"Ms. Du is really too modest." But Madam Cheng didn't believe her.

"Speaking of which, Wu Sanmei from Madam Du's workshop and I are from the same hometown. I ran into her a few days ago and she told me that Madam Du was in charge of her. Now her boss is very polite to her, all for the sake of the workshop. She is afraid that Wu Sanmei will be in charge, and she has the courage not to go home, but she doesn't dare to beat or scold her at will."

"That's great. It's just that Wu Sanmei had nowhere else to go, so we allowed her to stay in the workshop to avoid being beaten to death when she returned. It's not a good thing to say."

Du Wenxiu still refused to admit the incident and was still thinking about it. After she left, she would give Du Wenchan some advice and tell the people in the workshop not to spread the matter.

People today are ignorant. If men feel that their authority is challenged, they unite as one, form gangs and block the door to protest, and I cannot stand it.

As they were talking, Qi Sanniang had already changed her clothes and came out shyly for Du Wenxiu to see.

"Oh, they say clothes make the man. When my aunt puts on these new clothes, she really looks like a different person." Yue Niang was the most supportive and exclaimed in surprise.

Du Wenxiu also praised: "Jinyi Pavilion is worthy of being the largest garment shop in Dongxing County. It can make clothes that fit so well at a glance. Its professionalism is beyond doubt."

"No, no, Madam Du, you are too kind." Madam Cheng said modestly, but she did not hide the smugness on her face.

Qi Sanniang was very happy. She turned around a few times according to Du Wenxiu's advice and said, "I'd better change it. Such a nice dress should be worn in an emergency."

"Aunt, don't be so petty. Do you think our family needs clothes for you? You'll make people laugh at you." Du Wenxiu hurriedly stopped her.

"Oh, I'm holding a child every day, why do I need to wear such good clothes? But your child is too delicate..." Qi Sanniang didn't listen, turned back to the inner room and changed her new clothes.

"Older people tend to be more stubborn." Mrs. Cheng smiled and gave him a way out.

Du Wenchan's voice came from the yard, chattering non-stop. When I entered the door, I saw that it was A Luo and Lu Dawei who followed her.

Yue Niang looked at Du Wenchan and smiled, which made her face turn red. She then straightened her chest and held her head high and walked forward.

"Is this the new dress my sister and I made? Let me try it on." Without waiting for Du Wenxiu to answer, he took it and left.

"Hey, there's more..." Du Wenxiu called her but there was no response, so she gave the other set and A'luo's two sets to A'luo and told her to try them.

"Oh, there's one for me?" A Luo was not as reserved as Qi Sanniang. He smiled when he heard it.

Du Wenxiu smiled and nodded: "Yes, now that life is good, we all want everyone to wear new clothes."

A Luo was overjoyed. He quickly took the clothes, went to deliver them to Du Wenchan, and then returned to the room to change.

Madam Cheng seemed to have something else to say, but as more and more people came into the room, she found it difficult to open her mouth.

Du Wenxiu saw it but pretended not to know.

She was a person of indifferent temperament and didn't want to take the initiative to take on things for her family.

She did have some guesses about what Mrs. Cheng said just now, but some of the things she did did not fit in with her philosophy of making a fortune by hiding herself.

Du Wenchan changed her clothes and ran over. Her skirt was as blue as the sky and the water, and her gauze dress was as dark as the distant mountains. She looked steady and pretty, and her fair skin and beautiful face made her look even more elegant and beautiful.

Lu Dawei stared straight at her without any concealment, his eyes full of amazement.

"My sister is really pretty. I don't want those clothes anymore. I'll order a few more from Jinyi Pavilion. I'll use them as a token of my sister's congratulations to you."

Yue Niang was also amazed. She went forward and grabbed Du Wenchan, and asked Cheng Niangzi from Jinyi Pavilion to remember to select several good materials with good colors and make clothes for Du Wenchan for all four seasons.

Madam Cheng smiled and responded, then she heard Du Wenxiu scolding her with a smile, "You are asked to be the good person, which makes me, your dear sister, look unworthy."

Du Wenchan was just about to decline Yue Niang's kindness, and when she saw that she had provoked Du Wenxiu to tease her, she blushed and lowered her head, but then she thought that she couldn't refuse it anyway, so she might as well accept it openly.

He bowed to Yue Niang and thanked her.

"This is our good sister. Stop being petty and pushing things around, which makes people impatient." Yue Niang said happily and looked at Du Wenxiu proudly.

Du Wenxiu smiled and didn't argue with her about these things.

"You must make some purses for your sister Yue Niang so that she can give them as gifts. Although she doesn't need any, it shows our gratitude at least." She said to Du Wenchan with a smile.

Du Wenchan responded with a smile and was pulled by Yue Niang to sit beside her.

"Bah, when did you start thinking about me like this? It's not like our family can't afford it. I want a thank-you gift from my sister for a few sets of clothes. That's really shameless." Yue Niang spat at her.

"I will also make new clothes for you. Can you also make a purse for me? When I return to Beijing, I can keep it day and night and take it out when I miss you..."

Lu Dawei lowered his voice and shouted, which only made Du Wenchan's face get even hotter.

"Don't be so frivolous." Du Wenxiu turned his head and scolded.

Lu Dawei shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

After trying on the clothes and finding they all fit well, Madam Cheng took her people and left. She also agreed to bring some sample fabrics the next day so that she and Du Wenchan could choose some to make clothes.

Yue Niang reminded her again that after ordering the fabric and clothes, she should go to settle the bill, and Cheng Niangzi agreed with a smile.

Du Wenxiu said angrily, "You are willing to pay this money yourself, so why would I snatch it from you?"

At noon, I brought out the mushroom meat sauce for everyone to taste, and received a lot of praise.

"Now we just have to see how long this sauce can be preserved if it is sealed. And how long it can be preserved if it is opened and eaten every day." Du Wenxiu said to himself.

Yue Niang held Haisheng in her arms and watched from the side. She kept turning a rattle in her hand, which made a "dong dong dong" sound and made the child laugh.

"This child looks just like his father when he smiles, so silly." Yue Niang joked.

Turning around, I saw Du Wenxiu dividing the sauce into two jars and looking lost in thought. I couldn't help but cover my mouth: Why are you mentioning him for no reason?

"Tomorrow when you come back from your visit, we should discuss the things in the restaurant. We should recruit people and clean up first, so as to avoid having too many things piled up and being too busy."

Du Wenxiu nodded lightly, responded faintly, then took Haisheng and went into the house to feed him.

Qi Sanniang and A Luo had nothing to do, so they sat under a tree in the yard, embroidering bellybands with the five poisonous creatures pattern on them and chatting.

Yue Niang followed Du Wenxiu into the house. While she was feeding and coaxing the child, Yue Niang dozed off on the bed, talking incoherently.

Qiuyue came in quietly and saw Haisheng lying in Du Wenxiu's arms, half asleep. She didn't dare to speak loudly, but didn't leave.

Du Wenxiu saw her and asked her what she wanted in a low voice. She then walked forward cautiously and also said in a low voice:

"Grandma, there is a matchmaker outside proposing marriage to the second young lady. If you don't have time to meet her, I will send her back tomorrow."
