"You can stay here as long as you want, even until the end of time!" Su Lan joked.
Lu Zhixia laughed and retorted, "Then I won't pay!"
"No need to pay. Starting next month, you don't need to pay me rent. That's my decision!" Su Lan said, patting her chest. "We're sisters now. Even if you paid me rent, I'd feel awkward accepting it!"
Lu Zhixia smiled happily. When she first came here to rent a house, she never expected to get along so well with Su Lan, and that they had become like sisters.
She feels truly happy here. Although she doesn't live in a big house and things keep happening one after another, she feels that there is hope for the future.
"While I'm gone, make all these fabrics into finished products according to our plan, and when I come back, we'll sell them together."
"Okay, I'll get everyone to help me with it, and then I'll give them some money for their labor."
"Yes, we just need to focus on low profit margins and high sales volume."
"I've got it! We can make underwear too."
"What is that?"
Once the conversation started, they began discussing the styles, one after another, and ended up ordering a few more styles.

Gu Lingxiao drove to the old building. Before leaving the dormitory, he specifically instructed them that no one was allowed to enter his dormitory, not even leaders.
Those rascals may talk a little carelessly, but they're quite reliable when it comes to doing things, and he trusts them about that.
As for the location where the items were hidden, he figured that even if someone went in, no one would touch the boxes.
Gu Lingxiao carried the fruit he bought upstairs. He usually comes at the beginning of the month, and it has been less than ten days since his last visit.
Ma Suzhen closed the door and was about to go downstairs when she heard a sound. She craned her neck to look down and saw Gu Lingxiao. She decisively turned around, opened the door, and went inside.
I almost tripped and fell because I was in such a hurry. After entering the house, I first took off the apron from the child, then took the mop from his hand, wiped his face with the apron, checked carefully to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then whispered in his ear...
"You little brat, when your dad comes up here, don't you dare say anything out of line!"
Gu Huailin's eyes lit up when he heard that his father had arrived. He was so happy that he didn't react for a moment.
Gu Lingxiao took out his key to open the door. After entering the house, he saw Gu Huailin sitting on the sofa, and then he saw Ma Suzhen coming out of the kitchen, holding a cup of milk in her hand, with a big smile on her face.
"Brother, what brings you back?" Ma Suzhen said, feigning surprise. "Didn't you tell me you could only come back at the beginning of the month? I haven't prepared anything. Have you eaten breakfast yet? Here's some milk, have a sip!"
"No need, I just came to check on things." Gu Lingxiao sat down on the sofa, watching Gu Huailin blink his small eyes and stare at him.
"Why don't you recognize your dad after just a few days?"
"Dad, why are you back today?"
"I'm going on a long trip, so I took some time to come and see you."
"I see. So how long will your mission take this time?"
"A few days." Gu Lingxiao didn't know the exact time either. He raised his hand and touched his son's head. Although he was thin and small, he really looked like his comrade-in-arms.
He's a miniature version of his comrade-in-arms; you can imagine what he'll look like when he grows up.
"Little Linzi, how about Daddy introduces you to your new mom when he comes back this time?"
"Mom?" Gu Huailin called out.
“Yes, she’s a very nice person, you’ll definitely like her.” Gu Lingxiao tried to make his son understand that he would have a mother.
I remember when Gu Huailin was just learning to speak, he often called the nanny "Mom". But after the old nanny left, he never called her that again.
Standing to the side, Ma Suzhen became anxious, "Young man, you're getting married? This won't do, the child is still so young! Do you even know her? Will that woman treat the child well?"
After uttering three questions in a row, Gu Lingxiao looked up at Ma Suzhen and said in a serious tone,
“I know her very well. You should take good care of Xiaolin during this time. That’s your responsibility.”
"But I'm saying all this for your own good. They say having a stepmother means having a stepfather, why can't you control yourself!" Ma Suzhen began to nag and berate her.
"If you ask me, it's not too late for your child to get married when they're a bit older. Men can still have children even if they marry late. You can just find someone younger and live your life however you like—"
Gu Lingxiao interrupted her, "I'll say it again, my affairs are none of your business. You've overstepped your bounds with these words!"
Ma Suzhen knew that angering people would not do any good, so she simply went back to her room. Anyway, as long as she taught the little brat a lesson, she could teach that woman a lesson later!
She refused to believe she couldn't break them up; with that thought, she felt much better. In any case, she was determined to be the mistress of this house.
Who cares who they are, nobody's going to be in charge!
