Chapter 290 Second Aunt Asks Her to Buy a Sewing Machine
Su Xiaoxiao also saw Zhang Guifang coming in at this time, and thought to herself, this second aunt hasn't made trouble for a long time, what trouble is she planning to make today?
Seeing that the two men looked like they didn't like her, Zhang Guifang didn't care.
As soon as he saw the pile of white flour cakes on the mattress, he swallowed uncontrollably.
"Sister-in-law, where are the pancakes? They're made with white flour, they smell delicious."
Liu Cuilan still didn't know what she was thinking, and she wasn't satisfied with taking advantage of her.
His face darkened immediately: "They are all made of pure white flour, how can they not smell good? If you have anything to say, please tell me right away. My third son has to go on a business trip tomorrow and needs to go to bed early."
This was clearly a tone of voice that was meant to chase someone away, but Zhang Guifang didn't understand anything at the time.
"Oh my, Xiaoxiao is so capable now. She can even go on business trips."
In their eyes, business trips are the job of leading cadres, but they didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao, a small salesperson, could also go on a business trip.
"That's right. My third son is very hardworking. He is provided with food and lodging every day when he is on a business trip. His salary is still paid, and he even gets several yuan in allowance every day."
Liu Cuilan deliberately said loudly, it was Zhang Guifang who always called her third daughter a money-loser and a girl, and she was holding a grudge against her.
Look at this money-losing girl, what's she like? She's still more promising than your big boy.
"By the way, hasn't your Zhiqiang found a job yet? I heard from my third brother a few days ago that the department store is looking for a temporary cleaner. I'd like my third brother to recommend one to your Zhiqiang."
Liu Cuilan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao as she spoke, and she immediately understood what she meant. Her mother was holding her anger and deliberately trying to irritate her second aunt.
Her mother's stage has been set up, and she must cooperate.
"Yes, Second Aunt, look, if my eldest cousin goes, we're all related, and I'll definitely help put in a good word for him. It's a good idea to keep the money within the family. Even though cleaning only makes a few dozen yuan a month, it's better than my eldest cousin idling around at home every day, isn't it?"
Zhang Guifang felt like cursing. How could her eldest child possibly be doing cleaning? Wasn't that something only old men and women did? These two were clearly insulting her.
But she had something to ask for, so she couldn't let it get to her face. She forced a smile and said, "Your cousin is a grown man, but he's never swept the floor at home. I don't think he can do this job."
"Well...Xiaoxiao, I heard your store has that mini electric sewing machine. Your cousin's wife wants one. Could you help ask for it? Do you have an insider price?"
She had heard that buying from Su Xiaoxiao was much cheaper than going to a department store.
Originally, she was unwilling to bow to Liu Cuilan because her daughter-in-law from the city was making a lot of trouble and insisted on buying a sewing machine before she would let her father help find a job for Zhiqiang.
"Oh, you want to buy a sewing machine?"
Su Xiaoxiao dragged out her tone, "I'm sorry, Second Aunt, I really can't help you with this. I'm just a small salesperson and I don't have that ability. If you want to buy it, you'd better go directly to the department store and queue up."
Zhang Guifang thought, isn't this just to save some money? Otherwise, she wouldn't have humbled herself to come to these mother and daughter.
"My third child has already said that he can't help. If you don't have anything else, please leave immediately and don't disturb my third child's rest."
While Liu Cuilan was talking, she had already finished baking the pancakes and was about to go into the house with the mat in her hand. She took the time to turn around and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Third brother, please help me bring the griddle in and close the door."
This is directly kicking people out.
Zhang Guifang's face was blue and red. She didn't expect that her sister-in-law would not have any feelings for her at all.
When she thought of the noisy daughter-in-law at home, she gritted her teeth and looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, Second Aunt knows that you are now highly valued by the leaders in the department store, so just consider it as a favor for me."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her with the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. In her memory, Second Aunt had never spoken to her in such a gentle tone.
Basically, as soon as they open their mouths, they say things like "you little bastard" and "you're a money-loser."
"Second Aunt, I'm not a leader in the department store. I really can't help you with this matter. Please go back quickly."
These two people are stubborn.
Zhang Guifang was so angry that her face turned black, but she could do nothing but go home angrily.
Not only did the thing not get done, but I was also very angry.
She walked in with a dark face, and as soon as she entered, Su Zhiqiang came up to her anxiously: "Mom, what's going on? Did that damn girl agree?"
"You absolutely agree to this! You're almost kicking me out! Your wife already has a sewing machine at home, so why does she insist on using that crappy electric sewing machine? Can you sew anything beautiful with that thing?"
Zhang Guifang was so angry that she had no place to vent it, so she started to vent it at Su Zhiqiang.
"How about I go and beg her tomorrow?"
Su Zhiqiang was a little scared when he thought of his wife's ferocious appearance.
"What are you begging for? That damn girl is going on a business trip tomorrow, and I don't know when she'll be back."
Zhang Guifang picked up the enamel pot and took a big gulp of water.
"Mom, did you say Su Xiaoxiao will be on a business trip tomorrow?"
Unexpectedly, when Su Zhiqiang heard her say this, his face was full of excitement.
"Yeah, your aunt is still showing off to me, showing off how successful that little girl is. Why are you guys so unmotivated that you can't even catch up with that money-losing girl?"
The more Zhang Guifang thought about it, the angrier she became. Why was Liu Cuilan so lucky?
She used to be the village chief’s wife. Now her three children all have proper jobs, and she has also contracted the canteen of a department store.
Look at the men in her family, each one is more useless than the other. He finally married a city girl, but she is just like his ancestors day by day.
It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
"Mom, isn't this perfect? That girl isn't here, so we can do this..."
Su Zhiqiang excitedly leaned over to Zhang Guifang's ear and whispered something.
Zhang Guifang looked skeptical. "Will this work? What if there really isn't an internal price?"
"How is that possible? If there wasn't an internal price, how could that damn girl buy it for someone else so cheaply? She can't be mentally ill and lose money to help others with it, right?"
Zhang Guifang agreed and nodded. "Okay, let's do it. After all, our relatives are real, and even that girl won't be able to find fault with them when she comes back."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know yet that she had been plotted against by this mother and son.
I am happily packing my luggage for a business trip tomorrow.
This was her first business trip since she came to this era, and she felt both excited and nervous.
Liu Cuilan let the pancakes cool down and wrapped them in a white cloth for her: "Third brother, these are for you to eat when you are hungry on the road."
As he said that, he stuffed a can of pickled cabbage shreds into her hand.
"I'll boil a few more eggs for you tomorrow morning. You can't go hungry on the road, even if you're poor at home."
Liu Cuilan said this and went out to cook. Su Xiaoxiao looked at the big bag of pancakes in her hands and felt a little touched.
After a day's work, she would busy herself with preparing food for her. Only her mother could do this.
Su Xiaoxiao put the things away, then remembered the apple that she had temporarily placed in the space, and hurriedly took it out.
Fruits are rare these days, and she only has a few of them. If she were to bring them back, it would be difficult for her not to let so many acquaintances in the village taste them.
Just as she was about to take it out, she suddenly heard a familiar electronic prompt tone. Su Xiaoxiao opened it and her eyes lit up.
