Having decided to go to Kyoto, Jiang Yue started getting busy the next day.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yue ate breakfast and then got into her car and went out.
Worried about knee discomfort, Jiang Yue brought a hot water bottle with her when she went out this time.
Fearing her family would notice something was wrong, Jiang Yue didn't bring any hot water. Instead, she asked Cheng Wei to go to the department store and buy two new thermos flasks. She then filled two half-pots with hot water and put them in the trunk of her car.
Then I went to the garment factory.
After Yao Hua went to the south, Jiang Yue took over the management of the garment factory.
However, she is too busy and doesn't come here most of the time, so Xiao Xi has always been the one taking care of things here.
When Jiang Yue came today, she also called Quan Shuxi over.
Cheng Weigang drove to the garment factory and met Quan Shuxi.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue approach, Quan Shuxi immediately ran over and opened the car door for her.
"Sister-in-law, you've finally arrived."
Quan Shuxi looked at Jiang Yue with great excitement.
I haven't been here since Jiang Yue handed over the garment factory business to me.
Jiang Yue got out of the car and looked at Quan Shuxi with a smile, "Xiao Xi, you've become even more handsome in the almost one month I haven't seen you."
Quan Shuxi blushed at the compliment, "Sister-in-law, you have such good taste! My new hairstyle from yesterday looks really good, doesn't it?"
"Yes, it looks good."
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, then jokingly asked him, "Why did you suddenly change your hairstyle and make yourself look so good? Are you in a relationship?"
Quan Shuxi is not young anymore; many people his age already have children.
He doesn't even have a girlfriend.
Upon hearing this, Quan Shuxi scratched her head sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, you figured it out."
Jiang Yue was stunned. She was just teasing Quan Shuxi, but she didn't expect him to actually be in a relationship.
"Wow, you're actually dating? You've actually started dating?"
How did you meet?
Mentioning this made Quan Shuxi blush, which made her seem quite innocent.
"She is a girl from my hometown village named Cuilan. She is a very good girl. Her parents died early, and her grandmother raised her. Later, her grandmother passed away, and she was left all alone in her family."
Our families were neighbors, and we grew up together. Later, I joined the army, and my mother's eyesight was poor. Cuilan took care of my mother. We agreed that she would marry me when I came back.
But when I returned, she had already married a man from the neighboring village. I secretly went to see her, but she found out and chased me away, saying she was afraid her husband would misunderstand.
Speaking of Cuilan, Quan Shuxi's voice carried a hint of guilt, "She was heavily pregnant at the time, and I didn't dare to upset her, so I left."
Later, I secretly left some money for Cuilan and brought my mother to City A. I thought I would never have a chance with her again, but not long ago, a brother who grew up with me came to my hometown.
He told me that Cuilan's husband had recently drowned in the river while drunk. That's when I found out. He said the man treated Cuilan terribly; he was an alcoholic who would beat her when he was drunk, and he even beat her until she lost her baby.
“My brother also told me that Cuilan married that man because of me. Back then, my mother was sick and needed money for treatment. That man saw that Cuilan was hardworking and promised to give her money to treat my mother. But the money was her dowry, and Cuilan had to marry him after receiving the money.”
“My mother was very ill at the time and would not have survived if she did not receive treatment. In order to have money for my mother’s treatment, Cuilan had no choice but to agree to that man’s request. She was afraid that my mother and I would feel guilty if we found out about this. After paying the hospital fees, she hired someone else to take care of my mother and cut off all contact with our family from then on.”
Not many people knew about this. After Cuilan got married, she didn't want him to have any more illusions, so she didn't visit his mother openly. She would visit her secretly every time and would also secretly leave money for her.
He only felt relieved to go back after confirming that his mother was alright.
“I went back and brought her back a few days ago. Sister-in-law, I’m getting married to Cuilan soon. You and my brother must come to our wedding banquet.”
Throughout the book, the author frequently mentions Cuilan, his eyes practically overflowing with happiness.
"Cuilan is indeed a good girl. It's not easy for you two to be together after all these years. You can't let her down. Don't worry, I'll definitely be there when you get married."
Your older brother and I will give you a big red envelope then.
Jiang Yue never expected that Quan Shuxi had such a relationship, and that Cuilan girl was quite admirable.
"Sister-in-law, Cuilan will definitely be happy to hear what you said."
Quan Shuxi knew that his sister-in-law and elder brother would never tell him, like others, that Cuilan had already been married and was not good enough for him.
His sister-in-law and elder brother never cared about other people's opinions, nor would they look down on Cuilan.
“Tell your sister-in-law that I’ll treat her to a meal when she has time.”
Jiang Yue smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll tell Cuilan when I get back."
The whole book was filled with laughter as he agreed.
Today, Jiang Yue learned about the recent order situation, market sales, and financial statements at the factory. Seeing that Quan Shuxi was managing the factory very well, Jiang Yue was completely relieved.
"Xiao Xi, you'll be in charge of the factory from now on. I'll be going to Kyoto in a while. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, just give me a call."
I'll definitely come back when you and Cuilan get married.
Lu Jingnian can't come back for Quan Shuxi's wedding, but Jiang Yue will definitely come back.
"No problem, sister-in-law. Leave the factory to me, you can rest assured."
Jiang Yue didn't leave the factory until 8 p.m.
When they returned, Cheng Wei made a point of filling Jiang Yue's hot water bottle with water.
"Sister-in-law, I heard it's going to snow tonight. Use a hot water bottle to warm your knees when you go back."
"Thank you, Xiaowei."
Jiang Yue sat in the car, took the hot water bottle, and placed it on her lap.
"By the way, how is your sister's health?"
Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
Cheng Wei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my sister is almost cured. The doctor said she can be discharged and go home soon. I have to thank you for this."
If Jiang Yue hadn't paid for a specialist from Kyoto to perform surgery on his sister, her illness wouldn't have healed so quickly.
"It's good that my sister is better now."
Quan Shuxi is getting married, and Cheng Wei's sister is almost cured of her illness. Hearing two pieces of good news in a row, Jiang Yue's mood improved.
When she returned to the Jiang family home, Shen Min saw that she had come back so late and hadn't had dinner yet, so she quickly asked Aunt Zhang to cook her a bowl of noodles.
At that time, Xia Yang was doing his homework in the living room.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue return, Xia Yang happily ran over immediately.
"Sister Yueyue."
When Jiang Yue returned yesterday, Xia Yang had gone to participate in a competition with his teacher and was not at home.
When he came home from school today, he heard Aunt Shen say that Sister Jiang Yue had returned. Xia Yang sat in the living room doing his homework while waiting for Jiang Yue.
