Besides, he had already hired a tailor, so it would seem coy for her to refuse now.

Well, this is, after all, Mr. Qin's kind intention.

She could tell that Old Master Qin had actually been trying to make amends to Huo Xiao.

If she acts too calculating, Huo Xiao will definitely be affected by her attitude, which will make things difficult for him.

After all, she hoped that the father and son could get along well, not that she was there to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Guilan smiled and agreed, "Then thank you, Elder Qin. I'm just benefiting from the children's good fortune."

Old Master Qin quickly said, "Don't be so formal with me. Qingxue has never treated you like an outsider. Besides, you've done so much for Qingxue and Huo Xiao. I don't know how to thank you enough."

Liu Guilan said, "Since we're not being formal, there's no need for any words of gratitude."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Master Qin laughed, "We're all family, there's no need for all this formality."

That was settled.

The tailor came over in the afternoon. She was a woman in her forties or fifties surnamed Liu, with a young male apprentice. Master Liu was wearing a well-fitting dark blue woolen overcoat, always had a smile on her face, and was very good at chatting.

Liu Guilan specially changed into the new clothes her family made and wore them to take her measurements. She didn't want to look shy, but she was still a little nervous when it came time to take her measurements.

Master Liu chatted with her warmly, praising the good material of her clothes, as well as the good workmanship and style, and asking if it was made by an experienced craftsman.

Liu Guilan was a warm and cheerful person. Hearing her say this, she started chatting with her. "This material was bought from our rural supply and marketing cooperative. It can't compare to what you're wearing. It wasn't made by any old craftsman. It was just something my old friends and I discussed and made ourselves."

Master Liu looked on with just the right amount of surprise: "You made this yourself? Your craftsmanship is really good. Look how well the stitches are done."

Liu Guilan was embarrassed by the compliment, so she quickly complimented Master Liu's clothes. The two exchanged compliments and were both very satisfied.

Ye Weiwei also noticed that the clothes Liu was wearing were quite nice, so she asked her to make one for her mother-in-law as well.

Liu Guilan wanted to stop her, but after hearing Master Liu praising Ye Weiwei for being filial, she didn't say anything more. She knew that Weiwei was sincere and didn't want to embarrass her child in front of outsiders.

If this were back in her hometown, she would say whatever came to mind and wouldn't let her child waste money. But now that she's in Kyoto, she can't act or speak according to the rules she had at home.

Besides, Master Liu looks like someone who often makes clothes for various families, so he knows a lot about this. The clothes she wears as a sample are definitely fashionable in Kyoto, and she won't embarrass the children by wearing them.

The whole family ordered nearly twenty sets of clothes at once. Master Liu said it would take a week to finish them. After taking the measurements and ordering the patterns and materials, he hurriedly said goodbye and went back to work.

"Living in Kyoto is really tough; everything is more expensive than back home. Money really doesn't go far here."

The thought that it would take several years of hard work in the countryside to save up the money spent on clothes for the New Year made Liu Guilan couldn't help but feel heartbroken and emotional.

Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, Huo Xiao and I are rich, we don't need to save money for us. From now on, we will make new clothes for each year."

Liu Guilan said, "I know you have money, but your money didn't fall from the sky. Can't I even feel bad about it? It's one thing to make new clothes every year, but the few sets I made this time are just for going out. They can last for many years."

Such fine clothes are only meant to be worn here; when we go back to our hometown to work in the fields, we'll have to wear our old clothes.

Ye Weiwei knew that her mother-in-law was just reluctant to part with the money she had spent, so she smiled and didn't say anything. She figured she would just prepare everything in advance for her mother-in-law later.

The next day, Ye Weiwei and her family went back to her parents' home.

After learning that his daughter had come to Kyoto, Ye's father had been hoping for her to come home.

He hasn't even met his three little grandchildren yet.

Ye Weiwei and her family arrived at their doorstep in Grandpa Qin's car. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw their neighbor, Aunt Qi, going out to buy groceries.

When Aunt Qi saw Ye Weiwei getting off the bus with the child in her arms, she was stunned for a moment before recognizing her. "Weiwei is back? My goodness! Is that your child? You...you weren't sent to the countryside as an educated youth? Are you married?"

As he spoke, he peered into the car again.

Ye Weiwei smiled and called out, "Yes, we got married last year. This is my third child, Yun Shu."

Aunt Qi was still in a daze, "Third son?"

Is this the child's nickname?

It should be sorted according to the children in the family.

They sound like they have a large family.

As Ye Weiwei watched Huo Xiao and his mother-in-law Liu Guilan get out of the car, she smiled and pointed to the two children in their arms, "These are my boyfriend and my mother-in-law. They are holding my eldest and second eldest children."

Aunt Qi opened her mouth wide enough to swallow a large duck egg.

"You...you gave birth to triplets! Triplets!"

Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Yes. Two sons and one daughter."

Aunt Qi was so surprised she didn't know what to say. "Weiwei, you...you're so capable!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Ye's parents came out and saw Ye Weiwei and the others talking to Aunt Qi. They quickly invited them inside.

Aunt Qi excitedly grabbed Ye's mother's hand and said, "Your Weiwei is really amazing! She gave birth to triplets in one pregnancy! Even more amazing than you were back then! Is her boyfriend really from the countryside? How can there be such a good young man in the countryside? He's so handsome and energetic! And he even has a car!"

This car isn't for just anyone; those without status or position can't even afford to maintain a car wheel.

Mother Ye knew that Aunt Qi was a straightforward person with no ill intentions, and that she had a good relationship with her. She knew that this matter in her family would eventually get out, so she simply chatted with her outside for a few minutes, revealing a little bit about her daughter and son-in-law's situation. Aunt Qi exclaimed in surprise as she listened.

“I’ve always suspected that Ye Wanwan is a wicked person, but I never expected her to actually kill someone! People always say that like begets like. That old woman’s offspring can’t compare to your Ye family’s; their family’s roots are rotten.”

Mother Ye sighed, "Old Ye and I have learned our lesson this time. Those greedy people can never be satisfied. We're getting old now and can't afford to suffer like that anymore."

Thinking of what Ye's mother and her family had gone through, Aunt Qi patted her hand and said, "It's all in the past! Your family survived a great calamity, so you're bound to have good fortune in the future. Don't worry, we've been neighbors for many years, everyone knows what kind of people you and Old Ye are."

Mother Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll take your good wishes."
