"Yes! You have no idea how much that person liked your dress. At first, I was too embarrassed to mention the price and told him to pay whatever he thought was fair, but he just said twenty!"

When the soldier started talking, he couldn't help but wave his hands excitedly.

Ye Yun touched the dress in her hand, not expecting that it would sell for a higher price than she had anticipated.

"but……"

The soldier spoke again, his hesitant attitude interrupting Ye Yun's thoughts.

Ye Yun smiled, "Brother Bing, what do you want to say?"

"Then I'll just say it directly."

The soldier chuckled, "But girl, that guy seems to have taken a liking to your design. He gave me ten yuan and asked me to tell him who designed the dress, so I gave you away."

The man originally thought the dress was designed by one of his tailors and wanted to hire him.

But he knew his own limitations.

Therefore, when the other party mentioned hiring him, he truthfully admitted that he did not make the dress and implicated Ye Yun.

"Hey girl, don't be angry. How about I share this ten yuan with you?"

As the soldier spoke, he took out a five-yuan note from the small drawer of the sewing machine to give to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated.

"It's alright, you can keep it."

She didn't care about any of that and said, "Brother Bing, please pack up all the clothes I ordered from you before. Let me calculate how much money I still owe you. I have to go back now."

"Oh, it was already wrapped up a long time ago."

Seeing that Ye Yun was so agreeable, the soldier took back the money and quickly brought out the other clothes that Ye Yun had ordered a couple of days ago.

"Girl, I've already received so many benefits from you, so I won't charge you the rest of the money."

"oh?"

"But I need your help with a small favor," the soldier said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

Ye Yun raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It's..." The soldier pointed to the dress in her hand and said with a smile, "It's the person who bought this dress who wants to meet you."

oh?

Ye Yun became interested and asked with a smile, "Brother Bing, why don't you just tell me directly, who exactly bought my dress?"

"Hey, you've finally hit the nail on the head." The soldier slapped his thigh and said mysteriously, "He's the owner of a garment factory in our county! Here, this is the business card he gave me to pass on to you!"

The soldier handed me a thin business card.

—Yang Qinglin.

The person in charge of Qingshan Garment Factory.

A garment factory?

Seeing that she could read, the soldier smiled and explained, "Girl, I reckon Boss Yang wants to hire you to work at their garment factory. I heard the wages there aren't low, especially for designers. He's interested in having me make the connection. If you're interested, how about we schedule a time?"

Ye Yun touched the business card, and an idea gradually formed in her mind.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Bing."

"No trouble at all. So, when are you usually free, young lady?"

"I'm fine with either."

"Okay, then let's set it for next Monday. I'm going back to my hometown this weekend, and when I get back, I'll go to the garment factory myself," the soldier said. He couldn't just take the ten yuan for nothing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun stopped her, saying, "No need, you don't need to make a special trip."

"ah?"

The soldier was puzzled.

He accepted ten yuan from the person, and his conscience wouldn't allow him to leave without making several trips.

"Just listen to me."

Ye Yun smiled.

She has her reasons for doing so.

If the garment factory really wants to hire her, they will come back again.

If the soldier were to personally reply, people who didn't know better would think she desperately needed the job, which would be tantamount to her giving in first, and then she would be at the mercy of others.

The soldier wasn't familiar with these intricacies.

But Ye Yun told him to just wait, so he just waited.

"Brother Bing, I'll be going now. Contact me if you have any news." Ye Yun paid for the clothes for the soldier as usual, then left the clothing store with the clothes in her arms.

The soldier stood at the door, watching Ye Yun disappear from sight.

"Sigh, the world has really changed."

Having been in business for so many years and seen countless people, he could tell from Ye Yun's calm expression just now that this woman was no ordinary person.

...

When Ye Yun returned to the store, Tian Xiaohui was tidying up the things on the counter, and the store was full of students who had just finished school.

The students were quiet and cherished the peaceful environment that made it so suitable for studying.

Of course, there are also those unruly kids. Usually, after they are discovered, they are refunded and kicked out. They will not be allowed to go in again to disturb other students' studies.

"Your sister-in-law is back?"

When Tian Xiaohui saw that she had returned carrying a bag of things, she quickly put down the rag she was holding and went over to take the things from her hands.

Then she quickly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Ye Yun, saying considerately, "Sister-in-law, have some water first."

Ye Yun said thank you.

She was indeed thirsty after walking for so long, and the warm water quickly moistened her mouth.

When she put the bowl down, she saw Tian Xiaohui staring at her expectantly.

Ye Yun immediately sensed something was wrong.

Tian Xiaohui chuckled, "Sister-in-law, when are we going home?"

"go home?"

"Yeah, I haven't been home for so long. I miss my nephew and niece so much. Don't you miss home?" Tian Xiaohui said with a pitiful look.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

Going home... this word was rather foreign to her, as if she had never defined where her home was.

"Sister-in-law, don't you want coal briquettes?" Tian Xiaohui asked, resting her chin on her hand, looking puzzled.

Coal Ball is the dog that Ye Yun bought.

Because it was completely black, like a lump of coal, Tian Xiaohui named it Coal Ball.

Ye Yun smiled and said, "I want to."

"Shall we go back this Saturday?"

"..."

Ye Yun glanced at the students sitting inside studying diligently and thought to herself that there would probably be many students coming on Saturday and Sunday.

"sister in law……"

Tian Xiaohui understood her meaning and shook her arm, acting coquettishly. She had no choice but to give in and say, "Okay, I'll take you home this Saturday."

"Really! That's great!"

Tian Xiaohui was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

Ye Yun instructed, "Then remember to tell the students that we are not open on Saturdays and Sundays, so that they don't make a wasted trip."

"Okay!"

Tian Xiaohui went to do it excitedly.

Soon, Tian Xiaohui's loud voice came from inside the room, saying that the door would not be open this weekend. The students sighed in disappointment.

Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

From their regretful sighs, one could tell that her shop was quite successful.

"Ye Yun! Ye Yun!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice called from outside the door. Ye Yun looked up and saw Gu Jin, who looked excited, and Qin Zheng, who looked rather unhappy, coming together.

For some reason, Gu Jin's expression carried a hint of amusement.

He said as soon as he entered:

"Ye Yun, I have a surprise for you!"
