70 Helping Sister Hong See A Doctor

“Sister, you can even bargain like this. Why did she give you such a discount? Does she even earn any profit?” Xia Chen asked in confusion.

At this time, Sister Hong had already gone in to get Xia Wan some clothes, and Xia Chen could not hide his surprise.

Xia Wan smiled mysteriously. “Brother, there are people who are naturally talented at running small businesses. Brother, have you ever heard of small profits but high turnover? for example, one Yuan is not much, but if 100000 people give you one Yuan each, it will be a huge sum of money.

“When it comes to selling clothes, the quality may be very high, but they’re only sold to the rich. The rich don’t lack money, and they prefer the feeling of being unique. But the living conditions of the people here aren’t very good, and if it’s cheap, everyone will be willing to spend. If it’s slightly more expensive, I’m sure they’ll give up.

“Similarly, the quality and designs in my stall beat the rest. This way, everyone will naturally choose something that looks better and is more comfortable to wear when they spend the same amount.”

Xia Chen nodded. Although he didn’t know how to do business, he understood what Xia Wan said.

Xia Wan didn’t teach Xia Chen anything on purpose, but when Xia Chen had questions, she would help him in time. If she could inspire her brother more, he could one day land a big deal himself.

Earning money was secondary. Xia Wan didn’t want her brother to feel inferior because he didn’t get into college and felt he wasn’t capable enough. Doing business to earn could improve the living conditions of the family and, at the same time, help her brother become more confident and charming.

Of course, the most simple point was that an incapable man would find it hard to get a wife no matter how handsome he was.

Meanwhile, Sister Hong quickly brought out the clothes and showed them to Xia Wan one by one. After confirming that there were no quality problems, Xia Wan put all the clothes into the bag and paid Sister Hong simultaneously.

In addition to these styles, Xia Wan also chose some jeans and long-sleeved t-shirts, ten of each.

There were two reasons for choosing 10. First, if the sales weren’t good, it didn’t matter, even if they didn’t sell. Second, even if this design were very popular, it would lose its value if everyone bought the same design at the same place.

Just think about it. Who would like to wear the same clothes as others?

Seeing Xia Wan give the money so readily, Sister Hong was all smiles, feeling that although this little girl looked young, she was very decisive and had good taste.

Xia Wan didn’t hide anything from Sister Hong when choosing her pick. She even took the initiative to tell Sister Hong which ones looked better, and she agreed to all the suggestions in the end.

Just as Xia Wan was about to leave, Sister Hong suddenly started coughing violently.

Xia Wan quickly handed the things in her hands to Xia Chen, then quickly went to Sister Hong and helped her massage her back. At the same time, Xia Wan’s hand was already on Sister Hong’s wrist as she began to take her pulse.

Sister Hong naturally noticed Xia Wan’s movements, but she couldn’t say anything because she was coughing. When she recovered, her eyes were still teary. She looked at Xia Wan in surprise and asked, “Are you checking my pulse?”

Xia Wan nodded. “My grandfather is a village doctor, so I have medical skills as well. Sister Hong, you must have eaten something wrong. What have you been eating for the past two days?”

Sister Hong’s face immediately showed some doubt, but she turned serious and thought, “I haven’t eaten anything unusual recently. It’s the same as before.”

All of a sudden, Sister Hong’s eyes widened. “I remember now. Two days ago, my father-in-law heard from a master outside that he had ginseng that could prolong one’s life. My father-in-law had some money and was easily fooled, so he bought a lot. Now, we add this to our porridge every day.

“I don’t think it’s effective, but my father-in-law said he felt much better after eating it. He even slept longer.

“I’ve been feeling nauseated for the past two days. My husband thought I was pregnant again and even took me to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor, however, said that I wasn’t pregnant and that it was my appetite that might have been bad recently. He prescribed me some medicine to ease my stomach.”
