Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 654 - 632: Wang Leqin

"Lin Wan. Han Yi. Trying to mess with me behind my back, well done. Lin Wan, Ye Qing will never let this go with you in this lifetime."

Ye Weijun returned home in such a miserable state, feeling resentful. So he took the address he had in hand and headed to the military base in G City.

Originally, he intended to teach Ah Qing, the shameless girl, a lesson. Why would she shamelessly find a man outside? However... finding a military officer did get his satisfaction.

Having a son-in-law who’s an officer would definitely be impressive when returned to their village. Look at Liang Hongmei. Her husband is back, and he’s a senior officer. Her son-in-law is also an officer.

Everyone in the family is capable now, and the villagers are all eager to curry favor. Just see who dares provoke them now.

His daughter now found him a son-in-law who is an officer as well, hence soon, the villagers will be flattering him day and night.

Originally, he thought to teach his daughter a lesson, make her obedient, and get her mother’s address from her. Then, meet his unseen son-in-law.

When the son-in-law meets the father-in-law, he should certainly be eager to entertain. Served with good food and drinks. By then, he asks for some money from the son-in-law, carrying fruit cans, and swaggering home for the new year. Who wouldn’t envy him?

Unexpectedly, he didn’t see the son-in-law, and after hitting the daughter twice, he was locked up again.

Now, he truly regrets it, like raising a tiger to bring disaster. Should’ve strangled her at birth to avoid trouble now.

Not even recognizing her own father anymore. Went home to trick them into taking her mother away, hiding her. She’s rebelling.

Ye Weijun cursed at the detention center, angrily, "Damn it, wait till I catch you later, won’t beat you to death, you scoundrel."

....

Lin Wan has been in Z City for two days now. She had gone to see her grandparents yesterday.

Today, with nothing to do, she followed Mom to the mall, planning to buy some gifts for Little Grandmother’s family.

Lin Wan didn’t expect, she met Gao Ran’s wife, Wang Leqin, on the second floor.

Wang Leqin was surprised to see her, "You’re back?" Perhaps knowing Lin Wan doesn’t often stay in Z City, she greeted her.

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, looking at the clothes in her counter. She was surprised. Inside were a dozen bridal outfits, according to her later-generation vision, a bit conservative, but by people’s view at present, too revealing. Though truth be told, the designs were really nice.

"Did you make all of these yourself?"

"Yes," Wang Leqin thought she would, like others, disdainfully criticize a few words, but Lin Wan’s next words brought joy to her heart.

"The designs are beautiful, just too revealing. If they’re slightly altered, they will sell well," Lin Wan boldly commented without fearing she’d get upset.

"Really?" Wang Leqin smiled, "Last time, I really liked the bridal outfit you designed for your Saozi, was just too embarrassed to ask you for guidance. Do you really think if I alter them slightly, people will like them? My several clothes here have been hung for a long time, nobody asks about them."

Lin Wan didn’t expect that a person who’s always proud and hard could be humble. She thought if she said this, Wang Leqin would either give her a disdainful look or directly retort with defiance.

Seeing her so excited, Lin Wan pointed to a pink one right there, "This one, the V-neck you opened is too big, you could add an inner layer of transparent gauze. Add some ruffle to the edges or adorn with a few tulle flowers, it’d be better. The sleeves can be made into three-quarter sleeves or full sleeves. It’s cold weather now. Many get married in winter for the new year. So, such tulle skirts are too cold, you can add a red shawl to them or maybe make some cotton Chinese-style bridal outfits."

Wang Leqin displayed a rare smile, feeling she found a kindred spirit.

After graduation, her parents found her a formal job, which she didn’t like, secretly quit. When found out by her parents, they hit her once, then found another job for her.

This time she calmed somewhat, secretly found a connection to get a small counter in the mall, herself making some dresses to hang for sale.

Initially, a few pieces were indeed sold. Her craftsmanship got recognized. When someone buys her dresses, it indicates they like her works, thus, her enthusiasm surged a bit more.

