The air became deathly still, and the faces of several women became more and more ugly. They stared at Chu Qiao's white and tender hands, and really wanted to swat the claws off. They had earned so much money, but they still had the nerve to ask them for ten yuan. Sure enough, the richer people are, the stingier they are, which is so shameless.

"Don't you have any money with you? Give it to me tonight." Chu Qiao was too lazy to waste time. She would definitely want the fifty yuan anyway, and she would have to get it back even if she came to ask for it.

If she didn't want the money, these women wouldn't say anything nice about her, and they might even say she was a fool for forgetting about the bet.

"Xiao Chu, you really know how to live."

A woman took out ten dollars angrily and stuffed it over angrily. It felt like a piece of flesh had been cut out with a knife, and it hurt her to death.

"My husband also praises me for my good housekeeping."

Chu Qiao pretended not to hear the woman's sarcasm, and deliberately praised herself. The remaining three women had to take out ten yuan, gritting their teeth, which made Chu Qiao feel even better.

After collecting the money, she added: "If you want to buy a sweater, I can take you there. The owner of that clothing store is my friend. You can get a 20% discount. No more."

"I can't afford it. I can't even afford meat this month. How can I have the money to buy such an expensive sweater." A woman choked angrily.

"Then buy wool and knit it yourself. This style is very easy. You need one piece for the front and back and four pieces for the sleeves. Then you can stitch them together and use a big needle to knit them in a few days."

After earning forty yuan, Chu Qiao was in a good mood. She was willing to share her experience in knitting sweaters with these women. It was really easy. She could knit exactly the same sweater in a week at most, but she was too lazy to knit. She knitted too much in her previous life. She has a lot of sweaters, but now she feels uncomfortable when she sees the needles and wool, but she still feels comfortable wearing them after buying them.

After she said this, several women became interested again. The wool was not expensive and they had time. The cost was only a dozen yuan, which was much more cost-effective than buying it and wearing it.

"Xiao Chu, please slow down, how do you knit?"

Chu Qiao pulled the sweater and said: "Look, this is obviously spliced. Weave it piece by piece. Use two needles instead of four. Buy thick wool. The pattern is also very simple. If you don't know this pattern, you can knit other ones." , don’t knit ingot needles, ingot needles require too much wool, are thick, and don’t look good when worn, so you need to knit a larger pattern..."

When it comes to knitting sweaters that she is good at, Chu Qiao is very clear. When she saw this sweater, a tutorial for knitting sweaters automatically appeared in her mind, and she knew this pattern at a glance. There are hundreds of sweater patterns, but In fact, everything remains the same as it is made up of flat stitches and top stitches. She has knitted a lot of sweaters, and she can easily identify many of the patterns just by looking at them.

Several women listened attentively to Chu Qiao, and their views on Chu Qiao also changed a bit. An expert would know if he was good at it. Chu Qiao was an expert at knitting at first glance. She had real skills, and was not a prodigal daughter-in-law who only knew how to spend money. .

"Xiao Chu, you can knit yourself, why did you buy something so expensive?" someone asked in confusion.

"It's so tiring to knit by myself, my arms are sore."

Chu Qiao's words made a few people feel sour again. These are rich people who can spend money and never do anything. Unlike them, who can do it themselves without spending money.

"I'm going to buy groceries, bye!"

Chu Qiao waved and left, walking briskly and jumping a few times from time to time. Her back looked like a little girl.

No matter how upset the women were, they had to admit that Chu Qiao was really beautiful.

"This sweater really costs $1, and it's not Tang Monk's golden cassock, so it's so expensive." A woman said sourly.

"Even if you don't use 1, Xiao Chu has always spent money lavishly. He would spend more than 100 on hairtail at a time. That means Chief Gu can make money, otherwise no man can afford to support her."

"Hmph, you are so rich and yet so stingy, even asking for ten yuan."

Thinking of the ten dollars that had been cheated out of them, the women felt even worse. They took their chosen dishes and went home to cook.

