Yuan Yu: "..."
"Girl, it’s okay, clothes need to be washed anyway." Yuan Yu thought the girl was too meticulous and felt a bit sorry for her.
The girl really understands things.
Before long, the girl had washed clean and came out wearing a new outfit. Yuan Yu, thinking about how the girl’s fair skin would look, had deliberately chosen a red coat and a durable black sweater, making her skin look rosy and extremely beautiful.
"Really beautiful."
Yuan Yu stepped forward, re-tied the girl’s ponytail, and said with satisfaction, "This looks much better. The clothes Sun Rou picked really suit you."
"Sister Yuan." The girl nervously touched her new clothes and asked, "Are they expensive?"
"Not at all. Girl, you’ve already called me sister. How can you dislike it when your sister buys clothes for her younger sister?" Yuan Yu said deliberately.
The girl shook her head vigorously, saying, "Sister Yuan, I really like it."
The girl lowered her head, looking at these beautiful clothes, her eyes filled with joy.
"There are still a few more sets, why don’t you try them?"
Yuan Yu handed more clothes to the girl. The girl asked blankly, "Are they all for me?"
"Yes." Yuan Yu nodded affirmatively and said, "Don’t worry, all your little friends also have new clothes."
Indeed, Yuan Yu had bought clothes for all the children in the village, big and small. Of course, the other kids received clothes in a different way; she bought a lot in bulk, allowing the children to choose from various sizes, making sure none were left without the right size due to her shopping.
"Sister Yuan." The girl was too excited to know what to say.
Very soon, Yuan Yu became the center of attention, dividing up clothes among the children. Each child received three pieces, and everyone was grateful to Yuan Yu. Yuan Yu politely said, "These past days, thanks to everyone’s care for me and Tang Jun, these clothes are just a small token of my gratitude."
Yuan Yu’s words embarrassed most of the villagers. Tang Jun and Yuan Yu were mostly taken care of by Fat Aunt and Grandpa Miao’s families, while the rest benefited by association.
"Oh, and I also bought books for everyone. They will be kept at Grandpa Miao’s place, so if you want to read, you can go there. But remember, everyone must take care of the books and not damage them."
Yuan Yu reminded them, and all the children’s eyes lit up, rushing to Grandpa Miao’s house.
Yuan Yu unpacked the books one by one. With nowhere else to put them, they were moved to a cabinet in the girl’s room. The brand new books were placed there, and everyone was very excited.
Yuan Yu stayed with the children as they took out the books to read. Without prompting from Yuan Yu, everyone was very mindful about taking care of the books.
Tang Jun listened to Yuan Yu’s busy voice, his lips unknowingly curling up into a smile. They made the right choice; the children loved the books and new clothes.
Lian Qingyang turned his head to look; the light in the room was dim because it had just rained lightly. Yet, under such lighting, Yuan Yu’s profile appeared serene and gentle.
"Little Jun, hurry up and marry her home. If you lose her, you’ll regret it later." Lian Qingyang whispered in Tang Jun’s ear.
Tang Jun’s smile froze as he said, "Lian Qingyang, can’t you think of anything else?"
Having just had acupuncture, Tang Jun didn’t feel tired at all.
After Grandpa Miao finished the acupuncture, he casually went off to inspect the delegation.
Fat Aunt and everyone else together prepared dinner for Tang Jun and the delegation. The children, having received their clothes, went back clutching their books, and the adults were all grateful to Tang Jun and the others.

...
Wangjiang City, Qianjin Village, was filled with joy.
In contrast, over in Jing City, in Fan Ming’s house, Shen Qingqing had been closely following news about Tang Yue. Upon hearing the news, Shen Qingqing had smashed things at home several times.
Bang.
The servants exchanged glances; the lady was angry again, smashing such good things; what a pity.
Everyone thought this but no one dared to speak to Shen Qingqing.
The child Shen Qingqing was carrying was very important to Mr. Fan; they were hired to take care of her, and dared not say anything against Shen Qingqing.
They just secretly felt sorry for the things Shen Qingqing smashed.
"How infuriating!"
Shen Qingqing shattered the teacup in front of her, but it wasn’t enough. She smashed whatever she saw and tore the newspaper into shreds, muttering, "Why? Why does she have everything handed to her easily, as if the wind is always in her favor?"
Shen Qingqing was so angry, she was panting heavily.
Tang Yue was already moving onto the international stage, and her fashion designs were becoming more popular. This meant Tang Yue’s fame was growing larger and larger.
"Ah..."
Her stomach hurt.
