Chapter 97 Stunned
"Mrs. Chen, you know I'm not one to fight or compete. But your daughter-in-law... you really should take charge."
Mother Zhou held Grandma Chen's hand with a look of pity on her face. How could she not understand Grandma Chen's suffering?
His eldest son's wife is also a troublesome person. "As long as she stops making trouble, Wangshu and I will not take the initiative to find fault with her. As for the garment factory...we have no say in it."
"She caused this herself, so why would she ask you for help? You're wronging your wife."
The two old people exchanged a few words of emotion before Ye Wangshu took Zhou's mother away.
Mrs. Song, who had left the Chen family early on, explained the whole cause and effect clearly to the onlookers.
After Ye Wangshu and Zhou's mother came out, Mrs. Song said goodbye to them.
"Miss Ye, I'll ask you to put on my makeup after I confirm the time to go back to my parents' home."
"Then I'll wait for good news from Madam Song."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Wangshu and Zhou's mother turned around and went home.
As soon as they entered the house, Zhou's mother looked at Ye Wangshu with a distressed look on her face, "Wangshu, did you lose a lot of money on those cosmetics?"
Ye Wangshu felt that Zhou's mother was in a low mood early in the morning, but he didn't know why.
After she asked this question, Ye Wangshu realized that she was worried about him.
"Don't worry, Mom. I still have a lot of stock. I won't lose much money on the broken ones, and I can make back the rest."
Zhou's mother nodded and said nothing more, but she felt in her heart that Ye Wangshu was trying to be strong because he didn't want to make her worry.
Ye Wangshu naturally discovered this, but she couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so she had to take Zhou's mother's worries into consideration.
"Mom, my pants are too small. Can you alter them for me?" Zhou Xiaohong came to her mother with a few pairs of pants, her eyes full of helplessness.
The weather was getting colder and colder. She could wear her pants, but they were too tight.
"Okay, what do you want me to do with the pants?"
"They should be loose. You need to wear cotton pants in winter! And they should look nice. You can't tell at a glance that they are made from old pants."
"What's wrong with modifying old pants? You little girl, you love beauty more and more as you grow older."
Zhou's mother scolded him and then started to take action.
When Ye Wangshu heard the noise, he went over to see.
She watched a tailoring show in amazement and was instantly impressed by Zhou's mother's skills.
After these old pants were modified, they not only have a new style, but you can't tell at all that they were made from old pants.
"Mom, your craftsmanship is amazing! If you become a fashion designer, you'll be world-famous."
"Why are you talking so exaggeratedly, kid?" Mother Zhou handed the pants to Zhou Xiaohong and looked at Ye Wangshu helplessly. "Why did you come here? Have you finished developing the cosmetics?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have seen your amazing tailoring show! As for the cosmetics... they can't be rushed, they need to sit for a while."
Ye Wangshu lowered his eyes and looked at the pants in Zhou's mother's hand, and suddenly a thread appeared in his mind.
Seeing that Zhou's mother was busy for a long time, Ye Wangshu finally grasped the clue.
"Mom, have you been worried these days?"
Ye Wangshu said this so suddenly that Zhou's mother was stunned.
After a while, Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Xiaohong, let out a breath, and nodded slowly.
"Wangshu, why are you talking about this suddenly?"
Before Ye Wangshu could answer, Zhou's mother spoke again, "You spent so much time running around looking for a place for your little sister to learn hairdressing. Then she suddenly said she wanted to go to school, and not only did you not complain, you even helped her find a school. I..."
"As your mother, I haven't done anything. A while ago, a lot of your cosmetics were ruined because of the gossip of the Chen family's daughter-in-law. I can't help but feel a little worried, but I can't make any money with my old arms and legs..."
"Mom, it's really nothing. Although Mrs. Song and Boss Song had a fight because of what Mrs. Chen said, it was Boss Song who started it after all. When I was doing Mrs. Song's makeup two days ago, she paid the money back."
Ye Wangshu secretly regretted that he had not told Zhou's mother about this matter at the first time, causing her to worry about it for so long.
"Mom, you can make money at home if you want! I just saw how good you are at sewing, and suddenly I remembered that Madam Song said she wanted to collect silk. How about you raise silkworms at home?"
"Raising silkworms?" Mother Zhou frowned slightly. "I've never done this before. I don't know if I can do it well."
"Raising silkworms isn't difficult, you just need to be careful. I'll get you some silkworms, and even if they don't work out, we won't lose out!"
There happened to be silkworms and a guide to raising silkworms in Ye Wangshu’s space supermarket.
Given how meticulous Zhou's mother was, Ye Wangshu believed she could do it.
After thinking it over again and again, Zhou's mother agreed.
"Sister-in-law, what about me? I also want to make money, although I know I should study hard now. But... I don't want to be a millet bug who eats and waits to die."
Zhou Xiaohong had been thinking about Ye Wangshu's words, and had been studying hard these days, doing less work.
She just found out that her mother has been upset because of her!
"How about you help out in the store? I'll pay you a salary so you can help support the family. But... you can't just focus on work and neglect your studies."
The decoration of the store is almost finished, and now I just go there to clean and put some small items in place.
It is not too difficult for my younger sister. As long as I am watching her, she won’t neglect her studies.
Ye Wangshu thought about it and decided that this was the only best method.
"I will definitely not neglect my studies, but I don't want the money. My sister-in-law has helped me so much, I should do some work."
Zhou Xiaohong's persistence made Ye Wangshu laugh. She shook her head and said, "Take this money. When the time comes, you can use it to buy a gift for your sister-in-law to thank her. What do you think of my idea?"
"Then I can buy things for my mother and stationery for myself."
Zhou Xiaohong blinked her eyes, instantly overjoyed, "Then I'll accept the salary my sister-in-law offered me!"
Zhou Xiaohong's words instantly made Ye Wangshu and Zhou's mother burst into laughter, and the somewhat dull atmosphere instantly became lively.
Ye Wangshu pretended to go out, took a walk in the fields, and then returned home with the silkworms and silkworm-raising instructions.
"Wangshu, why did you come back so soon?"
"I happened to meet an old man who was selling silkworms, so I bought some. I bought these silkworm instructions in the city a few days ago. Mom, can you see if you can understand them?"
"It's so detailed!" Zhou's mother exclaimed in amazement as she read the instructions in her hand. "There are so many mulberry trees on the mountain. I'll go up there every day from now on."
"Mom, this is exercise for you. But don't run when it rains."
Ye Wangshu was afraid that Zhou's mother would only focus on raising silkworms and ignore safety, so he began to remind her.
