"By the way, can you pay me back part of the money I borrowed from you last time?" Jiang Sanni hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke with some reluctance.
The doting expression on Fu Yunsheng's face froze, and there was a hint of evasion in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Sanni.
"Why are you talking about this suddenly? Didn't I tell you that my father and mother are raising money now, and it may not be available all at once, so I asked you to wait a little longer." Jiang Sanni had never mentioned this matter for such a long time, and Fu Yunsheng thought that the other party would never mention it again.
After all, more than 50,000 yuan is a huge sum for ordinary people, but for the Jiang family, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Don't think he doesn't know how much profit Jiang Yilu's few hot pot restaurants can bring.
Fu Yunsheng's family didn't buy a TV, and he didn't care much about the things women care about most, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Therefore, he didn't know that Jiang Yilu also opened a food factory, which was the same brand as the hot pot restaurant.
"You've seen what happened to my grandma. As her granddaughter, I should do my part. Besides, the family has spent a lot of money recently. My grandparents have all the money in their hands. My parents probably don't have much saved. I have to help out a little. I can't put all the pressure on my sister and brother."
When Fu Yunsheng's family got into trouble, Jiang Sanni not only asked Jiang Yiliu for the 50,000 yuan, but also gave Fu Yunsheng the 2,000 yuan she had saved over the years. Now she is penniless. She knows that her uncle and Xiaobao have money, but it is their money, and she cannot shamelessly let them pay for her share.
Jiang Sanni just wanted to get some of the money back from Fu Yunsheng, and there was no rush for the rest.
When Fu Yunsheng borrowed money from her, he also said that his parents would find a way to borrow some money from relatives. The money she borrowed was just for emergency use. These days have passed, and she should pay back the one or two thousand yuan.
"I don't know if my family can come up with the money now. After all, the hole my father made is too big." Fu Yunsheng looked guilty. "If you are worried, I can write you an IOU. When I have money, I will pay you back."
"Besides, your grandma's accident was mainly caused by your uncle paying for it. What does it have to do with you, her granddaughter?" Fu Yunsheng couldn't figure out Jiang Sanni's train of thought, but he was embarrassed to say it too obviously. "Besides, your brother is so capable. You don't need to worry about the medical expenses."
Fu Yunsheng's idea is the general idea of the public nowadays. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out, while sons inherit the family property and also bear the responsibility of supporting the elderly. Normally, if an elderly person is hospitalized, the medical expenses should be borne by all sons, while daughters are responsible for labor. However, if the daughter's family is well-off, she can also help her brothers.
However, if she is born in a confused family, it is very likely that the son will inherit the family property, and when the time comes, it will be the daughters who will provide financial and labor support for the elderly.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with Fu Yunsheng's words, but for some reason, Jiang Sanni felt a little uncomfortable listening to them.
"I'll go back and ask my parents, and they'll try to get some money together for you. Don't worry." Fu Yunsheng saw the hint of displeasure on Jiang Sanni's face, and immediately changed his tone, "But you know my family's current situation, and I don't think they can come up with much money."
"It's okay, just try to get as much as you can." Jiang Sanni's slightly raised brows relaxed, and she looked at Fu Yunsheng with a guilty look and comforted him a few words, "Don't worry, I like you as a person, and it has nothing to do with your family. When the time comes, we can pay off the money and live our lives in peace."
Jiang Sanni never confessed to Fu Yunsheng the origin of the money. She only said that she and her brother borrowed it and would pay it back in due time. She did not mention that the money was exchanged for the gold bars that her uncle had initially distributed to them.
"Thank you." Fu Yunsheng held Jiang Sanni's hand affectionately and looked at her as if he owned the whole world.
Jiang Sanni looked at the people coming and going outside the hospital, shyly broke free from his hand, lowered her head, and felt extremely embarrassed.
The moment she lowered her head, Fu Yunsheng looked at the top of her black hair, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
It seems that just hanging her up won't work, he should get her in his hands as soon as possible. Once the two of them are tied together, her money will be his money, and there is no need to pay back the 50,000 yuan. Doesn't Jiang Yilu like these sisters the most? He should be able to afford the betrothal gift of tens of thousands of yuan.
*******
"Sister, it's good that you came here. I just want to discuss something with you." Jiang Yilu didn't know what happened in the ward. At this moment, he was sitting with his elder sister in a newly built factory, talking about some things he had prepared long ago.
He had originally planned to discuss this matter with his eldest sister when he returned home, but something happened to his grandmother suddenly, so the matter was delayed. Only now that his grandmother's condition has stabilized, Jiang Yilu finally found time to bring his eldest sister to visit his newly built factory.
The affairs of the food factory have gradually been put on track. Jiang Yilu now asked Dani to come over, not to talk about the food factory, but the clothing factory he had planned to open for a long time.
