Li Dongxiu walked up to Yun Duoduo and said with a smile, "It's still early today, so I came out to buy groceries. Shuangshuang happened to be free today, so she asked me to accompany her out for a stroll. When we got here, I remembered that you were here to move in today, so I thought I'd drop by and see you."
After saying that, she pointed to Yun Duoduo's counter and said, "Your counter is so beautifully decorated. It was the first thing I saw when I came in. No wonder your business is so good."
Over here, Li Dongxiu was chatting with Yun Duoduo when Wang Shuangshuang ran up to Yun Duoduo and whispered, "Duoduo, I want to ask, how much is this outfit? Do you have my size?"
In fact, Wang Shuangshuang is a greedy person. The reason she asked that question was that she didn't want to give money, but she was also too embarrassed to ask for it directly.
This wasn't the first time she'd done this, but at the factory, Yun Duoduo just let her be.
After all, Li Dongxiu would always do things for her for free when she had nothing to do, so it was a way of repaying Li Dongxiu.
However, this is at the counter, and the quantity of this batch of clothes is not large, so it cannot be given away as a gift for the time being.
Moreover, Wang Shuangshuang has been coming to her place to pick up clothes more and more frequently lately, and Yun Duoduo plans to talk to Li Dongxiu about it.
If Li Dongxiu helps her with work in the future, she can get paid, but if Wang Shuangshuang goes to the factory to pick up clothes, she will have to pay.
Before Yun Duoduo could speak, Yun Xiaoqin, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and told Wang Shuangshuang, "This kind is 15 yuan a set, and this kind is more expensive, 20 yuan a set. Which set do you want?"
"That's it," Yun Xiaoqin said with a frown. "Shuangshuang, these clothes aren't cheap. Even if we wanted to buy them, we'd have to pay for them ourselves."
“Although we’re all relatives, it’s still best to keep things clear. You work at the People’s Hospital, and your monthly salary isn’t low. You can afford it.”
Yun Xiaoqin and Wang Shuangshuang are not related, so she doesn't bother with her.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuangshuang glared at Yun Xiaoqin, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Li Dongxiu was also extremely embarrassed. In fact, she had already told Wang Shuangshuang not to take advantage of her.
Li Dongxiu used to do this because she had no other choice; her family couldn't afford it and she didn't have any money. Now that she can afford it, she won't take advantage of Duoduo.
However, in this situation, Li Dongxiu couldn't reprimand Wang Shuangshuang, or rather, she didn't dare.
She only wanted to give Wang Shuangshuang a way out, so she stepped forward and whispered to Wang Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, this counter has already been contracted out to someone else, so it's really not appropriate for you to come and get things. Here, if you like any set, just pick one, and Mom will pay for it for you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuangshuang's expression softened. She glanced triumphantly at Yun Xiaoqin and then happily went to choose clothes.
Looking at Li Dongxiu, Yun Duoduo shook her head.
No matter how much a person changes, there are some things in their bones that they can never change, such as Li Dongxiu's cowardice.
She was like that in front of her husband before, and she is like that in front of her daughter now.
Yun Duoduo was worried that if she continued like this, she would eventually be torn apart and eaten alive by this selfish Wang Shuangshuang.
She only earns sixty yuan a month, and a set of clothes costs about thirty yuan. Moreover, it's not just an occasional thing; once Wang Shuangshuang gets used to it, it will be a frequent occurrence.
Yun Duoduo tentatively said to Li Dongxiu, "Aunt, why don't you two go to the factory to pick out the clothes after the bulk production of these clothes is completed in a few days? They can give you an employee price there, which will be cheaper."
Yun Duoduo was also telling Li Dongxiu that Wang Shuangshuang would have to pay for clothes when she came to pick them up, but she could give her a discount.
Because their factory does offer employee discounts.
After hearing this, Li Dongxiu was also tempted. She said, "Does everyone have one? If it's just for me, that's fine, but Auntie knows that you need to pay for the cost of making just one garment. Besides, if everyone does what Shuangshuang does, and all the relatives come to take the clothes, it will be difficult for you to manage them."
Li Dongxiu was ultimately a sensible person who understood the bigger picture and the implications of the situation.
Yun Duoduo nodded. "Every employee gets one. It costs thirty yuan. After the factory finishes producing the bulk orders, you can buy it from my second brother's warehouse for only twenty-one yuan. You can save quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Li Dongxiu thought it was a good idea, so she immediately walked up to Wang Shuangshuang and whispered to her, "Shuangshuang..."
Although she couldn't quite hear what the mother and daughter were saying, Wang Shuangshuang still took a 29-yuan outfit to try on.
After trying it on, Wang Shuangshuang refused to take it off, put it on and left, saying she had other things to do.
Then, Li Dongxiu took out money to buy the outfit for Yun Xiaoqin.
Yun Duoduo didn't stop her from giving the money; she should pay for her actions.
However, afterwards, Yun Duoduo sighed and looked at Li Dongxiu and said, "Auntie, this outfit cost you half a month's salary. Actually, it wasn't necessary. Clothes aren't necessities, especially not for Shuangshuang."
Li Dongxiu understood what Yun Duoduo meant. She shook her head and said helplessly, "Shuangshuang... I know she's immature, but what can I do? She's used to spending money recklessly. She has to get what she wants. This bad habit can't be changed all at once. We can only take it slowly."
“Auntie, it’s not about a set of clothes, it’s about Shuangshuang’s personality,” Yun Duoduo reminded her. “How many more years can you support her like this? Or are you planning to continue supporting her after she gets married and has children?”
“Aunt, you’re not young anymore. I don’t know how many more years you can work. When you get old, you need to have money around you. You need to think more about yourself.”
In fact, Yun Duoduo was really worried about Li Dongxiu. She had worked hard for most of her life and was leeched off by Wang Weiguo's family. Now that she had finally broken away from Wang Weiguo, it looked like she was about to be leeched off by Wang Shuangshuang.
Li Dongxiu knew that Yun Duoduo was doing it for her own good, so she nodded and said, "I understand, Duoduo. I'll talk to her about it later."
After saying that, Li Dongxiu said it was getting late and she had to go buy groceries, and left in a hurry.
Yun Duoduo looked at Li Dongxiu's retreating figure and shook her head.
She went to the door to check if Li Haotian had finished tidying up the warehouse goods, but to her surprise, Li Haotian's car was already waiting for her there. Upon seeing her, he asked, "Duoduo, is it not done here yet? We have to go back. I guess Second Brother is still waiting for the car."
"Okay, I'll go back now." Yun Duoduo said and got into the car.
As soon as the car arrived at the factory gate, they saw Li Yunfeng, the second brother, looking anxiously at them. As soon as he saw their car approaching, he immediately came over.
After their car came to a stop, Li Yunfeng immediately ran over, opened the car door, and helped Yun Duoduo out of the car while saying anxiously, "Duoduo, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages! Why did it take so long?"
