Chapter 122 (Page 1/2)
Tang Lihong had nothing to do, so she sat in front of the cashier, leisurely waiting for customers to come.
Whenever someone came to buy clothes, she would quickly stand up when she saw that her daughter was too busy, warmly greet the customer, and help collect the money to avoid being miscalculated by Zhang Fen like when she first arrived.
Time flies, and it is almost eleven o'clock in the morning.
Tang Lihong turned to Song Jingjing, who was tidying the shelves, and said, "Jingjing, Mommy has to go home to cook for your dad. Come back to the store to help out this afternoon."
Hearing this, Song Jingjing quickly put down the work in her hands and said, "Okay, Mom, you've worked hard."
Tang Lihong waved her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, stop being so polite with Mom and just take care of the store. By the way, has your mother-in-law left yet?"
Song Jingjing thought for a moment and replied, "She must have gone back with Qingyan. Now only Sister Xu, Ranran, and Yanyan are at home."
Tang Lihong nodded and said, "Oh, I see. Then go back early for lunch and don't let the two little ones go hungry. Especially Ranran, who gets out of breath when he starts crying. It's really worrying."
Song Jingjing quickly replied, "I know, Mom. I'll definitely be back at twelve o'clock, so don't worry."
After hearing this, Tang Lihong stood up with relief and prepared to leave.
However, the moment she turned around, Song Jingjing seemed to suddenly remember something important. She hurriedly took a bright red sweater and a pair of black pants from the shelf, and then quickly chased after her.
"Mom, wait a minute!" Song Jingjing shouted, "This is a set of clothes. Give it to my sister-in-law. Consider it a gift from me to her."
Tang Lihong stopped and looked at the clothes in her daughter's hands. She asked in confusion, "Why are you giving her clothes if there's nothing wrong?"
Song Jingjing explained, "I borrowed money from you to open the shop. My sister-in-law found out about this and she's been arguing with my brother. I sent her some clothes just to make her stop."
Tang Lihong waved her hand and said, "Jingjing, these clothes should be kept in the store for sale. What if you give this set of clothes to your sister-in-law today and she asks you for it again someday?
Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If your sister-in-law wants to buy clothes, you can give her a lower price. It’s better not to give her clothes as a gift.
You're in debt now and have five children to support, so you can't just give away clothes casually."
Song Jingjing started to feel a headache when she heard her mother nagging like a mantra, "Okay, Mom. I'll give this dress to my sister-in-law as a token of my appreciation.

I know that brothers should settle accounts clearly, so when my sister-in-law comes to the store to buy clothes, I will definitely accept her money."
Tang Lihong took the bag of clothes and turned away.
Zhang Fen stood there in silence, her eyes following Tang Lihong's retreating figure, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. She couldn't help but think about Song Jingjing again.
A voice in Zhang Fen's heart was muttering that Song Jingjing seemed to have two faces.
When dealing with people from her husband's family, she always seems so stingy and likes to quibble.
However, she was extremely generous towards her mother's family. Even if her sister-in-law had a problem with her, she would still try to please her.
Zhang Fen really didn't understand how Song Jingjing's husband could endure all this.
Today is the first day of the new store's opening, and Zhang Fen is looking forward to making a big splash and placing more orders.
However, Song Jingjing's previous behavior disappointed her. She did not expect that Song Jingjing would want to deduct her salary on the first day.
Zhang Fen thought, if she had known this would happen, she might not have chosen to change jobs to help her.
When she worked in Aunt Lin's shop before, although she always felt that she was outdone by others and sometimes even ignored, at least she was not often called stupid by Aunt Song like today.
At least no one will be mean to her or threaten to deduct her salary.
Zhang Fen sighed softly. She knew that it was useless to say these things now. No matter how much she regretted it, Aunt Lin would never want her.
At exactly twelve o'clock, Song Jingjing, who had been busy all morning, finally saw off the last guest.
She turned back behind the counter and opened the drawer. Inside was the cash she had collected earlier in the day, along with some scattered coins.
She carefully took out all the money, counted it carefully, and then stuffed it back into her bag with satisfaction.
She waved to Zhang Fen who was standing beside her and said, "Zhang Fen, I don't provide meals here, you should go back and eat at noon."
Zhang Fen hesitated and replied, "Aunt Song, but Aunt Lin's shop doesn't close at noon, so there will be customers during this time. I think I should stay here, just in case someone comes to buy something."
Song Jingjing shook her head. "No need. You've worked hard today. Go back and rest for a while. Come back this afternoon. I'll be in the store, don't worry."
Zhang Fen thought, if Song Jingjing closed the shop at noon, how would she make up for the four dollars she lost?
Seeing Zhang Fen's anxious face, Song Jingjing patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, Xiaofen, it's settled."
