Chapter 7: 007
The business was good at the stall, and Su Ruan was selling well when he heard a hesitant voice from the side, "Su Ruan?"
Su Ruan raised her head and found that it was Huo Xiangmei who she saw only yesterday.
"It's really you," Huo Xiangmei frowned slightly as she looked at her stall, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, "How do you sell things?"
Su Ruan smiled and introduced the hair tie directly to a customer who had just inquired, acting like she had no time to care about her.
Huo Xiangmei hesitated for a while, but went to the booth to pick two, and asked, "Sister Ruan, how do you sell these two?" The tone was attentive.
Su Ruan saw that she chose two yarns, and while asking for money, she replied, "Do you like these two? Just give me a dollar."
Huo Xiangmei was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Su Ruan to ask her for money, and his face immediately dropped.
Su Ruan knew what she was thinking at a glance. After all, the Huo family was still extremely poor before Huo Xiangyang went to work in the south. Huo's mother was not in good health. with a lot of foreign debt.
Huo Xiangmei has always had the problem of taking advantage of small things, but she did not change it when she grew up.
In my last life, I relied on being a little sister-in-law. After I went to college, I didn't say anything else. Even the long clothes, long pants, underwear and underwear were bought by Huo Xiangyang. Where to buy clothes.
Su Ruan was very angry about this.
She's not stingy, or she's particularly annoyed by the kind of people who take advantage of things and don't have enough.
She is willing to give, no matter how much she gives, but if she is asked for it, or forced to give it, I am sorry, I don't have a cent.
Like now, I am still a pauper.
Huo Xiangmei pinched two hair ties, seeing Su Ruan looking like she was about to collect money, she said unwillingly, "Sister Ruan, my brother and I met Sister Qingqing today. , The station my brother took her to, they had a good chat yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet today."
So don't hurry up and flatter me, so that you can say good things in front of my brother!
Su Ruan didn't lift her eyelids, and agreed, "Then they are very fateful. Your sister Qingqing fell in love with your brother yesterday, so I went to break off the marriage with the Lu family today."
"After a while, maybe she will be your sister-in-law."
Huo Xiangmei's eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Ruan ignored her and suggested to a selected girl next to her, "You have fair skin, this one will look better."
Seeing that Huo Xiangmei kept holding the hair tie, she smiled, "These two hair ties are not suitable for you, they look old-fashioned," she picked a check and handed it to her, "You When you're young, it looks better with this one."
Huo Xiangmei then reluctantly put down the two hair ties in her hand and took the one given by Su Ruan instead. This kills her.
In the end, I heard Su Ruan say, "This four hairs."
Huo Xiangmei:…
She is young at the end, and she is surrounded by similar young girls. She can't save face, so she can only reluctantly hand over the only fifty cents on her body to Su Ruan, and Su Ruan smiled and found her Yi Mao, "If you like it, come here often."
Huo Xiangmei took a hair tie and returned home angrily.
Huo Xiangyang and Huo's mother also just arrived at the door of the house. Seeing her angry look, Huo Xiangyang smiled, "What's wrong?"
Huo Xiangmei said angrily, "It's not that Su Ruan!"
Huo Xiangyang immediately became concerned, "What happened to her? Did you go to Sujiagou?"
"No," Huo Xiangmei said contemptuously, "she set up a stall at the Phoenix Department Store to sell things, brother, go and stop her, I don't want my sister-in-law to be a speculator. "
After all, Huo Xiangyang worked in the south for two years, but he did not reject Su Ruan's stalls so much, but was a little surprised, "What does she sell?"
Huo Xiangmei angrily showed them the hair tie on her hand, "This one sells so black, 40 cents a piece, and it's too bad for me to pay for it."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She spent most of the pocket money she had saved so hard to go out. Thinking of what she said about Huo Qingqing, she immediately said, "Brother, I think Sister Qingqing is better than that. Su Ruan is much stronger, you marry Sister Qingqing."
Huo Xiangyang laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, Su Qingqing is engaged."
"She has gone to the city to break off the marriage."
Huo Xiangyang and Huo Mu were stunned.
"It was Su Ruan who said it," Huo Xiangmei immediately became excited when he mentioned this, "She said that Su Qingqing liked you when we met yesterday, so I went to the city today to break off the marriage and want to marry you."
Huo Xiangyang was in a complicated mood for a while. Although he liked Su Ruan more, but Su Qingqing did this for himself, he was still moved...
He was still struggling, but Mother Huo said firmly, "Don't talk nonsense, Su Ruan is most likely to say angry words."
"Even if it's true, Su Qingqing can't do it!"
Huo Xiangmei was surprised, "Mom, didn't you like Sister Qingqing a lot yesterday?"
"She won't be my daughter-in-law, what do I hate about her?"
Huo's mother asked Huo Xiangmei, "I will ask you, if when you see each other, Xiang Li is more prettier and more lively than you, rushing to speak in front of you and pestering her. Your partner, do you think Xiang Li is good?"
Huo Xiangmei's eyes widened, "She is shameless?"
She reacted immediately, "So, it was Su Qingqing who bullied Su Ruan yesterday? Did he deliberately rob my brother in front of her?"
Huo Xiangyang laughed, "You think too much, Su Qingqing is just a cheerful person, Su Ruan is not very talkative, she was like that in high school."
Mother Huo didn't want to talk about it in detail, after all, it was harmless for Su Qingqing to seduce her son, and it could also create a sense of crisis for Su Ruan;
But if she wants to marry her, Mother Huo can't just ignore it.
"Did you not listen to her second aunt yesterday? My father left it to the old lady when he was three years old, no matter what, her father is the director of the Education Bureau at this time. The conditions are definitely not bad, she But he has never lived in the county town."
