The era, countryside, raising children, starting a business and getting rich, family trivialities.
Jiang Yu transmigrated into a novel and became the biological mother of two children. Her ho...
"The Sui Sui Nian Nian Clothing Store? You mean the newly opened one? Don't you know that she and the owner of Xiao Mei Clothing Store are having a competition to see who can make clothes best in the second-floor lobby? They've probably already started. Why don't you go check it out?"
The staff member looked the man up and down, and upon seeing his handsome face, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"This face is going to charm countless young girls."
Shen Ying followed the directions of the staff and soon saw a bustling crowd. Because of his height, he spotted the woman from a distance.
At this moment, Jiang Yu was seriously sewing the clothes in her hands, looking extremely focused, which made him feel attracted to her again.
Shen Ying walked through the crowd, stopped beside her, placed the sewing machine on the ground, and remained silent.
A commotion arose in the crowd, and many women shouted at him:
"That man is so handsome, where did he come from?"
"He was carrying a sewing machine on his shoulder and went to the owner of the Sui Sui Nian Nian clothing store. Could he be the owner's brother?"
"You know what, you really have to admit, these two really do look like a married couple."
Liu Cui was the first to notice Shen Ying. It was the first time she had seen such a handsome man, and she instinctively took two steps back to give him space.
What brings you here?
Jiang Yu was busy with her work when she noticed Liu Cui moving around. She couldn't help but look up and saw the man's familiar face.
Shen Ying had already placed the sewing machine on the ground; it was a Butterfly brand that he had brought home from Shen Daniu. Unlike the other one, this one was brand new and still in its packaging.
Jiang Yu blushed as she recalled how she couldn't help but say last night that this brand of sewing machine was really good. She secretly glanced at the man who was installing it.
It's unbelievable how good this person's memory is; little did they know that he could remember even a casual remark she made.
The Wang sisters, Meili and Wang Mei, were still arguing nearby. Hearing voices from next door, they looked over and saw a tall, handsome man squatting next to a woman, installing a sewing machine, seemingly lost in thought.
Wang Li was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Let her use whatever color fabric she wanted; after all, losing the competition wouldn't have anything to do with her.
Dropping the piece of black fabric she was clutching, she tossed her hair and walked over with what she thought was a cool air, asking Shen Ying:
"Hey, tell me, which sewing machine store do you work for? How much is this sewing machine you're holding? Can you come and install it?"
Wang Li mistakenly thought the man was a deliveryman from the sewing machine shop and couldn't resist striking up a conversation with him, completely ignoring Jiang Yu standing to the side.
Shen was used to this kind of thing; he didn't even look at the other person, his hands still busy with their work.
Seeing the man's aloofness, Wang Li's earlier frivolity vanished. She stood opposite Shen Ying, leaned down to look at him, and smiled:
"Comrade, I'm talking to you."
Jiang Yu had never seen such a bold woman before, and she admired her from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the large crowd, she would have liked to applaud and watch the show.
They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and she wanted to see how thin that veil was.
Shen Ying was annoyed by Wang Li's questions. He stood up, looking at the woman with an icy aura. Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly saw Jiang Yu watching the scene as if she were watching a show, and he became furious.
This woman is really something. She came all the way here to deliver the sewing machine, and at such a crucial time. Not only is she not grateful, but she can't even help solve this kind of trouble?
For a moment, he really wanted to rush up to the woman, crack open her head, and see what was inside.
"What, are you a relative of hers? You have to watch her expression to answer me?"
Wang Li was about to make a move to flirt with him, but was immediately deterred by the resentment emanating from the man. She hesitated for a long time before finally lowering her hand, uttering the question she had been asking.
"Well... we can't really call them relatives, this is my husband."
Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, Wang Li's anxiety finally subsided. She had already assumed that if the two were just cousins, things would be complicated enough. After all, she had caused a scene at the other man's shop earlier that day. She never expected that this man would actually be her husband...
After that, Wang Li obediently cooperated with Wang Mei in making clothes. During this time, she would occasionally glance at the man, feeling that the relationship between the two was not like that of a husband and wife. However, when the woman said that the man was her husband, the other party did not refute it.
Before long, the clothes were finished. With the sewing machine that Shen Ying had brought, the speed was much faster, and the workmanship became more meticulous.
When Liu Cui changed her clothes at the clothing store, she was stunned by what she saw in the mirror in the fitting room.
The white shirt has a slightly loose fit, and wearing it not only makes you feel comfortable, but also elevates your overall look.
The hazy blue plaid skirt is designed with suspenders, and the loose straps on both shoulders add a playful touch.
A belt in the same color was sewn around her waist, with a square buckle at the front, which made it look more elegant.
After Jiang Yu waited for her to change her clothes, she found two hair ties in the store and braided two pigtails. When she came out, she gave people a refreshing feeling.
If it weren't for her black-rimmed glasses and cloth shoes, everyone would have doubted that this was a different person altogether.
The people coming out of Xiao Mei's clothing store seemed somewhat less impressive. Wang Li, who was already a bit plump, appeared even more broad-shouldered and thick-waisted in her black tight dress. Moreover, this type of figure is most averse to showing off one's shoulders, but Wang Mei believed that a halter top was the standard for an elegant woman.
Although black is slimming, she didn't cover up the parts that should be covered, nor did she properly show the parts that should be exposed, so the overall look didn't highlight her features.
The onlookers immediately understood and unanimously cast their votes for Jiang Yu. Wang Mei, true to her word, never expected to lose, but looking at the clothes Jiang Yu had made, she couldn't help but admire her.
Many onlookers witnessed Jiang Yu's skills and came to place orders, which Jiang Yu charged at thirty yuan per piece. In her opinion, apart from the design and the good materials, this price was not expensive at all.
Liu Cui clutched the only ten yuan in her hand, looking embarrassed. Seeing the shop was doing brisk business, she secretly stuffed the money into her pocket and hesitated for a long time before walking up to Jiang Yu.
"Comrade, I don't have enough money on me. Can I buy this shirt on credit? If not, I'll take it off and give it back to you."
Wang Mei was right; her family was indeed struggling financially, and she hadn't worn new clothes in years. Besides paying for her mother's medical treatment, the rest of her money had to go towards buying goods and paying rent.
"It's alright. I only managed to get these orders today thanks to your modeling. Consider this dress my reward for helping me. We're all in the department store, so we can help each other out in the future."
