But she will also feel sorry for herself. When the matter is investigated and she can get a job again and earn money, she will definitely apologize to Cheng Yunan.
Apologizing costs money anyway.
Zhang Xiaohui figured it out and went back to work.
On the contrary, Zhao Xianglan, seeing Zhang Xiaohui coming over, quickly put down her work and asked, "I just saw you looking for Cheng Zhiqing. Who are you looking for..."
"Of course I went to her to talk about the manual labor. How can you guys make money so I can make money too?" Zhang Xiaohui still wanted to make more money to have a full meal.
Zhao Xianglan's heart skipped a beat, but her expression was natural. She soon smiled and said kindly, "In fact, there is no need to talk to Cheng Zhiqing about this. We can just work together on what I brought back. When we make money, we'll split it in half. I've seen your craftsmanship with my own eyes, so I naturally trust you."
Zhang Xiaohui waved her hands, "Yes, it's used. How can I take advantage of a job that you have worked so hard to get? Besides, our skills are the same. Your stitches are even and the needle holes are thick, while mine are even and will not fall off. You can see it at a glance when you send it to them.
Just now, Cheng Zhiqing promised me that she would help me to inquire carefully. "
"What?! Cheng Zhiqing took the initiative to offer to help you find out?" Zhao Xianglan said as she passed by, looking flustered.
Although Zhang Xiaohui was straightforward, she was also stupid. Seeing Zhao Xianglan's expression, she asked, "Why do I feel like you care about me, but it seems like you are guilty! Did you do something behind my back to offend me? Tell me now!"
Zhao Xianglan cursed him in her heart, but said with a gentle expression: "No, I'm just afraid that you'll be too direct and cause a conflict with Cheng Zhiqing. After all, it was Cheng Zhiqing who got this job. If you really annoy him, it will be easier for you to get jobs in the future!"
Zhang Xiaohui said happily, "Don't worry, I know my own skills very well. You praised my skills as better than yours before. It's because Lu's sister-in-law knows the goods. You are deliberately picking faults to single out mine.
Now that Cheng Zhiqing is helping me, I believe Mrs. Lu will not dare to embarrass me openly.
Come to think of it, Cheng Yunan is not a bad person, not as bad as you said. I blamed her wrongly before, but now that she has helped me get this done, I have been saying bad things about her behind her back!
I'm sorry, but when I can get a job myself, I won't be able to help you anymore, so you should do what you bring back yourself this time."
That’s right, half of the work that Zhao Xianglan had received before was done by Zhang Xiaohui.
She made all kinds of patterns and designs, and the colors she matched were particularly eye-catching, while Zhao Xianglan was responsible for rolling the sewn fabric into patterns and then fixing it to the rubber bands. It can be seen from the appearance that it was completed by two people in collaboration.
With her help, Zhao Xianglan can complete her handicrafts quickly and well, and naturally earn a lot of money every month.
Of course, she was also helping out for free. Zhao Xianglan took the lion's share, and she could get a share of the labor costs.
Just last month she received four yuan in labor fees.
For Zhao Xianglan, the four dollars were worth it. She could gain Zhang Xiaohui's gratitude and a good reputation.
Zhang Xiaohui's skill in making hair flowers is poor, so why did Li Hongmei use it? This naturally detracts from Zhao Xianglan's contribution.
At this time, Cheng Yunan had already returned home. Seeing Li Hongmei busy, I didn't rush over to disturb her.
Li Hongmei was the first to stop and said, "Third sister-in-law is back. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook for you?"
Now the third child is the treasure of the family, so she still has to take better care of him. After all... her body is in his hands.
Anyway, she had already caught up with the third brother's Lu family in their hearts, so she didn't think about competing for it anymore.
Besides, she had tried to argue before.
Fortunately, the third son's wife would join the army soon, and she would hardly see him once a year, so she had to pretend to be magnanimous.
Well, she is such a realistic woman.
"I'm still hungry after using it, sister-in-law. I have something to ask you!"
"Something?! What is it? Just ask." Li Hongmei sat back next to Cheng Yunan.
"It's about Zhang Xiaohui. She said she came to take on some work before, but then you returned the work she had done. Is that true?"
"Zhang Xiaohui? What did she tell you?" Li Hongmei was still a little puzzled as to why he suddenly asked about Zhang Xiaohui.
"When she came to talk to me, she said her craftsmanship was up to standard. She also said that when she was in the city, she learned from her cousin who was an apprentice in a tailor shop. I also saw her sew patches, and the stitches were fine and detailed, and she seemed to have some ingenuity. With her ability, she should be able to do it."
Li Hongmei frowned more and more as she listened. "Wait a minute, I still have the hair flower that Zhang Xiaohui gave me. I'll show it to you and you'll know."
Li Hongmei got up and went to the yard where they lived.
The family had specially set aside a place for storing hair flowers, and Li Hongmei quickly took out a bag.
"This is what Zhang Xiaohui sent. Other villagers can repair it if they do a good job, but Zhang Xiaohui's can't be repaired. All these fabrics and rubber bands are wasted. If you think it's easy for a girl like her to come to the countryside, I must go to her in person and ask for the price."
When Li Hongmei said this, she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
What did Zhang Xiaohui do to make Li Hongmei so angry? Now it was Cheng Yunan's turn to be curious.
After opening the bundle and seeing the amount, I knew that Zhang Hui took too little to sew, and she was tired...
Cheng Yunan picked up an orange pumpkin hairband. The color of the pumpkin was very good, and green leaves were used as the base.
There are not many people who do this kind of matching, with head flowers and hairpins, all of which are very cute. If you take them out, the girl will definitely like them.
Just pinch the hairpin open, open it a few times and the spring at the back will bounce back, and the middle shaft seems to be deliberately damaged.
The same thing happened with the hair rope. The string used to tie the pumpkin flower was very thin and it broke after just two ties.
These are still some problems, the most serious one is the headband, which has jumpers and cracks in several places.
When I opened it again, I saw that the entire piece of fabric looked like it had been deliberately cut open and there was no way to sew it back together.
Headbands use the most fabric, and we always choose the fabrics with the best patterns and the smoothest textures.
If this is abandoned, the cost will be wasted.
Li Hongmei pointed at these things and said, "Tell me, with all the things she made, would I dare to use her?
She seems like a normal girl, and although she is a bit talkative, she is very efficient at work, so I even assigned her more tasks.
Who knew she would hand me such a pile of junk? She still had the nerve to ask you for mercy. She is clearly doing it on purpose to ruin our hair business. If I dare to use her again, I will be a fool."
Li Hongmei became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She suddenly stood up, wrapped up the bag in Cheng Yunan's arms, took it and walked away, saying, "Okay, I'll swallow my anger and go find her, so she won't think that I'm deliberately ostracizing her and giving her manual work."
