Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Wen Shu noticed that she was speaking very earnestly, which somewhat alleviated his suspicions about Xia Ru.
“Since you’ve explained all of these things, everyone has their own past, and I’m not such a petty person to hold your past against you.
“But I can’t stand your grandmother. If you want to continue being with me, you’ll have to choose between me and your grandmother.”
Xia Ru almost hesitated for a moment and then said, “Of course, I choose to be with you. My grandmother only loves her grandson, Xia Yu, in her heart. In her eyes, we granddaughters are just tools for her to acc.u.mulate dowry. She doesn’t truly care about us.
“When I saw her taking advantage of you that day, asking for clothes from your shop and ordering so much food, my heart ached for you.
“But I also don’t want my family to look down on you. Wen Shu, you understand how much I genuinely care for you, right?”
Seeing Xia Ruts att.i.tude of looking up to him and trusting him completely, Wen Shu felt satisfied.
His wife was like a tiger mother, often getting angry at him. In front of his wife, he felt disrespected. However, all of these feelings were being fulfilled while he spent time with Xia Ru.
That night, Wen Shu stayed up all night, finally making a decision. First, he had to help Xia Ru separate from her family.
During the entire weekend, Xia Wan’s shop offered a 50% discount, and by Sunday evening, the family gathered to calculate the income from these two days.
After Xia Wan finished calculating, everyone looked at her expectantly. Yan Han asked, “How much did we earn?”
Xia Wan replied, “These two days, we didn’t earn any money. In fact, we lost nearly 800 yuan.”
“What? We lost so much money? How many clothes do we need to sell to make up for it?” Yan Han couldn’t help but lament.
Xia Chen comforted her, “Mom, we were already selling at a 50% discount, so naturally, we would lose money on each piece of clothing. However, we sold a lot of clothes, some at a bigger loss, some at a smaller loss, and even some that made a profit. So, even though we lost 800 yuan in two days, I think it’s acceptable.
“Based on my estimate, even if we lost 1,500 yuan in these two days, it’s still manageable. ”
Yan Han couldn’t find any joy in this. She looked at Xia Chen and said with a wry smile, “You’re afraid that I haven’t been hit hard enough, so you’re here to criticize me. If we really lose 1,500 yuan, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Xia Wan also comforted her, saying, “It’s okay, Mom. Although we lost some money these two days, once Monday comes, we’ll return to our regular prices. Many customers visited during the weekend, and we can expect more on Monday.
“My clothes are already in production at the factory, and the owner told me that the first batch of goods can be delivered within five days.
“So, this week, all we need to do is check how many clothes we have left and sell them all in this week.
“By next week, we’ll be selling only autumn clothes.”
Yan Han was a bit puzzled, “The weather is still very hot now. Will anyone buy autumn clothes? ”
Xia Wan explained, “I’ve already checked the weather forecast. There will be three days of rain in the coming week. Once it rains, the weather will immediately turn cooler.
“Plus, this week, we’ll buy a batch of umbrellas and put them in the store. If anyone wants to buy them, we can sell umbrellas as well.
“People usually buy summer clothes when the summer starts, so they won’t buy them now that summer is almost over. That’s why selling autumn clothes will last longer..”
