Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Raising Money by Selling Clothes Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Raising Money by Selling Clothes Su Qing didn’t know how Sun Yian had talked about it, but by evening, people had co over, although Jhiang Yuan hadn’t gone out.
The power was out now, and it was pitch-dark outside.
She must be foolish—going out now, what if the other party had ill intentions?
The next day, the temperature dropped even further, and when she got up in the morning, the room temperature was only minus five degrees.
She wasn’t afraid, not to ntion there was still heating equipnt at ho.
Back in their hotown, it wasn’t uncommon for winter nights to drop to minus twenty or thirty degrees.
During the coldest spell, the dayti temperature could reach minus ten degrees.
When she was a child, she would still go out and play regardless.
That’s what she thought, but others didn’t think the sa way; early in the morning, before they even finished breakfast, a lot of people had already shown up.
“What are you all doing here?”
“Miss, we all heard about it from Building Manager Sun; we ca to buy clothes.”
The speaker was from apartnt 1602, who had previously bought drinks from her.
At this mont, he was shivering from the cold, his nose red, and he was rubbing his hands together.
He no longer had the good spirit he used to have, looking listless and languid.
“Really, then take a look and see what you like?”
Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yuan’s spirits were lifted too, and she imdiately pulled the floor-standing clothes rack inside the corridor over.
It was quite convenient as all the racks had casters underneath.
“Take a look, I have all won’s clothes here, do you want them?”
“Yes, I’ll even take won’s clothes; do you have any children’s clothes?”
“Yes, then co in and have a look!”
As she spoke, she was about to open the door to let 1602 in.
Suddenly, a hand pressed against hers; Jhiang Yuan, startled as if electrocuted, looked aghast.
It was a hand with distinct knuckles, and upon contact, she could feel the calluses.
Looking up, it was actually Song Yi.
He too was looking at her, shaking his head.
Jhiang Yuan imdiately realized that he was stopping her from opening the door.
“Which one do you like? I’ll get it for you.”
1602 thought he could enter, but it now seed that was not going to happen.
“The black one over there, see if you have a large size; that purple won’s one is fine too, bring them both over for to see.”
“Sure.”
Jhiang Yuan began to do business. She had started her career in sales, so selling things ca naturally to her.
Moreover, it wasn’t the custors choosing her now, as she was the only one with goods to sell.
“Song Yi, you can go back; I can handle this…”
“Hmm, okay!”
He had co out because he had heard the noise; Jhiang Yuan was a tough character.
Since she said so, he wasn’t worried anymore.
After Song Yi and his dog left, Jhiang Yuan began to focus on selling the goods.
1602 had dealt with her before, and he was alright, at least previously.
“How old is your child? What size do they need?”
“130, I guess!”
“Hold on…”
As Jhiang Yuan spoke, she started looking for clothes of that size.
After two minutes, she brought over a size 130 short hooded down jacket and a size 140 coral fleece pajama set.
“Take a look at these…”
Big n don’t picky—seeing the size was about right, it was good enough.
“How much?”
“Fifty thousand yuan…”
“What, so expensive?”
“God, this is like daylight robbery!”
The speakers were two middle-aged won, one and another older lady, both with sharp and harsh features.
Jhiang Yuan suspected they might be mother and daughter.
There were another man and two won beside them who didn’t say anything.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t spoil them; it was the apocalypse after all—who was more imposing than whom?
Those with resources were the kings, and dissent wasn’t an option.
“If you want to make noise, roll along quickly. This is mink fur; haven’t you ever slaughtered a pig, or eaten pig shit!”
Seeing her fierce temper, 1602 quickly ca over to diate.
“Miss, don’t be angry, fifty thousand it is—I just happen to have that amount.”
As he spoke, he actually took out the money, which he had stored close to his body. Despite his thick clothing, it had not been noticeable.
“Fine.”
Jhiang Yuan collected the money with a cold face, her mood finally easing sowhat.
It was unthinkable that soone in the building actually had so much cash at ho.
It seed that her outlook had been too narrow.
“Wait a minute…”
She went on, then picked up two size 130 autumn pajamas.
Though not thick, they were long-sleeved and long-pants, which could add so warmth when worn inside.
“Take these two pieces back as well!”
“Thank you, I really appreciate it…”
Unit 1602 thanked profusely before leaving, leaving the others anxious.
“What do you want?”
Jhiang Yuan pointed at a woman next to her, in her twenties, wearing several layers of clothing, probably because she lacked thicker clothes.
She must be renting and hadn’t had the chance to buy warm clothing yet.
“Miss, I only have two thousand yuan, I don’t know what I can buy?”
“Give the money!”
Jhiang Yuan felt exceptionally commanding, yet the other party dared not say anything.
“Hey, if I give you the money and you don’t give the clothes, then what?”
“Exactly, people like her are unpredictable…”
The elderly woman looked on with disdain, thinking it ludicrous to spend tens of thousands on clothing.
Jhiang Yuan looked at the young woman and tilted her head, “Make your choice.”
“I’ll take it!”
Having said that, she tremblingly handed over the money, using both hands.
Well, she’s a polite child.
After collecting the money, Jhiang Yuan began searching and eventually chose a triple-layer quilted pajama set for her, along with two pairs of towel socks.
“Thank you!”
The young woman had thought her money wouldn’t be enough for any clothes. She hadn’t expected to actually get them.
Nowadays, with soaring prices, many people with money couldn’t buy what they needed.
“What do you want?”
Jhiang Yuan pointed at a man next to her, in his early thirties, looking quite fit.
It seed she had seen him before but had never spoken to him.
“I want clothes for a child, here is the money.”
As he spoke, he quite obediently handed over five thousand yuan.
Su Qing sighed. Why is it always like this? When would they ever gather enough for an hour!
“Size?”
“Either 90 or 100 will do…”
“I don’t have anything that small, I’ll get you a size 110 then.”
“Alright!”
She searched around for a while and picked up a size 110 cotton-padded jacket and two coral fleece pajama sets.
It’s better for children not to catch a cold, as Xiao Nuan had frozen to death in her past life, sothing she couldn’t get over.
“Thank you…”
Three items of clothing, certainly not too few, and five thousand yuan was indeed a good value.
The man took the clothes, suddenly felt in his pocket, and found a piece of chocolate.
Imdiately, with a flustered look, he left quickly. Jhiang Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
“There’s no pleasing so people. Bring that black one over for to see…”
The elderly woman commanded imperiously, her voice full of strength.
“Scram…”
“What?”
She asked incredulously, quickly responding.
“Scram, I’m not selling my stuff to soone like you!”
“Who do you think you are? Buying from you is a privilege for you; do you know who I am?”
Jhiang Yuan slowly lowered her head, pretending to search her bag for sothing.
“I’m giving you one last chance, scram!”
As she spoke, she positioned a water gun on the railing.
“You dare…”
