CHAPTER 637: CHAPTER 636: THE CLOTHING BUSINESS

After returning to the Bai Family with Bai Yong, the first thing Zhen Yu did after locking the courtyard and the house doors was to immediately call the little boy over and have him sit down beside her!

She wanted to confirm with Xiao Baiyong whether those past life memories that she had unearthed from the depths of her mind were indeed real!

"Xiao Yong, your sister has something to ask you! If you know the answer, tell me, if not, just shake your head, okay?"

Zhen Yu gently touched Bai Yong’s little head and asked softly.

"Okay! Sister, go ahead and ask!" Bai Yong nodded obediently, his smile somewhat shy.

When it was just him and Zhen Yu alone, he seemed to revert back to the slightly shy little boy he was before.

"I remember your sister often told me when she was little, a lot of the clothes and skirts she wore were made by your mom herself! Is that true?"

Bai Yong immediately nodded vigorously: "Mhm! Of course, it’s true! My mom is really good at making clothes!"

Zhen Yu smiled and continued to ask: "Has your mom made any clothes for you recently? Can you show them to your sister?"

"Yes! The pants I’m wearing right now were made by my mom with the newly bought fabric! Sister, look! Aren’t they pretty!?"

Bai Yong suddenly stood up, jumped to the middle of the living room, and proudly posed for Zhen Yu.

"Pretty!" Zhen Yu nodded emphatically, with a double meaning!

It seems her memories were correct! Mrs. Bai was indeed a hidden tailor who could make clothes!

With that, everything else would be easy.

The idea in Zhen Yuxin’s mind was actually quite simple! It was to start the clothing business she had been thinking about two years earlier!

Start it earlier on the schedule! This way she could bring Mrs. Bai along for the entrepreneurship! It was perfect since Zhen Yu was in need of a trustworthy helper!

Zhen Yu would be in charge of financing, providing fabrics, and designing, while Mrs. Bai would be responsible for the craftsmanship and management! That way, no one would take advantage of the other!

With their cooperation, Zhen Yu could lay the foundation for a physical store for her future online shop! Mrs. Bai could also get through her difficulties! Zhen Yu felt that as long as she proposed it, Mrs. Bai would probably not refuse.

However, in this era, platforms like Taobao had not yet emerged, and Hanfu was not yet popular! So, Zhen Yu could only adapt to the current trends and start with everyday clothing for the time being.

Firstly, set the framework, so that the store could always be updated with new products!

Initially, Hanfu could be used as a novelty in the store, introducing a few simple styles for display and accepting custom orders.

Besides, in the future, there would be a style of Hanfu known as "innovated version"! She could also consider starting with that to change people’s aesthetics...

——

As Zhen Yu was planning the direction to start her clothing business in her mind, Bai Yong suddenly grabbed her hand! Pulling her toward the door, he said, "My mom doesn’t only make clothes! She can make shoes, too! Sister, come with me..."

"Make shoes?"

As Zhen Yu was being pulled by Bai Yong to the shoe rack at the doorway, she noticed a pair of embroidered thousand-layer sole black cloth shoes placed on the top shelf. Black fine cotton cloth embroidered with red flowers and green leaves, the contrasting colors were quite striking and looked good!

"Look! These are the shoes my mom made for herself! She can embroider too!"

Upon taking a closer look at a shoe, Zhen Yu suddenly had an idea!

Making shoes? Embroidery? Wouldn’t this be a perfect match with Hanfu!

Wow! What a timely surprise! A one-stop shop for shoes and clothes! This could work!

And since Mrs. Bai already has a foundation in embroidery, why not let her learn some needlework too?

When she goes to the hospital tomorrow, she must ask Mrs. Bai for her thoughts...

Ever since the incident with Second Uncle Fu, Zhen Yu had learned a lesson—trying to help others with good intentions doesn’t necessarily mean good results will follow!

So now, she wouldn’t directly impose her ideas on anyone anymore, to avoid ending up with her kindness unappreciated.

While Zhen Yu’s mind was buzzing with thoughts, Bai Yong had already taken the shoe from her hand, put it down, and started to show her around the house! As they looked around, he said, "Sister, look! My mom’s knitting is also really good! This one is for my sister, and it’s not finished yet. She can also crochet seat cushions! And sofa covers! Look at our TV! The cover on it was crocheted by my mom too! And this round stool, look at the cover on it! That’s also my mom’s work! And this... and... In winter, the hats and scarves for my sister and me are also knitted and crocheted by my mom!"

After looking at each item, Zhen Yu felt that something new seemed to pop into her mind, but she couldn’t quite grasp it at the moment! It wasn’t until Bai Yong was nearly done showing her around and suddenly ran up to her holding a hat that she finally understood what she really wanted to do!

That was—to start a clothing business focusing on parent-child clothing!

Look at the hats for the sibling pair in front of her! One red and one green, how pretty!

Wait a minute! The green one seems a bit small, could it be for Xiao Yong...

---

After showing off enough, Bai Yong accompanied Zhen Yu back to the seats they had just occupied.

After some serious thought, Zhen Yu finally spoke up, "Xiao Yong! Sister has one last question for you, do you... do you like taking pictures?"

Since she was going to open a clothing store and build a parent-child brand, she definitely needed fashion models! Both Bai Xue and Bai Yong had excellent looks, and it would be even better if she could fully utilize them!

But first, she needed to seek the opinion of this little one beside her!

"Taking pictures?" The little boy’s fair and clean face suddenly blushed, and after hesitating for a while, he finally nodded honestly, "Yes! I like it!"

Zhen Yu couldn’t help but laugh at his pure reaction and couldn’t resist ruffling his hair...

Such a lovable little brother really was endearing!

It’s just too bad that her brother Zhen Yan, although quite lovable in character, was big and burly and his hair was not soft at all!

"Let’s go! Time to wash up! Go to bed early so tomorrow sister can take you for a morning run to the hospital!"

Bai Yong: "Ah?!"

"What’s with the ’ah’?" Seeing his dazed cute expression, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but give his short hair another ruffle. "Kids need to sleep early and wake up early to grow tall! Hurry up and show your sister where to brush teeth!"

Although the living space had everything, when Zhen Yu went out to buy dinner earlier, she still conveniently bought two sets of toiletries.

One set was left for Bai Xue in the hospital room, and she brought the other set over.

After all, they left in such a rush and brought ’nothing’ with them...
