Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 506 The minister is his own uncle, how could he not help?

Two days later in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Gao's father did not manage to bring Gao Ziyou back to Ning City. Chu Xin heard from Zhou Yichen that the two father and son had so much trouble that they had practically severed ties.

Gao's father was too biased towards Gao Ziyang, and he was unwilling to make a big deal out of it. In the end, he did indeed alarm the old commander of the Gao family, and the case ended in a murky way and was left unresolved.

Whether Gao Ziyang will be punished after returning is unknown, but Gao Ziyou is determined not to go back.

After hearing the result from Zhou Yichen, Chu Xin felt rather disappointed. "Sigh, I should have expected this result. It's a big family, after all. Nothing is more important than face."

The gossip she had been following had stalled, and Chu Xin, having nothing much to do, tidied her desk and prepared to leave work.

Liu Yanli from Gansu Province called to say that she had something sent over today and asked me to pick it up at the train station.

Chu Xin pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what to bring for herself. It wasn't until she received a large package from the flight attendant that she had a clue.

This bag is huge, half hard and half soft, it looks like it contains dried goods and... clothes?

Chu Yunting was waiting outside the train station. Seeing her carrying such a package, he was extremely curious. He opened the car door first, waiting for her to come over, and asked:

"What is this? It's not like we're going to give you a blanket when the weather is already warm, is it? That doesn't make sense. Chen Ping wrote in her letter that she would give me a big surprise."

After Chu Xin put her things on the back seat, he closed the door and continued muttering to himself:

"Besides, she and Aunt Yanli are in different provinces, one in Jiangsu and the other in Shaanxi. How did they manage to match up like this?"

Chu Xin opened the passenger door and got in. "I figured it was clothes. Those two must have come up with something good. We'll find out when we get back."

Chu Yunting thought it made sense, and decided there was no rush. He got in the car and drove home.

Li Xiu was preparing lunch with Aunt Zhang when she saw them return, and she was quite surprised. "What happened? Why are you back at noon today?"

Then he quickly instructed Aunt Zhang, "Make enough food for two more people."

Chu Yunting placed the large package on the sofa, with Ge You lying beside it like a boneless man. "Didn't Aunt Yanli say there was a package? We brought it back and delivered it to our house."

"Wow, what's all this? Why is it such a big bag?"

Li Xiu was also quite surprised by the large package. Life in Su Province was already difficult enough, so why were they sending things to the capital?

Chu Xin found some scissors, untied the ropes binding the package, and quickly opened it.

Just as she expected, there were quite a few clothes, a large portion of which were local specialty dried goods.

She stared blankly at the top of the collection, a silver-gray, glossy silk Tang suit for elderly women. "Did they make clothes for everyone? Has Aunt Yanli made a fortune by making so many clothes of this material?"

What material surprised Chu Xin so much?

As Li Xiu pondered, the person arrived and was equally startled by the clothes inside.

"Oh my, this is made of silk fabric woven from silkworm silk, isn't it gorgeous?"

Chu Xin found two more letters among a pile of clothes. She put the one given to her by her husband and wife away and opened the other letter, which was addressed to everyone.

She quickly scanned the contents and her smile deepened. "Auntie, Aunt Yanli is not only not a bad person, but her future will only get better and better."

He handed over the letter, saying, "Please take a look."

Li Xiu took it with suspicion, and after reading only the beginning, she exclaimed in surprise, "Is this real? Oh my, if it's true, that's wonderful!"

Chu Yunting's curiosity was piqued by their conversation, so he sat up straight and craned his neck to read what the letter said.

His focus was completely different from the other two. "Hehehe, my partner is really amazing. She's accomplished such a big thing in such a short time. Impressive!"

Li Xiu slapped his head away, "Go away, I haven't finished reading yet."

Chu Xin took out all the clothes on the other side to take a look.

She believed that Liu Yanli had put a lot of thought into preparing these clothes, including light-colored silk fabric, which was rare due to the scarcity of dyes, and there was only one of each.

The letter said that it was a shirt that Wen Xue made especially for Chu Xin.

Chu Xin unfolded the clothes and examined them closely. The stitches were neat and meticulous, indicating that they were pressed out using a sewing machine. This step was completed by Liu Yanli.

Since there were no sewing machines on the farm, Wen Yan was responsible for cutting the fabric for the entire garment.

The finished product from their collaboration not only fits perfectly, but the details on the waist, neckline, and shoulders show that they put a lot of thought into it, adding eye-catching touches to the plain fabric.

After reading the letter, Li Xiu looked up and saw the dress. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful! I don't know how they dyed it, but it really suits your skin tone. Young girls like you should dress more brightly. If you dress like us women all the time, it's either gray, indigo, or black. Even if you're young, it will make you look old."

Chu Xin was also happy, "Auntie, don't be jealous. Aunt Yanli said that she will arrange for you to have enough dye once she has saved up enough."

"Haha, yes, yes, I saw it too. I'll just wait for her to give it to me later. But I'm not jealous. My clothes may not be as nice as yours, but they're definitely not bad either."

Li Xiu laughed and joked with Chu Xin, and then began to check all the clothes one by one.

Liu Yanli used all the silk fabric that Lu Hu had accumulated during his years running the black market, making summer clothes not only for the people there, but also for everyone in Kyoto, who each had more than two pieces.

Grandpa Guangchu had three sets of Tang suits in three colors, and he also had two pairs of cloth shoes with multi-layered soles made.

Besides the shirt, Chu Xin also had a gray shirt and two pairs of black pants.

Since Li Xiu doesn't work, she not only pays attention to comfort but also fashion and looks when it comes to clothes. Liu Yanli made mostly dresses for her, and also made a small blazer, which is very different from the styles that Chinese people usually wear nowadays. The design with a cinched waist and padded shoulders is quite rare in China.

But that would be too common in a port city.

Chu Xin's eyes flickered slightly as she watched.

Li Xiu was absolutely thrilled with the clothes she was given. She looked at the suit again and again; the waist was so slender, the shoulders so broad, and paired with a knee-length skirt and high heels...

She thought of the large bundle of newspapers Chu Yunting brought back from Hong Kong, which mentioned some novel he was following. She didn't understand, but she immediately took a liking to the women's outfits printed in them.

Unexpectedly, she now owns such a suit. The smile on Li Xiu's face never faded. Even though the suit was too fashionable to wear out, she was still happy.

Because of her lover's death, she shut herself off, lived a hard life, and caused her family to worry.

Now that she has let go of her past regrets and is looking forward, she has discovered that there are so many people around her who bring her joy and care, which is truly touching.

Li Xiu's face was visibly happy. Chu Yunting, not caring about his clothes, grabbed the letter and moved closer to her.

"Mom, you like these fabrics and clothes too. So, shouldn't you offer some advice and support regarding Chen Ping's idea of ​​setting up a silk supply factory for the production team, as mentioned in the letter?"

His maternal family, his mother's family, are absolutely in the same boat when it comes to this matter.

The minister in charge of the Ministry of Textile Industry is his own uncle; how could he not help him?
