Chapter 32
After returning to the village, Mrs. Wu went to sleep without even eating lunch.

After lunch, Xu Lingyue poured out all the rags.

Categorize them one by one.

Surprisingly, there are quite a lot of leftovers from high-quality fabrics, some are quite large, and some are relatively small, barely enough to make a small purse.

In addition, there are more stained fabrics, and they are all quite large.

She planned to try her hand with a piece of ordinary fabric first, after all, she hadn't done needlework for a long time, so she was still a little raw.

She still has needlework in her room, but...

At this time, she finally realized a big problem, that is, she didn't buy sewing thread.

Although there are still threads, but not many, and the color is relatively single, you can't use black thread to sew pink cloth.

It seems necessary to go to town again.

Xu Lingyue couldn't help sighing, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and complained in her heart: I'm so out of my mind, I only think about cloth, why didn't I think that making a purse requires thread!
She turned out the original owner's sewing box and looked at the threads inside. There really wasn't much, and there were only two or three colors, which was not enough.

Forget it, let's talk about it after using it first, at worst, ask the eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law.

As a result, the piece of cloth she picked at the beginning was not suitable, so she picked another piece of cloth of the same color.

Cut out the shape first, leaving some edges for sewing later.

It is very simple to make a purse, that is, to sew two pieces of cloth together, but this is too simple, so Xu Lingyue wanted to show a pattern on it.

If it's too complicated, let's embroider an orchid, which is more in line with this light blue cloth.

I thought it would take a long time to embroider, but I turned out to be very proficient once I started.

She knew that this was the skill inherited from the original owner.

After a while, a lifelike orchid appeared in front of her.

A purse was quickly embroidered, and Xu Lingyue felt a sense of accomplishment immediately.

In the next step, she plans to show the purse to Xu's family, and let them evaluate it, so that she can figure it out and set a better price.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Mrs. Liu.

Unfortunately, the first person to evaluate her purse came.

The other party was obviously still a little afraid of Xu Lingyue, he lowered his head and called weakly: "Ah, Ah Yue."

Xu Lingyue handed her the purse and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, how about this purse?"

Seeing her change of attitude from the past, although Liu Shi was a little strange, she still took the purse and looked at it.

After looking carefully for a while, Liu asked, "Ah Yue, did you do this?"

Could it be that this sister-in-law has a sweetheart, otherwise why did she suddenly start making purses? It also makes sense that she has suddenly changed her temper in the past few days.

Liu Shi secretly glanced at Xu Lingyue with a strange expression, and muttered something in her heart.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Liu misunderstood, who told Xu Lingyue to embroider a blue purse, and she seemed to be a different person in the past few days.

Xu Lingyue nodded, and said with a serious expression, "Well, I'm going to sell it."

When she heard that she was selling it, Liu Shi was a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect her guess to be wrong.

Fortunately, I didn't ask, otherwise I would have been ridiculed by my sister-in-law.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Liu thinks this way, compared to the sister-in-law in the past.

Mrs. Liu thought for a while, and then answered her: "An ordinary purse on the market is about two pennies a piece, but yours is better in workmanship, so it can be sold for three pennies."

After hearing that it was only two or three words, Xu Lingyue was immediately discouraged.

This money is not enough to buy two steamed buns. Is the ancient handwork so worthless?

After a pause, Mrs. Liu continued to say: "However, if you replace it with a better piece of fabric, the price can be increased by one more."

Before she got married, the Liu family used to sell embroidered purses to subsidize the family, so she was quite familiar with the market here, and Xu Lingyue was the right person to ask.

Who told Xu Lingyue to be short of money now, even if it was cheap, she had to prepare it and sell it.

But she has changed her mind now. Originally, she wanted to make it more common and popular, but now she decided to make it more refined and unique. Anyway, she must have her own characteristics. In this way, the price can be increased by one more add.

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a while, and finally asked ruthlessly: "Ah Yue, look, can you add me to the matter of selling purses?" She looked ashamed, obviously knowing that it was not good to ask like this .

Seeing her asking this question, Xu Lingyue hesitated for a moment.

Indeed, multiple people and multiple helpers.

Besides, her second sister-in-law seemed to understand these things quite well, and she might be able to help her.

Seeing that she remained silent, Liu begged with some humility: "Ah Yue, second sister-in-law is begging you, I don't want much money for this sale, you can give as much as you want."

Speaking of which, why did Liu Shi suddenly want to sell purses together with Xu Lingyue?

It's not because of those two badly married girls.

After all, this marriage was arranged by Liu Shi alone, so they didn't live well, and Liu Shi felt guilty.

Especially Xu Rou, the second daughter.

At that time, Xu Rou already had a sweetheart, but the Liu family couldn't resist her natal sister-in-law's request. Besides, if Xu Rou didn't marry Xiuwen, Xiuwen might be a bachelor for the rest of her life.

In this way, the Liu family forced her to die, and Xu Rou was filial, so she had no choice but to bid farewell to her lover at that time and marry into the Liu family.

Mrs. Wu did not agree to this marriage at the beginning, so she told Mrs. Liu several times in private, but Mrs. Liu did not listen to the persuasion at all.

Mrs. Wu went to ask Xu Rou, but Xu Rou replied that she was willing to marry, but Mrs. Wu didn't care about it.

What Liu was thinking was to earn some money for Xu Rou to spend next to her. She happened to meet this girl and a few grandchildren when she was in the town last time. It's a pity that she was so thin. My lord is better. The child was sallow and thin, and he didn't know how long he hadn't had enough to eat.

As a mother, can Liu not be distressed, not to mention that this is caused by her, so she feels even more guilty.

Xu Lingyue naturally didn't know this.

After thinking about the pros and cons, she decided to agree to Liu's proposal.

Then, she smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, in this case, go to my room and get some fabrics."

The implication is to agree.

Liu Shi was overjoyed immediately: "Ah Yue, thank you."

Xu Lingyue thought for a while, and then said, "Of course, we should make it clear about the money first."

She also took precautions in advance. After all, it was a matter of interests, and her brother was still clear about the score. She was also afraid of causing trouble in the future, so it was better to make it clear from the beginning. Although Liu Shi said so, there are infinite possibilities for what she said. It's better to settle down.

Liu Shi nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
