Xiang Nan from Daxiang Village dumped the charming son of the richest man and married a 28-year-old single leftover man who only owned three thatched huts.
Everyone waited for her to regret i...
You have mentioned all the colors, and there is no color you like. How can you still buy clothes you like?
She was wearing a blue dress, which suited her skin tone, but people said she was tired of it.
How can you let anyone ride on this damn horse?
"What about gray?" Xiangnan asked.
"It's as old-fashioned as purple. It makes me look like an old lady. I don't like dark colors at all. They're so dark that they make me feel bored."
Yang Xiao pulled his mother and said, "Auntie Min is starting to make trouble again. Her problem can happen anywhere."
"She is just like that. I didn't let her come, but she insisted on coming. What can I do? After all, you are under her husband's command."
"Women are such a nuisance. Only our director can stand her."
"If she goes too far, I'll take her away." The county magistrate's wife was a little helpless.
Xiangnan asked with a smile, "It's okay. There are many colors. Pink purple, fruit green, crimson, fluorescent color, lake blue, autumn fragrance color, flushed face, Xiang color, lemon yellow, blue lotus, light green, cobalt blue, titanium blue... Don't you like any of them?"
Xiangnan's little mouth quickly reported a bunch of colors.
Jiang Min was stunned by Xiang Nan's question. She asked curiously, "What colors are these? I've never heard of them. Wouldn't pink and purple and pink and purple be even uglier?"
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Purple alone can be divided into many colors. Madam, please wait while I go to the stationery store.
Brother Yang drove me to the stationery store. Aunt, you guys sit down for a while. I'll be back in ten minutes at most. I have to help Mrs. Jiang find a color she likes today."
I can’t cure you, you pretentious freak!
Yang Xiao drove Xiangnan to the stationery store and said, "Auntie Min has always been very picky. She doesn't like this or that, and won't eat this or that.
It's often very embarrassing, and she doesn't give others face at all. But we can't invite her, and she loves to join in the fun in the crowd...
Don't worry about her, let my mom take her away later."
"Don't worry, I'm going to deal with this hypocritical freak today. Does she really dislike it or is she doing it on purpose?"
"I just really don't like it, but there are so many things she doesn't like that I'll be the one who suffers if I pay attention to her."
"That's fine, as long as she's not causing trouble on purpose. If she is, I'll pour all the paint she doesn't like on her!"
Yang Xiao laughed and said, "Do you really have a solution?"
"She might not like this or that because she's not used to seeing the colors often. There are millions of colors in the world, I don't believe I can't find one she likes."
Xiangnan went to the stationery store and bought some oil paints. There were forty-eight colors, and by mixing the different colors together, you could create more than a hundred colors.
Back in the shop, Xiangnan opened the paint box, squeezed out the paints one by one, and asked Jiang Min to choose: "Madam, please see if there is a color you like."
Jiang Min shook her head: "These are too dark."
Once I rejected it, half of it was rejected. These are too bright and I can’t wear them at my age, so I rejected half of it again.
Xiangnan took a gray and bright pink and squeezed them together to make a lotus root pink. "What do you think of this?"
Jiang Min looked at it for a while and said, "It seems okay. It's not too dark or too bright, but it still has a bit of pink. I don't like pink tones."
Xiangnan took a white and yellow one and squeezed it together to make a pale blue. "What do you think of this one?"
Jiang Min liked blue to begin with, and when she saw this brighter blue, she nodded: "It's okay, but there's no fabric of this color on the market, and you don't have clothes of this color here, so what's the point."
“If I can match the colors, I can dye them. With the dyed fabric, I can make clothes that suit my wife, but this is high-end custom-made, which is very labor-intensive, energy-intensive, and even more brain-intensive.
So it’s very expensive, but if Madam is willing, I can make it for her.”
Jiang Min sighed: "My husband is just a small-time finance director. How can he afford such expensive, high-end custom clothes?"
The county magistrate's wife spoke up: "Xiangnan, just make her one. I'll pay for it. I'll use my dowry to make you clothes."
She wanted to see what excuse Jiang Min could come up with to say that she didn't like him and was being pretentious.
"Okay, Mrs. Jiang, I'll draw a picture for you to choose a dress style. If you don't like it, I can redesign it. Of course, all of this will be included in the cost of high-end custom-made clothes."
The county magistrate's wife gritted her teeth and said, "Just give it to her. I want to see how picky she is."
Jiang Min said sadly: "It's not that I'm picky, it's just that they really don't suit me."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I can satisfy even the pickiest customer, as long as she has enough money."
If you are poor and picky, you are really just a princess with princess syndrome but no princess life.
At noon, Yang Xiao invited us to dinner at a state-owned restaurant, and Xiangnan went along.
After dinner, the county magistrate's wife took Xiangnan's hand and asked, "How much does this high-end custom-made item cost? Is my dowry enough?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. Your dowry won't be needed. Brother Yang can help you pay for it."
"Haha... If it's not too expensive, I'd like to order one too. I like a lot of the colors you just brought out. I like bright colors."
"Okay, come back with me to the store to choose the color, and I'll try to see if I can dye it."
After finishing business with the county magistrate's wife and the others, Xiangnan closed the shop. Today's business was good, he made more than 100 yuan and also received two big orders for high-end customization.
Although she won't need the county magistrate's wife's dowry, Xiangnan will have to spend a lot of time and energy on this high-end customization. She has to earn more money from the hard work.
Xiangnan bought a lot of vegetables and side dishes and brought them back to the countryside, filling two baskets.
On the way, I met Li You, who was delivering cakes, roast duck and bean curd to the county town.
"Sister, why did you come back? I wanted to go to your shop to help you."
"These are women's jobs. You can't help. I'm delivering goods. How many roast ducks have you made?"
"We got twenty roast ducks. They roasted them overnight. My brother-in-law is waiting for you to come back."
"Okay, go and deliver the goods. I'm going home first. If you're in the city late and it's inconvenient to go back to the village, you can go to Chen Xin to get the key and sleep in my storefront. There's a room with a bed on the second floor.
I specially prepared a guest room for you to stay in."
Li You was so moved that he almost cried: "Sister, you are so kind. The county bought a house and still considered me. You are my real sister, no... even closer than my real sister!"
"Stop talking about these useless things. Work hard and make more money. That's the real thing. You should run around more with the tofu skin business. Uncle Zhang said that the accountants of those companies will settle their accounts faster if you deliver the tofu skin."
Many of the accountants in the unit are women. They were attracted by Li You's face and paid the money very quickly.
Uncle Zhang sometimes asks Li You to pay the money directly when he delivers the goods.
"Sister, my aunt said she wants to visit your house. Will you be at home tomorrow?"
"What is your aunt doing at my house?"
