Chapter 188 Customer
The village girl Lin Xiuzhu didn't know that she was being teased by crickets.
She is now outside chatting with Gu Tonglang while Gu Yu is not at home.
"Sister-in-law, don't tell my brother that I brought you to Qi City, otherwise he will not forgive me." Gu Tong regretted bringing such a stunning beauty out. As soon as he got out of the car and took a few steps, he was stared at by someone.
They were unfamiliar with the place and there were only two of them. Although they knew some martial arts, one person could not beat four people, so they were afraid of bad luck.
Gu Tong currently works as the deputy director of the forest farm's sales department. Sometimes he goes on business trips to nearby cities. Today, he happened to be in the neighboring city of Qi and was overheard by Xiuzhu.
Then Xiuzhu easily used her beauty to win over Gu Tong and made her take her with her.
"Don't worry, your brother always listens to me. It's okay, I'm here for you." Xiuzhu said this with a guilty conscience.
Gu Yu did listen to her on other matters, but he forbade her to go out for a walk. She could go out, but she had to be accompanied by him.
But Gu Yu has been very busy lately and has no time to take her out to play.
Besides, Xiuzhu is 23 years old this year. She has successfully survived the death crisis at the age of 20 mentioned in the book. She is a little proud and no longer as brave as before to go out.
"Okay, then let's go to the state-owned hotel and the department store, and then find a driver to take us back to Ding'an County." Gu Tong felt uneasy and still wanted to go back early.
"Okay." Xiuzhu just came out to get some fresh air, there was nothing else to do.
Gu Tong glared all the way, glaring at anyone who looked at her sister-in-law. She almost made herself faint. Finally, they arrived at the department store.
Xiuzhu and Gu Tong walked around and only bought cakes and snacks. They were not interested in the clothes on display.
Now Xiuzhu's skill in making clothes is getting better and better. She will draw the styles she likes, and then make them herself using a sewing machine according to the design.
She now has two sources of income. One is from her comic strips, and the other is from design drawings. This business is very broad, including furniture design for furniture factories, as well as clothes and shoes.
In short, the painting skills she learned in her previous life were not in vain and came in handy.
"Hello, comrade, where did you buy your clothes? They are so beautiful." A girl wearing glasses walked over with a red face.
It is June now, and Xiuzhu is wearing a blue doll collar shirt with a black pleated long skirt today, which is very fresh and girlish.
"I made this myself, I don't sell it." Xiuzhu said with a little pride in her tone.
She is often asked where she buys her clothes, which represents other people's recognition of the clothes she designs.
As a woman, she is of course proud.
Unfortunately, free trade is not allowed in this era, and she is not short of money, so she really doesn't want to take the risk to make this money.
She had to wait until the opening up in the 1980s to create her own brand.
Xiuzhu believes that it will definitely be popular.
The girl who asked the question left disappointed after hearing this.
"Hey, Xiuzhu, you are really good at designing clothes. I'll buy some cloth and you can make two more sets for me and Ivan?" Gu Tong felt very happy that she could wear the clothes designed by her sister-in-law, unlike others who could only look at them but not own them.
Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows and said with a sly smile, "Okay, as usual, I'll give you a friendly price, one dollar for a set of clothes, not including the coat."
Making clothes is very tiring, so she doesn't want to do free labor.
Besides, she wants to create a brand in the future, so it’s okay to test the waters first.
Xiuzhu now has a total of 4 customers, all of whom are trustworthy.
Ordinary customers include Gu Tong, Yifan and Zhang Zhizhi.
The only special customer is Gu Yu. Unless she takes the initiative to give him a gift, he has to pay for his clothes on weekdays.
Since Gu Yu's money had long been confiscated by Xiuzhu, he either wrote an IOU or repaid it in other ways...

At the Qi City Public Security Bureau, Xiuzhu and Gu Tong cautiously followed the man in front of them with a stern face.
"Let's go." Gu Yu said in a light tone. He didn't want to speak for a moment. He wanted to calm his heart first. He planned to go back and buy some tonic medicine, otherwise he was afraid that he would pass out one day.
He deliberately returned to Ding'an County from Shanghai a few days in advance, intending to give his young wife a surprise, but when he got home, there was no one there.
The room was empty and there was some dust on the bedside.
Without thinking, he knew that his wife probably hadn't been home for a few days.
Xiuzhu had no one else to look for in Ding'an County except her troublesome sister.
He went directly to Lin Factory, and was told that that damn girl Gu Tong had taken his daughter Xiuzhu to Qi City. He was so angry that before he left, he repeatedly warned Xiuzhu not to go out and wander around, and he also gave Gu Tong a warning.
But these two troublesome people just didn't take his words seriously.
In the past, Xiuzhu was noisy but she was timid and didn’t dare to go out. However, in the past two years, she has become more and more bold and rebellious.
Gu Yu blamed all these changes on Gu Tong, believing that she was the one who led his wife astray.
He originally planned to go directly to Qi City to pick up the people, but he was afraid that the vehicles going back and forth would be distracted, so he made a phone call to Qi City. The person in charge on the other end of the phone informed him that Gu Tong and others had left before noon.
It is now 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 3 hours to travel from Qi City to Ding'an County.
He waited in the forest for a while.
But by three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no sign of anyone. Gu Yu became anxious and didn't want to wait any longer. He quickly asked the driver to take him to Qi City.
And that's how he brought these two guys out of the Public Security Bureau.
The two people who made the mistake sat side by side in the back seat, and the atmosphere in the car was a little depressing for a while.
Xiuzhu lowered her head and picked at her fingers. She knew that she would be punished over and over again when she returned home.
Ever since she passed the death time assigned for her in the book, she began to become bolder, and sometimes when she made a mistake, Gu Yu would punish her in his own way.
It's quite...
"Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought my sister-in-law out." Gu Tong couldn't help but took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Thinking of her brother's evil face in the past, she felt so uneasy that she almost scared herself to death. It would be better to just die quickly.
She was also unlucky. What she feared came true. Who could have thought that they just went to a state-owned restaurant to have a meal and actually met that kind of person!
*
At that time, Xiuzhu and Gu Tong went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner after shopping in the department store.
The plan was going well. After dinner, they would go find the driver and have him take the two of them back to Ding'an County.
The driver wanted to follow them, worried that the two women were not safe, but the two refused without a second thought.
It's so cool for girls to go shopping, eat and gossip together.
Maybe the honeymoon period has passed, Xiuzhu and Gu Tong both like to complain about their men together recently.
It is really inconvenient to have a driver.
"Xiao Piaoliang has changed now. He always acts like a spoiled child with me. He gets unhappy if I look at others for a second. What's more, he's even jealous of you." Gu Tong's face was filled with worry. This time she and her sister-in-law came out alone. When they get back, Ivan will make trouble again.
However, she was reluctant to let either of the two beauties suffer any injustice. Her sister-in-law looked at her pitifully with that face. Who could bear it?
