Chapter 210 Concerned for Her
During this period, exports consisted of the highest quality items; goods converted from export to domestic sales were in high demand.
Moreover, even though they were discounted, because only the best items were eligible for export, the prices didn’t come down much.
Luo Xiuyu was the first to take out her wallet, "This trench coat is very pretty, it must be expensive, right? How much is it per piece?"
Luo Xiuyu valued prestige the most and was also the least willing to take advantage of others.
Once Zhang Qiaoqiao heard Luo Xiuyu ask about the price, she too looked at Mengyu, "Mengyu, this piece of clothing is too precious, we can’t just take it for free."
Qin Xiufang nodded as well, "Qiaoqiao is right, Mengyu, you brought them back for us, we can’t let you suffer a loss. Let’s pay the original price."
Liu Yumei stiffened up. Her husband’s family was having financial difficulties, and it would be a stretch for her to spend money to buy it.
Jiang Mengyu was pleased with everyone’s reactions, "What are you saying, sisters? If I charge you money for the clothes I’m gifting you, can it still be considered a gift? Everyone, please take your clothes, or else I’ll be upset.
Also, I have never hosted a meal for everyone since I arrived. Last time I couldn’t buy much food, so let’s all have dinner together tonight."
She then realized that she hadn’t consulted Gu Dongxing about inviting guests over.
She quickly turned to Gu Dongxing, "Brother Gu, is that okay?"
After greeting all the family members, Gu Dongxing had taken up a newspaper to read on the side.
He was happy to see Mengyu fitting in with everyone because the more she interacted with people in the courtyard, the easier it would be for her to integrate into the life there, and her status as his fiancée would be more secure.
Therefore, when he heard Mengyu offering to host dinner, he immediately became happy, "Sure, bring your family heads along too. Also, we should invite a few of the company commanders."
Mengyu rolled her eyes, she had only intended to invite the other women, but he promptly increased the number; was he treating her like unpaid labor to network on his behalf?
However, she couldn’t really say no. After all, this was his territory.
The family members were naturally delighted; how often could their husbands have the opportunity to dine at the factory director’s home? They hadn’t expected that getting close to the factory director’s fiancée could pave the way for their husbands.
Even Luo Xiuyu, who didn’t want to take advantage of others, stopped quibbling. Everyone took the gifts and when they left, they each promised to come over later to help.
After Gu Dongxing made the offer, he realized that there wasn’t enough food at home and looked at Mengyu apologetically, "I’ll go buy some groceries right away."
Mengyu gave him an exasperated look, "By the time you come back with groceries, the day lilies will have gone cold."
She went to the kitchen and took out a bag of 30 jin of rice, a bag of 10 jin of flour, a piece of pork belly weighing four jin, two jin of lean beef, two chickens, two ducks, two fish, and some vegetables, and placed them all in the kitchen.
Gu Dongxing, who followed her into the kitchen, was shocked to see rice, flour, meat, and vegetables appear out of nowhere, "Xiao Meng—"
He was shocked when Mengyu made that small iron box of treasures disappear last time, but seeing a large amount of food appear out of thin air, he was struck with amazement again.
He knew she had a secret. But he had thought that at most, she could make a small object disappear, not that she could produce so many items.
When Mengyu agreed to visit his mother as his fiancée, she had decided to give him the storage bag.
She shook the storage bag, "Has anyone ever told you that in this world, there is a storage item called a storage bag?"
As an Ancient Martial Cultivator, Gu Dongxing naturally knew of such a thing as a storage bag, but even among Mountain Sect People, it was rare to possess one.
How did Mengyu acquire it?
Moreover, even the closest people kept such a treasure a secret, and she just let him see it—what kind of trust did that represent?
The fact that Mengyu shared such a secretive secret with him, did it mean that she now considered him her closest person?
But while he was touched, he immediately began to worry about her.
