70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 16: Return the money? Isn't this going to kill me?

Shen Nanqiao didn't have any special reaction, he just walked over and said:

"Mom, I'll take Jiang Zhe to the car later."

"What? Daughter-in-law, you want to send Jiang Zhe off?"

Song Xia was a little surprised.

Shen Nanqiao nodded: "This is what I, as a daughter-in-law, should do. I will take the children with me to see them off."

"Okay, Mom. Yaoyao wants to go with you." Jiang Yaoyao suddenly became excited.

Jiang Minghan protected Jiang Yaoyao and said seriously:
"Yaoyao! Don't go! We'll wait at home. Have you forgotten about getting lost last time?"

The last time Jiang Yaoyao and Shen Nanqiao went out, only Shen Nanqiao came back alone, which made Jiang Minghan feel scared.

Jiang Minghan knew very well that Shen Nanqiao had a bad character, so he did not dare to let his guard down at all.

He held Jiang Yaoyao tightly in his arms, lowered his head and said to his sister:
"Yaoyao, be good. If you want to go out and play, brother will take you. Let's not go with her."

Shen Nanqiao noticed the wariness in Jiang Minghan's eyes. Although he felt a little pain in his heart, he did not show any displeasure.

Jiang Zhe packed his luggage expressionlessly and said, "I can go by myself. Mom, please take care of the house."

Song Xia's eyes were moist, and she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Jiang Zhe, you can go with peace of mind, mom is at home."

After watching Jiang Zhe leave, Shen Nanqiao turned and walked towards Jiang Yaoyao.

Jiang Minghan's eyes flashed with vigilance and fear, but Jiang Yaoyao broke free from her brother's arms, a sweet smile on her face, and shouted, "Mom."

Shen Nanqiao's heart softened instantly. He raised his hand and touched Jiang Yaoyao's hair, and asked with concern: "Yaoyao, dear, why are your clothes torn?"

Jiang Minghan covered it with his hand and said stiffly, "I will sew it for my sister, don't worry about it."

"Xiaohan, you... know everything?"

Shen Nanqiao felt a little emotional as he looked at the little boy in front of him who was only two years older than Yaoyao but seemed much more mature and stable.

Jiang Minghan, however, was full of doubts about Shen Nanqiao. She didn't love them at all before. She felt annoyed when she saw them and never cared about their food and clothing.

She never cared whether her clothes were torn or not, as long as she felt comfortable wearing them.

The same goes for eating. She never cared whether they were full or not, but she would eat meat at every meal.

The most outrageous incident happened when an employee from my grandfather’s factory gave Yaoyao a bag of candy, but it was snatched away by Shen Nanqiao as soon as they got home.

These things were deeply imprinted in Jiang Minghan's heart, and he couldn't let go.

Although he knew that Shen Nanqiao seemed different after hitting his head, he still didn't dare to believe it easily.

Yaoyao has a simple and kind personality and speaks softly, but he cannot be shaken.

"What's wrong? You never care about us, so stop pretending here." Jiang Minghan said.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at the brother and sister and said, "I'll go make you some new clothes."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Seeing this, Song Xia hurried forward and took out three yuan from her pocket.
"Nan Qiao, do you really want to buy cotton cloth for your child? I still have three dollars here, which can buy two pieces of good cloth. If you want to make clothes for your child, I support you."

Shen Nanqiao took a look, calculated in his mind, and asked, "Mom, how much money is left at home this month?"

Song Xia looked embarrassed and replied:

"Nan Qiao, this month's expenses are quite high. Your father's salary will not be paid until next month, so we may have to save a little. But Mom will still try her best to satisfy you with whatever you want to eat."

Shen Nanqiao frowned slightly. She had only been here for a few days and had no idea how much money the original owner had spent, but she was too embarrassed to ask in detail at this time.

She paused, returned the three yuan to Song Xia, and said:
"I'll find a way to solve it, Mom. You stay at home and take good care of the children." After saying that, Shen Nanqiao left the Jiang family.

There was no place to buy cotton cloth in the village, so Shen Nanqiao had to run to the market near the steel plant.

After finally arriving at the cotton shop, Shen Nanqiao shouted as soon as he entered the door:
"boss."

When the boss saw Shen Nanqiao, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a big customer of the store!

Every time the store received new fabrics, Shen Nanqiao would come and buy the best fabrics to wear.

Another big customer of the store is Liang’s daughter-in-law Su Qian.

Su Qian is not at work today. When she learned that there were new fabrics in the store, she came to choose some.

"Comrade Shen is here. The store just received a batch of imported fabrics. I went through a lot of trouble to get them.

Look at this Dacron, it’s crisp and wrinkle-free, easy to wash and dry, and the color is nice. Although it’s a bit expensive, you will definitely look beautiful in it!

Look, Comrade Su is trying on a sample of new fabric, a skirt made of this new fabric!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qian walked out of the fitting room.

The high-waist design makes her figure look taller and her legs look slender. Su Qian tied her hair into two ponytails, and she looked very delicate.

When Su Qian saw Shen Nanqiao, a hint of barely perceptible contempt flashed across her eyes. She thought to herself that Shen Nanqiao always came here upon hearing the news.

Su Qian immediately said to the boss:
"Boss, I want all these new fabrics.

My husband Liang said that the weather is getting cold in autumn, so he asked me and the children to make some warm clothes. This Dacron fabric is really good, let’s wrap them up.”

If it were usual, the boss would definitely be happy to sell all the fabrics to Su Qian, but now Shen Nanqiao is here too.

Although the Jiang family's income is not as high as the Liang family's, Shen Nanqiao's spending in the store is no less than Su Qian's.

The boss smiled and said to Su Qian:

"Comrade Su, I know you come here every time you have new products. But now Comrade Shen is here too. Comrade Shen is also our old customer. I can't help but take care of her when she has good materials.

Look, why don't you discuss who to sell this batch of materials to?"

As soon as the boss said this, the woman next to Su Qian snorted coldly:
"What are you discussing? Every time Qianqian comes to try on clothes or buy fabrics, Shen Nanqiao, you should come along.

Qianqian came here first today, Qianqian, please stop being so good-tempered and give the fabric to her!"

The boss' eyes lit up, he had new fabrics in his warehouse.

The cloth in the store alone is worth thirty dollars. If both of them buy it, he will make a lot of money today.

However, Shen Nanqiao looked calm and unaffected, and said, "Boss, I'm here to ask for a refund today."

The smile on the boss's face disappeared instantly, and he stared at Shen Nanqiao with wide eyes: "What? Comrade Shen, what did you say?"

"I stored some fabrics at your place a while ago, planning to make new clothes.

Now I don't need it anymore, and I don't need so much fabric, so please return the money to me."

When the boss heard that he wanted to return the money, he got anxious and hurried forward and said:
"Comrade Shen, every time you come, we will do our best to make new clothes for you. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell us.

The clothes made of this Dacron fabric are really beautiful. How about you buy a little and I will make you a sample to look at?"

Shen Nanqiao remained unmoved.
"No, I just want to buy some cloth and make my own clothes in the future. Please give this Dacron cloth to Comrade Su."

After hearing this, Su Qian's eyes tightened.
