Chapter 184: Chapter 184 New Idea

Tang Zhengde’s eyes went straight; he had always known that Zhang Hualian was beautiful. As a girl, she was exceptionally well-known in the neighborhood. If it hadn’t been for the setback due to the "sent-down youth" movement and the subsequent pregnancy, there would have likely been a line of suitors at the Zhang family’s threshold.

Years had passed, and though Zhang Hualian’s face now bore a few wrinkles and showed signs of aging, in his eyes, she remained the most beautiful.

Now, the Zhang Hualian before him seemed to transport Tang Zhengde back to his youth, to the very first time he laid eyes on her beauty and was captivated.

Tang Yue snickered quietly and slipped away, leaving the space for Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde.

"You’re so beautiful," Tang Zhengde said with a wide grin, and in his eyes, there was room for no one else but Zhang Hualian.

Surprise filled Zhang Hualian’s eyes. It was clearly her daughter standing outside the door just a blink ago, yet now it had become Tang Zhengde.

"Ah." Before Zhang Hualian had a chance to speak, Tang Zhengde swept her into his arms, his gaze brightly admiring her.

Zhang Hualian’s face instantly flushed red, and she busily pushed him away, saying, "Xiao Yue is still here."

Tang Zhengde hurriedly looked around; there was no sign of Tang Yue in the room. He chuckled, "Hehe," and said, "Hualian, Xiao Yue is very sensible. Look, has it not been a long time since we were intimate?"

During this period, everyone had been too busy, collapsing into sleep as soon as they could.

Zhang Hualian couldn’t help but swallow, objecting, "No, it’s still broad daylight."

"We’ve never tried it before," Tang Zhengde insisted, hugging Zhang Hualian and carrying her inside, locking the room behind them.

Outside.

Tang Jun was about to go in to get his homework when Tang Yue hastily stopped him, "Xiao Jun, why don’t we go to Uncle’s factory? You see, I’ll have classes tomorrow, so shall we go check it out today?"

"It’s almost evening, and you want to go?" Tang Jun glanced at her, his look seemingly asking, won’t we go home for dinner?

"Let’s go, we’ll eat at Uncle’s factory." Tang Yue dragged Tang Jun away with a bit of force, making sure to close the door behind them.

Tang Jun asked, "What about Mom and Dad?"

"They’re busy. If they don’t see us, they’ll naturally come to the factory looking for us," Tang Yue rapidly explained, her lips curling into a proud smile. In the past, she disliked seeing her parents being affectionate, but now, she wished that Mr. Tang would love only her mom for the rest of his life.

So, with such a good opportunity to enhance their parents’ affection, only a fool would refuse.

Tang Jun had been to Mingyue Clothing Factory many times before, so he knew his way around well.

As soon as they entered the factory, he began to play around.

When Tang Mingli saw Tang Yue, he was quite surprised and asked, "Didn’t you go back? Why have you come again?"

"I came here to eat. What, Uncle, you’re not welcoming?" Tang Yue asked with a smile.

"Whenever you want to come, you’re welcome to. After all, you own thirty percent of this factory," Tang Mingli said while meticulously checking the inventory in and out. There was no warehouse manager in the factory, so it was necessary to personally ensure that everything was accurately accounted for.

This was especially true for the fabric inventory and the amount of goods produced, which all needed to be clearly checked.

"Uncle, you can’t keep on doing this forever. Otherwise, if you’re the only one doing all these tasks, you won’t be able to finish them. How about hiring someone else to manage the warehouse?" Tang Yue suggested.

Seeing that the stock was continuously increasing, if it continued this way, they would probably become too busy to handle it all.

Not to mention when it’s the end of the month, every transaction needs to be recorded in detail, and there’s even more to do.

"Um, I’ve thought about it, and Uncle Ding has also talked to me about it, but I don’t know who to hire, which is quite troubling," Tang Mingli sighed. Ever since the factory started paying wages, even more villagers were looking to him for a job at the factory.

It was fine for the women, as they could work on the sewing machines, but for the men... it was not so easy to arrange.

In the factory, there aren’t many tasks suited for male workers.

"The warehouse manager could be a man, though women tend to be more meticulous," Tang Yue pursed her lips, unsure about this. She asked, "By the way, how is Zhu Yuanchao’s wife doing at the factory?"

"Not bad, she learns quickly and works diligently and steadily. With Brother Zhu at the factory, I feel much more at ease," Tang Mingli praised Zhu Yuanchao. Zhu Yuanchao was in charge of the factory’s security, and he would even patrol the premises at night, let alone during the day.

"That’s true, people introduced by Brother Qi are also pretty good," Tang Yue agreed, adding, "Sister Deng is great too. She can pretty much handle my designs all by herself."

"Tang Yue, you don’t need to worry about this. Rest assured, I’ll handle it. Besides designing clothes, just focus on your studies," Tang Mingli said earnestly. "If your grades drop, your second brother will come to me first."

Tang Yue: "..."

It was dinner time, and neither Tang Zhengde nor Zhang Hualian came to eat, but it was very late when Tang Zhengde came to pick up Tang Yue.

"Second Brother, are you celebrating something today?" Tang Mingli looked at Tang Zhengde with suspicion, as his face seemed to be beaming with joy.

"Is that so?" Tang Zhengde tried to prevent Tang Mingli from noticing anything and kept a stern face, but the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn’t be hidden.

Tang Yue guessed what had happened and was also holding back her laughter.

"Xiao Jun, you’ll sleep here with Uncle tonight, and you mustn’t make trouble," Tang Zhengde changed the topic, instructing Tang Jun.

Tang Jun waved his hand and said, "Dad, don’t worry. I’m not a three-year-old kid. How could I possibly make trouble?"

"Cough, Dad, you should take me back to school tonight," Tang Yue also said, and when leaving, she took all her belongings with her, ready to go to school and give Zhang Tingyu her pajamas.

"Okay," Tang Zhengde agreed, while asking her if she brought everything she needed.

Back at the dormitory, the light in Zhang Tingyu’s room was still on. Tang Yue gently knocked on the door, and Zhang Tingyu immediately came to open it, exclaiming with surprise, "Xiao Yue, I thought you would come over tomorrow."

"I had nothing else going on today, so I came over. Besides, I finished sewing the clothes," Tang Yue lifted the bag she was carrying.

Zhang Tingyu’s excited little face leaned in and saw Tang Yue pull out the pajamas. The striped fabric, through Tang Yue’s hands, looked exceptionally nice, and the pure cotton felt particularly soft and comfortable in hand.

She immediately went to her room to change into it. The loose pajamas were especially comfortable to wear, giving her a feeling of being less constrained.

"Xiao Yue, these clothes are really comfortable to wear at home," Zhang Tingyu couldn’t put them down, her smiling face never stopping.

"Hm, it would be even more comfortable without wearing a vest," Tang Yue suddenly said, her eyes suddenly lighting up. Nowadays, everyone wore vests, and even brassieres were very plain without much style.
