Chapter 785 - 723: Sorrow

Han Yi saw she was unaware and laughed, saying, "Sister-in-law Jiang’s niece is now teaching at elementary school, she’s a teacher. When the elementary school was being organized, Liao Ye brought his unit over there."

When Han Yi said this, Lin Wan suddenly understood. Sister-in-law Jiang’s niece was to be introduced to You Pei last time, right? Lin Wan glanced at You Pei inconspicuously, seeing him calm and expressionless.

She heard Liao Ye say at the time that You Pei seemed to have someone he liked, so he probably wouldn’t care either.

At that moment, Gu Lin came out of the kitchen; she had just heard them talking about waterproof clothing.

"Xiao Wan, also get a set for my Zixun at home." Although her husband is a technical expert and a soldier, he often goes on missions, so prevention is good.

"Sure." Gu Lin’s words interrupted Lin Wan’s thoughts, making her forget about the matter with Liao Ye just now.

After lunch, Lin Wan returned home and immediately called Su Ling, asking her to make more waterproof clothing.

"Xiao Wan, it’s good you called; I have something to tell you."

"What’s up?"

"I went to your cousin’s factory yesterday and ran into your cousin-in-law couple. It’s Han Yi’s cousin. They were causing trouble at your cousin’s factory. Also, your aunt was there too."

"You mean Shen Rong?" At this moment, Han Yi had coaxed the child to sleep. Upon hearing Lin Wan mention Shen Rong, she quickly moved beside the phone to listen.

"Yes, that’s her. I was originally there to deliver something to your Grandma and listened for a while. Seems like Shen Rong and her husband want to work at your cousin’s factory, but your cousin disagreed. Seeing your cousin was adamant, they brought your aunt over. Your aunt said your cousin is ungrateful; the craft originally belonged to the Shens and has now been given to her, yet she doesn’t appreciate it and hires mostly her maternal family. She refused to agree when someone from her in-law’s family came over. So, your aunt argued with your cousin over this, and eventually, they started fighting. Your aunt and Shen Rong’s couple fought against your cousin. Luckily, your cousin’s maternal family was there, so no harm was done. But the matter stirred quite a commotion."

"Is Grandma okay?" Lin Wan wasn’t concerned about their antics as long as Grandma was fine.

"There isn’t really anything wrong, but she’s definitely angry."

After hanging up the call with Su Ling, Lin Wan glanced at Han Yi and said, "Should we go back home for a look?"

Han Yi shook his head, "No need, I’m just a nephew; it’s not suitable to intervene in uncle’s matters. As long as Grandma is well, that’s enough."

"Okay."

The couple didn’t call back the next day, but waited several days before asking Grandma about her health. They didn’t mention anything about the other matter.

Grandma, fearing they would worry, also didn’t bring up that matter.

Suddenly, it’s November, and the first snow of winter fell. Their factory’s cotton coats, down jackets, short jackets, and instantly available cotton base layers began selling well again.

Her shop’s popular pieces constantly ran out of stock. There were too many customers in the shop, and it was impossible to keep up. When she was free, Saozi would also come over to help.

Yang Kui’s business was booming too, with almost every item received one day sold out the next.

Lin Wan was calling the factory almost daily, pushing for more stock.

Grandma knew she was busy here, and just happened upon Peng Le, who was a graduate student with lots of free time since she wasn’t too busy usually. So she sent Peng Le to help.

Peng Le hadn’t experienced this kind of work before, so Lin Wan only asked her to watch people in the shop. Having a graduate student helping here was really overqualified, and Lin Wan didn’t want her to be too tired.

Surprisingly, Peng Le was quite diligent, becoming familiar with the business in just a few days.

"What’s up?"

Finally, during the busy peak, Lin Wan went up to the second floor to check on Wang Leqin, because many weddings happen around the New Year, but few people use evening gowns since they wouldn’t be too thick for winter.

People getting married this season often wear red coats or thick cotton jackets.

Red coats and mid-length red down jackets in Lin Wan’s shop were selling particularly well.

It would normally be the time for Wang Leqin to relax, probably eating sunflower seeds. Yet when Lin Wan went up, she found her lying alone in her workspace, eyes red, clearly having cried.

"What’s up?" Lin Wan thought she was upset about poor sales.

"Xiao Wan, Gao Ran is getting married again. He brought his fiancée to my shop today."
