Chapter 353 The Virgin Mary
Hao Hao was even more heartbroken when he saw that Gu Yihan still wouldn't release the cute rooster even though he was crying like this.
Tears fell like golden beans, pattering down her face.
Helpless, Gu Yihan whispered, "Haohao, this chicken is too big. It won't be tame. Mom will buy you a smaller one this weekend, okay?"
"No, I only want this one. None of the other chickens are like it. I just like this one."
Hao Hao raised his chubby little hand, wiping away his tears as he cried.
Seeing Hao Hao crying so sadly, Lu Huailin felt extremely sorry for him, so he went over and picked him up, then turned to his wife.
He said, "Wife, how about sparing its life for Hao Hao's sake?"
Gu Yihan looked troubled; this was the first time Hao Hao had cried so bitterly because of something he really liked.
After thinking about it
She looked down at the chicken's round eyes, sighed, and compromised, "If you can find a way to stop it from crowing in the morning, I'll let you keep it."
Upon hearing this, Hao Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly patted Lu Huailin's shoulder, his voice filled with excitement: "Dad, put me down quickly."
Lu Huailin glanced at Hao Hao, said nothing, but silently picked up the shoes from the ground and put them on him.
Hao Hao, having put on his shoes, quickly ran to Gu Yihan and hugged the rooster that had just escaped the butcher's knife.
She drawled out the last syllable, then said in a spoiled tone, "Thank you, Mommy~"
Gu Yihan glared at the rooster expressionlessly, then turned back to the living room and walked to Lu Huailin's side.
He said coldly, "There's chicken poop on our sofa. You'd better clean it up."
After saying that, he put the knife in the kitchen, turned around and went upstairs.
Lu Huailin paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Wife, what do you want to eat this morning? I'll make it for you."
Gu Yihan didn't turn her head and replied, "I'm not eating."
She couldn't eat breakfast at all; everything she ate smelled like chicken poop.
Lu Huailin glanced at Hao Hao, who was interacting with the rooster, sighed, and resignedly tidied the sofa.
"Are you stupid? How dare you provoke the most authoritative person in our family?"
Hao Hao groomed the rooster's feathers while scolding it.
"Coo coo coo".
The rooster seemed to know that it was the human chick in front of it that had saved it, and responded very politely.
...
Service Station
Gu Yihan had just finished her work when Zhang Mei came over and said with a smile, "Xiaohan, Auntie needs a bar of soap and a bag of laundry detergent."
"Auntie, the soap is 36 cents, the laundry detergent is 28 cents, that's 64 cents in total."
"One soap coupon and one laundry detergent coupon."
Zhang Mei smiled and took out some money and put it on the table. She whispered to Gu Yihan, "I'm going to buy some fabric. I'll come back to talk to you about something later."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan smiled slightly and nodded.
"Comrade Yang, give me 16 feet of corduroy."
"Here it comes."
Yang Yue deftly measured and cut, then glanced at Zhang Mei.
I thought she was buying fabric to make clothes for her daughter-in-law, and I felt a pang of envy.
He chuckled and said, "Auntie, clothes made of corduroy look so stylish."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei smiled slightly and said, "I'm getting old, nothing looks good on me anymore."
"You young people are no match for us. Even if you're wearing a rag, you still look like a flower bud."
Gu Yihan: "..."
Yang Yue: "..."
After Zhang Mei finished shopping, she returned to Gu Yihan's boutique.
With excitement on her face, she said, "Xiao Han, do you know what? Fu Ling gave me 30 yuan this month."
Really?
Zhang Mei nodded excitedly. She had long wanted to share her joy with Gu Yihan, but unfortunately, she hadn't had the time.
Congratulations, Auntie!
Gu Yihan admired Zhang Mei for breaking free from constraints and boldly drawing clothing that did not conform to contemporary aesthetics.
"By the way, Xiaohan, I wanted to ask you, does Director Fu accept other people's artwork?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan frowned slightly and said in a flat tone, "Auntie, I can't make a decision for Director Fu."
Seeing Gu Yihan's expression turn cold, Zhang Mei panicked, realizing that she had crossed a line with her words.
She hurriedly explained, "Xiao Han, don't overthink it. Auntie was just asking, she didn't mean anything by it."
Gu Yihan was silent for a moment, then hummed in agreement.
She said, "Auntie, my Hao Hao and your Hu Zi are about the same age, so they can play together."
"Hey, Tiger likes to play with Hao Hao."
Gu Yihan raised her eyes and gave Zhang Mei a deep look.
“Auntie, our two families have a good relationship. I just happened to see that you have a talent for design, and I couldn’t bear to let your talent go to waste.”
"That's why I recommended you to Director Fu when she came."
Having said that, Gu Yihan believed that Zhang Mei could understand the meaning behind her words.
Yang Yue looked at Gu Yihan with surprise, though she didn't know exactly what the two of them were talking about.
But that doesn't stop her from letting her thoughts wander and daydream.
She sensed that Zhang Mei had asked Gu Yihan for a favor but had been rejected.
Zhang Mei's face showed not a trace of dissatisfaction.
She waved her hand with a smile and said, "Xiao Han, don't worry, as long as you don't give in, I won't take any responsibility on you."
She's not stupid; she understands the principle of making a fortune quietly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan smiled.
She is rather selfish
She doesn't want too many people to get to know Fu Ling through her channels.
After all, the market is only so big.
As more people get to know Fu Ling, it's inevitable that there will be others like Zhang Mei who have a bold and innovative style.
With more people around, dealing with Ling becomes less important.
Besides, how could Gu Yihan let others climb over her shoulders to get ahead? She's not the Virgin Mary.
Zhang Mei chatted with Gu Yihan for a while before leaving.
At the entrance of the courtyard
"Sister Zhang, what's your decision?"
Zhang Mei looked up at Bai Yun walking towards her, smiled, and refused, "Sister-in-law, it's not up to me to decide."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yun's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled again and said, "Sister-in-law, as you know, my family used to be quite well-off."
"I've been learning to draw since I was a child, and I even studied with a famous painter for a few years, so the clothes I design are definitely not bad."
"If you can help me, I can give you a cut."
She adopted a very humble attitude, thinking that Zhang Mei would not refuse a free benefit.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mei's lips twitched involuntarily.
“Sister-in-law, no matter how much commission you give me, it’s all for nothing if the garment factory doesn’t agree.”
After saying that, she felt glad that she had been careful not to reveal that Gu Yihan knew Fu Ling.
Bai Yun stood quietly in the alley, watching Zhang Mei leave.
She suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth. If it weren't for Gao Guoqiang's sudden desire to bring his ex-wife's youngest son over, she would have been fine.
She wouldn't be in such a hurry to find a way out for herself.
