After several busy days, a small sum of nearly a thousand yuan was deposited into Lin Wan’s account.
With her previous savings, she now has over eight thousand yuan. Lin Wan made up her mind to install a telephone. Three thousand yuan is no small amount. Not to mention, it doesn’t include the phone. Considering the future, she wonders how many phones she could install with three thousand yuan.
It seems she must earn money diligently. After two years of saving, it’s just this amount. She hopes to open a clothing factory in the future, and this is not nearly enough.
She decided she’s done with making sweaters. After September, the weather will change, and she needs to think about selling warm clothes.
Here, the best-selling items in winter are cotton coats. Besides these, dog-fur hats and grass-pelt coats sell well too. However, most people now wear cotton jackets and pants made from their home-grown cotton. Those with better conditions add a military coat or mink coat on top.
Lin Wan wants to make mink coats, but she lacks the sources, and the cost is too high. Ordinary people are reluctant to wear them.
Besides these, what she could make are thermal clothes, which everyone here practically needs.
After selling clothes, Hu Lijuan took a day off at home and couldn’t wait to go to Lin Wan’s place the next day to learn knitting sweaters with her.
She had yarn at home. Once taught the basics, the rest was actually easy to learn. Where to split, where to add loops, Lin Wan would remind her.
Hu Lijuan learned quickly, mastering quite a few patterns in just two days.
In four or five days, Hu Lijuan learned to knit sweaters.
Tomorrow, Hu Lijuan will report to the school, and Lin Wan bought a piece of canvas at the mall. She made a luggage bag and a large shoulder bag for her.
The fabric was too thick, so Lin Wan made a simple design, not too complex. The keychain on it was expensive, costing one yuan each.
However, this kind of backpack is sturdy and can last for several years.
Hu Lijuan really loved it.
Lin Wan also thought it was great, so she made two more for herself.
After Hu Lijuan left, Lin Wan’s school also started soon after.
On the first day of school, Teacher Yang returned to teach the drawing class.
Lin Wan let out a big sigh of relief, thinking that there should be no more interactions with Li Liang.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Li had some ambiguous dealings with a student from their school. Many students saw them pulling each other in the secluded grove frequently," Su Ling whispered to her and Yin Peibai after the first class.
Lin Wan raised an eyebrow, thinking this must be Su Ling’s handiwork. Her heart had been restless throughout the holiday, especially wanting to know their fate.
"What happened in the end?"
"Heard the female student was expelled from the school, while Mr. Li has connections and only received a severe reprimand, huh! She really got off easy,"
Looking at Su Ling’s indignant face, Lin Wan and Yin Peibai exchanged a smile.
Understanding that their efforts were not in vain, at least Su Ling saw his true colors. It’s just that Li Liang escaped too lightly.
Ye Qing was expelled from school. Who knows if she returned home....
"By the way, Xiao Wan, that day when you were selling clothes outside our factory, is there any stock left? Only saw you there for a day, and the next day, quite a few people were waiting for you. The loose-fitting clothes looked great, even better than those from Shanghai. The price was cheaper too," Su Ling asked.
"No more, just sold out that batch of fabric," the fabric should still be available in the market, but she doesn’t plan to make another batch.
