Chapter 36: Buy More

n water at home.Otherwise, they wouldn't even be willing to use water for wiping their bodies."Okay, we widened the irrigation canal downstream a bit. Unless something unexpected happens, the village...Zhong Yu followed his wife diligently, carrying things for her. Fang Jinxiu bought almost everything with the whole family in mind.

She went to the clothing store and inquired about the prices of ready-made garments. The cheapest fabric cost twenty wen per piece. Following the measurements of Mu Shi and Zong Yulian, she purchased four women's dresses.

Then he took a man's shirt and gestured it towards Zongyu.

"Zongyu quickly waved his hand, "I have clothes to wear. You buy your own, don't worry about me."

Fang Jinshi pulled his hand down and glared at him, "Just now you said you'd listen to me about everything, stand straight."

Zongyu immediately fell silent and stood obediently.

The other women in the shop who were looking at clothes, surely they saw this scene. Such a big man, listening to his wife so obediently, was quite adorable.

They giggled as they peeked, making Zongyu's ears burn and his eyes dart around nervously.

Luckily, he was tall enough to just look at the ceiling when there was nowhere else to look.

His body was stiff, allowing Fang Jinshu to handle him at will.

"Eight out of ten of your clothes are just like this one, with patches everywhere. The fabric is worn thin from too much use."

"You and Zongbo always go into the mountains to hunt, it's very necessary to buy some materials and wear clothes that are practical and absorbent."

"Oh, and the shoes too."

She kept talking to herself, busy measuring Zongyu's height and width one moment, then having him lift his foot to compare the size of his shoes the next.

Since his father went to the capital for the imperial examination and disappeared, Zongyu hadn't felt this cared-for in a long time.

When the two of them came out of the tailor shop, there were quite a few things in the basket on his back.

Clothes, shoes and socks are all available.

She got all the socks from asking the boss for them. Buying so many clothes, it's not unreasonable to send some socks as a gift.

The boss had never met such a talkative customer before. She was completely bewildered by Fang Jinshu's clever words. The latter kept showering the boss with sweet compliments, saying things like "Your business is booming" and "Congratulations on your prosperity," leaving the boss lady beaming from ear to ear.

Who doesn't like to hear nice things.

When she was checking out, besides getting ten pairs of socks for free, she also asked the shopkeeper for a bunch of scraps of fabric from the edges and corners.

Though called scraps, some of the pieces are quite good quality and large enough to be handkerchiefs. With a little processing, such fabric could still be sold for money.

Mu has not been in good health these years. Her three children at home don't let her do any work, which is filial piety, but it is not conducive to the patient's physical and mental health.

She took the fabric back so that her mother-in-law could do some handiwork while there was still good daylight.

To activate someone's will to survive, one must only rekindle their hope for life.

Make her feel like she isn't a burden, that she is needed and has value.

Last night she took her mother-in-law's pulse and discovered that her lung disease was not the root cause of draining her body.

She also had an air embolism and showed no signs of wanting to survive.

She can heal the body's pain, but if a person loses their will to live, then no matter how many elixirs and miracle cures there are, they still won't be able to save them.

"Let's buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar again. We're running low on salt at home. Cooking without enough salt always tastes bland, and if we don't eat well, how can we have the energy to work Don't you think so"

Zongyu nodded in agreement.

"Uh huh."

After buying the ingredients, Jinxiu went to buy some vegetables. Zongyu frowned.

"No water, no life."

The soil in the mountains is a little better than that in the village, and it's not as severely dry.

But even if you plant these vegetables, if God doesn't send rain, nothing will grow in the ground.

Fang Jinshiu gave the boss five copper coins, and bought seeds of several kinds of crops, such as radish, greens, beans, peanuts, corn, and so on.

She wrapped the seeds up and tossed them into the basket, saying, “What’s there to be afraid of We didn’t spend that much anyway.”

"Maybe we planted the vegetables, and it rained soon after."

"Look on the bright side, even if they don't grow, you haven't wasted much money."

With her spring water around, how could there be any lifeless vegetables

If you don't grow your own vegetables, what are you going to do Eating meat every day is not good for your health. It lacks vitamins and dietary fiber, and your body will eventually develop other problems.aring that things might change overnight, he hurried over to get a sense of what the village head, Wang, was thinking.Now seeing Fang Jinshu come out of the Wang family, I feel even worse."Humph!" He...
