peasant shrew

Chapter 13

The two of them walked around to the front cabinet, Lin Yueniang looked at the cloth on the counter, and followed Mrs. Mei's introduction to the west one.

The counters of the embroidery workshops in the town are also very particular. The country people have little money and are careful not to buy good fabrics, so the coarse fabrics are all placed in the west corner.On the front cabinet are new cotton brocade and satin cloths that most wealthy families are willing to buy, while on the east side are silk and silk cloth.

"Yes, daughter-in-law of the Mei family, what are you planning to buy?" The shopkeeper was also very friendly and enthusiastic when he saw Mrs. Mei, and greeted her from afar.

"Uncle, I have a new daughter-in-law from the same village here today to have a look, she plans to buy two feet of embroidery cloth." Aunt Mei responded generously without being pretentious.

The shopkeeper knew that this was his mother-in-law's natal family, and he estimated the conditions in Li's Village, so he didn't lead them to the coarse cloth cabinet.

"The previous one just arrived with a batch of new cloth, dark blue satin cloth with dark pattern, which has just been put on the cabinet and hasn't been sold yet. How do you see it?" The guy greeted him, so the shopkeeper was quite free.

Lin Yueniang touched the fabric, seeing that the color and quality were good, she nodded naturally satisfied.It's not that she intends to embroider any shocking objects in one step, she just needs to earn a little change, and she doesn't have high requirements for the material of the cloth.

"This is new cloth, and the color is right. Even the workers would have to pay 36 cents a foot for it. Today, you should start selling this blue satin cloth. It's [-] cents a foot. Don't dare to bargain."

The shopkeeper was not familiar with it today, and wanted to keep a customer, so he opened his mouth and gave a real price.Of course, even if it is 36 Wen a foot, he is not losing money.

She tore two feet of dark blue cloth, and bought some needles and threads. When she arrived, Lin Yueniang added a few pennies to buy a small spool of thin silver thread, just as she wanted.

After the selection was made and the accounts were settled, the two of them left with the stuff packed by the buddy.

The two of them didn't buy much, and it didn't show at all in the basket.Then Lin Yueniang went to the locksmith to buy some locks and nails. She didn't believe that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Qian dared to pick the locks.

Thinking about going to the market for the first time, Lin Yueniang asked Mrs. Mei to take her around.It doesn't matter if you go around this way, don't you just run into Li Dewang and Xiaobailian who are chattering?

Sister Mei hesitated to speak, and planned to say a few words to reassure Yueniang, but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.Outsiders really don't know what to say about this kind of thing.

Compared to sister-in-law Mei's hesitation, Lin Yueniang changed her mind much faster.The two of them seemed to have an unusual relationship, and they were chatting in a corner where no one was around. After a few moments, Li Dewang, a tall man, blushed, and was half-pressed against the wall by his little white face.

A flash of light came to her mind. Back then, the best friend of the rotten girl started screaming when she saw two handsome men looking at each other for more than five seconds. Even if she had never been a rotten girl herself, she knew in her heart that Long Yang was good in this world.The eyeballs gurgled twice, this secret came at the right time.

The two turned around for a while, Lin Yueniang had something on her mind and didn't have time to talk, while Mei's sister-in-law looked at Yueniang with her head bowed sympathetically, and didn't know what to say to comfort her.Therefore, when Lin Yueniang didn't know, Mrs. Mei felt more sympathetic to her.

It was almost noon, and all the things that should be bought were bought. Before leaving, Lin Yueniang also bought a few sesame seed cakes, stuffed them for sister-in-law Mei, and wrapped the rest and put them in the basket.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the town, Mrs. Mei was stopped by someone, and Lin Yueniang guessed that she had run into an acquaintance.Sure enough, the two women with the baskets on their backs took two quick steps, chatting with Mrs. Mei about some homework.Seeing the daughter-in-law of the Li family who was covered by Mrs. Mei, the two of them were stunned for a moment. It wasn't that they didn't know each other, but they felt that it was not easy for this pissed-off daughter-in-law to come out.

Coupled with the fact that Mrs. Mei pinched the arms of the two of them secretly, and the cryptic expression, no one could guess what happened.So they just said something to go to the market, and they didn't open their mouths again.

People in the village may not know about Li's daughter-in-law, but it is not unheard of.The Li family is considered everyone, and the old man Li is a respectable person, but his wife, Mrs. Wang, is unworthy of the public. She is as small-minded as a needle.I heard that just a day after they got married, she provoked the boss to beat up his wife, and then even made the boss Li Dewang angry, don't talk about molesting his wife.After all, Li Dewang went to work on errands, and she hurriedly grabbed things from the eldest daughter-in-law.

Didn't there have been incidents where Li's new daughter-in-law was almost hanged by her own man?
It's not that Lin Yueniang can't guess what these people are thinking, but she still stands aside and doesn't interrupt, and when she gets impatient, she rubs her toes.