So, at work, she wasn’t so dedicated, designing bridal dresses and gowns day and night, sacrificing sleep. Hence there was great dissatisfaction from both the unit leaders and colleagues. But due to the family’s elders, nobody dared say anything to her.

Later, after marrying Gao Ran, without parents watching, she quit that job too, focusing on what she loved.

Only there’s scanty appreciation for her clothes from others, she once believed she was wrong in her approach, pondering whether she should heed Gao Ran’s advice and find a job. Yet witnessing Lin Wan’s design for Saozi revved her spirits again.

Returning home days later, she borrowed Mu Qing’s bridal outfit to study it closely.

And imitated it to make a few finished pieces hanging on the counter, sold out quickly within a few days. Knowing this to be wrong, she only did those few pieces, not mimicking anymore thereafter.

But always perplexed as to why the initially popular bridal gowns, though others accept her imitated ones, nobody likes her own.

Listening to Lin Wan’s remarks today, she suddenly understood.

"Are you spending New Year here, can I come visit when free?" Wang Leqin asked.

"I’m going back to my hometown in a few days, yet I’m home these days."

With joy, Wang Leqin smiled and expressed she’d visit her in the next couple of days.

On the way back, Mom asked her, "How are you so familiar with her?"

"Her husband was Han Yi’s comrade, and also in S City; last time at brother’s wedding, we met once."

"Really? I heard from people in Grandma’s yard, this girl is quite fierce, unreasonable, always arguing with her husband, often causing disturbances to return to her parental home."

Unreasonable? Lin Wan raised an eyebrow. From current interactions, she hadn’t discovered this flaw. Actually, at first encounter, Wang Leqin always gave others a sense of being looked up to.

Saozi has been stationed at the army barracks lately, only coming back during rest days, leaving her and brother alone at home along with Little Star, three people playing third wheel for several days every night.

She noticed that Dad and Mom’s relationship is getting better, every night as soon as Dad gets back, he begins to assist Mom in the kitchen.

She inadvertently witnessed several times, Dad stealing kisses from Mom from time to time.

Making them as children, utterly awkward.

"Brother, are Dad and Mom always like this?"

Lin Yinghui helplessly shook his head, "Except when Saozi is here, they are too shy to avoid doing these things, otherwise, they totally pretend I’m absent as son."

Lin Wan speechlessly looked towards the sky, if not for Mom having undergone tubal ligation, Dad might still create a sibling for them.

Thinking of that scene, Lin Wan shivered all over.

Alas, missing over a decade of intimacy, now the children are grown, without grandkids, it’s just their carefree leisurely days as an elderly couple.

The day after meeting Wang Leqin, she came looking for her.

Coming with several sheets of Chinese-style design sketches.

Lin Wan found that Wang Leqin has particularly strong designing and drawing skills, her design style is all popular in later generations.

At first, Lin Wan thought Wang Leqin, like her, had been reborn or traversed here, later discovered through interaction not so.

She merely purely likes doing this, is just a hobby.

Lin Wan found she hadn’t attended courses on fashion couture, just loved this, making clothes through self-exploration. Lin Wan secretly marveled, talent rules people, look at Wang Leqin, never attended professional coaching all relying on self-exploration, being able to make such good clothes, given time, she’s indeed the new star in design world.

Wang Leqin likes reading some foreign magazines, which have many bridal styles.

At that time seeing such clothes, she fantasized about herself wearing a wedding dress every day.

Also anticipated herself wearing one, hence initially just wished to make one for herself. Gradually unsatisfied with self-making, wanted others to like the clothes she designed, hence thought of renting a counter.

The only regret in this lifetime, she didn’t wear a wedding dress when getting married.

Because Gao Ran’s parents said her wedding dress was improper, too frivolous, forced her not to wear it.

Due to this, she cried for two days, almost canceling the engagement. Mainly she quite fondly liked Gao Ran. Finally, being coaxed by Gao Ran, reluctantly wearing a plain, rustic ugly red coat.

"These, I drew overnight, some are my modifications of existing styles, please take a look for me."

When Wang Leqin arrived, the two went into the room and discussed throughout the morning.
