The older woman noticed that the store had a wide variety of goods, including items for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and that several cotton-padded coats were priced really low, so she couldn't resist buying some.

She has elderly parents and young children to support, and they have never been well-off.

Now that my eldest daughter is working, she really doesn't have many decent clothes. It's time for the young lady to dress up a bit.

He then said to Li Yueshu:

"Then could you please take that coat off so I can take a look?"

Li Yueshu helped her take off her coat.

The two girls came out after trying on the clothes, looked in the mirror, and were very satisfied.

My sister is tall, and she looks very smart in her trench coat.

My sister chose a pair of blue flared jeans, which suited her very well.

The eldest sister handed the blue-purple suit jacket to her eldest daughter:

"Try this one too."

The eldest daughter's eyes lit up: "Mom, are you buying this one too?"

The older sister said, "If it's suitable, I'll buy it."

The eldest daughter glanced at her mother cautiously:

"Then buy me another sweater. All my sweaters are knitted by you. They're not fitted and don't look good with this coat and trench coat."

The eldest sister rolled her eyes at her eldest daughter:

"Choose for yourself. If you buy this, don't even think about buying anything for Chinese New Year."

The eldest daughter happily said, "I won't buy any next year."

She chose a white turtleneck sweater and went in to try it on.

The little girl was also very happy to have her favorite jeans, and she picked out a white T-shirt.

The eldest daughter was very satisfied with the clothes she had chosen after trying them on, and then picked out three more T-shirts. Two were for herself, and one dark-colored one was for her mother.

Nowadays, people prefer to wear shirts, and fewer people buy T-shirts. Nie Li used to have a lot left over.

Final settlement:

"Trench coat 98, sweater 80, jeans 68, jacket 70, total 316, sis, you can just give me 315."

Upon hearing that these clothes cost over three hundred yuan, the eldest daughter took out the suit jacket:

"I don't need this one, I just need a trench coat."

Her mother, however, simply took out the money:

“You’ve been working for a few months now, so we can afford to buy you a couple of new outfits.”

After receiving the money, Bai Zhenzhu gave the two sisters two silk scarves, and the three of them happily left with their clothes.

Li Yueshu felt a pang of regret for giving away so many T-shirts at once.

"Pearl, won't we lose money by giving away so many T-shirts?"

Bai Zhenzhu gave her a reassuring look:

"We won't lose money; the profit margin on clothing is high."

Those T-shirts are sold by weight in Lianhuachi and Yangcheng, and they're not worth much.

As soon as he finished speaking, two more groups of people came in, both attracted by the buy-one-get-one-free offer.

Then people started coming into the store one after another.

Xia He never returned, and seeing that Bai Zhenzhu was busy here, she decided to stay and help.

A little while later, Xu Yin also came over. Seeing so many customers in the store, she didn't sit idle either. Since she didn't know how to sell clothes, she helped keep an eye on things to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to steal clothes.

It wasn't until after 6 p.m. that I finally had some free time.

Summer Lotus's Thoughts:

"If the new models sell this well, then we'll be rich. But I did learn a trick from you; we can do the same promotion when the new models arrive."

Like Nie Li, she also had a lot of inventory in her warehouse, which she used to sell at a discount. The white pearl gave her an idea.

Bai Zhenzhu checked the time, thinking there shouldn't be many people left, and said to Xia He:

"You've helped me all afternoon, let's go to my house for dinner."

Xia He didn't stand on ceremony with her:

"You should treat me to a meal; I came here specifically to help out, even though I had to close the door."

Just as Bai Zhenzhu was about to close the shop, a motorcycle stopped in front of the store.

Nie Lei was startled when he saw four women suddenly come out of the store.

stunned.

It was Bai Zhenzhu who recognized him first:

"Isn't this Comrade Nie? Are you here to see Sister Nie?"

Nie Lei's mind suddenly went blank:

"Oh? Oh, right, I... I forgot that my sister sold the shop to you."

Stared at by several women, Nie Lei's fair face flushed with a suspicious blush.

He quickly turned the motorcycle around:

"I'm going to find my sister, Comrade Bai. Goodbye."

He nodded again to Xia He and the other two:

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he quickly rode away on his motorcycle.

Xia He burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, that guy is hilarious. He clearly came here specifically to find you."

White Pearl was puzzled:

"Looking for me? No way, I don't know him at all."

Xia He, however, was quite certain:

"She must have come specifically to find you. Her sister went to Chengdu yesterday."

Bai Zhenzhu locked the door without giving it much thought.

Xu Yin, however, felt that the young man from earlier was very likely interested in her sister. It was perfectly normal for such a beautiful girl like her to have men interested in her; it would be abnormal if no one did.

The restaurant was still busy, but Li Yueshu wasn't idle either, helping to clear tables and wash dishes.

Xiahe ate dinner around 8 PM before going home.

That evening, Bai Zhenzhu calculated that she had recouped nearly three thousand yuan.

The store looks like it has a lot of stock, but each item sold reduces the stock; those outdated jackets are all gone.

Nie Li left behind four or five thousand worth of goods; if she sold them all, she should be able to make seven or eight thousand.

That's why the clothing industry was incredibly profitable at that time.

Business was also good the next day. Several customers who had bought clothes the day before brought their friends over. They sold more than 2,000 yuan that day. Xu Yin basically helped out at the clothing store.

On the third day, fewer people were buying clothes because all the nice styles were sold out, and the store looked empty. She took some time to go to the housing management office and retrieve her property certificate.

On the fourth day, Bai Zhenzhu took the household registration booklet and took Shuo Shuo to register for kindergarten.

The kindergarten is located a little in front of Xingfu Community. It is jointly run by several nearby factories and is quite large.

Shuo Shuo successfully entered kindergarten and started the senior class.

The little guy seemed quite disappointed:

"Mom, I won't be able to play with my second brother anymore when I go to kindergarten."

The second brother he mentioned is Zhang Hongying's second son. Recently, Bai Zhenzhu has been busy, so Shuo Shuo usually plays with her two children.

"We can still play together after school, and we can even do our homework together," Bai Zhenzhu said.

Shuo Shuo immediately became happy again.

As they passed a braised meat shop, Xu Yin called out to Shuo Shuo and handed him a small backpack.

"Shuo Shuo, do you like it?"

Shuo Shuo nodded repeatedly: "I like it, thank you, Second Aunt, I really like it."

Because there was a red five-pointed star pinned to that schoolbag.

Bai Zhenzhu said shyly:

"Second sister-in-law, Shuo Shuo has a schoolbag."

She prepared new clothes and shoes for Shuo Shuo, thinking that his old schoolbag was still usable and that she would get a new one when he started elementary school next year. Unexpectedly, Xu Yin bought it for him.

Xu Yin glanced at her:

“Our Shuo Shuo is a city kid now, so he should have the best.”

She really didn't know how to repay Bai Zhenzhu, so she could only focus her efforts on Shuo Shuo.

After dinner, Liu Fang brought out a navy shirt, shorts, and a navy hat, which made Shuo Shuo very happy.

Li Yueshu took out a brand new pencil case, while Li Yuerong pulled out a toy gun.

Bai Zhenzhu felt quite embarrassed, as Li Yuerong and Li Yueshu hadn't received their salaries yet.
