Chapter 212: Employment

 Chapter 212: Employment

"Hmm?" Ah Xiang glanced at Fu Xiang Di with confusion. Shu Yu's expression turned serious. "Aunt Ah Xiang might not have heard, but our family opened a shop in the county town. It's a ready-to-wear clothing store. Currently, my mother is the only one sewing in the shop, and there are only a few pieces of clothing left. So, we are thinking of hiring someone to work in the shop." Ah Xiang and Fu Xiang Di's eyes widened slightly. Could it be what they were thinking? Is it? The next moment, Shu Yu's words confirmed their speculation. "My mother thought of Aunt Ah Xiang right away and said you were the most suitable candidate. That's why I came to find you today, to ask for Aunt Ah Xiang's opinion." Ah Xiang became somewhat excited and immediately grabbed Fu Xiangdi's hand, uncertainly asking, "You mean... hire me to sew?" "Yes, but before that, I'd like to see Aunt Ah Xiang's skills, if you don't mind." Ah Xiang nodded immediately. "Of course, I don't mind." Shu Yu unpacked the bundle she had brought with her. "I have a piece of fabric here and a simple clothing sketch I drew myself. I want Aunt Ah Xiang to make a child's garment based on it and see the result." Ah Xiang nervously took the sketch from her. Shu Yu's drawing was simple, just one style. Ah Xiang seemed to understand but had a few more questions about the details. Once Shu Yu explained, she immediately grasped the concept and rolled up her sleeves. "I'll start right away." "Good." It was just a simple piece of clothing. Shu Yu mainly wanted to assess the stitching, attention to detail, and Ah Xiang's understanding. Two to three hours would be enough. Ah Xiang no longer hesitated and quickly took the fabric into the room, bringing out her sewing basket and preparing for cutting. Fu Xiang Di helped her on the side, but after a while, she looked up and saw Shu Yu sitting alone, feeling a bit guilty. After thinking for a moment, Fu Xiang Di went to the kitchen and brought back some wild berries she had picked on the mountain. They were fresh, and she washed them before placing them in front of Shu Yu. "Sister Lu, have some berries first. Mother and I will be done soon." Shu Yu nodded. "Thank you." Fu Xiang Di smiled and quickly went back into the room. Both mother and daughter were skilled in their actions. Ah Xiang cut and sewed while Fu Xiangdi assisted. Their cooperation was seamless, and they worked quickly. As a result, the garment was finished much earlier than Shu Yu had anticipated. Before long, the clothing was placed in Shu Yu's hands. Shu Yu had drawn the sketch according to San Ya's measurements and finalized the style based on her facial and body shape. The finished product now was exactly identical to her drawing, flawless. Shu Yu scrutinized it for a while, paying particular attention to the stitches and other details, finally satisfied, she put it away. "It seems my mother was right. Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship is indeed excellent." Ah Xiang let out a sigh of relief. She was a bit nervous because she was afraid she had made a mistake somewhere, even though she had checked it already. She was still worried. Upon hearing Shu Yu's words, she finally felt relieved. "That's good to hear." Shu Yu sat up straight. "Well, let's talk about the compensation and main issues regarding the work now." Aunt Xiang pursed her lips and, still uncertain, asked once again, "Are you really deciding to hire me?" "Of course, you passed the test." (End of this chapter)
