Chapter 201: Coming to quarrel
When she saw Su Houli again, Chen Guilan felt that he was a little unfamiliar.
They had met once when they were still at the Jiali Garment Factory. It had been almost a year now, and Chen Guilan had almost forgotten the existence of this person.
Su Houli was wearing a gray work suit and had a good-looking appearance, so he looked very imposing, just as before.
In the past, Chen Guilan was busy working in the fields and doing housework at home. She was covered in dust all day long and could only look up to Su Houli, who was dressed in a suit and tie. As long as he came home, she became a timid little wife.
She is different now. Su Houli's work is no longer mysterious to her, and this city is no longer mysterious. It's just like that.
The two walked to a secluded place.
Before Chen Guilan could speak, Su Houli angrily asked her, "What's wrong with your house?"
He was in dire straits, but the mother and daughter lived comfortably in their new house.
Being angry is real, and feeling unbalanced is also real.
"What's going on? We bought it ourselves." Chen Guilan was no longer afraid of him and even found his question funny. "Does it have anything to do with you?"
He is still like this.
No matter whether it is reasonable or not, overwhelm her with your momentum first.
"How can it have nothing to do with me? Do you know what people say about you?" Su Houli was furious when he saw Chen Guilan's outfit. "You're a country woman, dressed so flamboyantly, clearly trying to seduce men. Not only do you have this idea yourself, you also let your daughter follow the same path. How dare you say that Jiaojiao and Qin Xiuming are together? Don't you know?"
If this goes on, Su Jiaojiao will be ruined in her hands sooner or later.
"Others can say whatever they want, we don't care, why are you angry?" When Chen Guilan heard Su Houli say this, she wanted to slap him.
She knew who said it, it was either Su Xiumei or Chen Guichang, these two people just couldn't stand seeing others doing well.
If Su Houli was a sensible person, he would never come to me.
It can be seen that he has been working in vain all these years outside and can't even tell right from wrong.
"I'm practically drowning in spit. How can I not be angry?" Su Houli was furious when he saw Chen Guilan's attitude. "Who is Qin Xiuming? There's no future for him and Jiaojiao. How dare you take his house?"
With a snap.
Su Houli was slapped hard on the face. He was surprised and covered his face with his hands: "You, you dare to hit me?"
"Su Houli, I'll say it again. This house was bought by my mother and me through thick and thin. It wasn't a gift from anyone." Chen Guilan was furious. "Just because you're filthy yourself, don't think we're as filthy as you. First, find out how we got this house. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll sue you in court for defamation. Just try it!"
"I think you're crazy..." Su Houli didn't expect Chen Guilan to hit him. Someone was watching them from a distance, so he couldn't fight back. He could only say something harsh, "I'm telling you, Chen Guilan, you better take care of yourself. If I hear any more gossip, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, he rode away on his bike.
Chen Guilan was so angry that her head was buzzing.
She didn't feel like going to work anymore, so she said goodbye to Ding Mei, went home and lay down for a while, and fell asleep unknowingly.
In the dream, all she saw were the faces of Su Houli, Su Xiumei and Chen Guichang. The three of them took turns scolding her, saying that she let her daughter rely on a man to buy a house.
When Su Jiaojiao got out of school, it was only five o'clock and it was still light. She came back and went straight to the workshop downstairs to see Cai Ting.
Cai Ting had been working for half a month. She had gotten used to it after initially feeling uncomfortable. When Su Jiaojiao came in, she was tapping on the seams with a small hammer. She looked up and saw Su Jiaojiao, and asked in surprise, "Are you on vacation?"
"Well, let me come and see you guys." Su Jiaojiao greeted Ding Mei and the others and asked her, "Are you used to it?"
"I'm used to it. It's pretty good." Cai Ting seemed in a good mood. "The three sisters are very kind to me. Brother Liu Ming is also very good. He took the initiative to teach me how to cut and make patterns."
"Xiao Cai, be careful that Liu Ming may have other intentions towards you." Chang Yuqin giggled when she heard this.
"It's too late. I have a partner." Cai Ting gave Su Jiaojiao a wink, and Su Jiaojiao understood, "Yes, she's engaged."
"Liu Ming, did you hear that?" Yu Ying stood up and said to Liu Ming, "You can't pry it open."
"From what you said, it seems like I have some feelings for little girls when I see them." Liu Ming chuckled, "I'm not that kind of person. I treat Xiao Cai as my sister!"
"Xiao Cai is diligent, we all like her." Ding Mei was busy checking needles and sorting finished products. She called Su Jiaojiao over to check the quantity. "You're just in time. Let's record the number of finished products and take them upstairs."
"Okay, I'll pay you the processing fee for this batch of goods." Su Jiaojiao looked at the number of finished products. She was really short of money recently. The money her mother had saved from selling leather jackets and short-sleeved shirts these days was going to be spent again.
Su Jiaojiao settled a processing fee of 3,000 yuan with Ding Mei, and Ding Meiquan paid Liu Ming and the others two months' wages at a time. He still owed them one month's salary each, saying that he would pay it when the processing fee was settled next time.
Ding Mei didn't keep a penny for herself.
She knew that if she couldn't keep these three people, she would never be able to recover. She sold all the machines she brought back to her hometown at a low price, and she still had a few hundred dollars on hand for emergency.
After receiving their salary, Chang Yuqin and the others became motivated. Their two months' salary was equivalent to three months' salary for others, and everything they had done before was worth it.
In order to catch up with the work, the three of them took the initiative to stay and work overtime. Cai Ting was still in her internship period, and Ding Mei did not let her work overtime, but she still stayed and worked overtime with them.
Ding Mei and the others learned that Cai Ting lived in the snack street, so they took a detour to send her back and then went home. They were worried about the little girl walking at night.
With cohesion, the new workshop is full of enthusiasm. In about another month, Su Jiaojiao's batch of leather jackets will be completed.
Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao were also discussing this batch of leather jackets. It was a good thing that the leather jackets were finished, but the problem was that these two months were not the season for selling leather jackets, and they had to wait until at least September.
If the leather jackets cannot be sold, there will be no funds. Without funds, we cannot continue to purchase leather materials. Without leather materials, it means that Ding Mei and her colleagues will have no work.
Unless Ding Mei can take orders from others.
It is obvious that Ding Mei is unwilling to accept other people's orders. They are short of manpower and cannot deliver the goods on time. There is also the issue of rent.
"Jiao Jiao, selling a few leather jackets here and there at the door is just enough to cover our daily expenses." Chen Guilan began to worry again. "The processing fee you paid this time was from an old customer who bought five pieces at once, making a profit of over a thousand yuan. Otherwise, how would I have come up with these three thousand yuan?"
It is already the beginning of June. The most important thing right now is to quickly recover some funds, buy back the leather materials, and start production immediately without any interruption.
Once the supply is interrupted, with the production speed of Ding Mei and her colleagues, they will have no goods to sell by winter.
This situation occurred last year, and the same problem must not happen again this year.
