Chapter 47 The Perfect Excuse



The story of Zhou Ling's wedding pranks spread like wildfire. People gradually forgot how Zhou Ling was tormented, but they remembered the wedding dress she was wearing.

"If she hadn't taken off her wedding dress, she wouldn't have been taken advantage of so much!" said the clear-headed auntie.

While the outdated custom of wedding pranks cannot be changed overnight, it is easy to dress the bride in a proper wedding gown.

When someone gets married and wants to make wedding clothes, they think of Lu Wanqing.

These days, my door is practically worn out from all the footsteps of people coming to ask me to make clothes.

Lu Wanqing has to do design, cutting, and now she also has to receive guests. She's so busy every day that she doesn't even have time to drink water.

"Okay, auntie, I've remembered your request. I'll definitely make you a wedding dress you're satisfied with. If you're not satisfied, you don't have to pay."

After seeing off the last group of customers, she collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.

At this moment, Lin Xiaocui, who was standing at the door, mustered up her courage and walked in, getting straight to the point:

"Sister-in-law, you have so many ideas. I just want to ask if there are any ways to make money?"

Everyone says that Brother Linye is lucky to have married a former educated youth and lives a life of luxury. Only she knows that Linye also earns a lot of money by hunting in the mountains, and his sister-in-law is very hardworking every day. Their money is all earned through their own efforts.

Lu Wanqing was just looking for her, but she didn't expect her to be so proactive. She's a good prospect, unlike other shy and timid girls.

Lu Wanqing: "Xiaocui, as you can see, your aunt and I have received a lot of orders recently. If we deliver them all ourselves, it will definitely take a lot of time. Would you be willing to run errands for me?"

Lin Xiaocui grinned, "Why not? I can run really fast."

She usually walks to school, an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, so she's developed a good physique from walking.

"Then you deliver to one place, and I'll give you two cents, okay?"

The profit margin for making a garment is currently between 0.8 and 1.5 yuan, with 0.2 yuan going to the customer. If you can take on more orders, it's quite profitable.

Moreover, while delivering goods, she can also help distribute her homemade advertisements and receive some orders.

"Sister-in-law, I'm just running an errand, you don't need to give me so much." Lin Xiaocui was a little flattered.

"Not many. If you can bring in more orders, I'll give you two cents for each one!"

"Really?" Lin Xiaocui's eyes sparkled. If she made more trips a day, wouldn't she be able to earn a lot of money?

From then on, every noon, while others rested, Lin Xiaocui began her errand-running business.

Because Lu Wanqing strictly controlled Zhao Xiaolan's working hours to prevent her from being too tired, she only allowed her to make a maximum of four pieces of clothing each day.

That day, all the dresses made for Liu Ying's coworker were finished. Lu Wanqing wrapped them up, put them in a cloth bag, and asked Lin Xiaocui to deliver them to Luo Hao.

Luo Hao was going to the county town the next day, so he could take the gift to Liu Ying.

Lin Xiaocui ran all the way with a cloth bag on her back, her little braids dancing merrily in the air. She passed by the vegetable garden behind the Luo family's house, and only slowed down when she reached the gate of the courtyard. Her little face was already flushed from running.

"Brother Hao, are you home?" Lin Xiaocui asked, her bright eyes peering inside the bag, clutching the strap.

Luo Chunlei came out of the vegetable garden, wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe. He gestured "shh" to her, saying, "They're resting."

"Oh." Lin Xiaocui puffed out her cheeks in a sullen manner.

Then wait a while. Work is hard, and the midday sun is too strong to work, so the rest time is relatively long. We will start work again at 3 pm.

Seeing Lin Xiaocui pacing outside the courtyard, the scorching sun shining directly on her, causing fine beads of sweat to appear on her forehead, the young man frowned and spoke:

"What are you standing there for? Come down from the eaves."

Lin Xiaocui ran to the shady spot under the eaves, where she immediately felt much cooler. She asked with a smile:

"What time does Brother Hao usually get up?"

Luo Chunlei instinctively felt that her constant calling him "Brother Hao" was very grating, and in terms of age, he seemed to be a few months older than her!

But every time, she would call him by his name without any respect and always go against him.

"It's hard to say," Luo Chunlei replied coldly.

He tied a hammock under the eaves, and now he was lying on it, his hands under his head, one leg raised, eyes closed, looking quite content.

Lin Xiaocui originally wanted him to help her hand over the items to Luo Hao, but she was afraid that he would disagree if she asked, so she had no choice but to give up.

It's because she always teases him!

Seeing Luo Chunlei lying comfortably, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. She picked up the praying mantis that had just flown over and landed at her feet, and gently approached him.

The boy had delicate features, a high nose bridge, and fine downy hair above his thin lips.

This was the first time she had seen him so closely, and she found him to be quite handsome.

He was wearing a white shirt, collar open, and she was holding a praying mantis, about to throw it inside...

His Adam's apple suddenly bobbed, and his breathing became heavier than before. Could he be faking being asleep?

The next second, Luo Chunlei suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at her.

Her hand trembled, and the praying mantis landed on his chest...

When Aunt Luo got up and came out, she saw her son jumping around while pulling on his clothes, while Lin Xiaocui covered her mouth and tried not to laugh.

Aunt Luo didn't like Wang Xiuqin very much, but she had a good impression of Lin Xiaocui. Every time she saw her, she would greet her with a smile.

"Xiao Cui is here! Why didn't you wake me up?" The last sentence was addressed to Luo Chunlei.

This kid doesn't know any hospitality at all.
