“Yeah, this material is really good and the style is nice.
Did this skirt cost a lot?” The other girls gathered around when they saw someone start talking to her.

The boys weren’t happy anymore.
Why were the girls gathering around? What were they looking at?!

“Wen Cai Er, can you stand up and let us see it clearly? The skirt is really pretty.
I want to buy one too.”

Wen Cai Er was a little flattered and hurriedly stood up to let everyone see the skirt.
She then said, smiling, “I didn’t buy the skirt.
My mum made it for me.”

“She really made it? Auntie is so talented.
I like it! However, you are so beautiful and look good in everything.
I don’t dare to wear the same clothes as you,” said a girl.

The other girls also hesitated.
Yes, if they wore the same clothes as Wen Cai Er, weren’t they just asking to get humiliated?

When Wen Cai Er saw this, she was a little flustered.
After thinking about it, she hurriedly said, “Actually, my mum specially designed this for me.
If you don’t like the exact same style, you can ask my mum to tailor it to you.
But, it might cost more.”

“Price is not a problem as long as it isn’t the same as other people’s!” a girl with a lot of money said.
“Cai Er, what is the name of auntie’s tailor shop? We can go together after school.”

The rest of the girls agreed and some female students with a normal background thought that it didn’t matter if it was the same piece of clothing.
They could just not wear it at school.

Wen Cai Er nodded.
“Okay, let’s go after school!” She was very happy.
Not only did she get some business for the family, but she and the female students in the class had become closer.

Everyone joked around for a while before going back to their seats.

Wen Cai Er sat down and looked in her cubbyhole.
As always, there was a lot of stuff in the hole.
Wen Cai Er just wanted to pretend like they weren’t there, but she remembered her mum’s words.
She bit her lip and then put the items in an empty table at the end.
She then sat back down in her seat and pulled out her homework.

The boys were a little weird and the girls were a little sceptical.
What happened to Wen Cai Er today? Didn’t she like these small items? She managed to hook so many idiots.

Wen Cai Er seemed to have forgotten all of this.
She was intently reading her book.

At this time, a boy from outside the class walked to Wen Cai Er’s desk.
“Cai Er, I bought an extra glass of milk this morning.
Please drink it!” He handed over the glass of milk.

Wen Cai Er shook her head.
“Thank you, but there’s no need.
I bought some earlier and will drink it later.”

The boy didn’t believe it.
Wen Cai Er took out the bottle of milk from her bag.
“I really bought it.
Thank you for your kindness.”

That boy returned angrily.
Wen Cai Er continued to read.

The girls wondered what happened to Wen Cai Er today.
Did she come to her senses?

After the second period, Wen Cai Er remembered Wen Yuan Mo’s words.
After a moment, she got up and went to the junior high school.
She received attention from many people along the way.

Wen Cai Er stood at the door of the seventh class of the first year and knocked on the door.
“Excuse me, is Wen Yuan Mo here?”

The noisy class suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Wen Cai Er.

Wen Yuan Mo stood up and walked over with many envious male eyes on him.
“Older sis, what did you need?”

Wen Cai Er was stunned.
Did she need an excuse to find her younger brother at the junior high department?

Wen Yuan Mo shook his head helplessly.
He didn’t know how to adapt or what to say.
He pulled Wen Cai Er to the side.
“Why are you so stupid? I just asked casually.”

Wen Cai Er remembered what he said earlier.
She then recounted to Wen Yuan Mo about what happened in the morning.
“Was it okay for me to say that?”

Wen Yuan Mo’s eyes lit up.
“That is a good idea.
I saw on the internet that private customisation is a good idea! Okay, when school is over, head over slowly.
I will discuss with mum how to set the price.”

“Oh, okay.” Wen Cai Er nodded.
“That’s okay.
I’ll leave first.”

After Wen Cai Er left, Wen Yuan Mo was immediately dragged back to his seat by a few classmates.
“Hey, why did our family come to find you?”

“She is my older sis, my older sis!” Wen Yuan Mo shouted with a sense of crisis.

“Aiyah.
Don’t be like that.
We are all good brothers.
Your older sister is my older sister.”

“Hey, you are three years younger than my older sis.
My older sis doesn’t like you!” Wen Yuan Mo said, disgusted.
He hated the kind of people who treated the brother well in order to get to the older sister.

“Wen Yuan Mo, your older sister’s skirt is really pretty.
Do you know where she got it?” a girl asked as she walked over courageously after being influenced by her friend.

Wen Yuan Mo saw that there was business coming, so he immediately pushed away his friends and enthusiastically greeted them.
“The skirt my older sis was wearing was made by my mum.
My mum has good craftsmanship and she has many other beautiful clothes in her shop.
You can check it out.
It is number 360, Li Hua Lane.
The shop is called Er Hua Chun Feng.
If you like anything, please mention my name and say you are my classmate.
My mother will give you a discount.”

The girl wrote down the address.
She smiled, nodded, then walked back quickly.

