Chapter 61: Skilful Hands in the World of Embroidery
If he chased Chen Qiulian out now, wouldn’t the kidnapping of his granddaughter be confirmed?! Xu Jiangzhong was worried that it would affect his reputation, so he was the first to step forward and say, “Village Chief, Patriarchs, my mother was indeed wrong in this matter, but she has been punished now. After all, my mother gave birth to children for the Xu family and is in charge of household chores. Don’t chase my mother away. As a son, I’m willing to accept punishment for my mother.” After saying that, he knelt in front of everyone and said righteously.
Xu Qing’s eyes flashed. Xu Jiangzhong was more shrewd than she had imagined. This way, not only would his reputation improve, but he would also win over the hearts of the people!
The village chief and the patriarchs also discussed. They were very gratified by Xu Jiangzhong’s filial piety.
“Since you’re so filial, we won’t pursue it. However, this is not a small matter and there has to be punishment. Therefore, we’ll punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night as punishment.” The punishment given by the village chief was already really light.
“Thank you for your mercy, Village Chief and Clan Leader.” Xu Jiangzhong hurriedly thanked them. The moment he lowered his eyes, his gaze became gloomy. He resented the Village Chief and Clan Leaders. He did not expect this group of old things to really punish him. If news of this spread, what would happen to his reputation?
This matter ended here. At most, no one dared to interact with Chen Qiulian. However, they still interacted with the Xu family. Because of what happened today, everyone felt that Xu Jiangzhong was filial and kind. He would definitely be a great person in the future. In the future, they would be able to get help because of this relationship!
The next day, Xu Qing brought Qiao Yanhui and the three children to the Divine Farmer Garden and told them about this.
Actually, Xu Qing had almost been sold. Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi knew that Qu Feng had gone to town to look for Xu Qing but couldn’t find her! Otherwise, Xu Qing wouldn’t have been defiled.
Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi had doubts about Xu Qing’s words, but the three children would not be children with an unknown father in the future. They were relieved.
However, Qu Feng’s eyes stung when she saw the silly Qiao Yanhui…
Because they had to build a house, Xu Qing decided to let her mother help take care of the children for a while.
Qu Feng had no objections to this. She did not know what Xu Qing was busy with, but since Xu Qing did not say, she did not ask. This was because what she was most worried about now was where they would live when Xu Jiangxi could walk.
Therefore, during this period of time, other than taking care of the children and Xu Jiangxi, Qu Feng started embroidering. Xu Huai, Xu Zhi, and Xu Xiang were also very sensible. They did some small things that they could do to earn a few yuan and handed it to their mother.
Xu Jiangxi looked at the busy family and swore to himself that he would take good care of his wife and children in the future!
When Xu Qing saw Qu Feng’s exquisite embroidery, she immediately had an idea. The Babe Sunshine she owned was for selling babies’ things. She could also sell baby clothes! Coupled with some of her diversified designs, she believed that there would definitely be wealthy women who were willing to buy them.
However, at this moment, Xu Qing felt that she couldn’t call a doctor anymore. As long as it was a legal business, she would do whatever she could!
“Mother, can you make the clothes on this blueprint?” Xu Qing drew a few blueprints and handed them to Qu Feng.
Qu Feng took a closer look. “Sure. Is this for Yuan’er and the others?”
Xu Qing smiled and said, “Mother, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s 50 yuan per piece. Mother, you just have to do it. Someone will pick up the rest.” She didn’t dare to give too much money since she was afraid that Qu Feng would think too much about it. However, she didn’t expect this to shock Qu Feng. She had forgotten that this was the countryside. Children grew out of their clothes too quickly, and the poor thought differently. They wouldn’t spend too much money on children.
“Little Qing, who would pay fifty yuan for a baby’s clothes?” Qu Feng asked with a trembling voice.
Xu Jiangxi also looked at Xu Qing worriedly. He felt that his daughter had been deceived.
“Mother, I met a boss a few days ago and opened a shop with him. The baby clothes I’m making now are what the shop is selling. Mother, don’t worry.” Xu Qing had already thought about it. She would only sell clothes below the age of three. Her customers were those rich madams.
Qu Feng’s embroidery skills were top-notch, and she had figured out some complicated needle techniques. Although embroidery was rare, embroidery was even rarer. As long as Qu Feng’s array formation skills went on the market, it would definitely shock the embroidery world. It would be difficult for others to imitate it.
When the family heard Xu Qing’s words, they were shocked. So their family would start business?
Xu Huai, Xu Zhi, and Xu Xiang looked at Xu Qing with admiration. Only Qu Feng and Xu Jiangxi felt sad. All these years, the person they owed the most was Xu Qing, but the most sensible one was also Xu Qing.
