Reborn to marry a factory director, raising three children, a beautiful and hot wife
Chapter 117: Helping Neighbors Make Money
After returning to the Qin family, Su Xiaoxue took Chen Wei directly to the utility room.
"Sister-in-law, come and take a look."
Chen Wei nodded.
Su Xiaoxue tidied up the previously messy storage room. On a large shelf, there were sundries for the household, and on the other side were her goods.
She got a lot of things from the provincial capital last time. Although she sold some of them, there were still a lot left. If she sold all these things, she would be able to get a lot of money.
Su Xiaoxue asked her to look at the headband she had half-finished on the table last night.
"This is..." Chen Wei asked, "Isn't this a headband?"
"Well, this is a headband I bought from the provincial capital. But since it has no other decorations, it is quite ordinary. I plan to decorate it with something. This way, the price can be doubled."
Chen Wei looked at the headband she had made and it did look much better.
She understood and asked hurriedly, "So, you want me to help you do this?"
"Yes." Su Xiaoxue picked up one she had made. "I want to make more of these headbands, wrap them with fabric, and decorate them with colorful things. This way, the price will be higher. I want you to help me do this step. I will give you five cents for each headband. What do you think?"
Chen Wei was a little surprised when she heard the price, "Five cents?"
"Yes, that's right. It's temporarily set at 5 cents. If it's good, I can raise the price for you later. But for now, I can only set it at this price. See if you can do it?"
"Sure, sure." Chen Wei nodded quickly.
It costs five cents to make a headband, ten headscarves cost fifty cents, and a hundred headscarves cost five dollars.
She hurriedly asked Su Xiaoxue, "How many headbands do you have?"
Su Xiaoxue replied: "There are more than 400."
She hasn't made many yet, only a few dozen, and the rest are still waiting to be packed.
When Chen Wei heard this, her eyes brightened.
There are more than four hundred of them. If she made them all by herself, she would have earned more than twenty yuan.
Thinking of this, Chen Wei said excitedly: “Then…then I’ll do it, I’ll do it, you teach me, and I’ll do it.”
Seeing Chen Wei's excited eyes, Su Xiaoxue wanted to pour cold water on her first, "It's not that easy to do this. You can't make dozens of them a day. If you do it, it may take a long time."
"It's okay. I can do it. If I can't do it, I can learn it."
Su Xiaoxue knew that she was in a hurry to use the money, and she was in a hurry to make the headbands as soon as possible, so she quickly taught her the method.
First, you need to cut the strips of cloth, sew them together with a sewing machine, and then wrap them around the black headband.
"You just need to wrap it like this and organize it, and that's it. Of course, if it's a complicated one with a higher price, I can give you a one or two cent higher price, but you're just learning now, so make the simplest one first!"
"Okay, I'll try. I'll try."
Su Xiaoxue watched her stepping on the sewing machine pedal from the side. The stitches were fine and precise, and she seemed to be someone who knew how to operate a sewing machine.
So, very quickly, Chen Wei had made the simplest headband, without a bow on it, just simply wrapped with a cloth strip.
"Look at this." Chen Wei said excitedly.
"Well, not bad, you did a good job. Then make fifty of these first. You can do it here. The fabrics and materials are all here. How many do you want to make?"
"Okay, okay."
Because Su Xiaoxue still had to set up a stall, after handing the job over to Chen Wei, she just let Aunt Mei take care of it and she no longer had to worry about it.
Aunt Mei came over to take a look after Su Xiaoxue had gone out.
Seeing Aunt Mei, Chen Wei hurriedly got out of the sewing machine.
"Aunt Mei..."
Aunt Mei waved her hand and said, "Just go ahead and do your work. I'll come over and take a look."
Chen Wei smiled. "Sister Xiaoxue asked me to work here. She said if I did a good job, I would get five cents. I...I..."
Thinking of the situation at home, Chen Wei's eyes reddened.
She could see that Su Xiaoxue wanted to help her, otherwise why wouldn't she look for someone else but her when there were so many people around here?
"Aunt Mei, thank you." She wiped her tears, expressing gratitude.
Aunt Mei said with a smile: "This has nothing to do with me. It was Xiaoxue who asked you to come and help. She didn't just ask you to come because she heard about your family's situation. It's just that you are suitable for this job. She just needs someone to help now, and you just happened to be here."
Chen Wei knew that Aunt Mei's words were meant to comfort her, but she was grateful to them from the bottom of her heart.
So, after going back and saying goodbye to her husband, Chen Wei went back to the Qin family to continue working.
When Su Xiaoxue came back from setting up her stall, Chen Wei had already made fifteen.
In order to achieve perfection, she spent a lot of time and worked very carefully. The stitches at the mending locations were as beautiful as if they were made by a sewing machine.
"Sister Xiaoxue, take a look, is this okay?"
Without looking closely, Su Xiaoxue praised: "Sister-in-law, you did a great job, even better than I did."
Chen Wei's cheeks turned red when she was praised.
After she finished working on the 17 pieces, Su Xiaoxue gave her the money directly. "This is the wages for the 17 pieces, a total of 185 cents. I don't have 5 cents, so I'll make up the 90 cents for you!"
Chen Wei's hands were shaking when she took the money.
She couldn't believe it, it was real!
She earned ninety cents in one afternoon!
"This this……"
Su Xiaoxue understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these are all true, sister-in-law, you work meticulously, this is what you deserve, I hope you will continue to work hard tomorrow!"
"Oh, okay, okay! I will definitely work hard."
With ninety cents in hand, Chen Wei hurried home.
When I got home, Wang Jian was pouring some water to drink.
"Ajian!" She ran into the house excitedly, pointing at the money in her hand with trembling hands, "Look what this is?"
"Ninety cents! Ninety cents!" Chen Wei repeated it twice.
Wang Jian also looked at her in disbelief, "Is this the money that Xiaoxue earned from working for you?"
"Yeah." She nodded quickly. "I told you, her husband is the deputy director of the factory. She set up a stall to sell things and asked me to help her make things. She paid me five cents for each one. I made seventeen in the afternoon and she gave me ninety cents."
For a woman who has always stayed at home, there are very few opportunities to make money. This is the first time that Chen Wei has earned so much money, and it was not hard at all.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
"I...I'll go to the market later and buy some meat. We're going to have meat today. The doctor said that you're weak right now, so it's time to replenish your body!"
She wiped her tears and looked at her husband.
When Wang Jian heard that they wanted to buy meat, he quickly said, "Forget about buying it. Just eat something casually."
His wife had worked hard to earn some money, and he didn't want to spend it just like that.
But Chen Wei shook her head and said, "No, if you don't make up for it, the child will have to make up for it too. If you don't buy it tonight, buy it tomorrow."
The couple's children are now living in the countryside with their parents.
Chen Wei wanted to make money, so she left her two children in the countryside so that she could also work. Her parents-in-law were also very nice and willing to help take care of the children.
"Tomorrow I will go pick up the two children and their parents, and we will buy some meat. I will work harder tomorrow and earn more than I do now."
When Chen Wei spoke, there was a smile on her face, which showed her hope for future life.
Seeing her say that, Wang Jian nodded, his tone apologetic, "If it weren't for me, our family wouldn't be like this."
Chen Wei quickly shook her head, "No, this is just a disaster, not your problem. Get well soon, we still have hope for the future. Just like Sister Xiaoxue said, as long as we are alive, there is hope."
