Miss in the 60s: Lying Flat and Winning After a Blind Date with a Military Officer

In her previous life, Feng Mingshu was a young lady raised in a wealthy family. She was sweet, charming, and gentle, secretly coveted by many who regarded her as their "white moonlight." Un...

Chapter 76 Tailoring a Suit for Zhou Jinshan

For his son, no amount of pride is too much to bear.

Wang Sujuan had mentally prepared herself and was about to speak when Zhou Jinshan glanced at her, so she had to hold back.

"Aunt Wang, I ordered braised pork and shredded pork with garlic sauce..."

Chu Xuanxuan happily came over to announce the menu, but before she could finish, Wang Sujuan impatiently interrupted, "Why order so much? Cancel it, and just order two vegetarian dishes and two bowls of rice."

Chu Xuanxuan was dumbfounded, especially when she saw the two delicious-looking meat dishes on the next table. She swallowed hard and said, "Aunt Wang, I've already paid with the money and the fare, so I can't get a refund."

"You can't cancel the order right after you ordered? Do you think I've never been to this restaurant before?" Wang Sujuan looked at Chu Xuanxuan with a sneer, as if she were looking at a poor relative from the countryside who had come to the city to beg for money.

Chu Xuanxuan almost stormed off. Couldn't she just eat vegetarian food at home?

But thinking that the woman in front of her who looked down on her was her future mother-in-law, Chu Xuanxuan decided to endure it and forced a smile, saying, "I haven't been to the restaurant often enough. I'll go ask."

Chu Xuanxuan went to the front desk with a forced smile, and after much pleading, she returned the meat dishes and replaced them with two vegetarian dishes, only to be met with several eye-rolls from the waiter.

Chu Xuanxuan told herself not to get angry, that in a dozen years the tables would turn and it would be her turn to be the one getting the waiter's dirty looks.

Unfortunately, all her mental preparation crumbled when she carried two vegetarian dishes back to the table, only to see two more meat dishes added to the table next to her.

Wang Sujuan glanced at her: "Who are you giving me that attitude for? If you don't want to eat, then leave."

What right does she have to leave?

Chu Xuanxuan plopped down and started gnawing on vegetable leaves while smelling the meat from next door, but she couldn't really eat.

Wang Sujuan also found the food tasteless, her eyes fixed on the next table. As soon as they finished eating, she immediately put down her chopsticks and spoke her carefully chosen words: "Student Feng, I have something I want to talk to you about. Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Seeing Wang Sujuan drop her airs and take the initiative to talk to Feng Mingshu, Chu Xuanxuan lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said, "Aunt Wang, if you have something to say, tell me. Why are you looking for my cousin?"

Wang Sujuan glanced coldly at Chu Xuanxuan, who had interrupted, and said, "You've already eaten. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back now."

Chu Xuanxuan's eyes widened. Are mothers-in-law so difficult to serve these days?

She's about to turn on me, and she really is!

Feng Mingshu looked at Chu Xuanxuan's colorful expressions and admired her good temper, but he didn't intend to get involved.

"I don't have time. You'll have to figure this out yourselves."

After Feng Mingshu finished speaking, he helped Master Qin walk out.

Wang Sujuan tried to pull her away, but Zhou Jinshan blocked her way.

Wang Sujuan hesitated for a moment and did not chase after her, but her attitude towards Chu Xuanxuan became even worse: "I originally thought you could help me persuade my son to come back, but you are more trouble than you're worth. Don't come looking for me again."

Chu Xuanxuan laughed in anger: "Aunt Wang, aren't you going too far? You made your son so angry that he ran away from home, and I ran errands for you to persuade him, making four or five trips back and forth, and I didn't get any reward at all. I was even ordered around and scolded by you. If I were your son, I would have run away from home too!"

"What, what did you say?" Wang Sujuan's hands trembled with anger.

"I won't repeat myself. I'm not serving you today!" Chu Xuanxuan turned and left.

Transmigrated into a book is here to enjoy love and a wonderful life, not to suffer the wrath of a mother-in-law!

She had misunderstood before. Zhang Yunxiao disliked his mother so much that her approach of running errands for his mother to persuade people was completely wrong. She needed to take a different path!

Chu Xuanxuan turned her head and stared at Feng Mingshu crossing the road, scrutinizing her hairstyle, clothing, and every move she made, her eyes gleaming.

The gazes behind her displeased Feng Mingshu. After crossing the road, she turned around and met Chu Xuanxuan's eyes. The latter waved at her and walked away arrogantly with her chin held high.

Feng Mingshu: "..."

This person who had this strange encounter is indeed a peculiar individual; it's best to avoid getting involved with them in the future.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jinshan stopped and asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Feng Mingshu said dismissively. After a pause, she looked at Zhou Jinshan and said, "It's so boring for you to stay with me like this. Go home and rest."

“I’m not bored, I brought a dictionary.” Zhou Jinshan pulled a familiar-looking dictionary out of his coat pocket.

It was the book that Feng Mingshu had given him before their marriage.

Unable to get rid of him, Feng Mingshu could only let him be.

In the afternoon, when Master Qin instructed her to work on men's shirts, she hesitated for a moment and then called Zhou Jinshan to take her measurements.

Zhou Jinshan cooperated by taking off his clothes, quickly stripping down to just a white vest, revealing his strong, well-defined muscles and narrow waist.

Although he hadn't taken off his pants, Feng Mingshu immediately recalled the scene from last night when he walked towards her shirtless with his long legs. Her face flushed instantly, and she looked away, saying, "I didn't tell you to take your clothes off so completely. Put your shirt on quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

“You won’t be able to measure accurately if you wear a shirt. If you measure quickly, I shouldn’t be cold.” Zhou Jinshan’s tone was tinged with amusement.

"...Then you should just stay cold."

Despite saying that, Feng Mingshu didn't delay, because her master was still waiting on the side.

She picked up a measuring tape and first measured Zhou Jinshan's shoulders, then his arms, torso, and finally his waist. She had to get close to the man.

The measuring tape was tied around his waist. Feng Mingshu looked down at the measurement, but could feel the heat emanating from the man's body, as well as the bulging and undulating muscles of his waist and abdomen.

She quickly jotted down the measurements, pulled out a measuring tape, and said, "Alright, hurry up and get dressed." Then she turned around, wrote it down in her notebook, and handed it to her master for review.

Zhou Jinshan glanced at the girl's flushed ears, a smile playing on his lips. He picked up his shirt and slowly put it on, the rustling sound of the fabric adding to the warmth of the room.

Feng Mingshu, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and glared at him.

Master Qin was old and didn't notice the ambiguous atmosphere between the young men. He took the notebook, put on his glasses, and examined it carefully, nodding occasionally. Then he began to give his young apprentice pointers on the key points of men's shirts.

Feng Mingshu quickly composed himself.

When it came to tailoring, things got a bit tricky because the fabric she brought wasn't suitable for men's shirts. She couldn't very well make a colorful shirt out of fabric taken from a dress, could she?

“I’m too old to need new clothes, so I’ll give you this piece of fabric.”

Master Qin opened the drawer, took out a piece of white cloth, and handed it to her.

“Master, how can I use your fabric? I’ll go buy some later…”

"Take it, time waits for no one." Master Qin's voice was somewhat stern.

Feng Mingshu couldn't refuse any longer, so she accepted the gift and thanked her master.

After this incident, when she was leaving get off work, she saw Wang Sujuan waiting outside the store. She hesitated for a moment, but was stopped in front of her by the other woman.
