Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Selling Clothes (5)
After telling Grandma that she had brought herbal remedies from home through her uncle for her leg chill, Grandma couldn’t stop praising her.
Lin Wan felt a bit shy and quickly found an excuse to help Grandma go rest.
Back in her room, she found Grandma’s measurements, and prepared to make her a new outfit for the wedding.
The gray fabric she got from the scrap station last time was perfect for making pants. It’s thin material, cool to wear. Tomorrow she’ll take the fabric coupon and get a suitable cloth for Grandma’s top.
Lin Wan planned for the two bolts of fabric she got, the leaf print one will be made into loose babydoll tops, shirts, and short sleeve tops, and part of it into cropped suspenders, perfect for young girls. For the white gauze, she planned to make a small stand-collar loose babydoll top and women’s shirt, and the gray one for middle-aged pants.
Early the next morning, Lin Wan went to the shop to wait for Shen Rong and her fiancé.
To be honest, a bride is always beautiful, Shen Rong hadn’t been seen for a long time but looked much prettier.
Only the gaze remained unchanged.
"My mom’s long said your family opened a big restaurant, never thought to invite us for a meal." Shen Rong said, her eyes filled with envy as she glanced around the hall.
Lin Wan disliked dealing with her aunt’s family, as expected, like mother like daughter. Look, the moment arrived and it started.
"May I ask who this is?" Lin Wan didn’t respond, but smiled and asked the gentle-looking man beside her.
"This is my fiancé, Li Chang. Li Chang, this is my cousin-in-law, Lin Wan." As soon as Shen Rong mentioned Li Chang, her tone softened immediately, with overwhelming enthusiasm, and even her gaze became much friendlier.
Tsk tsk, a woman in love sure is different.
After a brief chat, Li Chang stated his requirements. Lin Wan, with the principle that they were relatives, offered a significant discount, whether in quantity or dishes, all were top notch. On the surface, Lin Wan seemed to have lost, but they thought they’d gotten a good deal and were very satisfied.
Only Xiao Gu knew how much Sister Xiao Wan earned. Having followed Lin Wan for some time, he learned a lot. When Sister Xiao Wan wasn’t around, he even managed to close orders for two wedding banquets, all done well, and the guests were happy.
Perhaps with her fiancé present, Shen Rong wanted to leave a scholarly and gentle impression, during discussions, she always appeared agreeable.
Well, Lin Wan was happy to let it be.
In the afternoon, Lin Wan didn’t stay in the shop, directly went to the new home side, planned the clothes from several batches of fabric over two days. Skipping the flaws, she roughly cut out over three hundred pieces of garments, Lin Wan took back two dozen or so, to sew on her sewing machine at home.
Lin Wan first finished Grandma’s clothes, a light purple base with gray-blue print fabric, together with gray pants, they looked quite spirited.
In addition, Lin Wan made outfits for Mom and Aunt Jin each. Not just them, but even Second Aunt’s mother-in-law got one, including her mother-in-law. Regardless of good or bad, they raised Han Yi so big over the years, it was time to give back.
It’s said the gray pants and white tops were nice, both had slender figures, and Lin Wan made them standard collar tops.
Even wearing these, they looked much younger. Uncle Jin couldn’t take his eyes off Aunt Jin in the outfit, with almost no embellishing words, always repeating two words, beautiful.
Made Aunt Jin’s old face blush.
Knowing Lin Wan prepared some fabric to make clothes for sale, Aunt Jin felt a bit uneasy and quickly stopped her, "Now your Uncle Jin sets up a stall at the crossroads not far from us, there’s shade to cool off, and business is stable daily. After I finish making snacks in the morning, apart from watching the house, idly chat with your Grandma. Just move your sewing machine to your Grandma’s storefront room, us old neighbors can chat and keep an eye on the store, while also help sew some pieces for you. Aunt Jin’s skills, don’t worry, quite comparable to yours."
