Chapter 37: Why Is the Money Gone?
"What do you mean, water girl? Take the money back, I'll teach you needlework, and let Pei Nan dig potatoes for you, that's all I want, I didn't want to live on this, you stuffed me with so many tickets, do you think I, Yu Xiulian, am a person who fell into the eyes of money? ”
Shui Yao saw that Fang's mother was actually angry, and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, you misunderstood. Brother Pei Nan has saved me several times before, and I can't take so many things without giving anything. It is precisely because you are so enthusiastic to help me that I should not take it all away with such peace of mind, I hope you accept this bit of my heart! ”
After listening to Shui Yao's explanation, the expression on Yu Xiulian's face eased a little. I think there are not a few people she has helped, this is the first time I have seen someone stuff money for herself, but after all, she is not helping people to collect money.
"Well, Yao girl, my aunt knows that you are a good boy who knows how to repay your kindness, and it is not easy for your father to earn money, if you really thank your aunt, then when you come back in the future, just bring a few eggs, and take the money Isn't it a share? My aunt doesn't want you to pay for it! ”
Shui Yao saw that Yu Xiulian was trying to stuff the two yuan to herself, and hurriedly shook her head: "Auntie, you see that you have handed over such good skills to me, this is the tuition fee I paid to you, besides, my hens can't lay so many eggs, if you don't accept them, then I will be embarrassed to come to you again next time!"
Looking at the stubborn and cute little girl in front of her, Yu Xiulian didn't shirk it, but she still didn't forget to explain again: "Yao girl, then I will accept this money." However, you are not allowed to take any more money in the future! ”
Then, with the existing needlework, Yu Xiulian began to carefully talk about the skills of tailoring and sewing for Shui Yao, and Shui Yao also listened carefully, and practiced with the cloth from time to time.
However, what made her feel very frustrated was that Yu Xiulian was so familiar with the road that she could make up the holes in her clothes neatly without even looking, and she couldn't even see any traces, but Shui Yao was completely different. It took most of the day, not only did the stitches in the patch be crooked, but I almost pricked my fingers several times.
"Hey, girl, don't worry, you can't rush about needlework, you need to practice a lot. However, practice makes perfect in everything, and when you practice for a month and enter the door, it will be much easier to get started. I'm sure your dad will be able to wear the clothes you made soon! ”
At the end of the day, Shui Yao finally figured out the doorway, and before leaving, Yu Xiulian told her to continue to study in two days, and then stuffed a small sack of potatoes dug by Fang Peinan to Shui Yao.
Shui Yao felt that he had gained a lot on this day. Not only did he solve the problem of potatoes, but he also learned needlework with Aunt Fang. Actually, not to mention Shui Yao himself, even the original owner himself is not very good at this aspect.
For Shui Yao, she has lived in a big family of intrigue since she was a child, and if she needs anything, her family will directly solve it with money, and she will not teach her these things at all. Especially after Shui Yao became famous, a lot of banknotes couldn't be spent, and she didn't need to learn these jobs at all, and she couldn't wear just high-end private custom clothes.
Speaking of the original owner, there was a chance to learn this, after all, in memory, the original owner's mother was a clever person, and the needlework was naturally not bad. But since Wu Chunhua entered the door, she didn't let the original owner wear new clothes at all, and she didn't know how to sew and thread herself, how could she teach Shui Yao, a cheap girl?
Therefore, for Aunt Fang's enthusiasm and lack of selfishness, Shui Yao was grateful from the bottom of her heart, so no matter what she thought, she felt that she would take so many things away from the Fang family today. However, looking at today's appearance, Fang's mother refused to accept her own money, which made Shui Yao feel a little headache.
After all, the experience of her previous life told her that problems that can be solved with money are not big problems, but human feelings are different. This thing is very delicate, it can't be estimated with money at all, if you owe a favor, you will always think about it in your heart. However, through today's relationship, Shui Yao can see that Aunt Fang treats her sincerely. Therefore, while Shui Yao was moved, he also decided to go to Fang's house more in the future and bring more things to express his gratitude.
In the next few days, because of the potatoes brought by Fang Peinan, Shui Yao temporarily solved the problem of raw materials, and after a period of trial sale, his potatoes were completely opened at the gate of the primary school.
With such conditions, Shui Yao saw the opportunity and increased the production capacity, and the number of potatoes increased from 50 to 80 packs a day to 200 packs, and sometimes even 300 packs was not enough for Shui Yao to sell in a morning. In this way, the daily turnover has reached at least ten yuan or more, and in just a few days, Shui Yao has saved forty yuan.
