Chapter 14 Confession?
"Jiaojiao, you misunderstood me. I didn't say we should get engaged right away. I thought we could talk about it first." Liang Kun raised his hand to smooth back the strands of hair on his forehead, making a gesture he thought was very cool. "It's my mom and the others who are too anxious. They insist on settling the marriage first. In the final analysis, they're afraid that I'll bring another girl home. I don't like you just because you're my mom's niece. I, I've liked you for a long time."
One day three years ago, Su Xiumei and Liang Wencai quarreled over a trivial matter. They started fighting and the dishes were smashed all over the floor. He left the house without even eating.
It was raining outside and he was wandering around the street in a depressed mood.
He happened to meet Su Jiaojiao who was selling vegetables on the roadside. She enthusiastically gave him an umbrella and advised him to go home. The two walked in the rain for a long time and talked a lot. At that time, Su Jiaojiao was only fourteen years old and had a lively and cheerful personality. She advised him not to take these things to heart and said that quarrels between couples were normal and asked him not to think too much about it.
He lost his mother at a young age and was a pitiful child in the eyes of others. Relatives and friends all advised Liang Wencai to remarry, even if it was just for him. After Su Xiumei married him, she cared about him in front of others but ignored him behind their backs. He was sensitive and lonely in his heart, and at that moment, he developed a good impression of this cousin.
Perhaps, Su Jiaojiao had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, but he could not forget it. He could not forget the warmth she brought him on that rainy day.
"But I don't like you!" Su Jiaojiao really didn't remember what happened on that rainy day. She was quite surprised to hear Liang Kun say this. "Cousin, I'm going to school in a few days and I have to take the college entrance exam in the future. Even if I find a partner, it will be after I graduate from college."
As far as she could remember, she and Liang Kun had no connection at all.
Why did he like her?
"So you brought Su Cuicui to my house to disgust me?" Liang Kun saw her resolute attitude, and a burst of sarcasm welled up in his eyes. "What do you think of me? I, Liang Kun, am not someone who can be with anyone, and not everyone can enter my house!"
"Cousin, it's not me who lives in your house, so you don't need to tell me this." Su Jiaojiao stood up and left. In her previous life, Liang Kun hadn't made things difficult for her, and she didn't want to say anything excessive to him. Liang Kun stood behind her, looking at her back, and said meaningfully, "Jingjiao, your father has been together with Gao Meifeng from their factory for a long time. They live in the village behind their Qimei Garment Factory. Your grandmother, your aunt, and Su Cuicui's family all know about it."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm not in a hurry about our relationship. You can take your time to think about it. I'll wait for you!"
"Liang Kun, don't worry about my family's affairs. Let's keep our distance from each other from now on." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to continue arguing with him. She raised her hand to stop a green taxi and returned to Wutong Village.
The fare cost her seven dollars, and she felt bad.
When Su Jiaojiao came back, she didn't tell Chen Guilan about catching the thief, she just said that she accidentally twisted her ankle.
Chen Guilan felt very distressed. She went to the village clinic to get some plaster to help her apply it, and told her not to walk around. "I'll go with you to the market next time. I don't know how to sell goods, so I can help you watch the stall."
"Okay, let's go together." Su Jiaojiao didn't dare to really rest. The next morning, she went to her second uncle's house to borrow a bicycle and went to Hualian Shopping Mall. There was no end to the work in the fields, so it was not a big deal to delay for a whole morning.
It would be best to have Chen Guilan's help. Sooner or later, her mother will have to leave the farm to help her with the business.
She was reborn, but she was not a god, and there were some things she couldn't handle on her own.
Su Jiaojiao still went to the third floor to buy some cloth. The owner recognized Su Jiaojiao and said she was going to restock the goods. She readily gave her a pile of cloth as defective products. The cloth cost twenty yuan, and she only charged thirteen yuan, which was seven yuan cheaper. This made Su Jiaojiao very happy, as it saved her the money for a taxi.
Seeing that the owner was a straightforward person, she simply used all the remaining money to buy her black polyester oxford cloth and various accessories. The owner was also very happy. She used the calculator to press some buttons and gave her a 20% discount on the goods worth 100 yuan. After all the discounts, she still had 5 yuan left.
Su Jiaojiao was very satisfied.
Such fabric, such price is really not expensive!
On the way here, she was thinking that it was not only Aunt Liu's wallet that was stolen because it was left casually. Most of the stall owners in the whole fair kept their money in their pockets. It was not that they lacked awareness of anti-theft, but that there was no bag on the market that was truly designed for them.
Even if there are, the high price will stop them.
If she made some anti-theft waist bags and sold them at the market, she believed there would definitely be a market for them.
There are also many people who go to the market, and they hang their wallets on the handlebars like Li Li.
Therefore, whether they are sellers or buyers, they are all her customers.
As soon as you think of it, do it immediately.
Time waits for no one!
Chen Guilan was very familiar with making hair ornaments, but she was not very good at making waist bags. She touched the fabrics and said that the presser foot of the sewing machine might not be suitable. Su Jiaojiao was well prepared and had already bought a serrated presser foot, nylon thread, and machine oil.
The presser foot that comes with the sewing machine is flat and cannot penetrate such thick fabric. Ordinary thread cannot be used to make a waist bag because it is not strong.
Nylon thread is inherently astringent and prone to stitch skipping, and it also needs to be soaked in engine oil before use.
In her previous life, when she first went to the imperial capital, she worked in a luggage factory.
I am very good at making bags.
Relying on her memory, Su Jiaojiao found a newspaper, cut out a pattern, and hand-sewed a sample. In order to save costs, she designed a single-layer large pocket. The auxiliary materials were a zipper, two wide elastic bands, and a pair of plastic buckles.
The mother and daughter worked day and night for four days before they finally finished making the headband and waist bag.
There are more than 300 head flowers and 30 waist bags.
Su Jiaojiao calculated the cost and priced the waist bags at ten yuan each.
The material cost of each waist bag is a little over three yuan. In fact, the fabric is not expensive, but the accessories are more expensive than the fabric. The accessories she uses are of good quality, and the cost is also several cents more expensive. Of course, there are also the labor costs of her and her mother. If the labor costs are included, the cost will increase.
This kind of waist bag can be sold for fifteen yuan in the market.
But she was anxious to recover her funds, so she still sold a lot at a low profit.
Su Xiumei was so angry at Su Jiaojiao that she couldn't eat. That damn girl actually set up a stall at the market, and was seen by her colleagues. If Li Li knew that Su Jiaojiao was her niece, where would she put her face?
Because Liang Wencai was at home, she held her anger in her stomach.
After Liang Wencai left for work, she continued to complain to Xu Yuxiang, "That girl is such a jinx! Li Li bought her some hair ornaments, and then her wallet was stolen. Although she got it back safely, she's now in trouble. Isn't that unlucky?"
"What happened?" Xu Yuxiang was confused.
