"That girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She's currently living in this village. I heard her parents sold her to the Tang family three years ago..."
In a few words, Meng Laosan told Su Jin about Wen Guoer's situation and how she rescued her.
"Assholes! How can there be such vicious parents in the world!" Su Jin put Wen Guoer in the role of his own sister and was very disgusted with the behavior of Wen's parents.
"Okay, there's nothing to do, don't stay here any longer, go back quickly." Old Meng began to drive people away.
"Then Grandpa Meng, I'm leaving first and will come back to see you later."
Su Jin turned over and disappeared into the night. He wanted to rush back to the army to make a phone call and report the news to his grandfather.
Although he really wanted to meet this girl who might be his sister first, he had a mission to complete and had to leave first.
As expected, Li Jinhua only took two days to make the clothes that Wen Guoer wanted.
The four daughters-in-law gathered in Tang's mother's room and watched her try on clothes.
"Mom looks more energetic in this dress. The color and style suit her very well." Zhao Laidie made the comment while eating melon seeds.
Tang's mother pulled at the corner of her clothes and straightened her back.
"Guo'er picked good materials, and my eldest daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is also good." Tang's mother was very satisfied with the new clothes.
"Guo'er, put on yours quickly and let them all see it." After hearing the praise from Tang's mother, Li Jinhua became more eager to show off.
Wen Guoer generously changed into her own outfit.
"Oh my god, it's true that clothes make the man. Once my fourth sister-in-law puts on this dress, she looks just like the person in the painting." This time, Zhao Lai Di didn't even crack the melon seeds, her eyes were fixed on staring.
"It looks good. Guoer looks really good in this dress." Zhang Xiaocui also praised sincerely.
"I will save up some materials and make a dress like this next year. It will look so stylish when I wear it back to my parents' home." Li Jinhua set a goal for herself.
Seeing that Li Jinhua's cooking skills were indeed good, Wen Guoer thought of trying out her previous idea.
"Mom, I have something I want to discuss with everyone." Wen Guoer suddenly pulled Tang's mother's sleeve and sat down.
The three sisters-in-law also looked over.
"What's wrong, Guo'er? If there is anything, just tell your mother directly." This young wife who never makes requests suddenly spoke so seriously. It must be no small matter.
"Mom, it's nothing serious. It's just that the older sister I met at the supply and marketing cooperative last time said that if my family can make clothes, she wants to hire us to make clothes for her. She'll provide us with the fabric, and she'll pay us one yuan for a set of winter clothes like this."
Tang's mother listened carefully to every word she said, and before she could react, she heard:
"Oh my god! This is pie in the sky! One yuan per set. If I do 30 sets a month, that's 30 yuan, which is more than what the formal workers in the city earn." Li Jinhua quickly calculated the account with her abacus.
"Mom, mom, fourth sister-in-law, I can do it too." Zhao Lai Di also hurried over.
There was also a gleam in Zhang Xiaocui's eyes.
"Guo'er, do you think this is reliable?" Tang's mother asked Wen Guo'er hesitantly.
"Mom, we only make clothes. We don't have to pay for anything. As for the processing fee, people in the village still have to give some benefits when they ask others to help make clothes. It can't be considered speculation. Besides, we just do it secretly at home, and outsiders don't know."
"Yes, do it secretly!" Li Jinhua really admired Wen Guoer for bringing such a good thing to her family. She thought to herself that she would have to take better care of this younger sister-in-law in the future.
The four daughters-in-law all looked at Tang's mother expectantly. After some consideration, she realized that there were still two months before spring planting, and everyone was staying at home for the winter, so they had nothing to do anyway. Finally, she decided, "Okay, let's take this job!"
Finally, Tang's mother gave everyone another instruction:
"Don't tell anyone about this. Just keep it to yourself. These days, it's better to be careful."
Everyone agreed.
"Guo'er, you have to give them an answer quickly." Li Jinhua was afraid that the duck in her mouth would fly away, so she urged.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will go to the commune and bring back the cloth for us after the New Year."
Seeing that everyone was happy, Wen Guoer also felt relieved.
She wanted to take this opportunity to ask several clothing experts in her family to make as many clothes as possible according to the styles she designed. These were all handmade products, and she didn't know how much handmade clothes would be praised in later generations.
She didn't intend to do any speculative business at this time. She just wanted to find a reason to take out the fabrics in the space. If necessary, she would trade one or two pieces with Dong Miao just to make it look like she was doing something. The most important thing was to give her family something to do and something to gain.
Just store the clothes she makes in the space. After the reform and opening up, the clothing styles she designs will be very popular.
