Chapter 17

Geng Ailing was confused by Fan Hua’s crying, but she still patted her back gently and said, “Okay, okay, you come and protect me. Don’t cry, crying all the time is not good for the baby in your belly. Get up and come with me to eat~”

Listening to Geng Ailing’s gentle soothing voice, Fan Hua slowly came out of the nightmare she had just had.

Through these few days of getting along, she also understood Geng Ailing’s character. If she hadn’t come to Yangcheng with her cousin, with Geng Ailing’s personality, she would have been deceived by her cousin to take on clients. I’m afraid she would have really gone to hell…

“Sister Ailing, do you hate your cousin? Do you want to take revenge?” Fan Hua asked while leaning on Geng Ailing’s shoulder.

Geng Ailing’s body froze for a moment. Was she hating? She did hate her cousin the moment she saw her cousin in the morning. She could not imagine what would have happened if she had not met Fan Hua but had gone directly to her cousin…

But she seemed to have gotten used to tragedy happening to her…

The death of her husband, the indifference of her parents, the coldness of her sister… Her life was not good to begin with, so it seemed reasonable that she would encounter such tragic things.

Fan Hua didn’t wait for Geng Ailing’s answer and continued, “Sister Ailing, I want to write a letter of complaint and give it to the police anonymously, reporting your cousin’s improper work style and illegal business operations!”

Geng Ailing thought for a moment before speaking, “She really should be punished. If she didn’t trick me, what if she still wants to trick other people?”

“But… Lihua…”

Geng Ailing paused and continued, “I still want to find an opportunity to talk to her first. If she can turn around and correct herself, that would be the best. If she still persists and even harms other people, then I will report her directly!”

“That’s fine. I’m actually still worried that if the police investigate your cousin, the black market might also be affected. I don’t know if it can still be open in the future. I quite like the black market!”

“Sister Ai Ling, why don’t we go to the black market tomorrow and see if we can find some good stuff!”

“How much money do you have left? You’re still thinking about going shopping. How can you make ends meet?” Geng Ailing felt distressed when she thought about how Fan Hua could spend money.

“I still have more than twenty dollars here, Sister Ailing, you should still have about a hundred dollars, don’t worry, it’s enough for us to make a profit!”

Geng Ailing was speechless…

It turned out that she was after her money. But she didn’t seem to mind Fan Hua’s behavior. Instead, she felt like her own sister was not polite to her. She thought she was crazy!

After a good night’s sleep after dinner, Fan Hua got up before dawn. With the help of the weak incandescent light, Fan Hua took a four-fold sketch card and drew a few popular clothes that could be made with the existing fabrics at home, and wrote a few big words on it:

——When you put on this dress, even your love rivals will be unable to resist praising you for being pretty!

After Geng Ailing got up, Fan Hua first asked Geng Ailing to change into the new clothes she had made yesterday, and then cut a piece of light blue cloth from the pile of scraps that matched the color of the clothes to make a headband. She braided the headband and her hair together and let it hang to one side, making her look intellectual and gentle.

Fan Hua looked at Geng Ailing’s somewhat dark yellow skin, applied some snow cream that she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative on the first day she arrived here, and used charcoal as an eyebrow pencil to lightly brush the ends of her eyebrows a few times before nodding with satisfaction.

“It’s really beautiful, but it’s a pity that I don’t have lipstick, otherwise it would be more beautiful if the lips were brighter!”

Geng Ailing curiously took out the small round mirror she had brought from Fanjia Village from her bag and looked at herself. She opened her mouth in shock. Is this still her? How could she be so beautiful?

“Let’s go, Sister Ailing, let’s go to the black market. Today you will be my real-life model!”

“What the hell, what is a model? Do you want me to wear this today? No, such a nice dress, what if it gets dirty? Isn’t this for Aunt Jiang?”

“Sister Ai Ling, didn’t you notice that your dress fits you better today than it did yesterday? Because I’ve changed it to your size. From now on, this dress is yours. As for Aunt Jiang, we can just make her a new one later!”

A warm feeling welled up in Geng Ailing’s heart. She hadn’t worn new clothes for a long time, let alone such beautiful clothes! Geng Ailing’s eyes instantly turned red…

When Fan Hua saw Geng Ailing’s expression, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed her, “Okay, Sister Ailing, it’s just a piece of clothing. When we make money in the future, we can wear nice clothes every day! Let’s go to the black market to make money!” Fan Hua said excitedly.
