âAt the direst moments of the Xiao Family, I couldnât help you, and I even failed to help with buying the wheelchair. Itâs just a matter of informing Rong. You gave me a big deal last time, so I really canât take your money anymore.â
âAlright then.â Su Qingyue took back the copper coins, âLast time I mentioned that I wanted to make a set of clothes for my second brother, third brother, and fourth brother. I want to buy a kind of practical and comfortable cloth, so please give me your recommendations.â
âI thought you were joking, but youâre really buying.â Lady Li laughed with her mouth wide open.
âOf course Iâm really buying.â She said, âIâve even measured their sizes secretly.â She did it without letting them know, as they would definitely refuse to spend money on new clothes.
âTake a look at this cloth⦠This is part of Rongâs new stock. It was originally sold for thirty cents per foot unit, but I can give it to you for twenty-eight cents.â Lady Li spread out the displayed cloth, âThis material is comfortable to wear and doesnât crease easily, itâs the most practical and the best choice.â
âWe are regular customers, can you lower the price a bit more?â
âHow about this, Iâll give it to you at a discounted price of twenty-six cents per unit. There are several colors, you just need to report the clothing sizes and choose the cloth colors,â she pointed at the menâs clothing samples hung on the wall, âPick any style you like, Iâll have it made for you within three days, and you can pick it up then.â
Su Qingyue looked at the styles of the menâs clothing in Lady Liâs shop, and found them to be the popular styles in the market, so she didnât bother creating a unique design.
She chose three different colors of the same material and embroidered different patterns on them, then reported the sizes needed for the three sets of menâs clothes.
After Lady Li calculated the bill, she said, âThe total is two taels and four hundred eighty wen. This is the best discount, and I canât waive the small change anymore.â
Su Qingyue took out three taels from her private money of eight taels and paid the bill. After Lady Li returned the change, she said, âCome and pick up the clothes after three days.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright.â Su Qingyue thanked her again and carried the wheelchair out of Lady Liâs shop.
Seeing her frail figure, Lady Li kindly asked, âHow are you going back to the village, wife of the Xiao Family?â
âIâll take the cowâs car back. The place where the cowâs car takes passengers is not far.â
âLet me ask Rong to accompany you⦠Carrying the wheelchair by yourself looks quite strainedâ¦â
âItâs fine, I can push it.â
âAlright then.â Lady Li didnât insist. She suddenly noticed a small dog lying at the shopâs entrance and hadnât paid attention to it before, âWhere did this little dog come from?â
Qingyue smiled, âItâs mine, I named it Little Bastard.â
âIts fur color is quite mixed, the name is quite fitting.â
âLittle Bastard, letâs go.â Su Qingyue called, pushing the wheelchair towards the market, while Little Bastard obediently followed behind.
Watching her leave, Lady Li praised, âThe Xiao Familyâs brothers are really lucky to have married such a good wife who is willing to spend money on their husbands⦠Itâs just a shame about her face, what will it look like after the scabs fall off?â Previously, when she said her face would look better after the scab fell off, it was just polite business talk. No one knows what her face would actually look like until the scab falls off.
Su Qingyue, who had already walked far away, didnât hear these words. She carefully kept the cloth on the wheelchair from getting caught in the wheels and didnât find it hard to push the empty wheelchair.
There was no one selling wheelchairs in Liuan Town, so many people on the street stared curiously at it.
When Su Qingyue brought the wheelchair to the place where Wang Crippled waited for passengers, Wang Crippled was amazed, âAh, wife of the Xiao Family, you bought a wheelchair? This must be very expensive, right?â