Now is the budding period of the hot clothing business. After nearly 20 years of the black, white and blue period, the vast majority of Chinese people are looking forward to clothing with richer colors and more diverse styles. Women, especially, have long set their sights on those beautiful and eye-catching clothes in shopping malls. They would rather grit their teeth and spend half a month's salary to satisfy their vanity occasionally.
Take Aunt Jiang for example. Cloth coupons were so hard to come by back then, but she still had to make new clothes every once in a while. Now clothes are more beautiful and have more patterns, and Aunt Jiang can't help but love beauty. In addition to asking Jiang Dani to help make clothes, she occasionally asks Jiang Yiliu to bring clothes from the Capital Department Store. A skirt worth 34 yuan is enough for a month's living expenses, and Jiang Dazhen doesn't even blink an eye. If the skirt is beautiful, the female workers often ask Jiang Dazhen to let the nephews and nieces bring back a few more, and are willing to give some hard work fees, which is similar to the purchasing agent in later generations.
There is a reason why it is said that women's money is the easiest to earn.
Jiang Yilu has long had his eyes on this market.
"Ask me to open a garment factory?" Jiang Dani waved her hands after hearing her brother's words. She felt that she was not qualified for this position. Besides, she now had a stable job and a high income from making custom cheongsams, which already made her very satisfied.
"Sister, actually what I want you to do is not difficult at all." Jiang Yiliu ignored her elder sister's refusal. "Over the years, I have seen the clothes you have made for my second sister and Niuniu. In terms of the novelty of the styles, they are comparable to those of big brands, and sometimes even better. Haven't you noticed that whenever my second sister and Niuniu go out wearing the beautiful clothes you made, there are always people asking them where they bought the clothes or who made them. This is enough to prove that the clothes you designed are recognized by the vast majority of people."
Over the years, when Jiang Yilu asked her elder sister to make cheongsams for her, she also often brought some popular clothing magazines. Some of them were even sent from abroad. Although Jiang Dani could not understand the words on the magazines, she could draw inferences from looking at the beautiful clothing pictures and design better clothes.
As Jiang Dani's master, Mrs. Bai, said, she has a very high sensitivity to colors. The colors and styles she matches always give people an indescribable sense of comfort when they wear them.
Jiang Yilu felt that his eldest sister was born to be a designer.
"You don't have to refuse so quickly. We can give it a try first. You've also met Ruan Congzhao, right? He's Ruan Ruan's cousin. He came here to shoot a movie set in the Republic of China period in the inland area. I've already agreed with him that we will be responsible for the costumes of all the actors in the movie. We can also use this opportunity to see the market response."
Back then, Shanghai Tang became extremely popular in China, and Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chenchen were almost everywhere on the streets. The clothes of all the protagonists were imitated by various clothing manufacturers. The popularity lingered for a long time, and those manufacturers made a lot of money.
Jiang Yilu was confident that even if it was not the version of Shanghai that was popular in his previous life, the movie version of Shanghai was produced by him, and the costumes were conceived by his elder sister. This movie, which had never been made in his previous life, could at least create some splashes in everyone's hearts.
In an age of scarce entertainment, there is no reason why a movie like this, which is full of gorgeous costumes, passion, and complicated love, would not become popular.
"Designing clothes for the characters in the movie." Sister Jiang's mouth almost opened into an O shape and her head almost shook like a rattle. She only dared to design clothes for Erni and her own daughter. If these clothes were put on the movie screen, it would be so embarrassing. How could people watching the movie like it?
To be honest, Jiang Dani is still a little timid. Even though the clothes she has made have been very popular in recent years, she still lacks some confidence.
"Why not?" Jiang Yiliu asked solemnly, "The cheongsams you made are loved by the wives of the leaders. Big sister, you should have some confidence in yourself. Think about Niuniu. When she introduces her mother to her classmates in the future, do you want her to say that her mother is an ordinary female worker in a textile factory, or do you want her to introduce her mother to others as a designer, and the clothes she designed may be worn by them and their parents now."
Jiang Yilu knew that his elder sister cared about Niu Niu the most, so he simply used Niu Niu to motivate his elder sister.
"This..." Jiang Dani hesitated. Seeing her brother's encouraging eyes, she felt a fire she had never felt before in her heart. Her tone became firmer. "Then I'll try."
My brother is right. I must set a good example for Niu Niu. As a mother of my own daughter, I must not be a coward who doesn’t even dare to try.
Jiang Yilu smiled. The fish had finally taken the bait. It looked like his plan could be put into action.
The garment factory has been built, all the machines have been delivered to the factory, the staff have been recruited, and all the fabric manufacturers have been decided. Now we just have to wait for the clothing designs to be completed and put into production, and then for the film to be released and then put into the market.
