Chapter 197: Chapter 197 I Don’t Want You to Take the Wrong Path!_1

Principal Cui didn’t go inside; he needed to prepare to go back and tell Old Kou.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Song had already prepared a basket full of vegetables, including baby bok choy, spinach, leeks, and tender scallions.

Just looking at them was delightful.

She told Principal Cui that all these were from her own vegetable garden, there was plenty, and if he wanted some, he could just ride a bike over to pick them up—as if just taking a leisurely trip.

Principal Cui wasn’t shy to accept.

People, you see, need frequent visits to get to know each other.

After he had left, Song Yunuan didn’t rush to the horse-drawn cart to go to the headquarters, because by that time everyone had already gotten off the cart.

Song Yunuan asked, "Do you want me to take you to the headquarters?"

Chu Jina had been restless for a while and asked Song Yunuan, "You said earlier that your mom made your clothes and there are ready-made ones hanging at your home, and that you also have a service station. Can we take a look?"

Song Yunuan scratched her head and said, "Well, once clothes are made, they’re meant to be seen. Aren’t you tired? You can come tomorrow if you prefer."

Liu Xiaomin immediately said, "Not tired, not tired at all."

Then Chu Jina said to Guo Xia, "Mom, why don’t you go back and rest first?"

Guo Xia replied, "I’ll come and take a look too."

She was quite curious herself.

Could the people of this village really make beautiful clothes?

Song Yunuan said, "The clothes are in the west wing, which you could say is our family’s workshop."

As she spoke, she led them towards the west wing.

Old Mrs. Song came to meet them, naturally saying, "Let Little Nuan show you the clothes. I’ll go and pick some fresh baby bok choy and spinach for you."

Guo Xia felt a bit embarrassed but thanked her anyway.

Old Mrs. Song said, "Your son is quite something, you know. Our village is changing every day under his leadership. Coming all the way here, taking some spinach and bok choy from our own garden, there’s no need to thank us..."

While saying this, they had arrived at the west wing. Guo Xia glanced at the courtyard; it was really clean and even had two flower beds.

Many domestic and wildflowers were planted there. Even though it was a thatched house, it felt cleaner and tidier than others.

Guo Xia thought to herself that even many large courtyards in Beidu weren’t as clean or comfortable to live in.

When they opened the room where the clothes were kept, all three were astounded.

The first things they saw were the colorful dresses, blouses, and skirts hanging on a clothes rack more than a meter tall.

Each and every one of them was incredibly beautiful.

Song Yunuan said, "This room is very clean. Once the curtains are drawn, you can’t see anything from outside, so you can try on the clothes if you like, just take off your shoes before entering."

Chu Jina asked excitedly, "Really? Can we?"

Song Yunuan thought to herself that of course they could.

But she said, "You’re relatives of the brigade leader. Others might not be allowed, but you certainly are."

Guo Xia, however, stopped the two girls. They weren’t foolish enough to think these clothes were free to wear and take.

She asked Song Yunuan, "Do these clothes have prices?"

Song Yunuan replied, "I’m not exactly sure. Let me ask my mom."

Xia Guilan was doing quite well for herself.

She let the few women enter the room.

She pulled the curtains closed in a little room, telling them they could try on clothes there unseen by others, and also told them to try on whatever they liked as there were different sizes available underneath.

The ready-made ones were custom orders from city girls.

However, if they liked anything, they could also take it by paying just the cost price.

Of course, if they didn’t like anything, it was no issue.

Such beautiful clothes—Guo Xia herself couldn’t let them go, although there were some she couldn’t fit into. But there were a few linen suits, and once she tried them on, not only were they comfortable, but she also felt instantly more elegant.

After some consideration, she realized she had not seen anyone in Beidu dress this way.

Eventually, everyone bought several pieces each.

Guo Xia wasn’t short of money, and people in this era weren’t accustomed to haggling.

Moreover, she didn’t want to take advantage of others.

Whatever price others were charged, they were charged the same.

Song Yunuan gave each of them a tote bag, all pieced together, but they looked very fashionable.

There were also head flower hair clips, which were given for free.

With this batch, she made over four hundred yuan.

Lian Xiang thought that if more customers like this came, they wouldn’t even need to go out to sell goods.

Xia Bowen’s family had two visitors.

They didn’t have much contact on a regular basis, but they intersected in their work.

One was named Gong Yunbin, and the other Liu Han, both older than Xia Bowen, one of them a leader in the same system as Xia Ming.

Xia Ming had been at his parents’ home for the past few days.

He had just come back from the hospital.

There was no small talk. Today, Old Master Gong was a bit out of the ordinary. His lips moved, and he directly asked Xia Bowen, "Bowen, is the prescription you reported for the special medicine for Disease 06 real?"

Xia Bowen nodded seriously, "How could I joke about something so important?"

Old Master Gong’s eyes turned red, and his voice trembled slightly, "When can that medicine be produced?"

"Big Brother Gong, a temporary work group has already been formed. There are some other issues involved, but as soon as those are settled, production can start very soon."

"Bowen, I won’t hide it from you anymore at this point," Old Master Gong emphasized again, "Don’t be afraid. I’m fine. It’s my youngest son who has the problem."

Xia Bowen was momentarily stunned, "Wasn’t it said that he was sent abroad to study?"

Old Master Gong’s tears immediately began to flow, "... You should know by now what Disease 06 is all about. Yes, my youngest son has caught the disease.

He was sent away at that time, and he’s been there for five years now.

There was no choice, to save his face, we had to say he went abroad to study."

Xia Bowen thought of Old Master Gong’s youngest son, a handsome young man.

He was aware of the disease.

After contracting it, the skin becomes ulcerated and paralyzed until one is like a living dead, but when Secretary Bai told him about it, neither of them knew it was classified as Disease 06.

It’s a disease that makes people’s complexion change at the mention of it.

So far, there has been no good solution.

They are now seeking help worldwide.

But the results have been minimal.

Some took the opportunity to ask for outrageous prices, others simply watched as if it were a joke.

After understanding the situation, one could imagine what kind of scenario it would be if the special medicine really became available.

But Xia Bowen hadn’t expected it to be related to these two men.

Old Master Gong said, "I won’t talk about other things now, I came to see you privately, just out of personal relations. As for the grudges, I’m an outsider, and I have no right to interfere, but I hope you will stand on a fair standpoint. Bowen, we’ve had a relationship for several decades. I don’t want you to take the wrong path."

Xia Ming’s face looked very ugly.

But he soon took back that look of displeasure.

Though Old Master Gong was not his direct supervisor, he was still one of his leaders.

Xia Bowen’s expression was complex, and his voice somewhat heavy, "Big Brother, rest assured, I will maintain my integrity in the face of right and wrong."

Next to him, Liu Han’s voice was hoarse, "We trust you, which is why we’ve come to you, and standing here, you should have guessed, my household’s situation is similar to Old Gong’s, and moreover, we have two..."
