Chapter 109 Exclusive Family Rules
Xiao Fu obediently inserted the hairpin into her hair, tilting her head so that Wei Dongning could see it more clearly.
Wei Dongning nodded in satisfaction: "How much is this hairpin?"
"Twenty coins."
"Xiao Fu, give me the money."
Every time Wei Dongning goes out shopping, she feels like a domineering CEO.
Xiao Fu was her personal secretary who always stayed by her side.
If she takes a liking to something, just call out "Xiao Fu" and she'll come and pay for it.
This feeling is absolutely amazing.
Since experiencing it once, Wei Dongning has fallen deeply in love with this feeling.
So every time she went out, she would give the purse containing her money to Xiao Fu to carry.
After hearing Wei Dongning describe this feeling, Xiao Wu seriously considered these things: "According to you, a housekeeper is equivalent to an HR person, and a human broker is like the current job market?"
"Tell me, isn't that a vivid description?"
"Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me."
Xiao Wu tried to find the difference between them, but finally found that there was none.
Moreover, if Ningbao is a domineering CEO, then it resides in Ningbao's consciousness, so by all accounts, it is also a domineering CEO.
Thinking about it, it's quite exciting.
After paying, Xiao Fu wanted to take the hairpin off.
Wei Dongning stopped her again, saying, "Wear it. It would be such a waste not to wear such a beautiful hairpin."
Xiao Wu suddenly realized: "Is this why you change your jewelry every day?"
"Yeah, you didn't just realize that, did you?" Wei Dongning was a little surprised: "I thought I usually made it pretty obvious."
Can I say I thought you were fickle and easily bored?
Xiao Wu really hadn't thought about the aspect she mentioned.
It turns out it was overthinking things.
Wei Dongning wanted to tell everyone that if she didn't find it too heavy, she would have loved to stick it all over her hair.
She has so many beautiful pieces of jewelry; it would be a waste to leave them lying quietly in a jewelry box.
She likes her jewelry, but she can't show it because she's heartbroken.
After browsing around, Wei Dongning has not yet found a gift she likes.
As we approached a small furniture shop, a sudden inspiration struck me, and I led Xiao Fu inside.
The shopkeeper, who was working, put down his work and greeted them with a smile: "What would you two like to have made? We can make wooden beds and cabinets."
Wei Dongning, with her hands behind her back, looked around the small shop: "Shopkeeper, I'd like to make something, about two feet long and half a foot wide, with serrated protrusions on it. I wonder if you can make it?"
"This... I've never heard of this before. I wonder if you have a copy so I can take a look?" The shopkeeper hesitated.
Seeing that the young lady was dressed very elegantly, he really didn't want to let this opportunity to make money slip away from him.
"May I borrow paper and pen?"
"Of course, please follow me, madam."
The shopkeeper led Wei Dongning to the table where he usually drew sketches, prepared paper and pen, and stood to the side.
Although Wei Dongning cannot paint, she can still draw simple sketches.
They drew the shape of a washboard on paper and even thoughtfully marked the dimensions.
The shopkeeper took the painting, and in just one glance, he understood how to make it.
He said confidently, "No problem. This looks very simple. If you're not in a hurry, I can make it right now."
Wei Dongning likes doing business with straightforward people like this: "Of course, I happen to be free anyway. The serrations shouldn't be too sharp, a little rounded out."
She just wanted to play a prank; she didn't really intend to cripple Su Yizhuo's legs.
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement: "Yes, madam, please wait a moment."
Wei Dongning walked to the rest area he had prepared for the guests and sat down, watching him pick out a plank of wood that matched the size she wanted from a pile of timber.
She secretly thought to herself that Su Yizhuo would be "moved" to tears when he saw the gift she had carefully prepared.
Just thinking about it is exciting.
Xiao Wu noticed Wei Dongning's thoughts and his lips twitched: "I think he'll sing a song like 'I moved heaven and earth, but how come I can't move you'."
Xiao Fu looked at Wei Dongning's sketch and was very puzzled: "Miss, what is this?"
"What this thing is is not important." Wei Dongning smiled mischievously. "It will be Naonao's exclusive family discipline from now on."
"Ah, but isn't it a bit too stingy to use ordinary wood as a gift?"
"No, trust me."
She knows Su Yizhuo all too well.
If he saw that it was a washboard, he would probably just throw it into the fire pit.
Using the finest wood would be too wasteful.
Besides, it was just a prank gift.
A real gift should be carefully chosen.
Otherwise, if word gets out, it won't just be the Gu family that loses face, but also the Hou family.
She doesn't want to become famous in this way for the time being.
Watching the shopkeeper skillfully cut the wooden board, Xiao Wu silently lit an electronic candle for Su Yizhuo in his heart.
Having a sister like Ningbao must have made his life incredibly challenging.
Making a washboard is not difficult for a carpenter.
In no time, a brand new washboard was born in his hands.
When the item was handed to Wei Dongning, the shopkeeper couldn't resist asking, "May I ask, Madam, what is this item used for?"
"Ah, it's nothing, just something I dreamed about," Wei Dongning said with a laugh.
She didn't know what else a washboard could be used for besides washing clothes and as a household discipline tool.
She didn't invent the washboard either, and she never thought of stealing someone else's invention and claiming it as her own.
Protecting original copyrights is everyone's responsibility.
Although the shopkeeper was puzzled, he still smiled and said, "This item is quite unique. Perhaps the lady will find a useful use for it someday."
Wei Dongning smiled gratefully: "Thank you."
Thank goodness he didn't press her further, otherwise she probably would have been racking her brains here.
To avoid drawing attention to what she was carrying, Wei Dongning asked the shopkeeper to find some useless pieces of paper to disguise it.
She was planning to invite Su Yizhuo and Zhong Shuyue to dinner when Su Yizhuo was less busy, and then give him the gift.
I also taught Zhong Shuyue how to use it.
As for the real gift, let her think about it for a couple more days.
Anyway, there's still some time before their wedding.
Not urgent.
When Wei Dongning returned to the mansion, it was not yet lunchtime.
To strengthen her resolve to lose weight, she resolutely asked Xiao Fu to put away all the snacks.
Shopping inevitably takes a toll on her energy, and she was starving.
"You said yourself that you drink water when you're hungry." As her "personal trainer" supervising her weight loss, Xiao Wu was very impartial.
Wei Dongning couldn't even sneak a bite.
He held the water bottle and poured it into his mouth with a mournful expression.
"I want to go to the kitchen and take a look at the dishes for lunch today."
"It's okay to draw a picture of a cake to satisfy hunger, but it's not okay to steal it."
"Don't worry, I won't steal any food! You stay in your room, I'll be back in a bit."
Trusting her, Xiao Wu returned to the cat's body.
Unexpectedly, Wei Dongning played a word game with it.
Enraged, Xiao Wu jumped onto Wei Dongning and gave her a light punch on the shoulder: "You promised not to steal food!"