Wen Yuan Mo smiled triumphantly.

After school, Wen Yuan Mo was the first to rush out of school.
He grabbed his bag and hurried to the tailor shop.
Li Su was changing the clothes in the store.
There was a backlog of completed clothes made by the original owner.
The materials were good, but the styles were too old and nobody bought them.

Now that Li Su was here, it was natural for her to make drastic changes.
In the morning, 7-8 sets were changed.
When Li Su saw Wen Yuan Mo coming, she continued working.
“Why are you here so early today? Here is fifty yuan.
Go to your Aunt Chen’s house and order some dishes.”

“Don’t worry about that now.
Mum, listen to me,” said Wen Yuan Mo as he threw his schoolbag to the side.
He told her about his idea in the morning and then asked, “Mum, what do you think of my offer?”

Li Su was a little surprised.
Was Wen Yuan Mo this clever? It was very thoughtful.
She naturally knew what custom ordering was, but she still had to test Wen Yuan Mo.
“I understand what you said about the customised order, but is the price a bit high? Five hundred yuan? The clothes in Ren Da Mall are only three or four hundred.”

“Aiyah, mum, you don’t understand.
Rare things are expensive! What is a custom order? It is unique! It is worth the price.
Let me tell you, there are a lot of rich people here.
As long as your craftsmanship is good and you have new styles, people will be willing to spend money!” Wen Yuan Mo said anxiously.

“Yes, yes, you are the head of our family, so I’ll listen to you, okay?” Li Su smiled.

Wen Yuan Mo was immediately proud.
The head of the family.
He liked this title.

“Shouldn’t your sister be back at this time? Why hasn’t she come back?! You should hurry and check on her,” said Li Su.

“Aiyah, I deliberately asked older sis to come later,” Wen Yuan Mo said nonchalantly.

“But she’s late? It’s been almost twenty minutes.
Go and see,” said Li Su, worried.

Wen Yuan Mo checked his watch and saw how quickly time had passed.
He saw a few female students in the store.
“Mum, I’ll go find older sis.
Remember to follow the arrangement we negotiated.”

“I know.
I’ll listen to you.
Now go!” Li Su urged.

Wen Yuan Mo hurried to school, only to see a few punks around his older sister at the school gate.
His older sister was being guarded by a few girls.

Wen Yuan Mo was anxious and rushed forwards.
“What are you doing?! Older sis, what’s going on?!”

“Yuan Mo, what are you doing here?”

Wen Cai Er was surrounded by gangsters, but she was not flustered.
First, she had often encountered such things since she was a child and was long used to it.
There would be heroes who would come forward to save a beautiful girl.
Secondly, her female classmates stood up and spoke for her.
It surprised her, but she was grateful.

“You haven’t come back yet, so mum is worried about you.
Let me see you.” Although Wen Yuan Mo was only 12 years old, he was not short.
He was about 1.72 m tall.
He faced the punks without fear.
“What do you want to do?”

The scoundrels were about to talk, but a teacher emerged from the school.
“Leave now, or I’ll call the police!”

The scoundrels smiled a few times at Wen Cai Er and the female students before they fled in all directions.

The teacher came over to take a look.
When he saw that it was Wen Cai Er, he smiled.
A girl like Wen Cai Er, who was pretty, had good grades, and was well-behaved was popular with the teachers.
“Oh, it’s Wen Cai Er.
It’s okay.
Pay attention next time.
Don’t go alone.”

“Yes, thank you, teacher,” Wen Cai Er said obediently.

After the teacher left, Wen Yuan Mo went to the group of girls.
“Thank you for taking care of my older sis.
Thank you!”

“It’s no problem.
We were just walking by.
By the way, Wen Cai Er, were you going to your mum’s shop? We were about to go and have a look,” one of the girls said.

Wen Cai Er nodded.
“Yeah, thank you very much for today.
If you have any clothes you like, I will ask my mum to give you a discount.”

“We’ll look first!” Several girls walked forward, talking and laughing.

Wen Cai Er was very pleased with the kindness her female classmates had shown her.
She looked at Wen Yuan Mo apologetically and turned to talk to her classmates.

Wen Yuan Mo touched his nose.

When they arrived at the entrance to the store, a few girls looked at the name of the store.
“Er Yue Chun Feng1 is such a nice name!”

Wen Cai Er smiled softly.
“Dad named the store. ‘I don’t know who cut the willow leaves, but it turns out that the spring breeze in February is like scissors in the hands of a skilled craftsman.’2”

“Your dad is very talented.
What does he do?”

“My dad was just a truck driver when he was alive, but he read a lot,” Wen Cai Er said softly.

“I’m sorry.
We didn’t know.”

“It’s okay.
My dad passed away many years ago.
Let’s go in.” Wen Cai Er smiled slightly.
In fact, Wen Cai Er and Wen Yuan Mo didn’t have much of an impression of their dad.
They only remember that he was often away from him and came back once in a while.
When he was back, he mostly slept, and then went out to drink and play mahjong.
