Shen Yao had been busy during this period, so her v-station account was managed by her sister-in-law for updates. Now that she was free, Ning Min quickly returned the account to Shen Yao.
"Yao Yao, quickly check your account. There are too many messages every day; your sister-in-law didn't know how to reply," Ning Min said, feeling relaxed after returning the hot potato.
Recording videos and editing them for the past few days had made her worry herself bald.
"It's normal that you can't reply to so many messages. Sister-in-law, if you're like this, how can I give you the account?" Shen Yao said with a mixture of laughter and tears.
She had originally wanted to give the account to her sister-in-law to manage, so that she would feel she had something to do and wouldn't worry about having nothing to do and overthinking.
"No way, Yao Yao. Sister-in-law feels she's not cut out for this. You should manage it yourself."
Ning Min truly couldn't handle it. Having to film videos every day, edit them, and do voiceovers – just thinking about it gave her a headache.
"Alright, sister-in-law. How about opening a tailor shop for you?"
Shen Yao suddenly remembered this. Ning Min had studied fashion design in college and often created design drafts during her university years.
After graduation, she returned to their hometown with Shen Huaimin. Shen Huaimin liked cooking and thought about opening a shop.
When Ning Min returned, her major was not easy to find work in the county. She also didn't want to live separately from Shen Huaimin, so she put aside her design aspirations, only occasionally taking small orders online.
Shen Yao had worn clothes made by Ning Min quite a bit before. She dared to say that the clothes her sister-in-law made were even better than those bought at department stores!
"Open a tailor shop?" Ning Min was shocked to hear this.
She had thought about it before, but it wasn't popular in the county.
Young people shopped online or bought ready-made clothes at malls, while older people preferred to find old tailors to make clothes for them.
With more advanced technology, fewer people were willing to order custom-made clothes. There were now only two remaining tailor shops in the county.
"Yes, let's open a tailor shop. It doesn't need to be profit-oriented. We're not short of money at home, and Tuánzi has her mother looking after her. You can do something you enjoy," Shen Yao said, looking at Ning Min.
Her sister-in-law had always been silently contributing to the family, never complaining or finding fault, always prioritizing the family.
"I still won't. If the family gets busy, I can still help out." Ning Min refused.
Although she was tempted, as Shen Yao said, the family wasn't short of money, but they were short of people. There were only a few people in the family, and if she didn't help, they really wouldn't be able to manage.
"You don't need to help. Just listen to your little sister and open a tailor shop. Your skills are so good; people will definitely like them."
Shen Mama had been listening for a while and heard that her daughter-in-law refused because she was worried about not having enough people at home. This wouldn't do!
"Mom, you heard?" Ning Min smiled sheepishly.
Shen Mama nodded at Ning Min. "You, you, why don't you think about yourself? You refused to stay outside back then, and you didn't want to open your own shop either.
It was unavoidable then, but it's different now. You should live for yourself and do something you like."
Shen Mama said earnestly. Although Ning Min was her daughter-in-law, in her heart, she was no different from her own daughter!
"But what if, what if no one likes it?" Ning Min's concern wasn't just about not making money but also about no one liking her clothes.
"What's there to worry about? If no one likes it, we're still here! Once the shop opens, you'll make clothes for us first. Mom hasn't worn your clothes in a long time," Shen Mama said.
"Yes, Mom is right. Also, sister-in-law, you're too unconfident. Every piece of clothing you design is so beautiful. Now vintage style is trending, and your design style fits perfectly with that, doesn't it?"
Shen Yao also persuaded her. Ning Min's design style was generally retro because her teacher was an old professor who specialized in handmade qipaos, Zhongshan suits, and the like.
Shen Yao had seen the qipaos the old professor made by hand before; they were simply stunning!
"Then I'll try?"
Ning Min was encouraged by Shen Yao and Shen Mama's words. She felt she really should give it a try.
"Of course, that's no problem. I can't help you with the rest, but the money..."
Shen Yao took out a stack of money from her space. "Here, Big Brother and the others have it, and my sister-in-law definitely has a share!"
Shen Yao gave Ning Min 500,000 yuan. She could give more, but Ning Min wouldn't accept it.
"You don't need to give me money; you haven't spent the money you gave to your elder brother yet," Ning Min waved her hands repeatedly. Moreover, her little sister and the others had already given them the agritainment, so how could she still accept Shen Yao's money!
"You also said it was for my elder brother, but you haven't given it to me, sister~~"
Shen Yao's call of "sister" almost made Ning Min cry.
Shen Yao had been raised by her since she was young, and she had always called her sister. Later, after marrying Shen Huaimin, everyone told Shen Yao to call her sister-in-law, and it took Shen Yao a long time to get used to it.
At that time, when Shen Yao changed her address to sister-in-law, Ning Min had been quite sad and had taken a long time to adapt.
"Okay, sister, I'll take it." Ning Min then accepted the money.
When the account returned to Shen Yao's hands, she had specifically looked at the videos Ning Min had edited and uploaded.
As expected of someone who studied art, the filming and editing effects were much better than hers.
Shen Yao opened the messages and found that many netizens had also noticed the different filming style.
"I swear, the person who filmed this video is definitely not the blogger!"
"Yes, the blogger would never waste time on us by adding filters. Look, it's the same scene, one is the real version, and the other is a fairy-tale version."
"There's no harm without comparison. I strongly suggest future videos be made to this standard."
"It's not that the blogger's skills are bad, it's just... not as good as this."
"To be fair, when will the blogger do another livestream? I want to see the agritainment, the barren mountains, the greenhouses..."
"+1"
"So, when will the blogger livestream again? I'll send you airplanes! I have money!"
"I have money too, I just want to watch the livestream. I never thought I'd be urging a blogger to livestream in my life, crying so hard!"
...
Shen Yao looked at the pile of comments and thought that she had indeed promised to livestream for them when she had time, so she edited a post and sent it out.
#Livestreaming tomorrow morning at nine AM, I'll show you my family's new industry#
As soon as Shen Yao posted this, it immediately attracted a large number of loyal fans.
"Ahhhhhhh, as expected, what the heart longs for will eventually come! I love you!!!"
"Wuwuwu... Grandma, the blogger you follow is finally going to livestream!"
"Help, am I the only one who noticed the words 'new industry'?"
"You're not alone; I noticed it too. Blogger, do you still need a gatekeeper? I'm very obedient and can even poop on my own!"
