Chapter 46: Street Stall

Shi Wenya came back from home after the Chinese New Year and brought a bunch of food made by her mother-in-law.

This year can be said to be the most comfortable year for Shi Wenya since her marriage. Although her parents-in-law were not bad to her, there was still a distance between them, as they held her in the palm of their hands, praised her wherever they went, and everyone they met.

Now everyone knows that Shi Wenya found a job in the county town that makes money and is respectable.

"It is a blessing for our family to marry Wen Ya."

Yu Abao's mouth is unbearable when he curses at people, and it's the same when he compliments others.

Shi Wenya said to Pu Xiang, "You don't know, I got goosebumps just listening to that."

That being said, one could tell from Shi Wenya’s mood that she was in a good mood.

As Shi Wenya returned to work, the evil things that Shi Dafu's family had done in the village also spread to her.

"Uncle Shi Hai and Shi Dafu and his wife have separated. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Shi Hai was busy all day with his daughter and son-in-law. It seems that he is serious and not just bluffing. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Uncle Shi Hai to be so powerful. He separated the family directly and gave up the building just like that. Everyone in the team is now saying that Shi Dafu is not good. Everyone thinks he is stupid for marrying Lin Meihua. And when everyone talks about you, no one says anything bad about you anymore. They all say that you must have divorced because you couldn't stand it anymore."

Regarding Pu Xiang's divorce, no one knows who is right or wrong, but when people talk about it, most people blame Pu Xiang.

Life is good but they abandoned their children... Shi Wenya didn't like to hear it, but she didn't know how to refute those people.

Now, everyone has seen Shi Dafu's inhuman side.

Pu Xiang listened to all this with the mentality of just eating spectators and listening to gossip.

"Don't worry about what others say. If Shi Dafu behaves even more unbelievably in the future, believe it or not, someone will blame me."

Shi Wenya was puzzled: "Why should I blame you? They are divorced, what does it have to do with you?"

Pu Xiang said, "It's all my fault for divorcing him. If I had been his 'virtuous wife', he wouldn't have ended up like that."

Shi Wenya: “…”

Pu Xiang patted her shoulder and said, "People are two-faced. They can say whatever they want. Don't pay too much attention to other people's opinions."

Anyway, she had figured it out a long time ago. Even if they got divorced, she would always be mentioned in the future no matter what Shi Dafu did. And as for her son, if he could succeed, it would be the child's own effort. If he got into trouble, it would be because of her irresponsible mother who divorced.

If she has to care about these things all day long, it would be better for her not to get divorced and just jump into the river and die.

Once, she failed in life, and now, she doesn't think she can have a successful life.

Just live your life, don't steal or rob, support yourself, try to make yourself live as comfortably as possible, she doesn't have the energy to care about other people's opinions.

After the Chinese New Year, the wholesale market in Lin City resumed business.

When Puxiang went to purchase goods, spring clothes had basically already started to arrive, and winter clothes had basically been packed away, leaving only some to clear out the stock.

After asking about the price, Pu Xiang was quite tempted.

The current prices are all clearance prices, which are much cheaper than when she bought the goods before the New Year.

The clothing industry is generally ahead of the season. Spring clothes are in season, but everyone is still wearing winter clothes.

Especially here, the late spring cold is even colder than winter.

Pu Xiang counted the money and made a decision quickly.

She didn't bring in many spring clothes, but she took in hundreds of winter cotton-padded jackets and down jackets, and the three of them couldn't move them all at once.

It took three days of manual work to move all the clothes back.

And because there were so many clothes, the attic of the store was filled up, and some of them could not be put away, so they were placed in the rented house. As a result, when the three of us went back to sleep at night, there was no place to walk.

Shi Wenya and Zhao Qing were both a little upset: "Xiangxiang, it's been so many years. How are you going to sell all these thick clothes? Spring is coming soon!"

Most of the customers in their store had bought their products before the Chinese New Year, and they couldn’t sell any more.

Pu Xiang had her own plans. She had no intention of selling in the store at all. She planned to set up a stall in the town.

A cotton shirt costs 68 yuan, and a down jacket costs 88 yuan. The profit is not much, but there is still a profit of 20 to 30 yuan.

She will also get a loudspeaker to announce the clearing of warehouses and the disposal of the goods. She will not underestimate the consumption capacity of the people in the town and the village.

Seeing the business opportunity, Pu Xiang felt that it would be a loss if he didn't make money.

It only takes a few days for people to feel tired, otherwise they won’t be able to sleep for several days.

Pu Xiang rented a large tricycle for transporting goods, covered it with plastic sheeting, piled all the clothes on it, and took two floor-standing clothes hangers. He arrived at the busiest area in the town, found an open space, parked the car, turned on the horn, and started hanging clothes on the hangers.

Pu Xiang brought Shi Wenya with her. She gave some extra money to the tricycle driver and asked him to help watch over the goods. The two of them were responsible for selling things and collecting money.

【Only three days, only three days, women's clothing clearance, high-end women's clothing from Linshi Wholesale Market, cotton jackets, down jackets are all cleared out, only 68, 88 yuan each, all only 68, 88 yuan each! 】

The horn sounded, immediately attracting the attention of passers-by nearby.

"Which one is 68, which one is 88? Why is it so expensive?"

An older sister limped over and took a look.

