitating Mother Shen’s behavior.
Perhaps he was not sure, so he poked it several more times.
Mrs. Shen: ...
She frowned and couldn't help saying, "Just poke once, why do you poke so many times? I'll just poke once!"
Brother Shen: ...
He couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not sure..."
Mrs. Shen was speechless. She looked at Xia Keqing again and smiled awkwardly, "He just poked around blindly..."
Xia Keqing: ...
She thought of Shen Jichuan's taciturn appearance and wondered, are all men in the Shen family born to be henpecked?
No, definitely not.
It seems that the saying "economic base determines superstructure" is absolutely correct.
In the past, everyone lived in the countryside and there was almost no economic difference.
However, the traditional atmosphere of men working outside and women working inside still allows women to have some say.
But at that time, the sister-in-law's attitude towards the brother was definitely not the same as it is now.
Xia Keqing was looking at the couple and daydreaming when Brother Shen had already started rolling the noodles.
That action was quite inspired by Mother Shen.
Even Mrs. Shen was a little surprised, "Oh, it really looks good!"
Brother Shen smiled shyly.
Xia Keqing said: "If you want to make noodles, why not open a noodle shop. It's a way to make a living after all."
In fact, Xia Keqing knew that in this era, with a little luck and means, one could get rich by setting up a street stall. How is running a noodle shop not a legitimate business?
Mrs. Shen's thoughts were confirmed, but she was a little bit unbelievable.
"How can this be possible? Our old Shen, he is not very capable..."
If she had just come out of the village, Mrs. Shen would not have said such words.
He is a tall and strong man, and looks no worse than the others. Besides, how can a man say no?
But after going through so much, Mrs. Shen really has no confidence.
I was working at the construction site and could earn hundreds of dollars a month, but he ruined it.
Not only did it fail, but someone almost got into trouble.
If something really happened, how would she explain it to her parents-in-law with her two children?
From this we can see that the Shen family, including the two daughters-in-law who married into the family, have a really good relationship with their parents-in-law!
When Brother Shen heard this, he wanted to refute, but he didn't have the confidence, so he had to roll the noodles silently.
Xia Keqing said, "Why not? Just try it and you'll know if it works."
"If my eldest brother can make noodles as chewy as my mother's, why can't it be possible?"
This gave Mrs. Shen some confidence.
Yes, if the noodles made by her man can be as delicious as those made by her mother, then people should eat them. Even if she doesn’t make a lot of money, at least she won’t lose money.
Besides, her husband just doesn’t know how to get along with others and is not good at talking. It should be okay if he just works in the kitchen.
When Mrs. Shen was in the countryside, what she saw most was her husband's back.
The way he worked hard and his broad back made her feel he was very reliable.
"But……"
Mrs. Shen's face turned red.
Xia Keqing: "Money is not a problem. I can lend it to you first, and then you can pay me back when you make money."
