Seeing her hesitation, Lu Wanqing quickly smiled and asked, "What's so serious?"
Liu Ying frowned. "I don't know how to say it. My friend ordered a cheongsam from you last time. Later, she went to Hong Kong with her relatives and came back recently. She said that although the cheongsam she was wearing was beautiful, she saw several others on the street with similar styles and colors, just without the embroidery. She was even teased by her friends for it."
“I only made two of that style. I gave one to your friend and sold the other to Huang Ming. Could it be…” Lu Wanqing muttered, a bad feeling creeping into her mind.
"Huang Ming is the one who bought these cheongsams from you, right? Could it be him...?" Liu Ying tilted her head, not finishing her sentence.
At that time, there was no concept of piracy, so there was no legal responsibility, but it was certainly morally wrong.
Lu Wanqing realized that although Huang Ming did not have Xu Tianshou produce counterfeits again, he had likely found other places to produce low-end counterfeits and sell them to the general public.
No wonder he knelt down and begged her to supply him! And he even agreed to such a high price!
It turns out he had been lying to her all along!
Information is not readily available nowadays, and you wouldn't know what's happening in a county town, let alone a port city. He thought he had done everything perfectly and wouldn't let her find out, but who knew that by chance, Liu Ying's friend would go to the port city, wearing the cheongsam she made.
A huge, nameless fire surged within her. Last time, she was heavily pregnant and didn't hold it against him, but this time, she would definitely not let him get away with it!
After seeing Liu Ying off, Lu Wanqing discussed with Lin Ye about going to the county town.
First, I want to go to the consignment shop to buy a calligraphy and painting as a gift for Teacher Mu. Second, I want to go to the clothing factory where I met Huang Ming last time to find out more about it.
Lin Ye initially disagreed, saying the baby was too young to come along and what would happen if he got hungry.
Lu Wanqing had already planned this out. She would express the milk in advance, put it into a kettle, and then just warm it with hot water when it was time to drink it.
"We'll only be gone for half a day, we won't linger, we'll be back soon!" Lu Wanqing said, shaking his arm affectionately.
Lin Ye's heart softened instantly, and she blushed as she agreed.
"Then, my dear wife, let me kiss you."
As he spoke, he buried his face in her chest.
Lu Wanqing's face immediately turned red to the roots of her ears, but she couldn't bear to push him away. The romantic night was about to begin its passionate prelude...
The next day, after feeding the three babies, Lu Wanqing handed the milk she had expressed the night before to Lin Chunhua and taught her how to use it.
After having a baby, I have an extra worry in my heart. Even though I know that several people are taking care of them, I still feel uneasy.
Lin Ye had no choice but to carry her horizontally and place her on the back seat of the bicycle.
"If you keep dawdling, they'll need to nurse again!" Lin Ye laughed, and without another word, he got on his bicycle and rode off.
Lu Wanqing pouted and slapped him on the back, "You're cold-blooded, you're heartless! The baby is so young, and you have to leave them for half a day!"
Lin Ye: "..." He was wronged. How could he be cold-blooded or heartless? It was clearly her who said she was going to the county town!
Besides, with someone looking after the baby, all they do is eat and sleep, so I don't have to think about them!
Snowball, who hadn't been to the county town in a long time, jumped on her, which made her feel a little better.
Lu Wanqing's mood gradually improved after she arrived at the entrusted store.
When Ragged Li saw the couple, his eyes lit up. Before they could speak, he said, "You've finally arrived! A guest has come several times, saying he's looking for an ancient stone mill. I remember you mentioned you had one at home. When are you going to bring it over for him to see?"
Lu Wanqing twitched the corners of her mouth. So that's what it was about. If he hadn't brought it up, she would have forgotten that there was a stone mill at home.
When they moved, they didn't take the stone mill with them at all, and it has been sitting by the collapsed house on the riverbank ever since.
Surprisingly, someone actually wants that thing!
The old principal once said that the stone mill was made of good material and could easily sell for a hundred yuan.
Lu Wanqing countered with that, "My family's stone mill is made of black gold stone, and it's not cheap. I'll only consider making this trip if the price is right!"
After all, the stone mill weighs over 100 pounds, and it wasn't easy to move it over.
Ragged Li laughed, his body trembling slightly. "Don't worry, that person looks like someone of status. As long as it's not too outrageous, he'll definitely be able to produce it."
“Okay, I’ll leave you our team’s phone number. You let us know the time, and we’ll move it over.” Lu Wanqing smiled casually and agreed, then revealed the purpose of her trip, “You should bring out all the calligraphy and paintings in the shop first. We want to pick one out.”
Having secured the business, Li the Rascal certainly wasn't going to miss out, so he quickly went to the warehouse and brought out two large boxes of calligraphy and paintings.
"Please take whatever you like. I'm a regular customer, so I'll give you a discount."
Just then, other guests arrived, and Ragged Li went to greet them with a smile.
Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing then began to carefully select from the pile of calligraphy and paintings.
Teacher Mu has a particular fondness for landscapes, so they selected all the landscape paintings from the collection, totaling at least a dozen.
At this moment, Lu Wanqing felt her breasts were getting engorged, so she said to Lin Ye, "You stay here and choose what you like. Buy it if you find something suitable. I'll take Xueqiu to the clothing factory and we'll be back soon."
Lin Ye nodded in agreement, "Be careful."
Lu Wanqing got on her bike and sped off. She found a secluded corner, entered the villa, found a cup, and used a breast pump to express the milk. Only then did she feel a little better.
Looking down, she saw that her bra was completely soaked with her overflowing breast milk, so she quickly changed into another bra.
After leaving the space, she went straight to the clothing factory.
To her surprise, even after she offered the security guard a pack of cigarettes, he still stuck to his principles and wouldn't let her in.
"I have business dealings with the garment factory, and I'm here to pick up some goods today," Lu Wanqing made up a reason.
The security guard glanced at her and immediately exposed her, "You say you have business, but who are you dealing with? I'll call and verify! You're trying to lie to me. You always pick up goods through the north gate and have a pickup slip. What are you doing coming to the south gate?"
The little devil was the most troublesome, and Lu Wanqing couldn't afford to stoop to his level, so she finally asked, "Do you know Huang Ming? He's a friend of mine, and I'd like to find him."
The security guard, still acting as if nothing had happened, said dismissively, "He's not from the factory. Go look for him outside!"
Lu Wanqing was so angry that she tried to snatch the cigarette that had already been placed in his hand.
One pack of cigarettes costs the price of two packs, I'm not going to let him get away with it so easily!
The gatekeeper was shrewd; he wasn't about to let go of the easy prey. Just then, Huang Ming came over on business and saw Lu Wanqing about two meters from the gate. He was about to turn away guiltily when the gatekeeper called him back.
"Mr. Huang, are you here on business?"
Huang Ming racked his brains for a moment and guessed what Lu Wanqing had discovered. He forced a smile and walked over.
"Lu Zhiqing, I never expected to meet you here!"