Compared with the booming business on Shui Yao's side, Li Xuemei has completely fallen to the point where no one cares. It was supposed to be the first day. His business there was barely afloat. A few students were able to buy a pack or two when they walked here, but after only two or three days, the wind was completely wrong. This time, no matter how much she shouted, no one came over to buy a packet of potato chips.
Now watching Shui Yao sell out of things and leave early every day, Li Xuemei's heart became more and more uncomfortable, looking at Shui Yao was like a thorn in the flesh, and she was tortured day and night and couldn't feel comfortable.
But the match agreed by the two lasted for a week, and because of Li Xuemei's previous self-confidence, the matter of the competition between the two was publicized, so now she didn't dare to break the contract in advance, so she could only come over and continue the business.
In order to increase sales, Li Xuemei lowered the price of things again and again, and even remade the previous peanuts and rice as a commodity and bought and sold them together with potato chips, but even though the price of these things has fallen to only two cents per pack, neither students nor teachers stop stopping after seeing these things.
Such a result made Li Xuemei, who had been deeply aggrieved for several days, unable to bear it at all, overturned the basket containing snacks, and rushed towards the water that was about to leave in a frustration.
"You girl, don't think that if you win for a while, I can be overbearing here in the future, and I have one opponent, and thousands of opponents! The old lady doesn't believe it, I can't live without here! I also advise you, but don't be complacent, you think you've sold a few packets of potato chips, and you're really a character. Be careful when you go out and walk and flash your waist, and you will choke to death when you drink water! ”
Shui Yao could see that Li Xuemei was trying to find all kinds of unbearable words to provoke herself this time, but today is the last day, and the overall situation has been decided, even if Li Xuemei can sell a thousand packs today, she will not be able to turn things around. Facing the menacing Li Xuemei, Shui Yao just spit out a few words lightly.
"Sister Li, the victory has been decided. Nothing you say can change the reality that you have failed. When we do business, we pay attention to integrity. May you lose your bet and wish you a prosperous business in the future. ”
Li Xuemei walked a few hundred meters with the basket and turned into a small alley, until she was sure that Shui Yao couldn't see herself, so she tried her best to throw the basket to the ground, and smashed the potato chips she made early in the morning, gritting her teeth and swearing secretly: "Little girl, I can't say who you can have the last laugh, let's see!"
In the next few days, because of Li Xuemei's complete withdrawal, Shui Yao's business at the gate of the primary school was dominant, and her business was even better than the previous days. Now Shui Yao has developed a habit of bookkeeping, after the end of her business every day, she will carefully record the sales and turnover of each day, and then put the money she earns into a small wooden box.
Because selling potato chips is a small business, most of the money collected is a bunch of cents, but in order to sort out the business situation, Shui Yao has to work hard every day to calculate the change. Shui Yao originally wanted to find an opportunity to exchange these gross tickets for whole money, so that it would be convenient to keep. But he is in business, except for his younger brother Shui Yun, no one else knows about this matter, thinking of the last time he met Shui Daquan, his father's strong resistance to doing business, Shui Yao decided to hide this matter.
As the saying goes, there are too many peaceful days, even God will look at it unpleasantly, and it will definitely make some stumbling blocks for you. Shui Yao is no exception here, the good business every day has made Shui Yao taste some sweetness and make a lot of money. But the problem lies in the money.
When Shui Yao returned home after the end of a business to take inventory, he found that although the total turnover was increasing, I don't know why, if according to the records of this time, Shui Yao's current change should be a full seventy yuan, but I had to count it carefully several times, and found that the money in the box was only sixty-five yuan. This result made her puzzled.
It stands to reason that her father Shui Daquan can't come back for a month now, once, he is busy working in the mine every day, not to mention his younger brother Shui Yun, who was sent to school by himself early in the morning, and during this time, Shui Yao will also give her some pocket money from time to time, and she believes that her younger brother has always been an upright, kind and lovely child, and he will not covet these changes at all.
But there are only four people in their Shui family, and this Wu Chunhua has been a lot more honest than before since she was cleaned up by her father last time. Besides, the work on the production team is so heavy, Wu
Chunhua is so busy every day that Shui Yao almost can't see her face when she comes back every day. If this money was not stolen by Wu Chunhua, then how could it be so much less for no reason?
