Quick Wear: She Became the Beloved of the Short-lived Male Supporting Character

Chapter 130: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character in Farming Literature (13)

Jiang Wan picked up a pearl from his hand and spoke to him from a different angle.

"We have no power right now. If we sell this kind of good stuff, it will be easy for bad guys to target us. If they find out your little secret, I won't be able to protect you. So, let's wait for a chance in the future."

He then reluctantly put it away.

Jiang Wan went up the mountain with him every day, looking for herbs and digging mushrooms. If they were lucky, they would catch a pheasant or a rabbit. After two months of hard work, plus the silver she had secretly saved before, she only managed to save five taels of silver in total.

This amount of money is already a considerable amount of savings for an ordinary family, but it is not much for Jiang Wan, who has seen a lot of money.

She didn't want to travel far away.

Jiang Wan inquired about some caravans going to the capital. They could promise to escort her safely to her destination, but they would ask for ten taels of silver.

Now, let alone living there for a period of time, it is difficult to even raise enough money for the travel expenses.

Jiang Wan even wanted to rob houses for money at night.

After much thought, she decided to give up the plan of going to the capital for the time being. It would be better to gain a foothold here first before considering other things.

Jiang Wan visited the town for many days and determined that it was difficult to start with food, so she set her sights on clothing.

She could directly draw patterns and make some special garments, but for someone who grew up in the village and had rarely seen the world, if she rashly drew good paintings or made some novel and unique clothes, she would probably arouse suspicion from others.

After careful consideration, she decided that becoming an apprentice in an embroidery workshop might not be a bad idea.

And not everyone can become an apprentice. If you want to enter an embroidery workshop, you must first have bright eyes, nimble hands, and a smart mind.

Once you enter an embroidery workshop, you don't have to stay. You just need to learn some basic embroidery skills. After a month, there will be an assessment, and you will be able to take orders with lower requirements. Only if both the employer and the boss are satisfied, you can stay.

Jiang Wan's embroidery skills were not very skillful, but she had a lot of ideas in her mind. Coincidentally, the owner of the embroidery workshop, Xuniang, also opened a ready-made clothing store. The employer was not satisfied with the custom-made dress, so she came to the embroidery workshop to ask Xuniang for an explanation.

Jiang Wan gave some advice, helped to adjust a few stitches, and added some embellishments, making it look much more decent and delicate than before.

Seeing that she had a talent for making clothes, Xuniang arranged for her to work in a garment shop without waiting for the assessment. She made her an apprentice with two tailors in the shop. After three months of apprenticeship, she would be able to become a craftsman in the garment shop and could find her own employer. At that time, her monthly salary would also increase a lot.

When it was time to go home, Jiang Wan had just put down her work when she heard her master's teasing laughter, "Xiao Wan, put down your work and go back. It's late, and who knows how anxious your husband will be."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others started laughing.

They were talking about seventeen.

On weekdays, Seventeen would send her to the clothing store, and wait for her outside the store when it was time for her to go home. One time, Jiang Wan forgot the time while drawing, and Seventeen came in anxiously looking for her. Since then, people in the store would often make fun of Seventeen.

Jiang Wan blushed as she listened to their laughter. She said something to the shopkeeper and walked out.

Today is her last day as an apprentice, and she will be able to officially start making clothes tomorrow. She was thinking about buying some wine and meat to celebrate.

Usually, Seventeen would squat under a locust tree not far from the clothing store waiting for her, but Jiang Wan did not see him under the tree today.

Maybe he was delayed by something.

She knew that he would definitely come given his stubborn personality.

Jiang Wan was worried that she would miss him if she left, so she stood under the tree and waited. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the man hurried over.

When he saw Jiang Wan, he gestured anxiously, saying that he had just fallen on the way here, which was why he was late.

There was indeed some mud on his body, so Jiang Wan took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.

"Are you injured?"

No.

He said silently.

Seventeen was reluctant to dirty the clean handkerchief, so he waved his hand to refuse and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. The moment he raised his hand, a flash of forbearance flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Wan didn't notice anything was wrong with him, and gently wiped the stains on his cheek with a handkerchief. "I've told you so many times, I'll be waiting in the store. It's okay if you come a little later. Don't rush. You also have to pay attention to your safety."

Feeling the gentle force falling on his face, his eyes curved into crescents and he nodded randomly.

Knowing is one thing, doing is another.

Jiang Wan knew that this person was stubborn and that it would be better to talk about some things after returning home.

"The shopkeeper told me that tomorrow I will be a real tailor from an apprentice. I will have the opportunity to make clothes and sell them in the store. When I have my own customer base in the future, I will need to pay my wages. To celebrate my successful stay, let's go buy some food first."

Jiang Wan went to get some wine first, then bought some pork, and also bought some flour. Seventeen carried all the things he bought. Jiang Wan noticed that his face didn't look right, and he looked a little tired from carrying the things. Just as she was about to help him share some of the burden, she saw the wine in his hand suddenly fall off and fell to the ground with a thud. Half a jar of wine was gone.

I can't pick it up even if I want to.

Seventeen's face changed. Jiang Wan noticed his trembling fingertips and grabbed his hand regardless of his attempt to dodge.

Hearing him gasp and seeing his face suddenly change, Jiang Wan asked in a deep voice, "Did you hurt your arm when you fell?"

He nodded hesitantly.

Jiang Wan wanted to take him to the clinic, but he refused.

Only when he saw Jiang Wan’s angry face did he follow her to the clinic.

His injury was still on his shoulder. The doctor took him behind a screen and wanted to undress him to check his injuries. Jiang Wan was waiting in the outer hall. The doctor said it was nothing serious and took some medicinal wine specially used to treat bruises and asked him to go back and apply it.

After returning home, Jiang Wan asked him to take off his clothes so that she could see the wound on his shoulder.

Seventeen blushed and said that she could apply it.

Jiang Wan forcefully stripped him of his clothes.

He was like a wounded young wife, with tears in his eyes and red cheeks, huddled in a corner.

Jiang Wan didn't have the heart to appreciate his good figure. When she saw the large red and swollen area on his shoulder, she raised her hand and poked it hard.

His face turned from red to white, and his muscles tensed up in pain.

Jiang Wan was not soft-hearted at all. She asked with a straight face, "Show me how you fell to break your shoulder like this?"

He insisted that he was injured in a fall and even wanted to demonstrate to her how he fell.
