Seeing that Shen Changlin didn't say much, Aunt Zhou went to Shen Aizhi's workshop again.
Shen Aizhi was laying out patterns on the chopping board in the workroom, Liu Cuihua was hemming and ironing clothes, and several other women from Tangsun Village were buttoning clothes and making headdresses.
"You are all here to help." Aunt Zhou came in and said hello.
"Where, Miss Aizhi pays us wages?" someone said deliberately.
Sure enough, they saw Aunt Zhou's face change, and looking at her itching and unbearable look, several women from Tangsun Village sneered. They knew that the reason why Shen Aizhi asked them to wait for others was because she was raped by this person in Yuanjia Village. I am ostracized by a group of women and talked about behind my back by these talkative women every day.
"Sister Aizhi, what are you busy with?" Aunt Zhou approached Shen Aizhi and smiled.
"Stake it out." Shen Aizhi replied calmly.
Aunt Zhou liked talking behind her back the most. Shen Aizhi didn't want to pay attention to her, but after all, she lived in a village and couldn't see anyone she saw when she lowered her head, so she reluctantly replied.
"How much can you earn by hiring someone in a day?" Aunt Zhou asked bravely.
"It's more than one yuan. How can you get more than forty yuan a month?" The people from Tangsun Village deliberately continued talking again.
Aunt Zhou and the women who came with her were all shocked. They couldn't care less about being reserved and hurriedly said to Shen Aizhi: "Sister Aizhi, can you assign some work to us too?"
Shen Aizhi glanced at Aunt Zhou and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou, I'm a divorced woman. You'd better not get too close to me, or I'll lead you astray."
"You fellow villagers, who is talking about this? How could you lead us astray?" Shitou's mother, Aunt Li, laughed awkwardly.
Shen Aizhi didn't want to have too much trouble with everyone, so she subcontracted the patchwork headbanding work to Aunt Zhou and the others.
They took the cloth and tendons and happily went back to process them.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, I'll be the first to say the ugly things. If you don't do the job up to standard, not only will you get no wages, but you will also have to accompany me to provide materials." Shen Aizhi shouted towards Aunt Zhou and the others' backs.
"Don't worry, sister, I guarantee your satisfaction." Aunt Zhou responded with a smile.
"I told you that you shouldn't pay attention to these people at all." Chen Ailian, Laisheng's daughter-in-law, snorted coldly.
"After all, sister Aizhi is from the same village as them, so we can't make it look too ugly to save face." Liu Cuihua tried to persuade her from the side.
Tangsun Village jointly established a motorcade under the leadership of Sun Fuqiang. The whole village worked together. In terms of unity and knowledge, the people of Yuanjia Village were really not comparable.
After assigning the sewing work to Aunt Zhou and the others, all that was left for Tangsun Village was to sew garments. But now there was only one sewing machine in the workshop, and it was urgent to add a new machine.
Now she has nearly 3,000 yuan earned on hand, including Shen Chi's investment, and she plans to use all the money to buy a sewing machine.
But she was a little timid for such a big investment, so she habitually consulted with Shen Chi.
When Shen Chi heard this, he said: "There is no rush to buy a sewing machine. Who doesn't have a sewing machine when they get married now? Auntie, tell your godmother and others that anyone who has a sewing machine can use the sewing machine to become a shareholder. At the end of the year, We can pay dividends. If we pay 5% of our current profits as dividends, it’s already very impressive.”
Shen Aizhi thought it was a good idea when she heard it, and immediately decided to do what Shen Chi said.
I have solved the problem of the sewing machine, and the other thing is the cloth. The only materials I bought last time are the woolen and corduroy ones that haven’t been touched much. The other four pieces of materials are more than half used, especially the orange floral fabrics and Doliang. We are almost running out, so we have to go to the provincial capital again as soon as possible.
"Auntie, this time you go with my father and hold your hand away. We will buy as much cloth as we have on hand and collect a lot of cloth." Shen Chi said.
After two sales of ready-made clothes, Shen Aizhi had already seen how great the potential of the clothing market was, and immediately nodded in agreement: "I have almost three thousand yuan on hand now. I will ask my dad to borrow another two thousand yuan. Summer is already more than half over." , we mainly buy autumn and winter materials this time.”
Shen Aizhi was surprised when she heard that so many goods were coming in, but she agreed when she saw that Shen Chi was sure.
Before leaving, Shen Aizhi wanted to clear out the goods. With Liu Cuihua and others joining in, nearly fifty or sixty sets of clothes have been produced.
Shen Changlin has nothing to sell now, so this trip is specifically for Shen Aizhi.
When we got to the market, we set up the racks, and as soon as we hung up the clothes, business started coming.
Maybe it was because school was about to start, so there were a lot of people buying student clothes this time. Shen Aizhi couldn't help but secretly glad that she listened to Shen Chi's words, and this time they mainly bought student clothes.
In less than a day, all the clothes and headwear were sold out. This time Shen Aizhi bought two more kilograms of meat to visit Gui Shuzhen.
Mrs. Hu was very happy to learn that her daughter was now selling clothes.
When I returned home, I realized that I had earned more this time, with an income of nearly 500 yuan.
Seeing Shen Aizhi's business growing day by day, Shen Changlin was also very happy for her.
Shen Aizhi took advantage of the situation and suggested that Shen Changlin accompany her to the provincial capital to purchase second-hand goods.
Shen Changlin would not refuse, and Shen Aizhi also proposed borrowing money. Shen Changlin immediately took out all the little money he had saved from selling vegetables and pigs. Shen Aizhi said he wanted to borrow two thousand, and he immediately I took out three thousand yuan.
Shen Aizhi was moved when he took the money and said to Shen Changlin: "According to what Xiao Chi said, this money is regarded as your investment, and I will give you dividends at the end of the year."
Shen Changlin didn't care whether he got the bonus or not. He just wanted his sister to live well.
Before departure, she told Liu Cuihua about taking a stake in the sewing machines. When Liu Cuihua heard this, she immediately expressed her willingness to bring in her idle sewing machines. Shen Aizhi counted eleven machines.
Shen Changlin even asked him to purchase goods. In the past two days, Shen Chi and Shen Fang asked Liu Cuihua to take care of them.
"You can go and buy the goods without worries. I will leave these two children to you. Besides, won't my Taozi live in your house too?" Liu Cuihua responded cheerfully.
Before leaving, Shen Aizhi put out many patterns of autumn and winter clothes, so that they would not have no work to do. The styles of the clothes were naturally designed by Shen Chi.
Erya's mother and several other women from Yuanjia Village began to make bows after simple splicing of cloth strips.
But after they learned the craftsmanship of making bows, they did something unethical. After they learned the craftsmanship from their master, they went to the cloth shop in town to buy cloth and processed it themselves.
After Liu Cuihua angrily told the incident that day, the people in Tangsun Village were very angry.
Shen Chi heard this and laughed and said: "Everyone can do business, who stipulates that Aunt Zhou and the others can't sell headdresses?"
"But they shouldn't have come to steal from us in the first place. What's even more annoying is that in order to suppress us, they deliberately set the price a penny cheaper than us.
Moreover, they are specifically trying to steal our business. Several of the canteens that Aizhi contacted earlier have already approached them to get their goods." Laisheng's wife said angrily.
