Chapter 51: Everything depends on human effort
Thirty-six pieces were sold in four hours, from one o'clock in the afternoon to three o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone bought out all the jeans on her stall, and she also sold several pairs of overalls.
It was almost four o'clock when Su Jiaojiao closed her stall, went to the Agricultural Bank to deposit the money, and ate a bowl of wontons on the roadside before carrying her schoolbag to school for evening self-study.
The capital has been sold, and the rest can be sold slowly by Chen Guilan. It doesn’t matter how much she sells. The important thing is that her mother likes to sell goods, especially this kind of goods without any pressure.
Su Jiaojiao arrived a little later than usual, and her classmates were already in evening self-study.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. Several girls gathered together and whispered. When they saw her come in, they all looked at her with strange eyes.
No matter how calm Su Jiaojiao was, she couldn't help but feel confused. What happened?
As soon as she sat down, Zhang Lili gave her the answer: "Dude, big news! Xue Yuxin had a fight with a girl in her class. The girl called her the daughter of a mistress. The teacher was alarmed and her parents were invited to the school!"
Su Jiaojiao said "oh" and took out her homework book to do the exercises with a calm expression.
She didn't want to know anything about Xue Yuxin.
"Dude, I haven't finished yet..." Zhang Lili saw how calm she was and cleared her throat. "Everyone's saying that Xue Yuxin's mother cheated on her with your father, and that Xue Yuxin changed her shift because of this. Is that true?"
Su Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment, and after a while she said, "You believe the rumors too? Hurry up and do the test!"
It wasn't a glorious thing.
Of course she wouldn't join in the fun.
"I said it wasn't true." Zhang Lili twirled her pen and turned her head, just meeting Wang Qian's gaze. She rolled her eyes at Wang Qian and lowered her head to do her homework. Wang Qian snorted. They only became close to Chen Yi and Wu Peng for a few math problems. What's the big deal!
When Su Jiaojiao was sitting in the classroom, she basically didn't get distracted. She worked on her homework until the end of evening study. She didn't even notice when Xu Mengyao came. Apparently, Xu Mengyao had also heard about Xue Yuxin's quarrel with someone else. On the way, she quietly asked her, "Is what that girl in Xue Yuxin's class said true?"
Xue Yuxin found out that her mother was Su Jiaojiao's father's mistress. She simply couldn't believe it.
No wonder Xue Yuxin had always been against Su Jiaojiao before, it turned out to be because of this.
"How come even you've become so gossipy?" Su Jiaojiao neither admitted nor denied it, saying indifferently, "Don't ask. They're all rumors. I don't want to talk about them."
Zhang Lili is her good deskmate and Xu Mengyao is her good friend.
They both asked her, neither of them harboring any ill intentions.
But she didn't want to tell them about this openly.
"Then I understand." Xu Mengyao was much more mature than Zhang Lili, and she knew what was going on the moment she heard it. "I know why you work so hard to make money. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know."
"Thank you, Mengyao. Just saying that is enough." Su Jiaojiao didn't need anyone's sympathy, but she was still very grateful to Xu Mengyao. "I don't think it's tiring to make money on my own. I feel that my life is very fulfilling this way."
She's not a teenage girl.
With so many years of accumulation in her previous life, she did not feel aggrieved. Instead, she felt very excited and had a sense of pleasure that she could grasp the future.
No matter which era or time and space, as long as you can grasp the dividends of the times, you can make money.
Hard work may not necessarily make you money, but making money definitely requires hard work.
There is always a price to pay for every gain!
"I saw you selling clothes at the snack street this afternoon." Xu Mengyao looked at Su Jiaojiao with admiration. "If it were me, I wouldn't be too embarrassed to set up a stall to sell goods. At our restaurant, the most I can do is help serve dishes."
When her father was young, he worked as a chef in a state-owned restaurant. He resigned five years ago and opened a restaurant in Jiao County. It was not a big restaurant, but it made a lot of money. Anyway, she had never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, and she ate and dressed better than her peers.
