Chapter 88: Chapter 88: After Raising a Child and Getting Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled Rotten 8
[He is the chosen one of this plane! Keep up the good work, Host!]
“Good morning, Mr. Qin,” Su Zhiruan suppressed the surprise in her heart and pushed the two children beside her in front of Qin Lianqi, then looked up. “The housekeeper downstairs said to leave them with you.”
“Mmm.”
The young man responded faintly, his voice casual, his looks truly extraordinary. Even in such an environment, he seemed distinguished and aloof, not like a primary school teacher at all, more like a young nobleman.
“There are two empty seats on the far left of the classroom, you can sit there,” Qin Lianqi said in a flat and emotionless voice. The two children were very happy about the opportunity to study, so they went into the classroom one after the other.
Su Zhiruan remembered the basket she was carrying on her arm and quickly took it down, handing it to the ethereal Mr. Qin in front of her, “Mr. Qin, please accept these. There’s not much to offer from a rural home, but even this modest gift carries our sincerity.”
...
A cloth covered the bamboo basket, and underneath, it was possible to see the round and smooth eggs.
Qin Lianqi simply glanced at it and showed no intention of accepting it.
His gaze returned to the girl’s face.
She was pretty, especially her eyes, which seemed to always carry a smile, giving off the impression that she was kind and gentle. A thick braid hung down her back, tidy and clean. She was beautiful, and if not for the calluses on her hands and her thin, bony back, she might have even resembled a star.
“Take these back with you. The school has a canteen, and I have my meals there,” Qin Lianqi pushed the basket back towards her. He then seemed to casually ask another question, “You don’t seem old. Are you still in school?”
Su Zhiruan thought about the original owner’s circumstances; it wasn’t something that couldn’t be shared, so she frankly replied, “I am sixteen, and I’m not in school right now.”
Qin Lianqi looked intently at her, “Why not go to school, send your brother and sister to study, and not go yourself?”
His voice was mild, and his overall demeanor gave off a feeling of laziness and ease. He didn’t stand straight at the entrance to the classroom; rather, he leaned casually against the wall, his clothes clean and carrying the fresh scent of saponin.
“I plan to self-study at home, to take the college entrance exam in two years.” Su Zhiruan was ready to register for high school that afternoon and then go home to think of ways to make money.
For her, the college entrance exam decades in the future was something she could recite backwards; her professional knowledge was even simpler. As for the recently reinstated college entrance exam, she was not worried that the questions would stump her.
The pressing matter was to make money. Seizing this opportunity, she needed to earn money quickly to move out of this place and take care of her brother and sister and to get closer to Qin Lianqi in front of her.
For now, she just wanted to leave a good impression and didn’t plan to approach him deliberately.
If you want to get close to someone far superior to yourself, you should first narrow the gap between you and them, rather than try to drag them down into the mire.
“Work hard and study well.” Qin Lianqi didn’t say much else, indicating he understood, then stood up straight, his eyes deep as he looked at her, indifferent and detached, “Don’t worry about these two kids. What’s your name?”
“My name is Su Zhiruan.” Deciding to adopt a new name, she directly told Qin Lianqi her real name.
“My brother is Su Zhishu, and my sister is Su Zhiying,” these names were the result of a collaborative effort that morning when Su Zhiruan brought her siblings.
When the sister heard that she could change her name to Su Zhiruan, she jumped three feet high with joy, liking the interplay of soft and hard sounds, she wanted to be called Su Zhiying.
All three of them laughed at that moment, and Su Zhiruan herself wrote down their new names in their notebooks: her sister Su Zhiying, and her brother Su Zhishu.
Qin Lianqi nodded.
Su Zhiruan thought for a moment and, after saying goodbye, directly stuffed the basket of eggs into his hands. Qin Lianqi, taken aback, suddenly found himself holding a basket of eggs.
Originally, he wanted to catch up with Su Zhiruan to return the basket, but she ran too quickly. He only chased after her a few steps, watching her figure from a distance.
Forget it.

In the following days, Su Zhiruan’s life gradually got back on track.
After paying her tuition at the high school, she returned home.
Li Meihua no longer wept in the past few days. She tidied up the house every day, waiting for Su Zhiruan to bring her brother and sister back home.
Su Zhiruan told the villagers that all three of them had changed their names. At first, whether it was Li Meihua, their mother, or the ordinary villagers, all found it somewhat difficult to adapt to the new names. Once, Su Zhiruan by chance saw her sister trying hard to correct an older villager who called her by her new name.
Later, everyone gradually became familiar with the names Su Zhiying, Su Zhishu, and Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan cleaned out three rooms at home. In one of them, she set up a table. During the daytime, when she didn’t have to pick up her siblings, she would stay home and draw and design, using cloth tickets and money to buy some cloth to keep experimenting.
“Ruanruan, what is this?” Li Meihua came in to clean the room, saw the table full of fabric, and paper with unfamiliar images that looked like it could be a piece of clothing. She asked, looking it over, “Is this a new piece of clothing?”
“Mother, this is a new piece of clothing I designed. It’s now popular in big cities to wear these, they are called blouses, like a skirt,” Su Zhiruan explained, taking a piece from the table to show.
Li Meihua stared in amazement, not having imagined that clothing could be worn like this!
She picked up Su Zhiruan’s design sketches, observing the straight shoulders, the nipped-in waist, and the proper traces and angles.
Undoubtedly, this piece of clothing could exhibit the gentle beauty of the female form.
However, she had her doubts, “Ruanruan, wearing this on the street, I feel people would think it’s indecent…”
Su Zhiruan picked up the sketch, sighing quietly to herself. When drawing the design, she had already considered the times and didn’t dare to make the skirts too short; even the shortest reached the knee. Still, Li Meihua thought they were too short.
“In a few more years, just a few more years, fashion will enter a new era. Then, the streets will be filled with youthful, free girls, not worrying about what to wear because of others’ opinions, more confident in showing their beauty.”
Su Zhiruan’s decision to pursue fashion was because in this era, free from the old colors of black, white, and grey, clothing would see a variety of fashion trends emerge.
Although she had not formally studied fashion design, in her previous life after marrying Lu Peijin, he was dedicated to buying her the latest seasonal items and even acquired a fashion company directly. Working within the system, she had certain strict requirements for dress, and in her previous life, her aesthetic appreciation for clothing had greatly improved.
If one could say, with the ideas about clothing and new insights in her head now, then besides herself, there was no one else!
