Ye Xiaotong’s business lasted for two weeks, but it just couldn’t continue.
She was consistently losing money.
The problem was she couldn’t figure out a way to attract custors to buy her cold dishes.
Every day was a loss, and in the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore, so she shut the shop door, planning to think of another way.
If it went on like this, she couldn’t even make ends et, so what was the point of doing business?
She had less than thirty yuan left; what should she do?
If she had known, she wouldn’t have rented this lousy store!
The rent was ridiculously high!
And the business wasn’t good at all!
Those custors must have found out that the store had changed hands, so they deliberately didn’t co to buy her stuff.
Otherwise, why would He Chen’s braised food business do so well while she couldn’t sell hers and kept losing money?
Moreover, after Yang Xiui left, Wu cried and fussed every day, and Ye Xiaotong felt she was about to be driven mad.
She now regretted renting the store to do business, feeling like she was going to lose all her money!
After staying at ho for a few more days, she really couldn’t think of a way out, so she had to look around to see if she could find another line of work.
But who would be willing to share their business secrets with a stranger?
Ye Xiaotong hit a wall everywhere, and no one was willing to give her any advice.
She tried hard to recall what was popular in her past life at this ti, and she finally thought of hairdressing!
It was the first year that starting a business had beco popular, and after the first batch of entrepreneurs succeeded, many others followed suit, but she couldn’t stand her ground among them.
Because she had no support and no help!
But hairdressing was very simple!
And she only needed to buy the tools once, and each haircut afterward would earn her pure inco, with no unsold goods or losses!
However, opening a hairdressing store wasn’t easy.
Although she had a store, she didn’t have a big mirror, chairs for custors, or hairdressing tools, and buying all these would cost more than her thirty yuan!
It would be better to apply to work at soone else’s store, beco an apprentice, and then start over with the wages and savings earned.
Action followed thought.
Ye Xiaotong, carrying her child, went directly to a hairdressing shop she had her eye on.
The shop had a large sign, and the space inside was big, with four large mirrors and four chairs!
The na was impressive too, called "Haircut King"!
If she could work in such a big hairdressing shop, she would surely learn many skills.
However, because Ye Xiaotong needed to bring her child to work, the boss didn’t want her.
But the boss seed to pity her, saying that if she could solve her child problem and not bring the child, she could work there.
Ye Xiaotong was delighted and imdiately thought of Yang Xiui, who had just returned not long ago.
And since Wu was born, it had been Yang Xiui who had taken care of him, and he cried less with her!
Thinking of this, she imdiately rushed back to the village.
Yang Xiui had already stopped sharing a bed with Ye Guoqiang.
Anyway, both daughters were married off, and Ye Xiaotong wasn’t living at ho, so she stayed in Ye Xiaotong’s room.
When Ye Xiaotong returned ho with her child to ask for her help, Yang Xiui was initially very disappointed, blaming her daughter for being unfilial, but Ye Xiaotong, with tears and a runny nose, managed to soften Yang Xiui’s heart.
Yang Xiui followed Ye Xiaotong back to her shop.
This ti, Ye Xiaotong worried that if she wasn’t nice to Yang Xiui, she might get mad and go back ho, so she specifically bought so nice food on the day Yang Xiui ca.
That finally put Yang Xiui in a good mood.
Now that the child problem was resolved, Ye Xiaotong went back to the hairdressing shop the next day.
The shop’s boss was a very fashionable woman, who sympathized much with Ye Xiaotong’s situation and even offered her a salary of four yuan a month.
Because she was an apprentice, four yuan was quite a lot.
After all, female workers in factories earned only about eight to ten yuan a month, so the woman giving her four yuan a month and teaching her skills was very generous.
Ye Xiaotong was very grateful and started her first day of work that day.
The Haircut King’s business was excellent.
There were many custors coming for haircuts every day.
There were two people in the shop responsible for haircuts, one was Wang, the boss, and the other was Wang’s son, Wang Gang.
Although Wang Gang was unattractive and short, his hairdressing skills were quite good, and Wang said that after she got familiar with washing hair, Wang Gang would teach her hairdressing skills.
With Wang’s promise, Ye Xiaotong was very diligent on her first day of work.
But she had never washed anyone else’s hair before, so she either accidentally got water in the custor’s eyes or ssed up the water temperature, and each custor had a different acceptable temperature, which made many of them unhappy.
Ye Xiaotong was worried about being fired on her first day, but Wang patted her shoulder and told her that all newcors make mistakes and to rember them and practice well next ti.
This moved her trendously, and that night Ye Xiaotong even carefully washed Yang Xiui’s hair.
Yang Xiui, having lived most of her life, had never had her hair washed by her daughter, and after working a day, Ye Xiaotong was so considerate that she ca back to wash her hair, Yang Xiui was deeply touched, even gave Ye Xiaotong a yuan, telling her not to be mistreated.
Ye Xiaotong was also moved.
She hadn’t expected her mother to still care for her despite her mistreatnt.
Ye Xiaotong decided that when she opened her hairdressing shop, she would never let Yang Xiui down, and she would make sure her mother lived a good life too.
In the following days, Ye Xiaotong’s hair-washing skills improved, and custor complaints decreased.
Everything seed to be moving in the direction she envisioned.
However, one day, a particularly sleazy custor showed up.
Initially, Ye Xiaotong just thought the custor was ugly and kept staring at her legs, but she didn’t think much of it and washed his hair as usual.
But midway through the wash, the custor suddenly touched her thigh.
It was sumr, and her clothing was light, and washing hair in the back of the store was hot, so Ye Xiaotong was wearing a relatively thin dress.
The custor touched her thigh and then retracted his hand; by the ti Ye Xiaotong reacted, she couldn’t catch him and had to swallow the loss.
But after the first ti, the custor quickly reached out and touched her a second ti!
This ti, Ye Xiaotong was on alert and quickly caught the man’s hand.
But the man suddenly laughed, not afraid of her complaining, looking at her with a devilish grin.
"Washing hair doesn’t earn much, right?"
"I heard you have a son to raise? That must cost quite a lot each month, right?"
"Spend one ti with , and I’ll give you a yuan."
"How about it?"