Ni Haitang was also in a bad mood because she knew that Chu Qiao was not lying. She knew that Beauty Clothing Store was very famous in Shanghai because the clothes were very expensive. Her cousin was a regular customer of that store and the clothes she wore were very beautiful. She was jealous and asked her cousin to take her to the store to buy them. But when she saw the price on the label, she was so scared that she didn't buy any of them.

The cheapest one costs about a hundred yuan. With her monthly salary, how can she afford it?

Although she and her husband live a comfortable life with no children and spend their own wages, which is better than many other families, they cannot afford to buy more than 100 clothes. Unlike her cousin, she works in an import and export company and has a high salary. , and extra money. My cousin's husband also owns a company, so a few hundred yuan is nothing. Each of the clothes on my cousin's body costs hundreds of yuan, and Ni Haitang is jealous of her.

Ni Haitang gritted her teeth. She really wanted that sweater. She couldn't knit it herself. Even if she could, she wouldn't want to. The knitted one wouldn't be as fashionable as buying one. If it didn't work, she would go out and buy one and wear it for the rest of her life. She has never worn clothes that cost hundreds of dollars, so buying one is nothing. Women have to be kind to themselves.

After finishing the ideological work, Ni Haitang felt much better and decided to go to Liren Clothing Store to buy a sweater on the weekend. She still had a few hundred yuan in savings at home, so she spent half of the savings to buy one, which was actually nothing.

Chu Qiao went to the vegetable market and bought about ten kilograms of beef. She wanted to make dumplings stuffed with beef to eat in the evening. She also bought some fruits and vegetables and then went home. The birthday cake had to be made when the oven came back.

The ovens in Lucheng were too expensive, costing more than a thousand yuan each. Gu Ye asked Tang Yaozu to go to Hong Kong City and bring them back. It only cost a few hundred yuan. The big brands from the island country were of good quality. Although he didn't like the island country, he could I have to admit that their electrical appliances are really well made.

Many snacks require an oven, and you can also grill fish and chicken wings. Chu Qiao had told Gu Ye a long time ago that Tang Yaozu called yesterday to say that they had arrived and asked Gu Ye to pick it up at his house, just in time to make a birthday cake for his cowardly father. .

After carrying a large piece of beef and a large bag of flour, Chu Qiao went home and made dumplings stuffed with beef and radish for dinner at night, mixed with assorted vermicelli.

Chu Qiao's hands were full of things. When she got home, she started to work. She kneaded the dough, chopped the stuffing, grated the radish into shreds, added some salt to squeeze out the water, and added some pepper water with the beef stuffing. This was Chu Qiao's own idea. This way, the stuffing will be very fresh, add sesame oil and various seasonings, stir in one direction, she mixes a large pot of stuffing, packs more, and has an afternoon.

"Xiao Chu, you are making dumplings again. You are so willing to buy so much beef." A woman came over and said sourly.

Chu Qiao was rolling out dumpling wrappers and smiled when he saw her. There were the banknotes delivered to her door.

"Sister-in-law, you're here just in time. Give me the ten dollars from the last bet. Everyone else has given them, so I'm the only one left."

Chu Qiao skillfully rolled out the dumpling wrappers, making one in three strokes, quickly and neatly. The face of the woman who asked the question suddenly turned dark, and she regretted coming over to chat with her. She couldn't eat what she bought for ten yuan, so why should she give it to her? other people?

"Give it quickly, we all gave it!"

There was no need for Chu Qiao to urge her. The other four women came over to help her. Their money had already been given out, and of course others had to give it to them, otherwise they would not be convinced.

"No wonder Xiao Chu, you buy beef and enjoy the free money."

The woman took out ten dollars with a dark face, put it on the table angrily, and couldn't help but sneer.

Chu Qiao stuffed the money into her pocket, washed her hands again, continued to roll out the dough, and said with a smile: "Eating for free is delicious, as all children know."

The five women looked ugly and felt unhappy. They were reluctant to buy beef. Chu Qiao bought more than ten kilograms of beef, and it was all their money.

"Xiao Chu's phone number belongs to your Section Chief Gu!" someone called from downstairs.

Chu Qiao put down the rolling pin and hurried down. There was a strange man on the phone, "Manager Gu?"

"I am Gu Ye's lover, who are you?" Chu Qiao asked politely.
