Yun Xiaoxiao encouraged her, "Little sister, your salary is not low these days, better than ordinary workers, and even higher than some clerks. Plus, you are attending night school. Once you get your diploma, you can work in the design department of a garment factory. You can’t let the stain of divorce make you feel inferior; we need to be more confident. You are not lacking; nowadays, with a little dress-up, you look very pretty."
Few country girls have self-confidence.
Especially those born into families that favor boys over girls; they particularly lack self-confidence.
Zhao Xinxin was originally the youngest in her family; the team leader had even opened the back door for his niece, allowing her to do light work.
But after she got married and suffered some in her in-laws’ household, and because she didn’t conceive after several years, she did all the dirty and tiring work and even got beaten.
She was even less confident then.
It was only after coming to Capital City that she slowly began to gain some confidence.
That was her sister-in-law who was beautiful.
She remembered when her sister-in-law first came to the countryside, instantly becoming the most beautiful Educated Youth in the compound.
Many young men in the village were eager to try, and in the end, it was Third Brother who married her.
After so many years, sister-in-law was still so beautiful.
After coming to Capital City, following her sister-in-law in learning how to dress up, she was indeed prettier than when she was a girl at home.
But she had self-awareness and didn’t think she was beautiful enough to enchant the male comrades to the point of distraction.
"Sister-in-law, am I really that impressive?"
Still lacking confidence, huh.
Thinking of some girls who were particularly self-confident.
Just like her, who basically never suffered from a young age, the most she did was suffer from studying.
As an adult, because her family had a demolition apartment, her dad retired and her mom had not yet retired; they basically had pensions, and the rental income from their property was transferred into her account. She didn’t claim to be very wealthy, but she also wasn’t short on money.
"How could you not be impressive? You work hard to learn to read; you attend night school and do well on your finals. Besides, you are still young, and you have a long road ahead. One day you could become a master of fashion design and even start your own famous clothing brand. You’ll be able to buy houses and cars."
A master of fashion design?
And be able to buy houses and cars?
"Sister-in-law, this..."
"Do you think it’s impossible? We can set a small goal first, like graduating from night school and becoming a fashion designer. We can take other things slowly, and feel free to dream a little bigger."
Dream a little bigger?
She didn’t dare to dream.
Zhao Xinxin was very curious about what her sister-in-law’s small goal was.
"Sister-in-law, what’s your small goal?"
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "My small goal is to earn a million."
And that’s a small goal?
Zhao Xinxin gasped, barely believing as she looked towards Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Do you think it’s impossible?"
Zhao Xinxin wanted to say it was impossible.
But then she remembered, her sister-in-law’s jewelry store was doing well; her sister-in-law was already a millionaire.
Not to mention the garment factory and two clothing stores, it seemed possible to achieve.
"Nowadays, things are developing very rapidly; a million is just a small goal. Maybe I will earn ten million, a hundred million, or even more in the future."
"Sometimes we can set our big goals far away, and who knows, maybe one day they will be achieved? Nobody can say for sure, right?"
Nobody could say for sure.
Previously, she didn’t even dare to dream that she could find a job.
And the salary was not low.
She thought she might spend her life earning work points in the team like her parents, raising children.
But who could have imagined she would be living the life she does now?
It was truly something she didn’t dare to dream of before.
"Sister-in-law, I understand now."
