"A coat is 55 yuan, a trench coat is 45 yuan, and a sweater is 35 yuan, right?!"
"Yes, but when you sell it, you can't honestly quote this price. You have to tell people that the original price is fifty-six or fifty-eight yuan per piece, and you can give a discount of one or three yuan to your own people. When others hear that they can get such a discount, they will definitely be willing to buy it."
“I understand. It’s like how we like to bargain when we buy things. If you bargain with them, they feel like they paid too much. Even if they get a discount of just one cent, they still feel like they’ve overpaid.”
"That's right, that's the situation. Moreover, clothing doesn't have a fixed price. You can sell it for fifty-five, others can sell it for fifty-six, or fifty-five. Whoever sells it for the highest price has the best skills."
"Old Su, is this all the bottom price you offered me?!"
"Yes, this is the lowest price I've told everyone to sell it at. I don't care who sells it for more."
"If I sell it for fifty-six, will you still give me a two-dollar commission?!"
“If you sell it for 55 yuan, I'll give you a 2 yuan commission. If you sell it for 56 yuan, I'll give you a 2 yuan commission, and the extra yuan is yours.”
"Really?!"
"Of course, selling at a high price and in large quantities depends on your ability."
...
After Sister Lu and Qiao Jiuru got the information and understood, she was full of energy and enthusiasm.
Qiao Jiuru imparted her business acumen to Sister Lu in detail, and after explaining everything clearly, she hurried back to cook dinner.
After she left, Sister Lu quickly packed all ten coats, five trench coats, and five sweaters into her room.
It was already time to make dinner, and she was thinking of taking these clothes to her former colleagues and friends to try and sell them.
After much anticipation from Sister Lu, her son and daughter-in-law finally returned.
"Eat quickly, I have something to do after I finish eating."
For the first time, Sister Lu was so eager to urge her family to eat early, and she had already filled her own plate beforehand, so she didn't bother to fill the plates for her beloved granddaughters.
Huang Xue was extremely puzzled by her mother's obviously abnormal behavior and couldn't help but ask her directly.
"Mom, what's wrong?! Why are you in such a hurry today?!"
Normally, his mother, being the kind of person who never urges or tells anyone to eat, and waits until everyone is seated before she picks up her bowl to eat. But now, before everyone is even seated and the others haven't even finished eating, his mother is already starting to eat as if waiting for everyone else to finish.
"After I finish eating, I want to go find your Aunt Fang. I'll ask her if she has any good stuff."
As she spoke, Sister Lu shoveled two more mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, making no attempt to hide anything from her son.
At this moment, the daughter-in-law standing nearby became very curious after hearing this.
"Mom, what good stuff is this?!"
As she asked, she glanced around the house, but didn't find anything unusual.
Moreover, she hadn't heard of any relatives visiting, so where did her mother-in-law get all this good stuff?!
"Someone gave me a job selling clothes for someone else. I get a two-dollar commission for each item I sell. I checked the clothes, and the quality and style are really good. They're from the south, and the styles are very popular in Hong Kong. I heard that female celebrities there wear these clothes on TV, and they look so good and beautiful."
My family must have kept it from me. Sister Lu did mention it, but she didn't say that Qiao Jiuru gave me the goods.
What? !
His mom/her mother-in-law sells clothes for someone?!
Huang Xue and his wife were both shocked and looked at Sister Lu in surprise.
However, the couple had the same idea.
"Mom, what do those clothes look like?! Can I take a look?!"
The female celebrities in Hong Kong all wear clothes like this, so they must look really good. She really wants to see it.
"Mom, can you trust the people who sell clothes?! They'd probably try to scam you, wouldn't they?!"
Huang Xue was worried that his mother would be deceived. He knew that the old lady had no other income besides her pension over the years and had always been at ease at home.
"Of course I can trust you. I'm not stupid, I'll trust anyone. Come closer, I'll tell you."
Sister Lu knew that her son was always cautious, especially after all the things that had happened in recent years; he had always been very careful. Therefore, she was willing to tell him.
His mother was whispering something to him, and Huang Xue obediently leaned in. The old lady immediately put her lips to her mouth and quickly whispered three words.
"Mom, I didn't hear you."
By the time her daughter-in-law curiously came over, she had already finished speaking, prompting her daughter-in-law to quickly chime in.
"You've heard the right thing."
Sister Lu was very satisfied with the result. She only told her son, not her daughter-in-law.
"You can tell your wife about this."
She then turned around and personally instructed her son in front of her daughter-in-law that he was very important and that he could only speak now.
Huang Xue-dong came to his senses at this moment and nodded heavily to his mother, knowing the gravity of the situation.
I never expected...
"How do I know that?!"
The daughter-in-law started muttering to herself, she was really curious to death. But, the mother and daughter both told her.
"Mom, I'll wash the dishes after dinner. Why don't you take Yanling with you? It'll be safer on the road with more people around."
Huang Xue came to eat, took a couple of bites, and then gave his instructions.
He was a man, so he personally accompanied his mother to the door.
"Okay, Mom will listen to you."
Sister Lu thought about it and agreed. She remembered what Qiao Jiuru had said: to unite all forces that could be united and to develop all people who could be developed.
My own daughter-in-law is someone I can develop a relationship with.
“Great, I’ll go with Mom.”
When Wang Yanling heard that she was to accompany her mother-in-law, how could she possibly be happy?! She was even more eager and proactive.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished their dinner quickly, and then Sister Lu went inside to retrieve the goods.
She only took three coats, two sweaters, and two trench coats, which she put into one bag before coming here.
Following her mother-in-law's instructions, Wang Yanling rode her bicycle away from the family compound and headed straight for the home of her mother-in-law's best friend, who lived closest to their house.
