"Sister-in-law, this is the girl I told you about before, Xiuyun. She is Captain Cheng's wife and also our...boss, but you can just call her sister-in-law." Li Fang is a little bolder now and can stand in front of Su Qianqian with ease.
"Hello, sister-in-law! I'm good at work. You can give me any job. I'm also very strong." Li Xiuyun wanted to show herself immediately. She knew that this was an opportunity to make money and she had to grab it.
Su Qianqian was quite satisfied with her because she saw a girl's tenacity and ambition in her eyes.
There is nothing scary about having ambition, as long as you use it in the right way.
"I didn't ask you to do heavy work. I just want you and your cousin to learn how to sew and make clothes. Of course, you still need help with chores. I'll give you some money in advance." Su Qianqian handed her a big unity, which scared her and she waved her hands repeatedly, "I haven't done anything yet, so I can't ask for money."
Ten dollars can be used to buy medicine for my younger brother and to provide my family with a full meal.
Su Qianqian thought about it and took back the ten yuan, and gave him some loose change, "Here, send this five yuan back, and keep the remaining five yuan for yourself in case of emergency."
"Only if you take good care of yourself can you take better care of others. As long as you work hard here, you will definitely make money."
Li Xiuyun's eyes suddenly turned red. In fact, she was a little scared before coming here. Her family was also worried that she would be cheated. After all, it was a long journey for a person to go to such a far place. In the end, she gritted her teeth and came here. She wanted to change her fate. If she stayed at home, her life would be like this for sure.
Even if her family doesn't allow her to get married, she might eventually compromise and choose to marry into a family that offers a high bride price.
"Fangfang, how is your sewing learning going?" She smiled at Li Xiuyun and went to look at the sewing machine.
"Sister-in-law, this is a dress I made. Look, it doesn't have any style. It's just made by stitching together several pieces of cloth. It's a little ugly, but it's wearable." Li Fang was a little embarrassed, but wanted to get compliments, so she stood beside Su Qianqian a little nervously.
Su Qianqian looked at the stitches carefully, and then looked at the symmetry of the clothes. Some beginners tend to have the two sleeves or two trouser legs of different lengths.
She found that Li Fang didn't have this problem.
"Whose size is it? Try it on and see?"
"Come here, Yangyang, put it on and show it to your Aunt Su."
Wang Yang came over and put it on. It was navy blue in color and looked pretty good on him. At least it was new clothes. Besides, Wang Yang had gained some weight after not seeing him for a few days.
"You have practiced the basic skills well. Next, I will give you a task. Take Xiuyun to learn and make a piece of clothing for each of us."
Li Fang was stunned with her mouth open, obviously she didn't expect the task to be so difficult.
"Are you scared?" Su Qianqian said with a smile.
Then Li Fang put away her expression and said, "I can do it!"
"Well, that's good. Be brave enough to try, don't be timid!"
Her words inspired Wang Yang and Li Xiuyun, who worshipped her like a god. Their destinies had quietly changed.
After Li Xiuyun came, the team had enough manpower. On the one hand, they supplied goods to state-owned restaurants, and on the other hand, they sold goods themselves. This also helped to train their courage and taught them how to sell, as they would need them in the future after all.
"Today's time is a bit tight. I will go buy some food tomorrow to welcome Xiuyun. Welcome to join us."
Li Xiuyun was about to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble when Wang Gui stopped her. He knew that Su Qianqian had a purpose in everything she did, and that it also showed that she liked Xiuyun, which was good.
"I'm leaving first." Su Qianqian rode away on her bike.
"Cousin, we have met a noble person! Thank you for thinking of me." Li Xiuyun felt like she had suddenly ascended from a quagmire to heaven, and was very grateful.
"Yes, sister-in-law is a good person, we will repay her in the future."
"My comrade-in-arms and his wife are both good people." Wang Gui is such a tough guy that he didn't cry when his hand was broken, but now his eyes are red.
If Cheng Yue hadn't thought of him, he would probably have had a hard time in the second half of his life. It wouldn't be a big deal if he suffered a little, but the main thing was that it would affect his wife and children.
Su Qianqian was strolling outside, mainly wanting to see the current situation. After all, the college entrance examination has been resumed, and many things have become tacit. Gradually, many policies will become relaxed. After all, reform and opening up will be carried out soon.
"Comrade Su!"
She turned around and found that it was the playboy Rongchen who was calling her.
"Don't move, just stand there and talk, don't come closer." In order to avoid being gossiped, it is better to keep a distance.
Rong Chen was stunned. "What's going on?"
"We're not familiar with each other, there's no need to be so close."
He laughed, "It's tiring to talk like this, right?"
"Then don't talk to me. Why do you, a grown man, always pester me?"
Rong Chen's expression did not change, but he immediately returned to his cool and carefree look, "How can you call it entanglement? Didn't we meet by chance? Doesn't this mean that we are destined to be together? Besides, I acted out of emotion but ended with courtesy, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"I'm a married woman, is that okay?"
Her words made Rong Chen suddenly realize.
"I see. Is it your husband who is interfering with your freedom to make friends? This is a new era. You have the right to make friends. I just admire you and want to make friends with you. The same applies to sending you flowers. Don't overthink it. You need to learn to accept new ideas."
"?" Are you giving her pua here?
"So you want to be friends with me. I'm in some trouble right now. I wonder if you, as a friend, can help me?"
"You say." A hint of joy flashed across Rong Chen's face, probably because he felt that Su Qianqian had taken the bait.
"I'm short of money. Can you lend me some? Not much, just lend me..." She raised a finger.
Rong Chen readily agreed, "Ten dollars? No problem. I'll lend it to you right away."
"No, it's one thousand yuan."
Rong Chen was dumbfounded. "What did you say? One thousand yuan? Do you know how much one thousand yuan is?"
"One thousand yuan is just one thousand yuan, right? What? Do you not have it, or do you not want to lend it to me?"
She knew that the Rong family was rich, but she didn't know how much money exactly, so she just took a thousand yuan to test the waters.
Although it was more embarrassing to say no, Rong Chen still admitted, "I didn't."
"Oh, sorry, I don't make friends with poor people. Goodbye."
She got on the bike, pedaled away.
Rong Chen was left standing there dumbfounded.
What? He was a poor fellow? He was a son of the Rong family, but he was regarded as a poor fellow? She, a woman from the countryside, actually called him a poor fellow?
This was unacceptable to him in any way.
…
Su Qianqian returned home and told Cheng Yue about this matter.
Cheng Yue was so angry that he almost crushed the cup in his hand.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. I bought it with my own money." She quickly stopped him.
"Can I crush him to pieces?"
