1200: Grandma's Dream

Grandma's Dream

Embroidery was how grandmother to earn a living throughout her life.2

She was able to support her daughter and granddaughter through embroidery.

Embroidery was the only thing she could and wanted to do all her life.

"Can I still do it? I am quite old. I'm afraid my eyesight's gotten worse since then."

The grandmother was excited about the idea and thought she could definitely give it a try.

Ye Tianxin smiled sweetly. "Of course! Grandma, you still have me. I can help teach."

Ye Tianxin never backed down on her word.

She hesitated for a bit and said in a low voice, "Grandma, you see, the Capital is so big, yet not many people are from rich families. We should find some girls from low-income families to be students. It could be a useful skill for them."

Deep down, Ye Tianxin knew very well that, in Jiameng, many girls were born in families that preferred having sons.

Their destinies were set in stone since birth.

Ye Tianxin thought that she should help these girls.

Give a man a fish, and you've given him a meal. Teach him to fish, and he'll have food for a lifetime.

"In that case, Ye Tianxin, I would like to go back to Jiameng to start the class."

She was concerned that she could not effectively advertise Jiameng's embroidery in the Capital.

Jiameng's traditional embroidery belonged to Jiameng.

Even if it became popular across the world, it would have to originate from Jiameng, not the Capital.

"Grandma, how can Mother and I rest for sure if you go back on your own?" Ye Tianxin hesitated, "My mother is now old an pregnant. It would be too risky for her to go with you. I cannot go either since I'm a student."

Ye Linlang expressed the same concern. "Mom, that's a nice idea, but Tianxin said, she and I are here in the Capital. We cannot rest assured to let you go back on your own."

The grandmother waved her hands.

"Why are you so worried? The old house in our hometown has been well repaired. The courtyard is so big, I'd get lonely if I had to live there by myself. I can ask a few apprentices to accompany me there."

The grandmother thought about it for a while.

"Furthermore, I almost died the last time. God gave me another chance to live, so I should make my life worthwhile."

The grandmother suddenly made her decision. It was her dream. Even though she was old, she still wanted to pursue her dream.

"That would be fine then. When the time comes, I will find an assistant for Grandma. It would be a small case if we made a sale every time a piece of embroidery was made like it used to be. If we want to do it, we must first create a brand name for Jiameng embroidery."

Ye Tianxin sat next to her grandmother. She carefully thought it over.

"Grandma, we will create a brand name for Jiameng's embroidery. This way, the whole world will get to know how charming and fascinating it is."

Since we will do it, we will make the best out of it.

The best embroidery... the best brand name... the best advertisement.

Okay, I will listen to Tainxin."

The grandmother was so happy that did not even want to go shopping anymore.

"I do not want to go out anymore. I want to practice making embroidery. I have not done it for so long, so I may be pretty rusty."

Ye Tianxin took her grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, don't worry. You know that the most important thing for you to do now is to be a teacher in the future, right? We need to take you to see an ophthalmologist and let him tell us what we can do with your eyes."

"Okay."

When they went out, Qie Wang and Xie Xuning were still resting after getting so drunk the previous night.
