Liu Rong realized he had misspoke and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to say..."
"Oh, I just wanted to advise you that you have a bright future ahead of you, so don't do anything foolish for the sake of some bad people."
Seeing his helpless expression, Liu Jiarui reached out and pinched his ear.
"Don't tell me, Chuchu is smarter than you. If you can figure it out, how could Chuchu not understand?"
After scolding her boyfriend, Liu Jiarui turned to Lin Chuchu and offered an explanation.
"Chuchu, he's stupid and doesn't think before he speaks. Don't be angry with him."
Lin Chuchu shook her head with a smile, "Why would I be angry? I know Brother Liu Rong is doing this for my own good."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
Lin Chuchu made a solemn promise to the two of them.
After the two left, Lin Chuchu stretched and yawned. She was in a good mood, having resolved a problem.
That day, Mu's mother said that she had made two outfits for herself, but she forgot to bring them back yesterday, and told her to go to the store to pick them up today if she had nothing else to do.
Lin Chuchu wanted to take her maternal grandmother and child with her, but her maternal grandmother objected, saying she would stay home to look after the child.
There are people at home, and the hired veteran is resting at home, so they can take care of things if anything happens.
It was a hot day, and Lin Chuchu happened to come across a popsicle vendor on the street, so she bought some popsicles and chilled drinks.
While she was shopping, she saw a little boy wearing patched clothes staring at the popsicle box, drooling.
Seeing Lin Chuchu looking at him, the little boy didn't say anything, and in a flash, he ran away.
Lin Chuchu found it strange, but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, it was the ice cream vendor who spoke up.
“That child is also pitiful. I heard that his parents died in an accident at work a few years ago. His uncle and aunt took over their house and did not take good care of the child. He often went hungry.”
"Later, the child lived with his grandmother, picking up scraps every day and living in a makeshift shed. What a mess! They occupied someone's house and took over someone's job, and in the end, they didn't even raise the child properly."
Lin Chuchu listened in silence. After learning about the child, she felt as if she saw her past self in the child.
In her previous life, she resembled the little boy, except that she had the chance to be reborn, while the other remained trapped in suffering.
Soon, upon arriving at the shop, Lin Chuchu unexpectedly encountered the little boy again. The little boy was accompanied by an old woman who walked unsteadily and was using a cane.
Seeing Lin Chuchu looking at the little boy, Mu's mother came over and whispered, "The boy's name is Xiaodou. He just started first grade. The woman next to him is his grandmother."
Seeing how pitiful the two were, Mu's mother often saved up cardboard boxes and beverage bottles for them.
Xiaodou saw the pretty aunt he had met before, and he blushed, lowering his head and not daring to look at Lin Chuchu.
Lin Chuchu handed the drinks and popsicles to Mu's mother so that everyone could share them. Lin Chuchu then took a popsicle and squatted down in front of Xiaodou.
"Your name is Xiaodou, right? Here, have this popsicle."
Xiaodou was too timid to accept it, so she ran behind her grandmother and grabbed the hem of her clothes.
His eyes were full of longing, but he didn't reach out to take it until his grandmother spoke.
Grandma knew Lin Chuchu meant well, but she still waved her hand and refused, "Child, thank you, but you can keep the popsicle for yourself, he doesn't want it."
Lin Chuchu said to the old lady, "Grandma, why don't you let the child pick her up? I just bought a lot."
After saying that, he tore open the popsicle wrapper and handed it to Xiaodou.
Xiaodou's eyes were filled with panic, her gaze still fixed on her grandmother, too afraid to take the food.
Grandma's eyes were a little red. "Take it, and quickly thank your sister."
Little Bean timidly said, "Thank you, sister."
Lin Chuchu looked at the two of them. Xiaodou took the popsicle but didn't intend to eat it by herself. Instead, she ate it with her grandmother.
Grandma initially refused, but Xiaodou insisted that they eat together.
"Oh, what a filial child, but life is just too hard for him."
Mu's mother was also moved by this scene. Children from poor families mature early and know the hardships of life, which is why they are so sensible.
After picking up the clothes, Lin Chuchu planned to go to the garment factory, since she still had some design drafts and wanted to see if there was any suitable fabric to make bags.
At that time, working in a garment factory was something many people envied. Employees could buy new clothes in advance and get discounts. If there were any defective fabrics, they could buy them at a low price.
It was lunchtime at the garment factory, and there were many people. The security guards at the booth looked at Lin Chuchu with some curiosity and asked her who she was looking for. Lin Chuchu smiled and said she was looking for the factory manager.
Amid the astonished gazes of the security guards, Lin Chuchu smiled and walked into the garment factory's office building.
The design drafts were negotiated quickly; some were kept for her own shop, and others were clothing and bags designed for garment factories.
The garment factory manager's mouth was practically stretched from ear to ear. What incredible luck he had to befriend Comrade Lin! While other garment factories were struggling, his factory had a ton of orders every year, and they even became a designated exhibitor at trade shows.
"Comrade Lin, come on, we've brought back a lot of new fabric and made several sample garments. Take them back and help us advertise them."
Lin Chuchu quickly waved her hand to refuse, "Factory Manager, I have something to do. I'll go see it another day."
She didn't want to take the clothes from the garment factory for free, but how could the factory manager let her go? So he took two female colleagues and Lin Chuchu to the production workshop.
There were many workers in the production workshop, most of them engrossed in their work, but some looked up at Lin Chuchu with curiosity in their eyes.
