26 Chapter 26 Reunion with an Old Friend_1

This winter was supposed to be the occasion for making a new padded jacket for Qian Manxia. Over the past two years, Qian Manxia had grown quickly, and her jacket had become too short, extended over and over for another year. This year, it wasn't just short, but also tight. As a young girl in her prime, she looked on with envy every time Qian Mandie got new clothes.

Previously, Lady Wu had promised to make her a new one, but now with the reality of their finances, she could only apologize and say to the young girl, "Auntie Xia, let your sister-in-law take the old jacket apart and add some padding."

Qian Manxia nodded understandingly and said, "Okay. Sister-in-law is skilled with her hands, and even the altered old jacket will look good."

Qian Yijin said from the side, "Granny, use my cotton for Auntie. I'm a boy, new clothes don't bother me." Except for food, the little lad showed awareness of putting others before himself in every other aspect.
