On the other side, at the Zhao family, Zhao Liang had been locked in the house without eating or drinking for several days.
When his mother Sun Lijuan brought him food, he couldn't help complaining.
"Mom, why do you insist on letting me marry Arya? I don't want to marry her. I want to marry someone I like!"
Sun Lijuan poked his head in frustration.
"Are you stupid? My silly son, where else can you find a girl who doesn't want any betrothal gifts except Erya? The girls in our city all want three turns and a ring, eight big items and so on! If you give this stuff, won't they be married?"
She thought for a moment and sighed, "Besides, because of the investment from the female boss, haven't all the girls in their village gone to work in the factory? Even though it's a private enterprise, they're still considered half-workers. Actually, Mom is doing this for your own good. What's so good about marrying a city girl? One girl is so arrogant just because she's a regular worker. Country girls are easy to manipulate! You'll understand later when we meet. If you tell her to go east, she won't go west. If you tell her to beat a dog, she won't chase a chicken!"
When Zhao Liang heard Song Shiwei mentioned, his eyes lit up, but as if he thought of something, his gaze gradually dimmed.
Feeling a little irritated, he lay down on the bed and covered his head with the quilt.
"Anyway, I won't get married. If you want to get married, you guys go ahead and do it!"
Sun Lijuan was so angry that she slapped him on the butt.
"You little bastard, how can you talk to your mother like that? What do you mean I can get married? I wish I could get married!"
She twisted his arm again, feeling a bit disappointed with him.
Zhao Liang cried out in pain.
"Liangzi, it's not that your mother forces you, but for so many years, your father and I have helped you in everything because you are the youngest and the only son. Even your sisters are the same. They all treat you like a treasure all day long."
"But now that the country has opened up its economy, your sisters' factory is getting worse day by day, especially your second and third sisters. The factory is going to lay off employees at the end of the year, and they're about to be laid off. Mom, isn't it also because Erya's family is neighbors with that female boss? If you two get married, can you ask your mother-in-law to talk to them and get your second and third sisters to work at that grain processing factory as well?"
"Also, I heard that the female boss has opened a beauty shop in the city selling vanishing cream or some kind of facial mask, and they're looking for someone. I've already told your future mother-in-law that Erya has to work in the city. This is actually just a test to see if your mother-in-law's family has the ability. If Erya's business really works out, then won't your sisters have to worry about being laid off in the future?"
"Tell me, you're already so grown up, can't you make some contribution to the family?"
After hearing what his mother said, Zhao Liang said nothing.
But I feel a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart.
Why should he sacrifice his lifelong happiness to make a contribution?
He just wants to marry a woman he loves and spend his life with her, why is it so difficult?
At this moment, he suddenly hated himself for being incompetent. Why couldn't he make more money?
If he had money, would no one force him like this anymore?
Anyway, in the end, no matter what he thought, his marriage to Arya was already on the agenda.
On the day of engagement, Sun Lijuan took him to Lijiatun and brought some simple things as a token of appreciation. Then Aunt Hua and others invited them to have a meal at a restaurant in the town.
The marriage is settled.
When Song Shiwei came home from get off work and received Erya's wedding invitation, she was a little surprised.
She looked at the date and found that it was around New Year's Day.
It's the end of October now, just two months left.
"Aunt Hua, so fast?"
But Aunt Hua was obviously very happy.
"Yes, yes, the man is very anxious, saying that he wants to marry our Erya as soon as possible!"
Song Shi frowned slightly. What the hell is the Zhao family doing? Why are they rushing so much?
But she knew that Erya would definitely agree, and she would even hope that it would be as soon as possible. After all, she wanted to marry Zhao Liang so much, and she would be happy the sooner it happened.
Forget it, the date has been set anyway, and she can't care less. She just hopes that Erya can get what she wants and won't regret it.
The date here has been set, and Song Shiwei's drugstore is also about to open.
Ever since Aunt Hua talked to her about it that day, she transferred Erya to work in the city.
But Erya is a bit slow-paced, and since she is about to get married, her mind is not on work at all.
The other beauty instructors have already learned all of Song Shi’s micro-teaching techniques and have even practiced them quite well.
But Erya was very unskilled.
There was no other way, Song Shiwei had to let her be responsible for the reception, collecting money, checking accounts, entertaining customers, and serving tea and water.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the opening. Song Shiwei started distributing flyers throughout the city two days in advance.
After all, this is the most cost-effective and effective way of promotion.
Now almost every woman on the street is talking about drugstores.
Because Song Shiwei launched an event where you can try the product in the store for free.
This is also a common practice used by many beauty salons.
After attracting you for a while, they start to fool you again.
But Song Shiwei will definitely not fool people, her beauty directors are all professionally trained.
We will make a series of targeted analyses based on the customer's skin condition.
She will not force you to buy, mainly because she has confidence in her products.
Even if she doesn't want to buy it and make it at home, she can still buy it and make it in the store, or apply for a card, which is valid for three times, ten times, or twenty times.
Customers are more selective.
And there is a limit on the number of bottles supplied each day, once they are sold out they are gone.
As the saying goes, which woman doesn't love beauty? Since ancient times, women and children have always been the easiest to earn money from.
In addition, this is a special era. People are like they have just walked out of a confined house and are facing the door to a new world, full of yearning.
Everyone is pursuing fashion and trend.
Don’t worry about not being able to sell your products. As long as your products are good enough, beautiful enough, and attractive enough, there will be many people who want to buy them.
Therefore, on the first day of the drugstore's opening, there was a huge crowd of people and business was extremely booming.
The entire store was almost packed with people coming for free trials.
Song Shiwei went there personally to maintain order.
After all, there are people who want to buy and people who want to get a bargain. There are too many people, and if order is not maintained, disputes are likely to arise.
And there are only a few beauticians, so you can only queue up one by one to try it out.
Of course, there are also those who can’t wait. Song Shiwei has specially made small samples, each costing one cent. You can buy them home and try them for free. If you like them, you can buy a big bottle.
She also explained in detail to everyone how to use the mask.
You know what, this drugstore is the first of its kind in the country, and everyone is so curious about it.
Many daughters and wives from high-ranking officials' families bought it.
