Chapter 39

Rural people wear a piece of clothing for a year, and it takes another year to sew and mend it. If they get good materials, they will not be willing to make clothes.

But for a precious person like an old lady, the most important thing in the house is all kinds of high-quality fabrics.

What do you wear in the morning?What do you wear when you go for a walk?What do you wear when you eat?They are all very particular.

And the piece of cloth that Du Yao brought back, if it was made into clothes, at most it would be worn when watering the flowers and playing with the birds, that would be enough face.

"I'm such a half-grown old lady, and I have a lot of clothes. I'm not short of this one and a half. I'd better keep the cloth. Doesn't your unscrupulous brother still have to marry a wife!"

Sure enough, it is still patriarchal!
Before asking the magistrate of the county to testify, the second son was also there, and signed a separation document, which clearly stated that once the family was separated, unless Zhou Fang left the Du family, even if their family starved to death, they would never extend their marriage. Helping hand.

But just three years ago, Du Liang forced his wife to run away. Zhou Fang used the excuse of marrying another house for her son, and asked the old lady for ten taels of silver a month.

Due to the family division documents, I can only use the name of the second son to give the money to the third daughter-in-law on a monthly basis.

Although she couldn't give it to Zhou Fang in such a way, the old lady could find all kinds of excuses to pay Zhou Fang. Even the married granddaughter became one of the excuses. It was ridiculous and sad to think about it.

"This is 30 taels." The old lady untied the purse from her waist and threw it to Du Yao. "In a few days, there will be a big market in the city. There will be vendors from the south. They have a lot of decent brocades in their hands. You can buy some." , take it when I go home to visit relatives next time, not only will my face be brightened, but my waist will be straighter."

hehe.

It sounds nice, but Du Yao knows that grandma is not just looking for an excuse to ask her to give that bastard Du Liang a bride price for his wife.

"to make."

She didn't refuse, but readily accepted, but...

"Grandma, the tailor at your home should still be there, right? If it's convenient, can you make me some cotton coats for the winter, and I'll get the fabric and stuffing cotton."

As a bargaining chip, the old lady would never refuse, and Du Yao didn't want to take advantage of her. One thing is one thing, and the material for making clothes has to be paid by herself.

"Hey!"

The old lady looked like a ghost in broad daylight, looking up and down at Du Yao with disbelief, "I took this big bag and small fire to my mother's house, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money, where did you get the money to make winter clothes? "

The little bun who was blocked behind felt that the atmosphere was not right, and his trembling body trembled even more.

"That's right! Yongnian hunted two deer in the mountains, and sold them for a lot of money. After deducting the money for buying grain and cloth, there is still some money left over."

A total of 150 taels of silver, chicken, duck and fish, plus a large pot of white rice, and the cloth used to make clothes, which one does not cost money? !
They all say that they are not in charge of the family, and they don't know that Chai Migui is expensive. Du Yao has completely understood this sentence.

Now there are only less than 30 taels left on hand, not because she is prodigal, but because she has to spend it. Seeing that she is about to build a wine-making shed, the remaining taels may not be enough.

and……

"The rest of the fabric can just make seven cotton-padded clothes. I haven't bought any cotton yet. I'm afraid I'll have to..."

Boom!
Before Du Yao finished speaking, the wooden door of the room was pushed open vigorously.

Zhou Fang walked in from the outside carelessly, obviously eavesdropping outside for a long time, but pretended to be passing by by chance, and accidentally listened.

"Yao'er, we have grown a lot of cotton balls in our field, what else do you buy?"

Why doesn't she know how to grow cotton in her own field? !
These days, cotton is a rare item, and if it is sold in the city, it will definitely fetch a good price.

With Zhou Fang's insatiable temperament, if there was any cotton, he would have sold it long ago. How could it be kept until now? It's really hard to understand.

"This cotton field is your mother's dowry. The tailors in the house are still busy making clothes for the old lady. Yours, let mother do it for you."

Although she didn't know what this woman was planning, she had no reason to refuse the pie that fell from the sky.

"Mother, then this matter is settled. Next time I come back, I will bring you the material for making cotton clothes."

"okay!"

Zhou Fang nodded happily, but Du Yao, who was full of curiosity, said something casually.

"Mother, shouldn't this dowry be taken to the husband's house when the daughter gets married? Why are you taking it out now?"

"Smelly girl, who was going to die at the time? Did I dare to tell the story of the cotton field at that time? If you were fooled by others, you would have to count the money for them foolishly! But you can't get it yourself Arrive!"

If Du Yao really died, wouldn't it be for nothing that the old Zhou's family would be taken advantage of, and she would not.

You say one thing with your mouth, but you think another thing in your heart. The old lady is here, so naturally you have to pretend to be appropriate.
Zhou Fang said that she was speechless, but she was not angry. At least this was the first time this woman "sincerely" thought of herself. Although she felt that she might not be sincere, there was nothing wrong with deceiving herself once in a while.

There was a lively chat here, but in the yard, there was a lot of noise, and the voices of cursing and cursing became louder and louder.

"Your uncle, you dare to come to the door?"

Pushing open the half-open window and seeing the mother and son jumping up and down in the yard, Du Yao rushed up in a fit of anger. If the old lady was not forcibly pressing her, she might have rushed out to show them off! !
"I'll go and have a look, Yao'er, it's a big deal, and there's grandma, don't worry."

Patting Du Yao on the shoulder lightly, the old lady walked out first.

Du Yao told Zhou Fang to take care of the little bun, and then followed him to the front yard.

As soon as I left the door of the main room, I saw Aunt Li with her hips on her hips, yelling at the top of her voice.

And her silly son was lying on the wooden board upright, motionless, as if he was dead.

call!
He let out a heavy breath, and took another deep breath of cold air with an earthy smell, only then did he stabilize his mood of about to go berserk.

Aunt Li is really lingering, she not only taught them a lesson, but now her son came to her door again, she really treated herself like a persimmon!

"Look, everyone, hurry up and look, it's this stinky and shameless woman who killed my son, and it's all her fault!"

The old lady frowned, and pushed Du Yao behind her, then looked at Aunt Li, "Daughter-in-law of the Li family, what is your son? You don't know yourself, even if there is the following The stuff is useless, and there is no way to give birth to a baby!"

"Old lady, don't think that you can look down on others because you have some bad money. Now your granddaughter injured my son, and everyone is lying here half dead. Today, if you don't give an explanation, I will rely on it." Die here!"

Aunt Li sat on the ground with a puff, crossed her legs, and made up her mind not to leave.
