Chapter 728: Difficulties
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shen Sitian raised her head and looked at her serious expression. She actually felt like she wanted to rely on her.
She was clearly older than Gu Yundong, but it didn’t seem to be of much use.
She lowered her head slightly and thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, “I’ve indeed encountered some difficulties recently.”
As she spoke, Shen Sitian took out a set of embroidery from her bag. “I spent more than two months embroidering this. I thought I could sell it for a good price, but who knew…”
It was fine if the price was lowered again and again. At most, she would not sell this set.
However, who knew that the cloth shop owners in the county city had communicated with each other and she could not sell her other embroidery work?
Since that was the case, she went to town.
However, the cloth shops in town were not very big. They wouldn’t purchase her embroidery work and could only take on small things like handkerchiefs.
If this continued, when would she be able to earn enough money to live alone outside?
She couldn’t possibly stay in the Gu family forever, right?
Gu Yundong frowned. If she remembered correctly, most of the cloth shops in the county were run by the Peng family, right?
To be able to unite several shops, it was most likely the shopkeeper of the Peng family.
Peng Zhongfei was a scumbag himself, and his subordinates were not good people either.
Gu Yundong could look for Peng Zhongfei, but she did not want to have anything to do with the Peng family. It was the same for Peng Zhongfei. After all, nothing good happened every time he saw her.
Gu Yundong opened Shen Sitian’s embroidery and her eyes lit up. She was stunned.
“Such beautiful embroidery. Surely, it can be sold for a good price.”
Shen Sitian thought so too. This was her hard work, but unfortunately…
Gu Yundong looked at it again and again. He smiled and said, “Since the people in the county city don’t know what’s good for them, take them to the prefectural city.”
“The prefectural city?”
“Of course, if you don’t go to the prefectural city, I can help you sell it.” Gu Yundong said, “Anyway, I have a shop in the prefectural city now, so I have to go back and forth often. Even if I’m not free, Tong Ping and the others have to deliver goods to the shop from time to time. You can ask him to help bring your works over. With your skills, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.”
Shen Sitian moved, but said, “Will it be too much trouble for you?”
“What trouble is there? It’s just a matter of convenience. If you’re afraid of trouble, just don’t refuse when I ask you for help later.”
“Of course I won’t refuse,” Shen Sitian quickly said.
“Isn’t that enough? Sitian, I think you should embroider such big pieces in the future. They can be sold for a lot of money. They’re much better than the ones you embroidered such as pouches and handkerchiefs.”
Shen Sitian thought so too, but she had just arrived at Yongfu Village and was not confident.
This embroidery was the first big piece she had tried. Unfortunately, she had hit a wall everywhere and was very discouraged.
Gu Yundong was already pondering which shop she should sell the embroidery to. During her time in the prefectural city, she had also visited a few shops.
Just as she was thinking, Tong An returned.
When he saw Shen Sitian sitting in the central room, he was slightly stunned and immediately lowered his head.
When Shen Sitian saw him, she hurriedly stood up and said unnaturally, “Yundong, I, I’ll go back to my room first. You have something to discuss first, right?”
With that, she left in a hurry. When Gu Yundong looked up, she could only see her back.
She frowned slightly. Why did she feel that Sitian was still hiding something from her?
However, there were always secrets. Since she was unwilling to tell, Gu Yundong could not force her.
Gu Yundong put away the embroidery work and looked at Tong An.
