"Are you telling the truth?" The woman was a little skeptical about Su Yuehua's words and turned to look at Qian Xiaoyan.
Seeing Su Yuehua nod, Qian Xiaoyan pulled the woman and introduced her with a smile: "Cousin, I haven't introduced her to you yet. This is the Su Yuehua I often mentioned to you. You can find her when you want to make furniture."
"Yuehua, this is my cousin Song Bailu, who works in the art troupe."
After Qian Xiaoyan finished her introduction, Su Yuehua called out politely, "Hello, Sister Bailu. If you are not in a hurry to make furniture, I can ask my eldest brother to draw some designs for you first."
Song Bailu hesitated for a second and said, "How long will it take for your eldest brother to draw the design? I'm getting married on June 1st, which has delayed me a bit. I'm afraid that if it's too late, the furniture won't be ready."
Su Yuehua pretended to think for two seconds before speaking: "Sister Bailu, do you think this is okay? I will ask my eldest brother to give you a set of design drawings tonight. If you think it's okay, let my eldest brother put aside other people's work and do it for you first. I guarantee that the furniture will be made for you before Children's Day."
Seeing that Song Bailu was still hesitating, Qian Xiaoyan said anxiously, "Cousin, why are you still hesitating? If you keep hesitating like this, there won't be enough time to make the furniture."
"Okay then." After hearing what Qian Xiaoyan said, Song Bailu no longer hesitated and said to Su Yuehua, "Yuehua, then I'll trouble your brother to stay up late tonight to draw the design and send it to Xiaoyan's house tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll bring my eldest brother there at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Su Yuehua said readily.
Song Bailu was in a hurry to buy things for her wedding, so she placed an order with Su Yuehua and left with Qian Xiaoyan.
Li Yumei was standing nearby, listening with a confused look on her face. She asked hesitantly, "Yuehua, which brother of Chengyi are you talking about?"
"Pfft." Su Yuehua couldn't help laughing out loud. She took Li Yumei's arm and said as they walked out of the department store, "My dear sister-in-law, don't you know how many brothers Chengyi has?"
Li Yumei suddenly stopped, turned to look at Su Yuehua in surprise and said, "Are you talking about your elder brother? How can he draw a design?"
Su Yuehua's cheeks dimpled, she smiled confidently, patted her chest and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here for you. Leave the design drawings to me. When the time comes, just follow my instructions."
"Yuehua, do you think this will work? Your elder brother has only learned carpentry from the village for two years, and he has never been to Shanghai for further studies." Li Yumei and her husband have always lived in accordance with the rules during the years they lived in the countryside, and they felt a little uneasy about being asked to cheat people out of the blue.
If Su Yuehua hadn't considered that Shen Chengzhong didn't look like someone who had been abroad, she would have boasted that he had studied design abroad.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. As long as I can draw the blueprint well, who will care whether you have been to Shanghai or not? Don't worry. Once this deal is done, I will take you to Shanghai for a trip."
After hearing what Su Yuehua said, Li Yumei finally felt relieved. "Sister-in-law, your elder brother and I are old farmers. We would rather spend the money on traveling to buy two pounds of meat for the children."
It is not easy to change a person's concept in a short period of time, so Su Yuehua did not persuade him anymore, after all, the money had not been earned yet.
After the two returned home, Li Yumei took the initiative to take the three children to her room to prevent them from disturbing Su Yuehua who was drawing.
The three children spend a lot of time with Li Yumei on weekdays, so they don't look unfamiliar to each other at all.
On the way back, Su Yuehua thought about it. It was not the right time to do business now, and with Fang Lina watching behind the scenes, it would be different for them to make furniture for others.
A carpenter or a bricklayer makes furniture or builds a house for others and charges a few dollars for his hard work. Can you consider him profiteering?
So she wanted to use Song Bailu's business to build up her reputation and promote future orders. She drew the drawings with extra care and didn't even know that Shen Chengyi had returned.
As soon as Shen Chengyi opened the door, he saw her sitting at the desk drawing something. When he got closer, he realized that it was a rendering of a sofa. "When did you learn to draw? How come I don't know."
Su Yuehua was drawing seriously when Shen Chengyi suddenly spoke, which frightened her so much that her body trembled noticeably, and her brain was rapidly thinking about how to tell the next lie.
"Wife, I can tell from the drawing that this sofa you drew must be comfortable to sit on." Shen Chengyi said, wrapping his arms around her neck.
Su Yuehua reached out to grab his hand when she heard Shen Chengzhong's shout, and she was so scared that she took her hand back.
"Sister-in-law." When Chen Chengzhong got home from get off work, he heard Li Yumei talking about making furniture for others.
He saw that Su Yuehua's door was open, so he came over to ask. As soon as he walked in, he saw the two of them hugging each other. He covered his eyes awkwardly and left the room, "Chengyi, why don't you know to close the door? There are children at home."
Shen Chengyi took back his hands from Su Yuehua's shoulders, walked to the door of the bedroom, and said without blushing or beating his heart: "Brother, what are you thinking about? I just want to see the drawings drawn by Yuehua."
Su Yuehua's cheeks flushed slightly. She stood up from the chair, walked to the door and asked, "Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Shen Chengzhong cleared his throat awkwardly and stopped talking about what happened just now, “Sister-in-law, I just heard from your sister-in-law that your friend wants me to make furniture.”
"Brother, wait a moment." Su Yuehua said, then turned back to the desk, took out the drawings she had drawn in the afternoon and handed them to Shen Chengzhong, "Brother, take a look at what I drew. Can you make them?"
Chen Chengzhong flipped through the drawings one by one, becoming more and more excited the more he looked at them. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with your brain? These drawings are much better looking than the furniture produced by our factory. And this spring sofa you drew looks so comfortable to sit on."
The furniture designed by Su Yuehua are all designed with reference to the furniture style of the 1990s. Nowadays, people's housing conditions are generally tight, and storage is the key, so the cabinets she designed are all modular cabinets.
There is also a sofa. Su Yuehua had long disliked the sofa at home being too hard to sit on, so she specially designed a spring sofa that is not only comfortable to sit on but also durable.
Su Yuehua smiled and explained, "Brother, I just draw casually. Every time I sit on the sofa at home for a long time, my waist hurts, so I wonder if I can make a very comfortable and soft one to sit on."
Chen Chengzhong looked at the drawing and pondered for a few seconds before speaking: "Sister-in-law, our factory produces spring sofas. I have recently been learning to make sofas from a master. However, the sofas produced by our factory are not as good-looking as yours, and sitting on them will not achieve the effect you described."
"The modular wardrobe you drew isn't difficult to put together. As for the wood, I can think of a way to get it from my factory."
Hearing Shen Chengzhong's affirmative answer, Su Yuehua finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she was drawing the picture, she was still worried that she would finish the drawing, but Shen Chengzhong would not be able to do it. "Brother, as long as you can do it, come with me tomorrow morning, and I will teach you how to say it then."
