Chapter 16

Fang Lin didn't refuse.

There was not much rice at home, so Shen Dashan closed the stall, asked the peddler next to him to look after the cart, and went to buy rice by himself.

Fang Lin counted, and her uncle gave her seven cents, plus what her grandmother gave her last night, and she planned to buy something.

Seeing that her younger sister was about to get married, the dowry should be prepared, but they still owed money to their uncle's family, Fang Lin thought, maybe she should find a way to make some money.Her needlework is pretty good, and she does almost all the mending work at home. Xiaoxiang, who was married from the town before, would occasionally make small things for the cloth shop in exchange for money. I wonder if I can give it a try.

In the past, Fang Lin was determined not to think so. Even if she could make money, she wouldn't want to save it surreptitiously, it would all go into Hu's pocket.But the situation is different now, and there are many places to spend money, so she has to plan.

The largest cloth shop in Baihe Town is Zhang Ji. Fang Yu from the uncle's family married the head catcher of the town's yamen last year. The clothes he wears when he comes back during the holidays are all made from Zhang Ji and have been shown off many times.

Fang Lin thought, this big shop must pay more money for work.But she seldom came to the town, let alone where Zhang Jibufang was, so she had to ask passers-by on the side of the road.

Fortunately, Zhang Ji is notoriously easy to find. Fang Lin walked around from the street where they set up a stall to the main road. After walking a few steps, she saw a three-room pavement, built of blue bricks. The wall and the two vermilion pillars outside are so beautiful no matter how you look at it. Even the cotton curtain is embroidered with a bunch of peonies, which looks very rich.

She raised her eyes and knocked on the signboard. She only knew two of the four characters, "Zhang" and "Bu". She was taught by Mrs. Fang every day, and she didn't have time to take care of her. Fang Lin slipped outside the school to watch the old man teach the children in the village. The only few words she knew were also learned by stealing.

Probably because of the day of the market, the business of Zhangji Cloth Shop was not affected. There were a lot of people coming in and out. Could it be that they were dressed brightly? Fang Lin was a little unable to walk. He said, "Girl in gray clothes outside, hey hey, what about you, just you, what are you standing there looking at, you can't afford the things here, don't look at it."

Fang Lin took a deep breath, with a smile on her face, "Brother, is your shopkeeper here?"

"Looking for the shopkeeper?" Xiao Tong stared at her and looked up and down, "Who are you our shopkeeper? What can you do with him?"

Fang Lin was stopped by the question, she shook her head, "I just... just want to ask, do you want someone to do embroidery for your family?"

Just to put it bluntly, the girl's dress doesn't look like a relative of the shopkeeper, he raised his head, "The things in our house are all expensive, and you people can't afford to pay for the damage if you are clumsy, hurry up Let's go, otherwise our manager will come out and chase people away, and he is not as easy to talk to as I am."

Fang Lin was used to being angry, so she didn't take it seriously. She asked in a low voice, "I really don't want anyone, but I heard that our village..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by the little boy, "Your village! Can the people in your village afford our fabrics? If you say no, you don't want to. Let's go, don't hinder our business!"

"What are you arguing about? On such a cold day, you want to freeze me to death by opening the curtain to let the air-conditioning into the room!" The person who spoke was a fat middle-aged uncle, who came over and knocked the boy on the head. He was about to reprimand him a few more times, when he suddenly saw a customer walking out of the store, his ferocious expression immediately changed into a smiling face, the speed of the change of face was simply staggering.
