“This… This is too expensive…” Second Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly waved her hand. “1 don’t want it.’
‘No matter how precious the fabric is, if it can’t be made into clothes, then no matter how exquisite the fabric is, it’s meaningless!” Ji Zhao advised with a smile. “Besides, Second Sister-in-law, your skin is fair, and your facial features are very delicate. If you wear a lively and elegant light yellow dress, Second Brother will definitely stare at you!’
‘Ah Tao, you, you, you… How could you say such a thing-” Second Sister-in-law Shen blushed from being teased. She, who had always been eloquent, actually stuttered at this moment!
‘Mother, look at Ah Tao!” Second Sister-in-law Shen had no choice but to look at Zhao Lanhua for help!
“I think Ah Tao is right.” Zhao Lanhua nodded happily. “Then this cloth will be given to Second daughter-in-law.”
Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and picked out a pea green cloth. She handed it to Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, who was smiling. “Eldest daughter-in-law, Mother thinks this color suits you very well. Do you like it?” ‘Thank you, Mother!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen nodded happily and beamed.
‘Ah Tao, I’ll give you this light pink fabric. You look good in pink.”
‘Alright, thank you, Mother!”
‘This dark gray one is for your father. These sapphire blue ones are for each of the three brothers to make a set of clothes. As for this bright red one and this light brown one, I’ll put them away, okay?”
Zhao Lanhua quickly distributed the fabrics. “Do you have any objections to me dividing them like this?”
‘Yes!”
The other three nodded in unison.
‘Tell me about it.” Zhao Lanhua crossed her arms in front of her chest in confusion.
‘Mother, you didn’t choose for yourself!” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “You can’t be the only one wearing old clothes after our family has made new clothes, right? If word gets out, won’t people think that the three of us are the bad wives who abused our mother-in-law?”
‘That’s right. Mother, I heard from Shen Lei that Father likes you in red dresses the most!”
‘Mother, don’t worry about making the dress. Leave it to Eldest Sister-in-law and me!” Second Sister-in-law Shen patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry, Eldest Sister-in-law and I will definitely make a beautiful dress for you!’
‘Alright, then it’s decided!” Ji Zhao was afraid that Zhao Lanhua would refuse, so she quickly winked at the two sisters-in-law.
The two of them immediately carried the red Shu brocade and ran out…
‘You guys!” Zhao Lanhua smiled helplessly, but her eyes couldn’t help but become misty.
‘Mother.” Ji Zhao smiled obediently and poured her a cup of hot tea.
‘Ah Tao, what should we do with the rest of the things?”
‘Other than food, I’ll have to trouble you to keep the other things and take good care of them.” Ji Zhao smiled. “Mother, are you going to the Tian Family Village tomorrow?
‘Yes.” Zhao Lanhua nodded gently. “We’ll have to face it sooner or later.”
‘Alright.” Ji Zhao nodded in agreement. “Mother, there’s something else I want to tell you.”
Ji Zhao thought for a moment and still voiced out the guess in her heart.
‘There are definitely not so many coincidences in this world, so I think that the so -called traveling Daoist priest who said that your eight characters were unknown back then might have been arranged by someone with ulterior motives?” Ji Zhao gently held her hand and comforted her in a low voice. ‘There’s a saying in the Three Character Classic that humans are innately kind. But sometimes, we have to admit that the human heart is unpredictable, right?”
Who could tell if the other party’s heart was kind?
Moreover, there were always some vicious people who would put on an aggrieved white lotus posture after hurting others like a hypocrite.
Ji Zhao thought that Tian Xiu’e was probably that kind of person.
The curtain of night quietly lifted. When Shen Yao walked into the room, Ji Zhao was sitting in front of the desk, seriously drafting a business plan.
The dim candlelight swayed gently, accentuating the lines on her side profile.
In fact, Ji Zhao had long wanted to go to the prefectural city to do business. The first step of doing business was naturally to open up the business market! Therefore, she had long thought of starting a small food and beverage industry. The first step was this clay pot rice.
After all, the cooking method was simple and the cost was relatively low.
It was within Ji Zhao’s expectations that everyone would praise the claypot rice endlessly.
As the saying went, it was better to have a big tree to lean on. That was why she encouraged Qin Minghong to return to the prefecture city. This way, it would be easier for them to open up the business market in the prefecture city!
However, she had to draw up a detailed plan that could convince others.
Seeing that she was engrossed in writing, Shen Yao smiled gently, unwilling to make any sound to affect her.
The serious and focused Ah Tao was really beautiful.
This was probably what it meant to look at a beauty under the light, right?
Shen Yao’s heart skipped a beat. He spread out a paper and seriously drew her appearance.
An hour later, Ji Zhao finally finished the proposal.
She stretched lazily and realized that Shen Yao was standing opposite her with a faint smile.
‘When did you come back?” Ji Zhao was stunned at first. Then, she hurriedly walked around the table and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. She smiled sweetly.
“1 came back a long time ago.” Shen Yao smiled gently and tapped the tip of her nose affectionately. “It’s just that Ah Tao was so focused on writing that I couldn’t bear to disturb her.”
The smile on Ji Zhao’s face became even sweeter. “I must have been in a trance. Otherwise, how could I not even hear your footsteps? But Ah Yao, do you want to take a look at this proposal I wrote?”
‘Okay.”
Shen Yao happily agreed. He walked around the table and looked at the neat paper.
‘Ah Tao’s handwriting is so beautiful.’
Ji Zhao, who was praised, couldn’t help but smile. However, two shy blushes still appeared on her cheeks.
“I wrote it randomly.”
“It’s really good.” The more Shen Yao looked at it, the more he liked it. “Ah Tao’s handwriting is neat and beautiful. It’s really pleasing to the eye.” ‘But Ah Tao, do you really want to go to the prefecture city to do business?
‘That’s right.” Ji Zhao immediately nodded. “After spring, you and Chenchen will go to school. I don’t want to be idle, so I want to set up the shop first. When business is on the right track, I’ll hand the shop over to father and mother to manage. ”
‘Then, when the time is right, I’ll open another small food shop that specializes in selling fast food like clay pot rice. When the reputation is good, I’ll open a shop in the prefectural city,” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “1 want to make the brand Ah Tao Clay Pot Rice and earn a lot of money. After I earn money, I’ll reshape the golden body of the Earth God!”
‘After this goal is achieved, I have to work harder.. It’s best if I can become the richest businesswoman in the world!”
