The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Seeing Ding Yuejun and her daughter’s surprised expressions, Mr. Chu Zhang continued, "This time, we sent Hongyi over to see who could fully utilize the Chu’s needlework. We didn’t expect to find a descendant of Lan’er, and thankfully we sent Hongyi over, or we might not have found you."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle, have you always been looking for people who can do Chu’s needlework?"

Speaking of this, the old man said with some disappointment, "No, we didn’t particularly pay attention to embroidery before. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people know Chu’s needlework, so we remembered those direct descendants we lost track of over the years, thinking maybe one of them had learned this skill. That’s when we started paying attention to embroidery, and unexpectedly, we found you."

Beside him, Chu Feng also wore a face of regret.

"Learning Chu’s needlework requires certain talent, and almost none of the younger generation in the family can learn it. So, our Chu family is in a very awkward situation; a family known for embroidery, yet cannot show any newly advanced embroidery work. People in Shangjing are gradually noticing this, which led us to urgently find the direct descendants of the Chu family who were lost outside. Luckily, we found you."

Beside him, Mr. Chu Zhang also looked full of relief.

"Yes, Lan’er was the best embroiderer in the family back then, and indeed what she taught is exceptional. We’ve all seen the qipao you embroidered for Wu Yongcai. Although it doesn’t capture everything perfectly, you’ve achieved ninety percent of it. You are really exceptional, very talented." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Yes, the embroidery is really good, it’s the best of our Chu family."

Old Sir Chu Feng also chimed in with praise.

Seeing the two old men praising her, Ding Yuejun felt a bit embarrassed, but then thinking about eventually having to return with her daughter, she hesitantly said, "Uncle, we still have to go back to Houshan Town."

"Yuejun, don’t you feel comfortable staying at the Chu family home? Rest assured, everyone at home is nice. You won’t feel uneasy." Mr. Chu Zhang was eager to keep Ding Yuejun and her daughter, not only because she was Chu Lan’s adopted daughter, but also because of her exquisite embroidery skills.

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Uncle, Yiyi is still in her third year of high school, and my shop is also in Houshan Town. Our roots are there, so... we still want to go back."

Mr. Chu Zhang wanted to say something more, but Old Sir Chu Feng stopped him.

"Since Yuejun and Yiyi want to go back, let’s not force them. Besides, Yiyi is in her third year of high school, it’s a critical time, and she needs to prepare well for the college entrance exams."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle, for understanding."

"All right, I won’t say more, but..." At the end, Mr. Chu Zhang couldn’t help but look at Yiyi and ask, "Have you thought about which university you want to apply to?"

"I want to apply to Shangjing University, but I’m not sure if I can get in."

Hearing what Yiyi said, Chu Zhang became cheerful again.

"That’s great, when you come to Shangjing to study, you can stay at our home."

Beside him, Chu Feng was also full of joy, "Yes, then Yiyi can live at home." While speaking, he looked at Ding Yuejun and said, "Yuejun, when Yiyi comes to Shangjing to study, you should come too. Otherwise, can you really feel at ease leaving Yiyi alone in Shangjing?"

"Well... we’ll see when the time comes."

Initially, Ding Yuejun didn’t think much of it, but after hearing Old Sir Chu Feng, she thought it might be nice to come to Shangjing with them.

Although they didn’t manage to keep Ding Yuejun and her daughter, the two old men were still quite happy, because Yiyi would eventually come to Shangjing to study, and they would come sooner or later.

But thinking about the current state of the Chu family, Mr. Chu Zhang couldn’t help but look at Ding Yuejun and said, "Yuejun, could you help us embroider a large folding screen? Our Chu family hasn’t released any new large-scale embroidery pieces for a long time. Don’t worry, we won’t have you work for nothing."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun smiled and said, "Uncle, I will surely embroider it well."

Seeing Ding Yuejun agree without hesitation, smiles appeared on the faces of both Chu Zhang and Chu Feng, "It’s great that you agreed. Our Chu family doesn’t have to face this predicament anymore."

After finishing their conversation, Ding Yuejun took Yiyi out of the study.

"This child is good, indeed Lan’er had a keen eye for choosing such a good descendant. Yuejun is not only a descendant but also a successor of our Chu family. In the future, our family will rely a lot on her."

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, Lan’er always had a good eye. Why were we so stubborn back then? If a girl doesn’t want to marry, she doesn’t have to. Our Chu family wasn’t unable to support her."

"But it’s too late to talk about it now, let’s treat Yuejun and Yiyi well in the future."

Despite saying this, Chu Zhang was filled with remorse, firmly deciding in his heart to treat Ding Yuejun and her daughter well, as compensation for what was owed to Chu Lan.

Chu Feng also sighed along, but in the end, he said with a bitter smile, "Actually, it was good that Lan’er left the Chu family early. Our Chu family was quite turbulent in those years. Who knows what might have happened to her if she had stayed."

"Ah... yes, so let’s not think too much about it."

On the other side, after leaving the study, Jiang Yizi hurriedly stopped Ding Yuejun and Yiyi, "Yuejun, Yiyi, let’s go out for a stroll together later. You rarely come over, let me take you around properly."

"Then sorry to trouble you, Aunt."

Hearing her daughter’s words, Ding Yuejun also smiled and said, "Yes, then sorry to trouble you, Sister-in-law."

"It’s no trouble at all, I couldn’t be happier."

Jiang Yizi had a very positive impression of Ding Yuejun and her daughter.

She had been a bit apprehensive, fearing that the sister-in-law and niece from the countryside might be difficult to get along with, or that if they were too traditional, they might not be able to get along well here. But after meeting them, she realized she was overthinking; neither Ding Yuejun nor Yiyi had any faults in either appearance or demeanor. If she hadn’t known they grew up in the countryside, she would have thought they were city people.

As they agreed to go shopping together, Yiyi and the others prepared to set off after bringing money.

In the end, Le Hua and Chu Yuxiu also joined them.

"Yiyi, I heard the department store has some new clothing recently, shall we go and have a look later?"

"Sure."

Yiyi nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Yizi couldn’t help but laugh, "You young girls really have a lot to talk about, Yuxiu, take Yiyi out for some shopping. We three, being older, will leave you to it without joining the bustle."

"Sure, sure, I’ll take Cousin Yiyi shopping well."
