Chapter 123 Chang Le Buys Cloth

After Chang Le left, Bai Xiaoyue said to Yan Ci, "A Ci, what do you think Chang Xing is trying to do?"

"I'm sending such an expensive gift, hoping Chang Le won't accept it, but seeing how much she likes it, I don't want to spoil her mood."

Yan Ci couldn't bear to see his wife looking so gloomy, so he pulled her into his arms and held her close.

"Honey, what's wrong with your brother giving his sister a gift? What's there to worry about?"

Changxing catered to their preferences, sending gifts year after year, all because he wanted something in return.

"You'll understand why next time you look at him; just look at the way he looks at Ruyi."

Bai Xiaoyue suddenly looked up: "Aci, do you mean Changxing likes Ruyi?"

Yan Ci felt that his wife was usually very smart, but she seemed to be a bit slow on the uptake when it came to love.

Seeing that Yan Ci didn't refute her, Bai Xiaoyue widened her eyes and covered her mouth.

"Oh my, I can't believe it, Changxing actually likes Ruyi. I always thought our Ruyi was only 15 years old this year, but she's actually 18."

Yan Ci: "Hmph, he comes to deliver gifts every year, isn't he just a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken with ill intentions?"

Bai Xiaoyue lay on Yan Ci, blinked her eyes and asked, "A-Ci, do you think Changxing and Ruyi can get together?"

Yan Ci patted his wife on the back:

"Honey, have you forgotten what kind of work Changxing does? You're even asking if the two of you can make it work. Who knows what will happen in a few years! Are you willing to give up Ruyi?"

Bai Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly after hearing Yan Ci's words:

"Yes, yes, yes, the future of Changxing is full of uncertainty, so we can't let them be together for the next few years. Ruyi is too young to get married for the time being."

She rolled her eyes and asked again, "Aci, when do you think Changxing started liking Ruyi? Could it have been a long time ago?"

Yan Ci: "How would I know? Just keep an eye on Ruyi."

Bai Xiaoyue: "Yes, I know. When the clouds clear and the sun shines through, if Changxing still doesn't change his mind and Ruyi agrees, I won't stop them."

Chang Le came out of the inner room, and Ye Changxing hurriedly asked, "Chang Le, how did it go? Did your aunt say anything?"

Chang Le grinned like a mouse that had stolen some lamp oil: "Brother, thank you!"

Ye Changxing smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

The next day, Chang Le made Ru Yi wear new clothes. Ru Yi initially disagreed, but after Chang Le's persuasion, Ru Yi finally agreed.

Chang Le pulled her along to find Bai Xiaoyue: "Mom, do you think Ruyi is pretty?"

Bai Xiaoyue looked at Ruyi in her simple yet elegant red coat and exclaimed in amazement, "She looks beautiful! Our Ruyi is so pretty!"

She walked over to Ruyi and touched her. The red woolen coat might seem tacky in later times, but here it was a striking red against a sea of ​​green.

Seeing that her mother also praised Ruyi's clothes, Chang Le took the opportunity to say:

"Mom, isn't it beautiful! I'm going to buy some fabric and make a few coats like these to sell. They're sure to sell well."

Bai Xiaoyue understood; Chang Le hadn't given up yet and was still thinking of going to the market to buy cloth!

She waited until Ruyi went back to her room to change before asking her daughter, "Changle, what's wrong? Do you still want to go to Yingshi?"

Chang Le stepped forward and hugged Bai Xiaoyue: "You understand me best, Mom!"

Bai Xiaoyue earnestly advised her daughter:

"Changle, your Uncle Yan said that the temperature is low now, it's very cold and uncomfortable to travel by car, and the roads aren't safe either. Let's not go!"

Chang Le stubbornly insisted:

"Mom, I'm not afraid of hardship, I want to go! Please agree! Besides, I'll go with my second uncle and the others, there are more people, so I'm not afraid."

Bai Xiaoyue sighed inwardly, "It's true what they say, once a son grows up, he's no longer under his mother's control!"

Yan Ci knew that Chang Le was determined to go to Ying Shi with Bai Wenyi, and he was afraid that his wife would worry about Chang Le.

He discussed it with Bai Xiaoyue:

“Honey, how about I go with Chang Le? Lin Xiao is going too. I’m not comfortable letting Chang Le, a girl, go with a bunch of men.”

Bai Xiaoyue's eyes were red, and she hugged Yan Ci's waist tightly with both hands, saying:

"Aci, you were injured last time, who knows what other dangers await you on the road."

Yan Ci patted his wife's head and said:

“The children are growing up and will eventually have to go out and make their own way in the world. I'll keep an eye on them and let them gain some experience first.”

It's better than her getting hurt all by herself. Don't worry, Chang Le isn't someone you can bully.

Bai Xiaoyue blinked her wet eyes and asked:

"Aci, last time you said you encountered a group of farmers. What if you ran into real robbers?"

Yan Ci patiently comforted his wife:

"Wife, I'll only go easy on farmers. If they were real robbers, they'd be the ones worried. You have to trust your man!"

No matter how worried Bai Xiaoyue was, two days later, Yan Ci still accompanied Chang Le on her journey.

Yan Ci frowned when he saw the people going with him. He decided to let Lin Xiao drive along instead.

Why did Cui Yu go along too? What is Bai Wenyi planning to do?

Chang Le was very happy to be able to go out and greeted Bai Wenyi, Lin Xiao, and Cui Yu warmly.

Bai Wenyi pulled Yan Ci aside, grinning as he said:

"Yan Ci, I'm so happy and grateful that you came to help me!"

Yan Ci looked at him with a complicated expression and asked, "You encouraged Chang Le to go, fine, but why did you bring Cui Yu along?"

Bai Wenyi whispered, "He insisted on coming along, saying that I didn't need to take responsibility, and that he just wanted to go and see for himself."

I tried everything to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. Even my dad told me to bring him along. I had no choice.

Yan Ci said expressionlessly, "I can't interfere in your affairs. I'm just accompanying Chang Le on this trip."

Bai Wenyi quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I know. I'll take care of everything; you just need to follow along."

Lin Xiao drove, and Yan Ci let Cui Yu sit in the passenger seat. He, Chang Le, and Bai Wenyi stayed in the back.

Bai Xiaoyue was worried that Yan Ci and her daughter would be cold, so she brought each of them a small blanket.

Yan Ci also took out an IV bottle from his bag, which was filled with boiling water.

He handed it to Chang Le: "Changle, this is from your mother."

Chang Le held the warm bottle in both hands, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said, "Mom is so thoughtful!"

Bai Wenyi looked at Yan Ci with longing: "Are there any more? Can I have one?"

Yan Ci looked at him like he was an idiot and asked, "How old are you?"

Bai Wenyi shouted, "What? Can't old people use it?!"

Yan Ci sat there with his eyes half-closed, ignoring Bai Wenyi's erratic behavior.

On the way there, there was still no wind or waves, and we arrived in Yingshi safely.

Chang Le got out of the car and stretched her stiff limbs, then opened her eyes wide and curiously looked around.

They were all brick buildings, and the factory buildings were extremely large, occupying many times more space than the garment factory in their own village.

The workers were all wearing uniform work clothes without a single patch. Chang Le thought to himself, "Big cities are great."

Lin Xiao took Bai Wenyi with him to negotiate. After agreeing on a price, he led everyone to the warehouse to load the fabric.

It was still that same leader, Mr. Wang, leading them.

When Chang Le saw Leader Wang, she ran up to greet him and asked him about the fabric she wanted to buy.