Pu Xiang wore a set of clothes suitable for work today and a woolen hat on her head. She didn't care about the fashionable outfit she wore in the store.

"Sister, these are all goods from the wholesale market in Lin City, cotton padded jackets, down jackets, warm and fashionable, they are so cheap only when the season changes, where else can you buy them at this price before the New Year?"

To be honest, although it is expensive, it is not an exorbitant price for a winter coat.

Especially the down jacket is only 88 yuan, which is still cheap.

Pu Xiang took a look at the other person's dressing style, picked out a piece of clothing that the other person might like, and handed it to the other person.

"Sister, feel it. If you like it, try it on yourself. It's definitely good."

The combination of new clothes and cheapness made it impossible to refuse. The passerby lady untied her cotton padded jacket and tried them on.

"Oh, it's quite light."

There is a huge difference in weight between down jackets and cotton jackets.

Pu Xiang smiled and said, "Sister, try again. The wind can't blow through. Wear this down jacket and change the sweater inside to a thinner one. Then you can move your arms more freely."

The elder sister stretched out her hand to try it out, and indeed she could move it much more freely. She felt it and found that it was indeed airtight.

"Make it cheaper and I'll take one!"

Pu Xiang still had that smile on her face and said, "Sister, we'll keep this price. It's the same for everyone and no matter how many items you buy, you can earn a few dollars of hard-earned money. The items aren't many. We'll only sell for three days and then we'll move to another place."

Pu Xiang has tried both hungry marketing and limited-time sales.

As expected, the lady did not buy it immediately. She just looked at it for a while.

The tireless hawking voice coming from the loudspeaker of the cattail blossom stall attracted an older sister and then an older mother.

One came, then two...gradually, their tricycle was surrounded by people.

Some people were still hesitating whether to buy it, but there were also people who didn't think too much about it. They thought the clothes looked good and 68 or 88 yuan was not too expensive, so they paid for it.

Once someone started it, more and more people followed suit and paid for it.

Pu Xiang then realized that there was a missing "supporter" in his setting.

Soon the whole stall became busy. There were only a few clothes brought in today, and some styles were quickly sold out. Those who were hesitant immediately became anxious.

The clothes that Pu Xiang brought out today were sold out by mid-afternoon.

Shi Wenya was with her, and her voice was almost hoarse from talking, but she was extremely excited.

With one order after another, she felt like she had thousands of dollars in her pocket, and it was only one day!

Mo Yang brought lunch to Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya. Pu Xiang came to sell things in his own town. His stall was not far from his wholesale department, so he had no choice but to know about it.

Pu Xiang didn't bother to be polite with him. After the New Year's dinner and the gift, she felt that he was a nice person and naturally didn't mind having more contact with him.

There is give and take, and helping each other. When you go out, more friends mean more help.

Pu Xiang said it would be sold for three days, and it really was sold for three days. After all, the town is so small, so three days is about enough.

After a day's rest, she prepared to change places. There were several towns under the county seat anyway. She would go to each town for three days and sell most of the clothes.

In just about half a month, all the clothes that Pu Xiangjin had bought were sold out. After counting the money, she knew she had made a lot. But when she counted out more than 8,000 yuan, she still gasped.

Indeed, we should not underestimate these small businesses. It is a big deal if one person can make twenty or thirty dollars from them.

In the 1990s, if the wind was right, even a pig could be blown to the sky.

In the future, it would be impossible to sell clothes in such a stall with such sales volume.

Pu Xiang thought again and realized that now, this is the only reason she has such an effect because she is the first one to try it. Once more people imitate her, this business will naturally become difficult to do.

This kind of stall business won't last long.

Just like the trade fair that was once so popular in her memory, it was never seen again.

Pu Xiang paid Shi Wenya a salary based on the commission from the store. Shi Wenya earned several hundred dollars in half a month and was so happy that he kept talking even though his voice was hoarse.

Originally Pu Xiang wanted Zhao Qing to switch with her, but Zhao Qing said she wanted to read seriously, so she stayed in the store.

Anyway, the salary she earns from the store is enough to support herself, and she is now thinking about taking the college entrance examination and then going to university.

Shi Wenya had nothing to be unhappy about if she could earn a little more money.

The atmosphere in the store is always good.

After selling the clothes, Pu Xiang rested for a day before returning to the store.

When Zhao Jing saw her, he said, "Sister Xiangxiang, your second sister came again yesterday, and she didn't see you. She looked very angry."

"She's here again?"

Pu Xiang was busy these days, so she didn't meet her second sister when she came to visit for the first time. Zhao Qing told her about it, and she left a message for someone to come back later.

But it was obvious that her second sister didn't listen to her words at all. She probably thought that she didn't dare to see her, so she came to her house every few days.

Zhao Qing said: "Well, she said she would come again today to see you, to see you..."

Pu Xiang looked up.

Zhao Qing spoke the truth and repeated the original words: "Let's see how long you can hide."

puff.

Pu Xiang was indeed not wrong at all. Her second sister thought she was avoiding her.

It's really funny. I don't even think about why she wants to hide. What is her reason for hiding?

Her second sister is really confused.

As the two were talking, the store door was pulled open from the outside.

Pu Xiang turned around and saw her second sister, with her head and face wrapped tightly, walking in like a penguin.
