Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 24 The Big Purchase

"I make one set of clothes for each of my family, but I want two for myself."

Liu Man'er looked up at Ye Yuan and asked for his opinion. She really didn't have any clothes. Her clothes were so worn out by the original owner that she couldn't even tell the color. She could barely bear it before, but now she has money , She doesn't want to wear these tattered clothes.

"Yes." Ye Yuan didn't have another word, and readily agreed.

Only then did Liu Man'er laugh. She chose fine cotton cloth and coarse geene cloth for herself, and two sets for Ye Yuan, fine cotton cloth and linen cloth, "You often wear it when you go up the mountain, and the cotton cloth hurts when it gets scratched. Distressed."

"As you wish." Ye Yuan was just pampering.

He watched Liu Man'er settle the accounts, calculating what fabrics to buy and how much each person should buy. In the end, there were too many people in the family, and she was a little confused when calculating.

"I can't figure it out. Let's see and buy it. If you have more, you can get more, and if you have less, you can get less."

"En." Ye Yuan also nodded, in fact, it should have been like this a long time ago.

"Then buy a bolt of fine cotton cloth, a bolt of fine cotton cloth, a bolt of linen cloth, and a bolt of Gebu." Liu Man'er pointed to these cloths and said, "Maybe each of us can make two sets of clothes now. Yes, it can be used to make a quilt."

"En." Ye Yuan nodded again.

"Then can we fit our back basket?" Liu Man'er was puzzled, "I'm still going to buy cotton."

"Don't be afraid, you choose here, I'll go find a car." Ye Yuan said, and really went outside.

Liu Man'er had already picked out her things, she had nothing else to do, so she asked the proprietress where she could buy cotton.

It just so happens that the proprietress has it here, but it only costs five cents a catty, um, the price is the same as meat.

Although Liu Man'er was secretly dumbfounded, she still bought forty catties, which was enough to make several quilts, and everyone in the family had a bed, and no one was at a disadvantage.

And I finally got a little money, and I got it by frightening myself, so if I don’t make a big purchase, I’m sorry for myself.

While waiting for Ye Yuan, Liu Man'er chatted with the proprietress again, and only then did she know that the proprietress had a dead husband and was living widowed at home with a son.

Seeing her age, Liu Man'er was only in her 30s, so she couldn't help but sigh a little. The proprietress didn't feel sorry for herself. Instead, she talked about her son with great interest. Her son was studying in the school, and now she supported him alone. with this store.

Liu Man'er felt that she was quite good, so she couldn't help praising her, and then talked about her mother-in-law, Fang Shi, who had the same experience.

After listening to the people in Liu Man'er's family, the proprietress felt that these fabrics might not be enough for making quilts and clothes. Liu Man'er thought about it, and added another piece of fine cotton cloth to make the quilt cover.

This piece of cloth was about forty feet long, and at the end of the calculation, the cotton would cost one or two or three renminbi, which was a fraction of the twenty cents that the proprietress generously wiped out.

It cost a tael of silver to buy a silver hairpin just now, but now it only costs a tael of silver to buy some necessary fabrics and cotton at home. Liu Man'er feels that her road to wealth is really a long way to go.

There is still no food to buy. Now that she has money, she doesn't plan to eat those sweet potatoes that are already rotten. She plans to buy two piglets to raise, so that there are chickens, ducks, and piglets in the house. A qualified peasant woman.

The money was with Ye Yuan, so Liu Man'er asked the proprietress to wait, while she herself wandered around the shop.

Inadvertently found the rags piled up in the corner, Liu Man'er went in and looked through, there were cotton cloth, Ge cloth, and even some silk cloth, all of which were strips of tailings, Liu Man'er's mind instantly became alive, "Buying so many things, these Can a rag give me a head addition? The shoes I got home with mille-sols would be nice too."

The proprietress hesitated a bit, and said, "Originally, I would sell these by the catty, but today I have a chat with you, so I will give it to you."

"Thank you." Liu Man'er put the bag in the fabric she bought again.

Not long after, Ye Yuan came over, and after paying the money, Liu Man'er carried the things onto the bullock cart with him.

"Okay, let's take you to eat." Sitting on the bullock cart, Ye Yuan said to Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er nodded, but she was a little worried about her belongings, so she told the proprietress to leave them with her first.

The shops here are all set up with yards, and usually have yards at the back. The proprietress asked someone to look after the backyard for her, so she led Ye Yuan and others to her backyard, so that the cattle could be locked there first.

After saving the cattle, Ye Yuan enthusiastically invited the owner of the ox cart to go with him, but the owner of the ox cart was worried about his cattle and insisted on guarding them here. Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er had no choice but to give him some money For the money, let him go to the tea shed not far away to wait first, as his lost wages.

The owner of the bullock cart readily agreed, and went to a tea shed not far from the backyard. Liu Man'er also made an appointment with the proprietress, and happily went to the town.

