Chapter 503: Chapter 504: Yang Qingwen Returns
As for the stuff at the nut shop, some days ago, Broker Liu had found her several capable women, so this matter was also handed over to them. This way, she could take a break.
She was thinking that in a few days, Brother An would be going back to school, so she was wondering what she should prepare for him.
She wanted to prepare clothes at first, but she didn’t know how to cut fabric, and whatever she made was simply a waste of material.
As for making shoes, even more so, she needed to weave the soles and glue the uppers. She tried to do it yesterday, but only ended up with a mess of sticky paste.
So today, she thought of making a purse for him. She simply wanted to give Brother An something that she had made herself so he could carry it with him.
Of course, don’t think she’s too virtuous. In truth, she made that thing so Brother An would always remember her, which was a little thought of hers.
"Sister, sister..." Yang Chuxia was concentrating on her sewing when a slightly sharp voice came over.
Suddenly, Yang Chuxia’s hand trembled, and the needle scratched the fabric, fraying the good satin.
Looking at the half-finished work now ruined, Yang Chuxia wanted to curse, but she couldn’t get angry at Yang Xiayun’s innocent eyes.
However, her face still darkened.
"Hehe," Yang Xiayun seemed to know she had caused trouble as she carefully stepped forward, watching Yang Chuxia’s work. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Ah, sister, your embroidery is so pretty! It’s beautiful!"
Yang Chuxia glanced at the exaggerated little girl and twitched the corner of her mouth. Though she was better at making purses than clothes or shoes, and her embroidery was acceptable, it was not amazing either.
"Enough! Stop flattery." Yang Chuxia patted her head and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do? Why are you yelling?"
"Sister, Brother Qingwen is back." Yang Xiayun said.
"Who?" Yang Chuxia didn’t remember who it was for a moment.
"It’s Brother Qingwen, from Uncle’s family. He came back from prison."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia understood. After all, Yang Qingwen had only been sentenced to a year in prison, so it was time for him to be released.
"So what if he’s back? Why are you making such a fuss?" Yang Chuxia glanced at the girl.
Yang Xiayun continued, "But now he’s at our house! And his mother and your grandfather are here too."
"What are they here for?" Yang Chuxia asked, frowning.
Yang Chuxia put down her work and went to the front room with Yang Xiayun. Entering the hall, she indeed saw Land Officer Yang and others sitting there, while Yang Qingwen and Ms.Ye were kneeling on the ground. Ms. Ye was crying, and Yang Qingwen kept a cold expression on his face.
"Xiaxia, you’re just in time!" Land Officer Yang called her as soon as she entered.
"Grandfather, what’s going on here? What happened?" Yang Chuxia asked while looking attentively at the kneeling mother and son.
Land Officer Yang sighed and said, "Qingwen came back yesterday and realized he’d wronged you in the past, so he came to apologize."
"Oh?" Yang Chuxia found it somewhat unbelievable. Did he really have such self-awareness?
"Sister Xiaxia, I was wrong before. I’m sorry!" Right after Land Officer Yang spoke, Yang Qingwen turned to face Yang Chuxia and said those words.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly, "You don’t need to apologize to me. After all, you’ve been punished. One debt repays another, so we owe nothing to each other."
