CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181: A BRAVE MAN FEARS NO HARDSHIP

"So fast?"

Yi Chichi couldn’t believe it, it was too quick.

Wen Shi handed her the report and marital status document, "Did you bring your ID and such?"

"I brought them."

Without proof of introduction, you couldn’t go out or stay in a guesthouse.

Yi Chichi looked over the report, feeling rare anxiety.

"Are we really getting married?!"

What’s going on?

Was she not wanting to get married anymore?

He looked at Yi Chichi with deep eyes, seeing her hair still dripping, sighed, and resigned to drying her hair with a towel, but didn’t let it go, "I’m telling you, it’s too late to regret now. I’ve passed the political review, and the house has been approved. If you tell me you don’t want to marry, I’ll..."

He got stuck, Yi Chichi curiously asked, "You’ll what?"

Suddenly heated, he blurted out, "I’ll die to show you, and let you never find another guy as handsome as me!"

The previous line was threatening, the next was boasting, what a temperament.

Yi Chichi responded with a hum, closed her eyes, enjoying his service, skillful, neither too light nor too heavy, "An excellent man should be able to handle both the parlor and the kitchen, serve his wife... a strong core, stable emotions... and also..."

"Enough with the ’also’s."

Wen Shi felt if she continued, he’d be humbled to the ground.

However—

"I can strive to meet your standards."

And then he changed the topic, "Shall we get married?"

Good, the topic circled back.

"Yes! Get our marriage license tomorrow?"

She turned to Wen Shi, who looked down at her, "Tomorrow won’t work, I need to arrange some business first."

"Alright."

While talking, her hair was almost dry, Wen Shi took a comb to brush her hair; the shiny black hair still retained moisture, if not thoroughly dry, it might lead to headaches.

"Are you going to sleep now?"

"I’ll sleep after it’s dry."

"Then let’s talk."

"Talk about what?"

"Talk about future life and your plans."

That works too.

Since talking about these, can’t avoid the issue of whether to follow the army.

Yi Chichi pondered for a while, shook her head.

"I’m not at ease about Uncle and Aunt."

Wen Shi understood, "I’ll come back to see you and mom then."

"Actually, I can bring Aunt to see you, as long as Captain Uncle is willing to give an introduction letter, we can come once a quarter."

Wen Shi’s eyes widened, "Don’t you feel tired?"

"I don’t feel tired seeing you."

Yi Chichi sweet-talked effortlessly, "For you, I would climb mountains or go through flames, but it’s just from the Great Northeast to the island, nothing compares to seeing you."

Wen Shi knew these were just words to coax him, but he couldn’t help it, he fell for it.

As long as his wife was happy.

"Is your Guanyin embroidery finished?"

"It’s finished."

"Let me have a look."

Almost ready for delivery, he was a guarantor after all, had to inspect it for the client.

"Sure."

Then, Wen Shi saw the embroidered Guanyin.

Then, he was stunned.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Yi Chichi looked into his eyes, seeing the full admiration in them, she smiled, "Do you think it can pass?"

"Yes, definitely!"

The eyes of the Purple Robed Guanyin were so vivid, Wen Shi felt like he was being watched, his mind went blank for a moment, but he still responded immediately to Yi Chichi’s words.

"Your embroidery skills are flawless."

Simply extraordinary, he had visited the Yangcheng Friendship Store, saw a piece called the treasure of its counter at the embroidery showcase, a flower and bird embroidery.

With splendid colors and intricate patterns attracting the visual senses.

Leaving people in a good mood.

But his wife’s Guanyin embroidery, although not as glamorous as that flower and bird piece, exuded elegance and grace everywhere.

Facing Guanyin’s eyes gave a sense of sanctity.

"Better keep it safely, this thing is quite valuable."

That’s true, a 1,200-piece embroidery indeed holds value.

In today’s time, many dual-worker families couldn’t earn that much in a year.

Truly couldn’t afford to be careless.

She carefully put the Guanyin embroidery back, pulling Wen Shi to sit down, "Does the Friendship Store buy embroidery?"

The question stumped Wen Shi, he scratched his short hair, "I know the Friendship Store sells embroidery, but not sure if they buy."

Upon this, he realized something, "Are you planning to sell embroidery?"

Yi Chichi just smiled without a word.

He understood, no wonder she mentioned visiting him once a quarter before, turn out visiting him wasn’t the main reason, trying to connect with Yangcheng Friendship Store to sell embroidery was the key.

Understanding this, he felt a little sour inside.

Indeed, his wife wasn’t as fond of him as he’d imagined.

But it didn’t matter, a brave man isn’t afraid of challenges, as long as he worked hard, someday he would conquer the highest place in her heart.

Thinking this, he managed to cheer himself up.

"I don’t have connections at the Friendship Store, but someone does."

"Who?"

Wen Shi pointed to the stored Guanyin embroidery, "The owner of this embroidery, if you really want to get hooked with the Friendship Store, you can ask this person for help."

Yi Chichi instantly pulled a long face, "Why would they help me?"

Even if satisfied with the Guanyin, between her and the client were just a standard client-provider relationship, building a friendship takes time too.

It’s hard to ask.

Wen Shi didn’t think so, he smiled, "Others might not, but this one might proactively approach you after seeing the embroidery."

There’s a deeper meaning, after asking, it turns out this client has a brother who’s a manager at the Friendship Store.

Yi Chichi, "??? Since his brother is a manager at the Friendship Store, meaning he knows embroidery masters, why did he pay extra through Uncle Yaozi to find me?"

"Uncle Yaozi exaggerated your embroidery skills too much."

Although due to some policies, embroidery couldn’t be greatly publicized, it didn’t mean the art was completely cut off.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a dedicated silk drawing embroidery counter at the Friendship Store.

"Said you can embroider anything, top-notch technique, exceptional composition, unmatched coloring."

Recalling Uncle Yaozi pulling him and Old He to vouch with grand bragging, Wen Shi helplessly said, "You think the person sought you from afar just like that? Because his brother’s familiar embroiders are not good at embroidering figures."

But that’s not the point, the point is, "He wants a special embroidery."

In today’s time, embroidering a Guanyin carries risks.

Fortunately, his wife was far from here, if something went wrong, finding trouble with her would be difficult.

That’s the reason the person was willing to spend big on Uncle Yaozi.’

After sorting out the events, Yi Chichi was quite puzzled, "Why was he so adamant about the Guanyin embroidery, risking his and his brother’s future?"

"His mother believes in Guanyin, and the brothers are very filial."

No wonder.

Yi Chichi suddenly understood, feeling hopeful about this matter.

"Let’s see the situation on delivery day."
