Nonetheless, Xia Wan’s face remained calm. She even flashed a mocking smile after hearing Li Jin’s words.
“Grandma, who did you hear this from? Can you give us one yuan out of a hundred? Do you know that these clothes are all from the south? This includes the cost of the clothes, the transportation fee, and the workers’ wages.
“If the shop owner was that rich, she would have opened a shop. But she didn’t. She chose to let us set up a stall to save money.
“The shop owner said that the clothes are pretty, to begin with, and she herself invented the point system. It’s something the other shops don’t have. Even the gifts that can be exchanged for points are all carefully purchased by the shop owner, so the shop owner is confident that there will be a lot of customers if he sets up a stall.
“We were just lucky to have found this job. If it were someone else, they would have been able to do it too.”
As she spoke, Xia Wan looked at Xia Ye and asked, “Didn’t you bring your friends here to look at clothes today? You’ve seen the designs of those clothes. Theyre all very fashionable and fresh. Even without the three of us, you’d still be attracted, right?”
Xia Wan stared straight at Xia Ye, leaving her no room to lie.
Being questioned by Xia Wan like this, Xia Ye could not say anything wrong because those clothes were indeed pretty.
However, Zhou Yu had spoken to her so confidently back then, so it was obvious that there was a mission for selling clothes.
Xia Ye could not hold back her words, so she said directly, “If I’m only giving you 10 yuan a day, why are the three of you working so hard? You clearly don’t have any more benefits.”
Xia Wan explained naturally, “Because we don’t want dad and mom to work so hard. It’s precious enough for the three of us to get a good job. Of course, we will cherish it.
“Besides, the shop owner also said that if we sell well, he will give us some bonus at the end of the month. Do you really think the shop owner is so assured to leave the stall to me? Do you see that there’s a grocery store behind our stall? the owner of the grocery store is a friend of the owner.
“Usually, when we do business, the owner of the grocery store will also secretly watch us. If we do something bad, she will directly tell the owner.”
Xia Ye did not expect that such a relationship existed. Now, she was a little confused. Was what Zhou Yu said right, or was Xia Wan right?
Li Jin didn’t care so much. She said directly, “Alright, we’ll do as you say. If you only earn 10 yuan a day, then you probably don’t have much money on you. Let us search you. If you don’t have any money on you, then we’ll believe you.” It wasn’t just Xia Wan, but even Xia Feng and Xia Chen were angry.
As the elder brother, Xia Chen said directly, “Grandma, you’ve gone too far. We’ve been selling clothes all day and now that we’re home after much difficulty, you want to search us? Grandma, we’re really disappointed in you.”
Xia Feng’s face was also filled with displeasure, but he was still young, so he didn’t say anything. He just stood in front of Xia Wan silently, as though trying to protect his sister.
Xia Wan pondered in her heart. It looked like Xia Ye and Li Jin were going to continue quarreling with her today. Fine, she would make this matter big and see how big their faces were!
With this thought, Xia Wan started to cry and ran outside to open the door.
“Help! Grandma is going to search me. I just don’t want my parents to work so hard. Why is Grandma doing this to me?”
As she ran out, Xia Wan messed up her hair and even smeared some mud on her face, as if she had been beaten up.
Hearing her screams, the neighbors gathered around. Xia Wan cried so loudly and pitifully that her face was covered with tears. She even slumped on the ground in a sorry state.
“What’s happening? If there’s anything, we can talk it out.”
“That’s right. Your grandma said that the three of you found a job too. Why did you guys start quarreling after you got home? Did you encounter some problems at work?”
When the neighbors saw Xia Wan crying so miserably, although they wanted to watch the show, they still said some polite words.
Xia Wan didn’t expect them to care about her. As long as they were here, she could start her performance..
