Chapter 142 Marry Him



Nearly an hour later.

The car stopped at the garment factory.

Jiang Yue had visited this garment factory once before, and this time she found that a lot of changes had been made.

When the factory manager heard that Lu Jingnian had arrived, he quickly ran out with a smile.

"Manager Shen, you've come at the right time. The machine has been installed and is being tested now."

"So fast?"

Shen Huaiyuan was somewhat surprised.

He thought it would take half a day to assemble the machine.

"It's that friend you brought. He's really talented. We couldn't understand the machine at all, but he installed it very easily."

The factory manager replied.

Shen Huaiyuan said to Jiang Yue, Yao Hua, and Lu Jingnian, "Then let's go take a look."

The machine is in the production workshop in front.

When Jiang Yue followed Shen Huaiyuan there, there were still workers carrying down ducks into the building.

Jiang Yue went over and checked the quality of the duck down.

Shen Huaiyuan had already introduced Jiang Yue to the factory manager, and knew that Jiang Yue was the expert behind their manager who made down jackets. The factory manager was particularly enthusiastic.

Seeing Jiang Yue looking at the duck down, the factory manager immediately followed her, smiling as he introduced the duck down from the factory to Jiang Yue.

"Manager Jiang, these down ducks were purchased according to the standards you mentioned."

Jiang Yue brought over some duck down from each place to look at, and nodded in satisfaction.

These duck downs are of very good quality.

Nowadays, very few people make down jackets, and duck down is troublesome to process, so it's basically useless and nobody collects it.

Now, Shen Huaiyuan has people collecting duck down, and they can get very high-quality duck down at a very low price.

These duck down products cost almost nothing.

Upon entering the workshop, Jiang Yue saw the two machines and immediately went over to them.

Before she could even touch the machine, someone rushed out from the side...

"careful."

Lu Jingnian, who was following her, pulled Jiang Yue into his arms and took a step back to prevent her from being bumped into by that person.

Are you alright?

Lu Jingnian looked at Jiang Yue nervously.

Jiang Yue shook her head. "I'm fine." After saying that, she went to look at the man who had almost bumped into her.

The other person was about the same age as Shen Huaiyuan, tall and thin, wearing glasses, quite handsome, but looked a bit simple-minded.

He didn't bump into Jiang Yue, but he fell to the ground and sneezed violently, causing his glasses to fall to the ground.

Achoo!

"Luo Xiao, what are you doing?"

Shen Huaiyuan stepped forward and quickly helped the person up.

Two more people ran out from behind the machine, wearing garment factory work clothes, and looked at Comrade Luo with concern, asking, "Are you alright?"

Luo Xiao was still sneezing incessantly and couldn't speak at all.

"Achoo... Achoo..."

Shen Huaiyuan could only ask the two workers who had just run over, "What happened?"

The two men quickly replied, "Comrade Luo seems to be allergic to duck down. After the machine started running normally, he only glanced at the duck down that came out and it turned into this."

Shen Huaiyuan: "..."

Luo Xiao finally stopped sneezing. Hearing their answers, he shook his head and said to Shen Huaiyuan, "I'm fine. I'm not allergic to duck down, I'm allergic to anything with down on it."

It's not serious, a few sneezes will do the trick.

After saying that, Luo Xiao took off his glasses, wiped them on his clothes, put them back on, and then asked, "Did I almost bump into someone just now?"

Shen Huaiyuan sighed helplessly and pointed at Jiang Yue: "You almost bumped into my niece just now."

Luo Xiao, feeling very embarrassed, quickly apologized to Jiang Yue: "Niece, I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Jiang Yue: "..."

Shen Huaiyuan wanted to kick him, "Luo Xiao, that's my niece."

"Then what should I call myself?"

Luo Xiao looked at Shen Huaiyuan and asked with a serious expression.

This person looks exactly like a bookworm, so simple-minded that it's almost unbearable to look at.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Yue was amused by him, "You can just call me Jiang Yue."

"Jiang Yue, what a beautiful name."

Luo Xiao grinned, looking like a complete idiot.

Shen Huaiyuan no longer wanted to talk to him.

Luo Xiao was his classmate. He was good at everything, especially academically, but he was a bit dull and sometimes acted like a fool.

But Luo Xiao didn't want to let him go. He reached out and grabbed Shen Huaiyuan's hand, then walked to the back.

"I've set up your machine for you, and it's working now. Shouldn't you pay me back the money you promised?"

He helped Shen Huaiyuan to make money, not to work for him for free.

"Let go."

Shen Huaiyuan pulled his hand out of Luo Xiao's hand and disgustedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it vigorously.

"Why are you in such a hurry? When have I ever cheated you out of your money?"

"I need it urgently."

Luo Xiao didn't care about his disgusted gesture. He pushed up his glasses and said confidently, "I promised my sister that I would earn enough money for my bride price within a month."

There's only one day left until the end of the month.

If he doesn't get the money back by night, his sister will marry him off to the girl next door, Erniu.

That girl is so fat she weighs 200 pounds; he's afraid she'll crush him while he sleeps.

"I'll give you the money in a bit."

Shen Huaiyuan curled his lips, looking at Luo Xiao with a smile like a fox.

"You want to make money, right? The little money I give you is barely enough to get you a wife. Have you thought about how you'll live after you get married?"

Luo Xiao was single-mindedly focused on his studies, often traveling around to pursue his learning and rarely staying at home.

He spent all the money he earned in academia traveling around, and he hadn't saved much money over the years. His sister thought he was neglecting his studies and wanted him to get married, but he disagreed. As a result, he had a heart attack from anger, and only then did Luo Xiao obediently return.

As a result, he was pressured to get married. His sister said that if he couldn't afford the bride price, she would marry him off. If he didn't agree, his sister would commit suicide.

Luo Xiao's parents died early, and he was raised by his eldest sister since he was a child. How could he dare to disobey his eldest sister?

He went out to find an opportunity to earn money for the bride price, and that's when he met Shen Huaiyuan.

"My sister only lets me earn money for my daughter's dowry."

Luo Xiao looked at Shen Huaiyuan warily. Back in school, Shen Huaiyuan had always tricked him.

"It's a miracle that you haven't been sold off, given how often you travel around."

Shen Huaiyuan reached out and hooked his arm around his shoulder. "Think about it. Why did your sister make you earn money for a bride price? Wasn't it so you could get a wife?"

"Now that you've married and started a family, don't you need to earn money to support your family?"

Luo Xiao frowned upon hearing this, "I just want to earn money for my sister."

He doesn't need a wife.

"But your sister doesn't want your money now, she wants to give you a wife."

Shen Huaiyuan patted his shoulder, "I don't need you to do anything. Don't worry about me taking advantage of you. I just want you to help me out. If this machine ever breaks down, come and fix it for me. I won't let you work for free; I'll pay you."

He bought this machine from abroad, and apart from Luo Xiao, no one in China knows how to repair it.

If they invited foreigners, it would cost a lot of money, not to mention they would have to put up with the attitudes of those foreigners. Shen Huaiyuan didn't want to do it.
