"Look, these are the rules."

Xiao Yuqin took out a piece of paper and showed it to Lu Wu.

"No holding during postpartum confinement..."

"Don't interrupt them when they're playing with their toys..."

"I'd rather go hungry than chase after someone to feed me..."

Lu Wu read the rules aloud one by one, and Xia Lan would circle each one to emphasize its importance.

"She has her reasons. As for the children's affairs, let their mother make the decisions."

After reading it, Lu Wu, like Xiao Yuqin, felt that some of the regulations were a bit harsh, but she was a mother of two, and she must have her reasons for doing so.

"Let me tell you, you know what? When I take my two kids out, everyone compliments me."

"Tuantuan has already learned to use chopsticks, and their grandson is still chasing after her to feed her!"

"What I hear them talk about most is that their children are picky eaters, and they have to chase after them every day to feed them. They are so kind and patient, but the children don't appreciate it."

Xiao Yuqin didn't understand at first, until she heard these people talking about their own grandson.

Through this comparison, she realized that each of Xia Lan's seemingly unreasonable requests actually had a very important purpose.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are now over three years old, and she doesn't need to worry about them much. As long as she cooks the food, the two little ones will obediently wash their hands when they smell the aroma of the food, and then hold their own little bowls and spoons to eat by themselves.

Although I used to spill food, I can now finish my meals completely.

He ate it bite by bite, enjoying it so much that it made her happy just watching.

"You know what, now that you put it that way, the contrast is huge."

When Lu Wu heard what Xiao Yuqin said and looked at the two little babies, he also found them quite rare.

He thought it was because the child was naturally well-behaved, but it turns out it was because the rules were set well.

Lu Wu looked at Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who were listening intently as they praised them, and winked at Xiao Yuqin.

"That's right! Although our Tuantuan is a bit mischievous, she's a good girl! She even helps me wash vegetables sometimes!"

Xiao Yuqin noticed it too, and said it deliberately.

When it was time to cook lunch, before Xiao Yuqin could say anything, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan eagerly ran into the kitchen.

"Grandma, we can help."

"Oh my! You're such a precious baby, Grandma!"

Xiao Yuqin smiled.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan washed the clothes with great care, much to Xiao Yuqin's delight.

When Xia Lan and the others returned, Xia Lan told them about it, and Xia Lan was delighted.

Xia Lan has been keeping track of the daily income at the store for the past few days. The hype is gradually dying down, since you can't buy clothes every day.

But Xia Lan was already quite satisfied with this.

This perfect answer sheet made Xiao Guoqiang feel confident and smug every day.

And on this day.

Xia Lan received a call from Chu Xiaolan.

"Lanlan, I miss you so much!"

Chu Xiaolan shouted excitedly on the phone.

"How are you?"

Xia Lan asked with a smile.

"Okay! I just miss you so much!"

Chu Xiaolan said happily to Xia Lan.

"Is there something important that you're calling me?"

Xia Lan asked with a smile.

"Chen Hua needs to talk to you, but he's too ashamed to say it himself, so he asked me to tell you for him! He said there's a traitor in the factory, your design was stolen, and many factories outside are making counterfeit products..."

Chu Xiaolan said slowly.

Xia Lan heard what Chu Xiaolan said; she had thought of this possibility as early as when Old Chu got the counterfeit clothes.

I didn't expect Chen Hua to take so long to find out.

"Just make him guarantee the quality! I've already encountered this before, and the quality of the clothes was far too poor."

After Xia Lan told Chu Xiaolan about Lao Chu's situation, Chu Xiaolan was stunned.

"What? It's already arrived at your destination?"

The next second, Chen Hua snatched the phone, looking on in disbelief.

"certainly."

Xia Lan replied.

"It's my fault... I never expected the factory to secretly sell your design for such a small amount of money."

Chen Hua blamed himself, saying that it was ultimately his fault for not doing things properly.

Now, the clothes on the market are all imitations of those Xia Lan's.

“It’s alright, I expected it. If it weren’t for a big factory like your father’s, they wouldn’t be able to produce that kind of fabric. If the stitching isn’t done well, it would be a defective product.”

Xia Lan's designs even used specific fabrics, only available from Chen Hua's father's factory. She was initially worried, but after learning Chen Hua's identity, she had no more concerns.

“My dad said…this is my dereliction of duty.”

Chen Hua pursed his lips. Although he was very unhappy about being scolded by his father, it was indeed his fault for not keeping a close watch on things, which allowed someone to take advantage of the situation and steal the design.

"These clothes are mine."

Chen Hua's voice came through the phone, and Xia Lan frowned.

"I only ask that you do not terminate our cooperation."

Chen Hua's voice was filled with frustration and pleading.

He had discussed it with his father; Xia Lan's designs were mature and would sell well, so they had to retain such a talent.

This was the first time he had a late-night conversation with his father by candlelight, and it was also the first time he had learned of it.

How dark the real business wars are.

He had only been willful under his father's protection, and had never really come into contact with the deeper aspects of the business world.

It wasn't until this crisis occurred that Chen Hua truly matured.

"I will not terminate my cooperation with you."

Xia Lan smiled when she heard Chen Hua's words.

"As for the counterfeit versions of those clothes, you just need to do as I say, have someone draw a few posters, and put them in conspicuous places."