After so much time wasted, she was so hungry that she didn't know how to write the word hungry, but when she walked to the street and smelled the fragrance, her greed was instantly mobilized.

Wontons, hot dry noodles, tofu, and various unknown snacks, steaming hot and fragrant, Liu Man'er really wanted to try them all, but she endured it.

I am really happy today, Liu Man'er went to the street to buy two catties of meat, some candied fruit, and some cakes from a pastry shop. As for rice noodles, she planned to go to the town to buy them.

Ye Yuan also let her go, Liu Man'er expressed her satisfaction at this point, she can spend money as she likes, fortunately she is not the kind of wasteful person, otherwise, this family would definitely be ruined by her.

Afterwards, Liu Man'er didn't forget to buy a lot of meat buns for everyone in the family to eat.

Carrying the things, he walked back happily, went to the tea shed to call the owner of the ox cart, and then went to the house of the proprietress of the cloth shop to bring the ox cart out, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan were finally on their way home up.

When riding the bullock cart at first, Liu Man'er felt that it was a bit novel, but later, she just felt that it was bumpy. Fortunately, she just bought cotton and cloth, and now she just put the cotton and cloth under her body.

Along the way, Liu Man'er got up early in the morning, but at the moment, she was a little sleepy. However, she couldn't fall asleep in such an environment. Just when she was about to fall asleep, the car hit a rock suddenly, and she woke up again. come over.

"There's still a long way to go, take a break." Seeing this, Ye Yuan got closer to her, he stretched out his hand, and pulled Liu Man'er over, so that Liu Man'er felt a little more comfortable, in a daze, really fell asleep.

When she woke up, she had already entered the village, and Liu Man'er was awakened by a loud noise.

When the people in the village saw Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan coming back in a bullock cart, they expressed their curiosity and asked questions along the way. Fortunately, Liu Man'er was a fool, and no one asked her. Most of the pressure was piled up on Ye Yuan's body.

Ye Yuan was also tired of dealing with these people, he just said that he went to the town to buy some things.

When the people in the village saw the cart full of things, including cloth, etc., some women said sour words, "Oh, Ye Yuan, you are rich."

"Ah, Ye Yuan, seeing that you often run up the mountain, maybe you have dug up ginseng."

"If the aunts think that this ginseng is easy to dig, just go up the mountain and dig it."

After Liu Man'er heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Fortunately, the surrounding voices were too noisy, and not many people paid attention to her.

But some people still put their eyes on Liu Man'er, and they coaxed: "Silly mother, where did Ye Yuan take you to buy things today? Where did you get all the money?"

Obviously, they were not satisfied with Ye Yuan's answer.

"We got this thing in exchange for catching a long worm." Liu Man'er replied truthfully, "The five-step snake almost bit our Ye Yuan."

The reason why she answered this way was because she was afraid that all these people would go up the mountain. After all, there were five-step snakes on this mountain. It would not be fun to be bitten by then.

"Ah!" The women took a step back, but they still didn't believe it, and asked forward, "How much did you sell for?"

"Five cents." Liu Man'er happened to have five cents of change on her body, so she put on a dull look and showed it to everyone.

"It's only five renminbi, I don't believe it." These women shook their heads and said, "Silly lady, you can also deceive people now. You have bought so many things, how could it be only five renminbi?"

Liu Man'er is very displeased with this nickname. People in the family don't call her a silly mother these days, and she has little contact with people in the village. She almost forgot that she still has such a nickname.

But since she is a stupid woman, so she doesn't have to be polite to them, she simply said: "If you don't believe it, forget it, if you want money, you can earn it yourself, always look at other people's houses, shameless!"

"You!" These long-tongued women suddenly became annoyed, "Silly mother, if you talk like this, your family Ye Yuan will not like you."

"No way, my family, Ye Yuan, never beat me, but your parents beat you by the hair." Liu Man'er said to the woman who just spoke.

"you!"

The woman was suddenly depressed. Her family lived not far from Ye Yuan's house. How could a man in the country not beat a woman? , This made her feel a little unacceptable.

"Ye Yuan, you don't care about it, look, your silly mother's mouth is sharp now." Some people said to Ye Yuan that they couldn't say anything about Liu Man'er.

"She has always been such a person, do the aunts still care about her?" Ye Yuan twitched his lips and said, "And now my Man'er is very obedient, she won't talk about others if no one talks about her. "

After Ye Yuan said this, he was almost at the door of the house, and these women couldn't follow any longer, so they left the house with an excuse.

But before they got home, a group of children from the village ran away with their ox cart.

call……

Liu Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the cautious and curious eyes of the children, she felt a little sad. Fortunately, she bought some peanut candy on the way and distributed them to the children.

The kids got the candy and they drove away.

At this time, Liu Fusheng, who was playing outside the door, also saw his sister and brother-in-law, and ran over happily.
