It was impossible to keep Xia Qiufang’s going to work at Jiang Ran’s shop a secret.
Besides, it wasn’t sothing that couldn’t be seen in the light of day, so from the beginning, Jiang Ran hadn’t planned to hide it.
Jiang Ran had anticipated such a scene from the start.
After everyone cald down from their excitent, Jiang Ran finally spoke.
"Don’t think that going to work is an easy task. Qiu Fang goes to work at my place and has to be there by eight in the morning every day. She may not even get off work on ti in the evening, and she can’t co and go during the day. She gets a few days off each month, but they are limited. If she needs to take a leave, her pay will be deducted."
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, everyone showed hesitation on their faces.
Those who were eager to work just now were about the sa age as Wang Cuilan, all with families to care for, so it was impossible for them to be gone all day, every day.
Jiang Ran glanced over everyone’s faces and continued, "To work at my place, you need to be able to use a sewing machine for making clothes, preferably knowing so embroidery. Your stitchwork should be fine, and the clothes you make shouldn’t be coarse."
"Your hands need to be smooth and soft, without calluses or hangnails; otherwise, they’ll scratch the fabric. If the fabric gets damaged, you’ll have to compensate at the original price."
As Jiang Ran spoke, everyone instinctively took a few steps back.
Now they weren’t eager to work anymore, even if Jiang Ran really wanted to hire them, they weren’t planning to go.
Is this even a job?
This is practically asking for suffering!
A monthly wage of fifteen yuan wasn’t easy to earn, after all.
Seeing everyone stay silent, Jiang Ran smiled at them, "Since there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way. There’s still a lot to handle!"
Saying that, Jiang Ran rode off with Xia Qiufang.
On the road, Jiang Ran asked Xia Qiufang, "Qiu Fang, after hearing what I just said, do you still want to go?"
"Yes!" Xia Qiufang answered without hesitation, "I want to go."
No matter how tough the job is, she intended to go.
Xia Qiufang figured working with Jiang Ran to open a store was surely better than staying ho making clothes by herself.
At the village entrance.
After watching Jiang Ran ride away, everyone exchanged glances but still didn’t speak.
Who knew how much ti passed before Xu Cuihua finally spoke, "Who knows if what she said is true or not? Opening a store in the county, doesn’t she already have a store? Does she really think opening a store is that easy?"
Xu Cuihua had her reasons for saying this. After Jiang Ran’s business succeeded and spread through the village, Xu Cuihua was tempted and also thought of selling food in the county.
But for so reason, Jiang Ran’s business was booming, while hers had no custors.
Refusing to give up, Xu Cuihua persevered for a while longer, but it was still to no avail.
Xu Cuihua didn’t believe it was her problem and thought Jiang Ran had taken her business.
After all, they both sold food, and their offerings included baozi and porridge.
Since then, Xu Cuihua increasingly disliked Jiang Ran.
But because Jiang Ran was not soone easily trifled with and left early and returned late every day, even if Xu Cuihua had grievances, she had neither the ti nor the opportunity to express them.
Jiang Ran, who had already gone far, didn’t know about these underlying reasons, but even if she did, she’d probably just laugh it off.