Every time she goes home, her parents cook for her in different ways. Afraid that she has had enough of the food in their own restaurant, her father even bought a recipe and racked his brains to create new dishes for her.
She was deeply touched when she saw how hard Su Jiaojiao, who was the same age as her, was working.
Compared with Su Jiaojiao, she grew up in honey water.
"That's because you don't need to set up a stall, so you feel embarrassed." Su Jiaojiao smiled, "If I had a restaurant at home, I would do the same as you."
The biggest difference between people comes from their different environments.
If she were Xu Mengyao, she would not set up a stall. Who would do something unnecessary?
get out of class ends at 9:40 and lights are turned off at 10:20 sharp.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and didn't dare to linger outside. They quickly washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and went to bed.
After returning from school, Gao Meifeng was furious.
She hadn't expected that the story between her and Su Houli would spread around the school. Although the teacher treated it as a rumor and criticized the girl, and even asked her to self-criticize with Xue Yuxin, Xue Yuxin was a girl after all, and was shy. She refused to go to school no matter what, and just hid in her bed and cried, "Su Jiaojiao must have spread it around the school. She did it on purpose."
"You saw it today too. Your teacher didn't believe it." Gao Meifeng knew that girls her age were sensitive and fragile, so she didn't dare say anything provocative. "Didn't I tell you that your Uncle Su and I should be better colleagues? You see, I haven't been in contact with him lately."
Gao Meifeng had a falling out with him because of the bicycle incident.
He went to her to explain, but she ignored him.
"Mom, stop kidding yourself. I'm not a child. I know what happened between you two." Xue Yuxin poked her head out from under the covers and cried, "Either you resign or I transfer schools. I don't want to be pointed at anymore."
"This is not my fault." Gao Meifeng finally realized how much harm their affair had caused the child. She thought about it and seemed to have made a great decision. "Mom is a contract worker in the factory. How can I quit so easily? No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in Jiao County. Where can you transfer to? If you have to transfer, it should be her, Su Jiaojiao..."
Xue Yuxin’s father is the eldest in the family and has a younger brother.
Her original home was in Jiao County, although not in the city center. Because the municipal government occupied their land, their collective agricultural status was converted to non-agricultural status, and they were given urban household registration and arranged jobs nearby.
When she married Xue Yuxin's father, she lived with her parents-in-law and uncle in a four-room bungalow with a small courtyard.
After Xue Yuxin's father passed away, she moved in with Xue Yuxin and rented a house. Without a man, the mother and daughter became outsiders in that family.
If you were to say what this marriage brought her, it was that it helped her change her rural household registration to urban household registration and helped her find a decent job in this city. Qimei Garment Factory is a subsidiary unit of the provincial foreign trade department, and the treatment is similar to that of state-owned enterprises.
Apart from anything else, there are also many benefits during festivals and holidays.
She had finally managed to get the position of workshop director and was regarded as a golden phoenix by her family, so there was no way she would give up.
"Su Jiaojiao is a favorite of the teachers. How could she possibly transfer to another school..." Xue Yuxin didn't believe it. "Mom, you don't know how good our teacher Zhang is to her. She knew she was selling goods at the snack street, and she always gave her the green light on weekends. She never had to do any duty."
"You said she was selling goods in the snack street?" Gao Meifeng had never heard of this before. Xue Yuxin nodded vigorously. "Although I didn't see it, many people saw it, so it must be true."
"Su Houli's daughter is quite ambitious." Gao Meifeng sneered, "Since she can stand on her own, she doesn't need Su Houli as a father anymore."
"Mom, what do you mean?" Xue Yuxin was puzzled.
"You should sleep well. You should go to school tomorrow." Gao Meifeng comforted her daughter, "Just trust me. I will take care of this matter."
She doesn't believe in fate, but believes that everything is in the hands of man.
Some things should be fought for.
