Mother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud.
"This child is so close to her aunt that she doesn't even care about her grandmother and mother."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and shook her head. She and Brother Cheng had similar personalities, both were honest and kind people. When she heard that her sister wanted to open a garment workshop, she rushed over to help without saying a word.
Unlike that lazy and gluttonous Cheng Ersao, who knew that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were cleaning the house, but she found an excuse to slip away.
Cheng Maixiang knew clearly that ever since Cheng's mother had severely scolded Aijun, Cheng's second sister-in-law had become resentful towards them. Even Aijun had not gone to Cheng's mother's house for dinner in the past few days.
Qiaomai's face flushed red after her mother exposed her. She immediately gave the water she brought to Cheng's mother and Cheng's sister-in-law. Cheng's mother touched Qiaomai's little head and said with a smile, "It's a good thing for her to be close to her aunt. As a grandmother, I'm happy to see it."
When Qiaomai saw her grandmother speaking for her, she immediately hugged Cheng Maixiang's neck happily and clung to her like a piece of taffy. "Grandma is right, my favorite person is my aunt."
Cheng Maixiang loves children with pretty faces and cute personalities. Looking at Qiaomai's rosy little face with her big eyes rolling around, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face. "Yes, our Qiaomai is the cutest. When auntie has time, I'll make you some clothes. I guarantee it will be prettier than the little skirt you're wearing!"
Sister Cheng glared at her fiercely. "Your aunt will be busy with the garment workshop in the future. How can she have time to make clothes for you all day? Do you really think of your aunt as your tailor?"
Qiaomai is the only girl of the third generation of the Cheng family and is extremely favored. Only Cheng's sister-in-law is afraid that she will be spoiled beyond recognition, so she is extremely strict with her. However, Qiaomai has never been afraid of her.
Qiaomai secretly stuck out her tongue at Cheng Maixiang, made a face, jumped off the chair, and walked around the two rooms. "Auntie, what are you going to do with these two rooms?"
"The outer room will be used as the production area, housing the sewing machines. A small area will be set aside on the west side with a few tables and chairs, serving as the embroidery area. The east side will be used for product inspection. As for the larger room inside, I plan to divide it into three areas: one for fabric storage, one for finished product storage, and one for my mother's office."
Cheng Maixiang had already planned the use of these two rooms. When Qiaomai asked her about it, she pointed at the rooms and talked about it.
Buckwheat's mouth opened in surprise. "Wow, setting up a clothing workshop is so troublesome. Just two rooms require so much space."
"You think everyone is just like you, only knowing how to have fun. If you have time, learn more from your aunt and see how capable she is. If you can be half as good as her in the future, Mom will be relieved."
Mrs. Cheng was speaking from the heart. She felt that her aunt had been reborn ever since she broke off the engagement with the Wu family. She was no longer as easily irritated and pretentious as before. She was also extremely respectful to her sister-in-law and even better to her nephews and nieces. Look at the skirt that Qiaomai was wearing. I wonder how many girls in the village were envious of her.
"Don't say that, sister-in-law. Our Qiumai is so smart. He will definitely be many times better than Auntie in the future."
Cheng Maixiang smiled and touched her head.
"Maizi, I've calculated these past two days that there are about five families in our village who own sewing machines. Adding the three we have and the one Xiaolin sent us, there are eight or nine sewing machines in total. That means we need to hire at least nine people. Do you have enough money to pay them?"
Although she knew that her daughter earned some money by making clothes for others, Cheng's mother was still a little worried that her budget was not enough. She was afraid that there would be no orders in the early stage and no money to pay the rent. She thought that if her daughter asked for it, she would take out her own money to supplement her.
"Mom, don't worry. If my sister doesn't have enough money, her eldest brother and I will definitely not just stand by and watch. After all, if this thing is done well, her eldest brother will also have face in the village. As for the person who makes the clothes, count me in. Besides not having to pay rent for the three sewing machines at home, I also don't want a salary, which saves one person's expenses."
Cheng Maixiang was sincerely touched by the care shown by Cheng's mother and Cheng's sister-in-law. She felt that she seemed to be becoming more and more integrated into this family, no longer feeling strange and uncomfortable as when she first arrived.
"Oh, don't worry about me. I've made all the necessary preparations. Now, let's go home and have dinner. After dinner, we'll have someone bring over the tables and chairs. We'll start recruiting workers this afternoon and try to secure the staff for the garment workshop. Once we sign the contract, we'll start making clothes tomorrow."