"It's said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Don't you know it just by looking at the big girl next door?"
"Su Ruan looked at her, her second aunt kept pulling us and not letting us talk to Su Ruan. I thought the second room of the Su family just couldn't see Su Ruan, but I didn't expect it to be the idea. ."
Huo Xiangyang thought that Su Ruan had been quietly in front of the meek background board yesterday, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable and felt a little guilty at the same time. So is the jar broken?
Seeing that her son was soft-hearted, Mother Huo continued, "Su Qingqing can flirt with you when she is engaged, and she can flirt with others when she encounters a better one. She is not a serious person."
"No way." Huo Xiangyang subconsciously defended Su Qingqing, "The object of her betrothal is a paralyzed man..."
A young and beautiful girl, who would like to marry a paralyzed man, has some excuses.
Huo Xiangmei also said, "How can she meet someone better than my brother, I think it's not impossible if she really broke off the marriage for my brother."
He pouted and said, "Anyway, I don't like Su Ruan. Yesterday I felt that she was talking to my brother in a weird way, and it was intentional to be so afraid of me today."
"It's really strong, who can afford it?"
Mother Huo rolled her eyes at her, "The clay figurine still has a three-point earthiness. If it were you, you might not be as good as her."
Huo Xiangmei was still upset, "I just don't like her anyway."
Huo Xiangyang reminded him through Huo Xiangmei that he realized that what he did yesterday was really inappropriate, and the more he thought about it, the more he could not sit still.
Although he is two years older than Su Ruan, he pays attention to her just like other boys. He knows that she is a stubborn person who cannot rub sand in his eyes. It's over for him.
"Where is she? Let me see."
Mother Huo quickly grabbed him, "Don't rush to find her."
"Mom," Huo Xiangyang can't be in a hurry, "she came to the county alone, don't know, forget it, if I know, can I go and see?"
"You child!" Huo's mother said angrily, "Can mom hurt you?"
"You mother knew that Su Qingqing's family was making trouble yesterday, why didn't you help her speak?" Huo mother said.
"Su Ruan is indeed stronger than Su Qingqing, but your sister is right, she is too arrogant, and her father is the director of the Education Bureau, she is not afraid of setting up a street stall by herself Embarrassing her father, it can be seen that the idea is also very big."
"In the past, it didn't matter if her parents didn't care, but if she wants to marry into our family, she still has to grind her temperament."
Huo Xiangyang wondered why he went to Su Ruan first to grind her temper.
Mother Huo had to break it up and tell him, "Do you think you are rushing to find her, she is easy to listen to you; or she is bullied, and you show up to help her when there is no way to do it, Is she even more deadly towards you?"
Of course it was the latter, Huo Xiangmei immediately understood what Huo's mother meant, "Yes, she probably knows that she can't fight Su Qingqing, and thinks that we also like Su Qingqing, so I don't have any expectations, That's what **** us off."
"When she finds out that she misunderstood us," Huo Xiangmei, 17, put herself into Su Ruan, "When you thought Su Qingqing was going to take you away, you chose her firmly. , ah ah ah, so romantic!"
Mother Huo smiled, of course there was another reason she didn't say, she wanted to make Su Ruan feel that the Huo family made a reluctant choice after considering and comparing her with Su Qingqing.
With Su Qingqing staring at her side, if Su Ruan doesn't want to be disliked by the Huo family, she has to be cautious in her words and deeds and behave well.
She is not a bad mother-in-law, but her daughter-in-law still has to hold on to it. .
Huo Xiangyang always felt that it was not right, and Huo's mother knew that Maotou boy couldn't hold his breath, so he coughed quietly.
Huo Xiangyang was immediately drawn back to his attention, and hurriedly said, "Mom, why are you coughing again?"
"Maybe it's because of the wind outside today, just drink the medicine."
Huo Xiangyang hurried to boil the medicine.
Huo Xiangmei felt depressed when she saw the hair ring on her wrist when she was helping Huo's mother on the kang, "Mom, does it really have to be Su Ruan? It cost me 40 cents, she It's too much."
Mother Huo is also a budget-conscious person, so when she heard the words, she brought it over to see how it was worth 40 cents, but at first glance, she felt that it was too much of a loss. Mom can make a bunch for you in a while."
Huo Xiangmei felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this, and her heart was bleeding.
Mother Huo thought, "How much did you say she sold for?"
"Four cents," Huo Xiangmei said, "there are also ones with a gauze edge and flower buttons sewn on for six cents."
"Can you sell it?" Mother Huo asked.
"It sells very well. I think a lot of people are rushing it. I bought a dozen or so in less than five minutes."
Mother Huo was immediately moved, this thing is too simple, one or two hundred can be made a day, the cost is five yuan at most, and one can earn ten yuan for two cents. In this case, Earning three hundred a month is higher than the wages of steel mill workers!
She wouldn't do this, after all, it's too embarrassing, but she can let her mother's sister-in-law do it, and it can be regarded as repaying the previous favor. Every time she goes back to her mother's house, the shrew is always angry with her.
In order to verify what Huo Xiangmei said, Huo's mother sent Huo Xiangyang to repair the courtyard wall after taking the medicine, and she went to the downstairs of Phoenix Department Store to observe for a while, and saw the people in front of Su Ruan's stall There was indeed an endless stream, so I went directly to my mother's house.
As for whether it will affect Su Ruan's business, Huo's mother is not worried at all. What she earns now is only Su Ruan's private money, not from the Huo family. It is more respectable for my son to go to work in the south than to set up a street vendor in the county town. Otherwise, everyone knows that the Huo family's daughter-in-law is a street vendor, and their family can't afford to lose this person.
