Then, Wei Yan began to communicate with Li Hai in detail. She made Li Hai sit down and began to tell her in detail.

“Mom, with your previous method of arranging clothes, some pretty clothes will get covered up. Moreover, although some clothes don’t look good on their own, they will be very fashionable when paired with other clothes. This way, customers can buy more clothes.”

“In addition, our shop is too crowded now. When customers come in, they can only barely pass through. They won’t be able to enjoy the process of shopping at all. Now, the clothing shops in the county sell cheap clothes since they feel that if the prices are low, more people will buy them. Actually, that’s not the case. There are poor people and rich people who buy clothes here. Our shop has to create unique a style and take the high-end route.”

Li Hai was stunned when she heard that and subconsciously asked, “High-end route? Do you mean we should raise our price? Then, who will buy our clothes?”

Wei Yan smiled confidently. “Mom, don’t worry. Leave it to me. If the business isn’t good, we can always lower the price.”

Li Hai nodded since she trusted her daughter. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

The two of them chatted for a long time. When the conversation ended, Li Hai felt like her daughter had taught her a lesson.

Other than Xu Lu’s family and Li Lin, the shop only had two purchases the next day. In total, they only earned 200 yuan, and this was without deducting the cost.

Whenever she was free, Li Hai couldn’t help but think about what Wei Yan had told her and how much Wei Yan had helped her earn today. She had earned 1,500 yuan with just two customers. This was an amount she didn’t even dare to think about in the past. Perhaps this shop could really make a lot of money with her daughter’s help.

The two of them only closed the shop at about eight in the evening. When they returned home, Wei Yan saw that some noodle stalls were about to close, so she stopped and asked the stall owner to make a bowl of noodles for her. She wanted to take it away to eat at home.

After the stall owner went to make noodles, Li Hai couldn’t help but say, “Yanyan, the oil used to make noodles here isn’t clean. If you want to eat noodles, I will make them for you when we get home. There’s no need to buy them here.”

Wei Yan smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t eat it. This is for Dad.”

At the mention of Wei Gang, Li Hai looked conflicted.

“Yanyan, didn’t you want me to divorce him previously? Why are you buying noodles for him now?” Li Hai couldn’t help but ask.

“Because after buying him noodles, he won’t let you cook for him anymore. It’ll save you the trouble,” Wei Yan said matter-of-factly.

When Li Hai heard this, she was touched again.

Her daughter was really kind.

Sure enough, when the two of them returned home, they heard Wei Gang smashing bowls.

“Do you two know what time it is? Do you want me to starve to death?!” Wei Gang glared at the two of them angrily, like he was about to hit them at any moment.

Li Hai’s body couldn’t help but tense up. She had been beaten up by Wei Gang to the point that her body had a stress reaction. Every time Wei Gang got angry, scolding her was light punishment. In the past, Wei Yan had always been in school, so Wei Yan had seen very little of this. Now that Wei Yan was beside her, she felt even more embarrassed.

In front of her daughter, Wei Gang didn’t give her any respect at all.

In Wei Gang’s eyes, her and her daughter’s dignity were not important.

Wei Yan smelled alcohol in the air. It seemed that Wei Gang had gone to drink today.

She knew that now wasn’t the time to fall out, so she took the initiative to bring the noodles in front of Wei Gang and said obediently, “Dad, the boss asked Mom to clean the shop today, so we came back late. However, we were afraid that you wouldn’t have food to eat, so we bought noodles for you on the street. I know that you like noodles the most. Dad, try it.”

As she spoke, she quickly went to the kitchen to get the bowl and chopsticks for Wei Gang.

Seeing Wei Yan’s obedient appearance, Wei Gang snorted and stopped scolding her.

Seeing that Wei Gang was eating with relish, Wei Yan pretended to say as an offhand remark, “Dad, do you still remember Auntie Lin? She went to the shop to buy clothes today. Auntie Lin was dressed very fashionably. She even said that it was all thanks to your help that she could have her current achievements. She even said that she would come to our house in a few days to thank you.”

As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Wei Gang coughed violently.

Wei Yan immediately stroked Wei Gang’s back with a worried expression and asked with concern, “Dad, what’s wrong? Did you eat too quickly? Dad, drink some water.”

She immediately poured a glass of water and put on a guilty look. “It’s all my fault, Dad. I shouldn’t have said this while you were eating.”
