Chapter 596: Chapter 596
Jiang Xin took the thirty yuan Zhang Xun handed her.
"Second sister, this outfit you made really fits well. If I wear this to the meeting, it will surely leave them dumbfounded. By the way, my dad is going to attend an international event and needs two suits. I’ll have him and my uncle come to you to have them made."
Zhang Xun originally only took the clothes over out of regard for Jiang Xiaoxiao’s second sister, and to do Jiang Xiaoxiao a favor.
They all had the same plan.
No matter if the clothes were made well or not, they would pay the same amount. If they were well-made, there would definitely be a next time.
If not, it wouldn’t damage Jiang Xiaoxiao’s reputation.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoxiao’s second sister’s skills were quite impressive. When he tried on the clothes just now, they fit perfectly, and wearing them made him feel several times more spirited.
Even he hadn’t expected the clothes to fit so well.
His bearing improved instantly, mainly because the style was so novel, giving a sense of elevated class.
It seems Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t bragging; her second sister really has a lot of talent.
That’s why Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke so highly of Jiang Xin’s work.
Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Alright then, have them think about their requirements in advance. Don’t worry! I’ll make sure everyone is satisfied. I can’t guarantee the style will be everyone’s favorite,
but I’ll do my best to make everything well. If anything doesn’t fit after you go back, you can come to me, and I’ll adjust it for you."
After all, these are big clients—one suit costs 30 yuan for the workmanship.
The workmanship fee is a month’s salary!
Jiang Xin couldn’t even imagine it. She initially thought making a set of clothes for two or three yuan was enough.
After all, other tailors charged about that price, but Jiang Xiaoxiao said that her clothes here were priced , advising her to be mentally prepared, so they’d charge everyone the same way in the future.
But Jiang Xin hadn’t expected that with such high workmanship fees, people would pay her without batting an eye, and no one seemed to mind at all.
It was as if thirty yuan wasn’t even money.
After seeing Zhang Xun off, Jiang Xin tidied up her room,
while pondering what to do next.
This room was given to her specially by Jiang Lei, because she’d received so many orders recently that there wasn’t enough space where she and the children lived.
Eldest sister Jiang Yue and brother-in-law were already planning to move out.
Qin Ming’s workplace’s welfare house allocation had been delayed due to a shortage of housing and too many people.
But this year they finally got a new house and managed to secure one for Qin Ming. Though it’s just two rooms and a living room, the couple is very happy.
They had planned to move out early.
Even if they didn’t get a house, Qin Ming planned to rent a place.
Living at the in-law’s isn’t ideal, and Qin Ming felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Yue also felt that since the family was getting crowded with Jiang Xin bringing her two kids and Jiang Lei still unmarried, continuing would mean everyone relying on their parents.
Jiang Xin knew that her big sister wanted to make room for her.
She tallied it up silently and found out she had earned over eight hundred yuan from making clothes these past two months.
It was shocking when she realized; she hadn’t expected to earn so much.
Based on her salary, she had earned in two months what she would usually need about three years to make.
A warm feeling filled her heart.
Now she had many returning customers for clothes, like Zhang Xun and Wang Huan. After having their clothes made, they immediately contacted her for their next orders and introduced her to their friends and family for clothes.
Jiang Xin believed that as long as she honestly worked hard and well, more returning customers would come her way.
If things continued this way, she could leave the factory job and start her own tailoring shop.
Her parents now helped with the kids whenever they weren’t making paper boxes.
The kids had grown, with one in kindergarten and one in primary school.
But they still needed three meals a day, and when they returned home, her parents took care of them.
Especially at night when she was working on clothes, the kids would be left to her parents, who bathed them, helped with homework, and got them to bed, making Jiang Xin feel guilty.
If she resigned from her factory job, she could use daytime for tailoring.
She would have more time to look after the kids and save her parents some trouble.
Suddenly, a wave of confidence surged; she felt hopeful for her future—if she continued to work hard and improve, more people would seek out her clothes, and she could earn eight hundred yuan in two months.
Which means in one year, she could make a lot of money.
She could buy a house close to her parents, take care of them, and let them help her too.
Then she could turn two rooms into a dedicated space for tailoring.
She could even set up displays in the house for people to see and choose from her designs directly.
No more worrying about the kids’ schooling in the future.
Jiang Xin felt her life brimming with hope; a sunny path lay ahead.
Whichever direction she chose, she proceeded with confidence.
The only regret was the kids often asked where their dad had gone. Despite Qin Dazhuang being a gambler and abuser, he was good to the kids.
The children still had endless attachment to their father; understandably so, as there’s an unbreakable bond.
However, Qin Dazhuang hadn’t visited the kids in these past few months, not even once, as if the divorce meant nothing.
Jiang Xin didn’t bother finding out how Qin Dazhuang was doing; besides gambling, what else would he do?
She felt no need to ask about this man who hurt her so deeply.
Why should she hold onto such a man?
The past romantic promises echoed in her ears, yet the man had long changed.
She put the money into an iron box; it was her first deposit, her first proud earning.
Unlike her salary, it was earned with her skills and abilities.
"Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xin, come out quickly, Qin Dazhuang is in trouble. I’ll take you to him,"
Jiang Lao called from outside, not even getting off his bike.
Jiang Xin was puzzled, "Dad, what’s Qin Dazhuang’s trouble got to do with me?"
"Qin Dazhuang attempted suicide by drinking rat poison. He’s in the hospital now, being rescued, and may not make it. Hurry and see him. I’ll have your mom pick up the kids. If this is the last time, no matter what kind of person he is, you can’t deny him a last look at his own children.
Any grave mistake can be forgiven when someone’s at death’s door."
Jiang Xin’s heart sank—Qin Dazhuang, attempted suicide?
Jiang Xiao hurriedly jumped onto Jiang Lao’s bicycle.
The two rushed to the hospital.
In the hospital emergency room, Qin Dazhuang was already foaming at the mouth, unconscious.
