The rain persisted intermittently for five days, leaving the streets muddy and few willing to venture outside.
Business at the Li Family's clothing shop on Guan Dong Street had been equally bleak these past few days.
The elderly granny had poor eyesight, but her skill in making clothes was indisputable; she could thread a needle with her eyes closed.
"We haven't sold many clothes these days."
The daughter-in-law of the Li Family replied, "Once the weather clears, more customers will come."
She bowed her head to embroider, yet she was never satisfied with the finished product. Her rough fingers touched the petals.
"It's partly because I'm slow-witted."
"Yu's embroidery skills are truly impressive, full of spirit. I asked her for advice back then, yet after all these years, I'm still not half as good."
She hasn't mentioned this person in a long time. Speaking of her now, she inadvertently became absent-minded.
The Li Family and the Yu Family lived not far from each other.
