Chapter 728: She Made a Living for Herself

Due to her sales technique, she had a lot of return customers.

Not long later, a middle-aged woman came along. She looked like she was in her fifties and seemed very elated. She beamed widely and looked like she was walking on air.

He Xiyan noticed that the middle-aged woman had bought pig trotters, striped ba.s.s, mutton… all this food was not cheap.

This middle-aged woman would typically only purchase some meat and vegetables when she came round.

“Boss, how many eggs laid by local chickens have you got left?” the middle-aged lady said loudly as she approached her stall, as though she was afraid that He Xiyan couldn’t hear her.

“How many would you like?” He Xiyan naturally answered with a smile as she greeted her customer.

She recognized this middle-aged woman. This woman would always spend a lot of time bargaining each time she came.

“How many have you got?” the middle-aged woman said confidently, as though she planned to wipe out whatever stock He Xiyan had.

He Xiyan crouched down and opened the box that contained the chicken eggs. She counted them all and calculated that there were 60 eggs in the box and 40 eggs displayed on her stall, so there were 100 eggs in total.

“I have a hundred,” He Xiyan said as she looked at her regular customer. She didn’t think that her customer would buy that many eggs.

However, she was wrong this time.

“Wrap them up for me. I’ll send my son to collect them from you later. That is a total of $180, right?” she said as she handed over $180 in cash to He Xiyan immediately.

He Xiyan was stunned. She didn’t understand what was wrong with this middle-aged woman today. Why was she buying so many eggs without even bargaining? This middle-aged woman would typically haggle over a few cents.

“Ha ha…” the middle-aged woman said with a smile. “My daughter-in-law is pregnant. I’m buying these eggs for her to eat them as nourishment. I’ve purchased these type of eggs from several stores and many of them were fake, or had mixed in other kinds of eggs. Your stall is the most credible store I’ve seen and after I’ve cracked the eggs I had bought from your stall, I’ve noticed that the yolks are perfectly red. I used to rear chickens so I can tell immediately whether these eggs are authentic eggs laid by local chickens or not.”

Realization dawned on He Xiyan.

No wonder this middle-aged woman had suddenly become so generous.

She continued to serve a steady stream of customers and ended up selling most of her stock.

He Xiyan placed her remaining stock into the storage shed and locked it up securely, then tidied up her stall and swept the floors at around 10 AM.

She didn’t have much stock left and most of her customers tended to visit the market early in the day. There weren’t that many customers in the afternoon, so she would only open up her stall for a few hours in the afternoon.

She had other matters to attend to in the afternoon. She would have to go to an art school to teach at 2:30 PM and this was a job that she had recently landed after interviewing at the school in September. Her main responsibility was to teach children how to draw.

She taught the beginners sketching cla.s.ses and could end $200 per cla.s.s. Since she taught two cla.s.ses every day from Tuesday to Sunday, she would earn $2,400 a week and $9,000 a month.

If she were to include her earnings from her stall, she would have earned more than $20,000 this month.

After she cleaned up her stall, she returned to the residential building.

This was a resettlement area for residents whose previous living quarters had been marked for demolition. The environment was not that great and it was rumored that there were many telemarketers around the area but this was not something that she cared about. They didn’t have much money and had to keep money aside to buy a house, so they couldn’t afford to rent a good place.

They had rented a two bedroom apartment on the third floor. It was only around 70 square meters. The apartment wasn’t big but it didn’t matter since it was big enough for both of them.

There was a fridge, air-conditioning, was.h.i.+ng machines, heating facilities, and other basic electronics. These amenities were not new but it was they were enough.
