The two sisters are regular customers of Huo Xiangling's place, and they both like her cheongsams.
Huo Xiangling smiled slightly when she saw the person coming in: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao would be so free today."
Lin Hua smiled and nodded: "Come and look at the clothes."
Her gaze stopped at Chi Lanlan who was standing next to her and she asked, "So Lanlan is here to order clothes today too. I haven't seen Chi Lanlan for a while. I didn't expect her to become even more beautiful."
Chi Lanlan nodded lightly and said hello: "Mrs. Zhao is becoming more and more elegant and youthful now."
She knew Mrs. Zhao, a friend of Feng Suqin, and they were birds of the same flock. Chi Lanlan saw that Huo Xiangling had a guest and was about to leave.
"Since Mrs. Hu has a visitor, I'll leave first."
Mrs. Zhao suddenly said, "Lanlan, I haven't seen you since you recognized your biological parents. When you are free, please have dinner with your aunt."
Mrs. Zhao spoke up herself, which surprised Chi Lanlan. After all, she was no longer Feng Suqin's daughter, and Mrs. Zhao should have invited Jin Feifei.
Abnormality is a demon.
She didn't think that she had any relationship with Mrs. Zhao. Even before, Mrs. Zhao had not been so enthusiastic towards her.
"Auntie, I think it would be more appropriate for Feifei to have dinner with you."
She didn't want to say anything polite and just refused with one word.
Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Lanlan, you are being too formal. I have watched you grow up. Although you are not Suqin's biological daughter, you are the same to me."
Chi Lanlan just smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Lin for your kindness."
Lin Qin beside her snorted, "Since you know it's my sister's favor, you should be more sensible. Why are you still making excuses?"
Chi Lanlan knew that Mrs. Zhao's younger sister had married a very remarkable man, whose surname seemed to be Du.
But she won't have to deal with these people directly in the future, so she is not afraid of offending anyone.
Lin Hua pulled Lin Qin aside and said, "Look at what you said. You scared the child. I heard she's gone to the countryside now. She doesn't have much experience to begin with. If you say that to her again, someone who doesn't know the truth might think we're bullying her."
Huo Xiangling glanced at Chi Lanlan, not knowing what kind of relationship they had. However, Chi Lanlan and she had a cooperative relationship, so she could only say, "It's rare for you two ladies to come here. What would you like to order today?"
Lin Hua said, "I brought my sister here to see what new styles you have. She has an important event in half a month and needs nice clothes to look good."
Huo Xiangling smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhao has good taste. Important occasions really cannot be complete without our Hu's clothes. I happen to have a few new samples here. You two ladies can try them on. They are very suitable for your temperaments."
Chi Lanlan didn't plan to stay any longer and said calmly, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. Aunt Lin, take your time to choose."
Lin Hua was about to say something else, but then she glanced at Chi Lanlan and said with a smile, "Okay, since you're not free this time, then let's do it next time. Oh, by the way, where do you live? I'll come visit you someday if I pass by."
Chi Lanlan said, "The countryside is far away, and Aunt Lin will definitely not pass by. I will come to the city another day and visit Aunt Lin if I have time."
She was just being polite!
"It's a deal then. You can't lie to me." Lin Hua smiled, looking easygoing.
Chi Lanlan nodded and turned to leave.
Lin Hua turned to look at Huo Xiangling: "Are Mrs. Hu and her friends?"
Huo Xiangling smiled slightly: "It's not really friends, but partners."
"Cooperation? You still have cooperation?"
Huo Xiangling nodded: "Yes, business matters."
She only said one sentence and didn't intend to go into details.
Lin Hua was sensible and didn't ask any further questions, but she said to Huo Xiangling: "Next time she comes to see you, please send someone to tell me that I need to discuss something with her."
After that, she explained, "Don't worry. Her adoptive mother and I are sisters. I came to her because I had something to tell her. She probably felt that since she's not my sister's biological daughter, it wouldn't be nice to bother me. But I do need her help with something. Just find someone to let me know, and I'll reward you."
Lin Hua was an old customer, and Huo Xiangling didn't want to offend her. She smiled and said, "Speak of reward. It's my honor to help you."
Lin Hua's smile deepened: "Thank you, Mrs. Hu."
Huo Xiangling: "You're welcome."
Lin Qin snorted and said, "I think she's very ignorant. Sister, what's the matter that requires looking for such a person?"
Lin Hua smiled and said, "You don't know this. She used to be quite well-behaved..."
No matter what the two sisters were talking about, Huo Xiangling just listened quietly without commenting.
Hearing these words, there probably isn't anything disadvantageous to Chi Lanlan. It's equivalent to finding some opportunities for Chi Lanlan, while at the same time consolidating his own customers.
…
Chi Lanlan went out early in the morning, but Lin Guihua was waiting for her daughter to come over. As soon as Chi Zijun got out of school, she asked him to come and find Chi Lanlan. As a result, she found out that her eldest daughter had already gone to the city.
Lin Guihua guessed that it might be related to her other two daughters, and she became even more anxious.
In the afternoon, she asked Lin Xiangcao to work, so she came over.
Song Lingshu rarely saw Lin Guihua so worried, so she said, "Don't worry. If something can be solved, worrying about it is unnecessary. If it can't be solved, worrying about it is useless."
Lin Guihua knew this was the truth, but she couldn't remain calm. She could only sigh and say, "Old lady, you are knowledgeable and experienced, but I am not. I have always lived in the village and don't know much about the outside world. My abilities are also limited. Now I am worried that if my two daughters make any mistakes, it will ruin their lives."
Song Lingshu comforted her with a few words.
"Parents all over the world are worried. Everyone who is a parent worries, but you should also relax. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You can't worry about them forever. Moreover, many times, there is very little we parents can do for our children. No one can do everything for them."
"Besides, children don't need their parents to do everything for them."
Lin Guihua nodded and looked outside again.
It was time to set up the stall in the afternoon, but Chi Lanlan had not returned yet, so Lin Guihua had to leave first.
It was already dark when Chi Lanlan returned to town. Song Lingshu told her that her mother would come over specially in the afternoon, but Chi Lanlan did not go there immediately. Instead, she took care of the household affairs first.
After dinner, when Chi Lanlan was about to go over, Lin Xiangcao came to find her.
Lin Xiangcao and her husband went to the city and contacted the Women's Federation, but so far there has been no progress and no one has come. They are worried about the effect of the letter of complaint.
Chi Lanlan said: "I have asked my friends in the city for help, but we have to give them some time."
Lin Xiangcao nodded: "That's for sure, but Zou Jiaping still beats my sister now, and I'm too worried about her."
Chi Lanlan said, "Call the police every time you hit someone. Let the police record it. The more records there are, the more Zou Jiaping's faults will become. At the same time, you must also teach your sister how to deal with it."
"If you can hide, hide. If you can't, expose your wounds to everyone. Public anger is your greatest weapon. Whether a divorce can go smoothly depends on the relevant departments, but getting justice can be done on your own."
