Her misogynistic mother accepted a high-priced bride price and married her to a man with disabled legs. She was ridiculed for half her life. Facing the婆婆's (mother-in-law's) constant nitpic...
I advise you to pay more attention to it, and it would be best if you could get rid of Zhang Yulian. Keeping her around will be a nuisance sooner or later!" Huang Xiuxiu saw that Ye Lili stopped talking, and knew that her reminder had worked.
Ye Li helped her today, so she was repaying her.
"I'm leaving first, you take a rest."
"good."
Huang Xiuxiu could sense that Ye Li was in a bad mood when he left.
"Mom, stop watching and go home." Ye Li pulled Zhao Xingmei and walked home.
"Let me tell you, I saw Aunt Jiang and your dad talking there just now. You haven't seen Aunt Jiang's expression, she was so shy! She's such a grown-up and she has no shame at all! She will definitely do something to your dad!" Zhao Xingmei thought about Aunt Jiang's pretentious look just now, and goose bumps all over her body.
I thought Ye Li would have a big reaction when hearing these words, but Ye Li didn't say a word.
"Ye Li, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy."
...
...
Only then did Zhao Xingmei realize that Ye Li's face didn't look good.
"I'm fine, just a little tired. Mom, I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while." Ye Li said and went back to his room alone.
"Okay, go ahead! By the way, Ye Li, if you have any clothes to wash, please take them out and I will wash them for you. It's strange, why haven't I seen Yulian during the day recently?" When Zhao Xingmei mentioned washing clothes, she realized that Zhang Yulian hadn't shown up for several days.
"There's nothing to wash. I'm going back to my room." Ye Li couldn't help but frown when he heard his mother-in-law mention Zhang Yulian.
"Go! If you are tired, just sleep a little longer. Carrying two babies by yourself, you are more physically demanding than a normal person. I have to get two old hens to stew for you!" Zhao Xingmei said as she went into the kitchen, took a bag and went out.
As soon as Zhao Xingmei reached the door, she saw Jiang Sui coming back.
"Jiang Sui, why are you here now? The factory is closed today?"
"If you have any questions, go find my sister-in-law. I have a few clothing samples here and I want her to help me make a decision." Jiang Sui patted the drawings in his bag and said.
"Okay, go quickly and have lunch here. I'll make chicken soup for your sister-in-law at noon."
"Okay!"
Jiang Sui arrived at Ye Li's house, found the door was not closed, and went in directly.
"Sister-in-law, why are you lying there?"
When Ye Li heard that Jiang Sui was coming, she stood up and sat up.
"You're here. I haven't seen you for a few days."
Now Ye Li is the only idle person in the factory, while everyone else is working overtime. She was given special treatment and allowed to rest at home because of her pregnancy.
"That's right. I've been very busy lately. The factory is going to produce a new batch of summer clothes, and the village also has to hurry to make sure the work is not interrupted. I've been busy on both ends, and I've been wanting to come see you for a long time, but I just haven't had the time." Jiang Sui said as he took out a stack of drawings from his bag.
"Sister-in-law, take a look at my designs. Let's pick a few and have them made quickly in the village. Long skirts like this are very popular now, and almost everyone wants one. As long as we make them quickly in the village, we can sell as many as we make!" Jiang Sui has always kept up with the fashion trends, and she would be busy every time the season changes.
Ye Li and Jiang Sui were choosing clothes together when suddenly a figure flashed past the door.
Ye Li looked at what seemed to be Zhang Yulian's shadow.
"Sister-in-law, this is the last one. If you agree, I will quickly modify the design details and send it to the village."
Jiang Sui wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Ye Li.
"Don't say anything yet, someone is coming." Ye Li gently covered Jiang Sui's mouth with his hand to make her pause.
"Yulian, are you at the door?" Ye Li asked directly.
"Oh, sister-in-law, it's me!"
Zhang Yulian wanted to continue eavesdropping outside, but was discovered by Ye Li. She glanced around and found a washbasin at her feet, so she immediately picked it up.
"Sister-in-law, my mother asked me to borrow a washbasin from my aunt to wash clothes, and I just happened to pass by your door." Zhang Yulian held the empty basin guiltily and pretended to be at the door.
"Oh, I thought you had something to talk to me about." Ye Li looked at Zhang Yulian's wandering eyes and knew that she must be lying.
Originally Ye Li thought Zhang Yulian would leave, but unexpectedly Zhang Yulian walked in.
"Sister Jiang Sui is back! Don't you have to go to work today? Hey, the skirt in the picture is so pretty! Is this a new design from the factory?"
As Zhang Yulian spoke, her eyes were fixed on the drawings on the table.
When Jiang Sui saw that Zhang Yulian was bold enough to come over to look at the drawings, he immediately gathered the scattered drawings on the table together, rolled them up and put them in his bag.
"Well. These designs are not mature yet. I just discussed them with my sister-in-law." Jiang Sui explained.
"It's so beautiful! Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first." Zhang Yulian praised Jiang Sui's design and left.
"Jiang Sui, please close the door."
"good."
After Jiang Sui closed the door, she sat back in her original seat and looked at Ye Li with some concern.
"Do you think Yulian will tell everyone about this? I didn't expect she has become so curious and even came over to look at the drawings. In the past, she wouldn't come so close to us when she saw us talking about business." Jiang Sui also noticed the recent changes in Zhang Yulian.
"I guess he won't say anything nonsense, but we still have to be careful. Let's try to keep the door closed when we talk about things in the future." Ye Li thought of Huang Xiuxiu's words, and combined with Zhang Yulian's recent performance, an idea had already emerged in her mind.
"Yes! We must be cautious when doing this kind of thing. If we are reported, we will be finished!" Jiang Sui agreed with Ye Li's point of view.
"Let me tell you something. Zhang Yulian found a job as an apprentice in a state-owned barber shop."
"Is it true? Didn't she fail to find a job after searching for a long time? Has her urban household registration problem been solved?" Jiang Sui was very surprised after hearing this.
A while ago, Zhao Ximei also asked her to introduce a job to Zhang Yulian. She found out that there were two good jobs, but Jiang Yulian could not go because she did not have a city household registration.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yulian got a good job for herself.
"I'm not sure. Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Let's quickly finalize the final design." Ye Li didn't want to think about Zhang Yulian anymore.
If there really is something wrong with Zhang Yulian, it will be revealed sooner or later.
After Zhang Yulian came out of Ye Li's room, she put down the washbasin in her hand and left in a hurry.
She had come back today to pick up the hair clippers she had left at home, but she accidentally heard Ye Li and Jiang Sui talking about fashion design, so she listened to a few words.
Unexpectedly, she discovered a new world after hearing this. She finally knew how Ye Li made money.
Just as she was about to leave for the barber shop, a child ran over and blocked Zhang Yulian's way.
"Come with me." A little boy who looked about seven or eight years old said to Zhang Yulian.
"Who are you from? I don't know you. Where are you taking me?"
