Chapter 20 Mom's Craftsmanship



Yu Zihan knew that she could no longer hide this matter, so she briefly confessed to her mother what happened that day.

She was prepared to be scolded by her mother, but it didn't happen. She secretly watched her mother's movements.

As a result, Yu Meijuan was seen crying silently.

It's said that silent crying is more moving than crying loudly, and Yu Zihan finally understood this truth. Her mother's beautiful face was already very touching, and now she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

This scene not only moved Yu Zihan, but also Zhou Mengrui's family of three were moved by Yu Meijuan.

What Yu Meijuan thought about was that her daughter was angry with herself because of her incompetence and she was unwilling to let her know.

Fortunately, my daughter is safe and sound, which is something to be thankful for.

She was sad for a while, but then she remembered that she had guests at home, so she calmed down. She wiped her tears and said, "Look at me, I'm so useless. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

When the Zhou couple heard what Yu Meijuan said, they looked at each other. These words did not sound like something a country woman should say. What was Yu Meijuan's identity? As soon as they entered the house, they were attracted by the furnishings inside.

Although furnishings have a lot to do with hardware, they also need a certain connotation to show the owner's taste. Without taste, even the best furniture is just a pile of dead objects. But with the owner's careful design, it will be different and people will feel the connotation that the owner has given to the furniture.

For example, Yu Meijuan not only used linen to create tablecloths for these carved furniture, but also meticulously crafted numerous coasters. Tablecloths and coasters are commonplace, but the exquisite embroidery on them is what makes them special. Liu Huifang, a person with high standards for life, was captivated by the exquisite and unique embroidery the moment she entered the house.

For example, there are several paintings hanging on the wall of the living room. At first glance, those paintings are not masterpieces by famous artists, but newly-created paintings.

Although the paintings are not by famous artists, they are still very skilled. Could these also be the work of Yu Meijuan?

If this is the case, then Yu Meijuan's background is not ordinary.

The couple speculated in their hearts.

Yu Meijuan saw Liu Huifang's eyes fixed on the small objects she had made, and she felt proud. These were just the tip of the iceberg of her skills; she knew much more. It was just that in this era where people generally lived in such a rough state, her skills had no place to be used.

Finally finding a kindred spirit, she hurriedly asked Liu Huifang, "Sister, do you like these things?"

Liu Huifang was admiring these things when she was suddenly brought back to reality by Yu Meijuan's words. She hurriedly said, "I like these things very much, especially the embroidery on them. These things are hard to find nowadays. I'm afraid that craftsmanship like yours cannot be acquired in a short time." She asked the question with a little hesitation.

"Ah, this is a long story. I'm originally from the imperial capital, and my family is quite powerful. But for reasons we all know, I was sent down here as an educated youth. By some strange coincidence, I married someone here, and I never returned to the city."

When Yu Meijuan talked about her life experience, her eyes couldn't help but look into the distance, as if the family she was looking forward to was at the end of her sight.

When Liu Huifang heard Yu Meijuan's story, she suddenly realized that it matched her own image of her.

"But why don't you go to the capital? The policies are much more relaxed now. Those people have restored their status. It will be much better for you to go back than to live alone with a daughter now." Liu Huifang was sincerely thinking about Yu Meijuan at this time.

"That's true, elder sister. But that man restricted my personal freedom in the village before, so I couldn't leave the village. Now that I'm divorced from him and I'm free again, Zihan is studying here, so I have to wait until she gets into college before making any plans."

Yu Meijuan felt that Liu Huifang was a woman worth associating with, and since they had no relatives or friends in Qingcheng, she was willing to make friends with her. So she told Liu Huifang about her own affairs, although she still had some reservations.

"That's right, big sister." When Liu Huifang heard Yu Meijuan reveal all her privacy, her kind heart felt even more sorry for this woman, and she wanted to help them.

She picked up a small tablecloth and handed it to her husband, Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou also understood his lover's thoughts, so he looked at the embroidery on the tablecloth very carefully.

If Liu Huifang looked at the tablecloth because of her own preference, then Lao Zhou looked at the tablecloth from the perspective of a professional.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, although the embroidery was very exquisite, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

His eyes flickered from the tablecloth to Yu Meijuan, a look of pure wonder.

"This is actually authentic Suzhou embroidery?" He had originally wanted to help the mother and daughter because of his lover's request, but he felt like he had discovered a treasure.

Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery and Sichuan embroidery are the four famous Chinese embroidery styles. Suzhou embroidery is the first of the four famous Chinese embroidery styles, and the most famous one is double-sided embroidery.

"Our factory is saved now. Sister, are you willing to do me a favor?" Lao Zhou's inexplicable words made Yu Meijuan and Yu Zihan look at him in confusion.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the mother and daughter, Lao Zhou knew that he had lost his composure.

So he adjusted his mood and said, "I, I'm not." Old Zhou actually started stuttering.
