Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 720 - 719 Darkness Under the Lamp

"Aunt Fu, hold off on that for a moment! I brought back some fabric from the Capital and would like to ask you to make a few sample skirts first! If they turn out nice and wearable, we can order fabrics in bulk and I can then have the garment factory produce them in mass!"

"Oh? Where is it? Bring it over for me to see quickly! Skirts are just in trend this year! There’s still a month before we switch to autumn clothing! Making them now for sale, that’s the perfect timing!"

Mrs. Bai was extremely excited. The opening of the clothing store was imminent, but the store had only fabrics and not a single piece of ready-to-wear clothing. She was worrying about what samples to make first to hang up for display!

The situation Zhen Yu created was really like a pillow to her sleepiness!

"Just wait a moment, I’ll go to the door and bring the stuff inside." Zhen Yu said, as she went and pushed two large pieces of luggage through the door, and found scissors to open the packaging.

"Wow! These colors are gorgeous! And these prints... Ah! And so many beautiful buttons! Xiao Yu..."

Mrs. Bai’s exclamations kept coming, making Zhen Yu quite speechless.

Although it’s true that these items were brought back from the big city of the Capital, which certainly had better quality than what’s sold in the small, fashion-backward city of Qi City, it wasn’t as if they were worlds apart. Really, was all this fuss necessary?

If only, if only she had asked Sister He to help procure fabrics and accessories from after the millennium...

Oh my! Why hadn’t she thought of this method earlier! Zhen Yu slapped her forehead, realizing she had been oblivious to the obvious!

—

Before Zhen Yu could finish regretting! Mrs. Bai began excitedly waving at her! "Come on! Let Aunt Fu take your measurements, I can start making two skirts this afternoon! Oh right! It’s so hot today, Xiao Yu, why are you still wearing trousers? If this skirt turns out well,"

"No need, Aunt Fu." Zhen Yu smiled and shook her head: "I’ll go call Bai Xue over! You measure her, and make them according to her size!"

"How can that be!" Mrs. Bai almost immediately objected and gave a surprisingly reasonable explanation: "She’s too tall! The sample garment made wouldn’t fit most people!"

"But I’m not short either! I’m only two or three centimeters shorter than Bai Xue."

Zhen Yu was quite clear about what Mrs. Bai really thought! She must believe that once the garment is made, it can’t just stay hung up as a sample forever. When it’s time to change samples, those unsold old samples would certainly be worn!

But in fact, Zhen Yu wouldn’t wear these samples!

It wasn’t because she disdains them. After all, not every garment bought from the store can guarantee that no one has tried it before.

Thus, her reason for not wearing these samples is that... "Aunt Fu! I never wear skirts! Making it according to my size would be a waste! If it’s made based on Bai Xue’s size, when it’s time to change the samples, she can still take them home, wash them, and keep wearing them."

"Ah?" Mrs. Bai thought more carefully and realized that she indeed had never seen Zhen Yu wear a skirt before. "So,"

"So, in the future, all the samples can be made according to Bai Xue’s and Bai Yong’s sizes! The styles for middle-aged women can be made according to your size!"

"That won’t do! No way, absolutely..."

"Please let me finish!" Zhen Yu interjected Mrs. Bai’s objection and explained: "The reason I decided to do it this way, naturally, is because I have my intentions and considerations!"

—

After Zhen Yu’s explanation and enlightenment, Mrs. Bai finally accepted Zhen Yu’s decision. And she even promised Zhen Yu that in the future, whenever new styles are introduced in the store, the family of three will each wear new garments immediately! The intention, naturally, is to create samples for the clothing store and promote family matching outfits!

Zhen Yu had even planned ahead that every time the store releases new styles in the future, she will take photos of Bai Xue’s siblings and print large posters, to then hang them in the most conspicuous place of the clothing store!

Having such a beautiful pair of free models close by, why not use them liberally!

After hanging up those clothing effect pictures in the store, people began to unconsciously imagine themselves wearing the outfits... beautiful! They would feel an irresistible urge to try them on from the bottom of their hearts!

Once they’ve tried it, how far behind can buying be? Haha...

Zhen Yu thought that she was really quite a clever little demon!

So, after discussing with Mrs. Bai, she happily headed straight to the Bai Family! At this time, Bai Xue should be at home making lunch while watching her little brother!

Knock knock— 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Who is it?"

When a familiar male voice rang from inside, Zhen Yu almost doubted if she had gone to the wrong place! But after looking around, she realized that this was indeed Bai Xue’s house with a courtyard on the first floor.

Creak—

The south gate in the courtyard was opened, and it was indeed Lu Huai who poked his head out!

"How are you here?" Zhen Yu blurted out without thinking.

Lu Huai scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, "Uh, let’s talk inside..."

—

As soon as Zhen Yu entered, Bai Yong, who was squatting on the ground playing, looked up at her immediately! Then he jumped up with a smile and shouted: "Sister Xiaoyu! You’re back from the Capital!"

"Yes! Where is your sister?" Zhen Yu continued walking inside, while she ruffled Bai Yong’s fluffy little head as she passed him.

"My sister is cooking! You should have lunch at our place too!"

"We’ll see!"

Zhen Yu remained noncommittal, but Lu Huai couldn’t hold it in, "Well, Xiao Yong, why don’t you check how your sister is doing with the cooking! Your sister still needs to deliver a meal to your mom later!"

Kids aren’t actually that naive! So, after hearing Lu Huai’s words, Bai Yong first looked at Zhen Yu, saw her imperceptibly nod slightly, then agreed and ran off.

"Tell me! When did you start moving freely in and out of the house? After I left? Bai Yong has also been helping you guys hide it from his mom, right?"

"Um!" Everything was asked all at once by Zhen Yu! What could Lu Huai say? He could only nod in acknowledgment.

"You guys are really something! Is my house too small to fit you guys? You had to sneak around under Aunt Fu’s watch, looking for the thrill?!" Zhen Yu’s words were truly unforgiving, making Lu Huai’s face turn red with a mixture of black and purple... "It’s not what you think!"

"Then what is it? Isn’t this just deceiving Aunt Fu in the dark?"

"It’s because the clothing store is about to open, Aunt Fu is running to the store every day! Bai Xue was worried about Xiao Yong having no one to look after him, so we changed the tutoring location to her house!"

Zhen Yu fell silent for a moment, but Bai Xue suddenly ran in holding a spatula.

"Xiaoyu..." Her voice was low, appearing as if she did something wrong.

Seeing her, Zhen Yu took a deep breath and finally decided to say less!

"Hurry up! Is the meal ready? Aunt Fu is still waiting..."
