Free Web NovelChapter 129: Chapter 129: Selling Clothes
"It depends on the thickness of the clothing. A short jacket is about 200 grams, a long coat is about 500 grams, and a down jacket is about 1000 grams."
Wen Ci’s eyes went wide. "If the weight and style are different, how can they all sell for five yuan?"
Xu Jinghe explained, "Normally, clothes are sold by the piece. When buying by the batch, short-sleeved shirts definitely won’t cost five yuan, and jackets will definitely be more than five yuan.
But overall, it more or less evens out, so the cost is calculated based on an average price."
Wen Ci understood after Xu Jinghe’s explanation.
"So, we leave tomorrow?"
Xu Jinghe smiled. ’In business, decisiveness is key.’ They had been talking for less than ten minutes, and she was already suggesting they leave tomorrow to look at the merchandise.
"Alright. After we see Jingyuan tomorrow morning, we’ll leave in the afternoon."
Although Xiao Chuan couldn’t understand the conversation between his uncle and the pretty lady, he understood that she was going with them tomorrow.
Wen Yaozu, on the other hand, was secretly thrilled.
’As long as my sister isn’t here, I can do whatever I want in this house!’
HEHEHE!
Wen Yaozu said with a beaming smile, "Sis, why don’t I help you pack your bags right now?! That way, you can leave right after you see Brother-in-law tomorrow."
At his words, Wen Ci’s gaze shifted to Wen Yaozu, who was lounging nonchalantly. Her eyes narrowed as she sneered, "You think your life will be better just because I’m not here?"
"Of course not!"
"I’ll ask Xue Li to keep an eye on you."
’Xue Li also took a month’s leave. Since I won’t be in Beijing, it’s perfect to ask him to keep an eye on things. Plus, it’s a good chance for him to deliver meals to Yu Qing.’
Wen Yaozu was speechless.
That night, Xu Jinghe and Xiao Chuan shared a room.
Wen Yaozu had his own room.
Upstairs in the master bedroom, Wen Ci and Yu Qing shared a room.

「The next day.」
Thanks to her regular routine, Wen Ci woke up before dawn.
Seeing that Yu Qing was still fast asleep, she moved with extreme care as she got out of bed. The bugle from the military base had already sounded. After washing up, she went downstairs.
Wen Yaozu was warming up in the living room. Seeing Wen Ci come down the stairs, he put on a fawning smile. "Sis, how many laps today?"
’Huh.’
’A change of heart?’
’I used to have to drag Wen Yaozu out of bed.’
’But today he’s already up at this hour.’
Wen Ci thought for a moment. "How about we start with twenty-five laps?"
"Deal! Twenty-five laps!"
"No haggling?"
Wen Yaozu shook his head firmly. "Losing weight is a good thing. Why would I bargain over that?"
Wen Ci smiled but said nothing.
But she knew Wen Yaozu was just putting on a show. He was trying to prove how determined he was to lose weight, thinking that once she was gone, he could go back to his carefree life.
Just as Wen Yaozu had finished a few laps, Xu Jinghe and Xiao Chuan woke up.
Wen Ci noticed the curtains upstairs had been pulled open and said, "You keep running. We’re going to the hospital; we’ll be back in a bit."
Wen Yaozu, who had been panting just a moment ago, instantly perked up at her words and made a show of picking up his pace.
The moment Wen Ci left, he immediately sat down in the courtyard pavilion, panting heavily and grumbling to himself, ’This is even worse than being at school.’
’I have to get up at the crack of dawn to run.’
’After my morning nap, I have to study, and she even quizzes me from time to time. The only thing I enjoy here is getting to sit on the sofa and watch TV.’
After a ten-minute break, Wen Yaozu decided to head back to the living room to watch TV. But just as he stood up, he saw a figure in the second-floor bedroom, watching him like a hawk on guard duty.
Her gaze was fixed right on him.
Alarm bells instantly went off in Wen Yaozu’s head. He had forgotten that his sister had a female guest over. The smile on his face froze. He shouted up to the second floor, "I was just taking a short break! I’m going to keep running!"
