Chapter 13 Go To the Market
These days, the price of handkerchiefs they embroidered has also been pressed to one Daqian per square, but people have to sell them. If they don't have the income, the family may be unable to sustain their living.
Liu Cuihua's embroidery skills are quite good, she plans to buy more colourful silk threads and two more complicated patterns to see if she can get more money next time.
Liu Cuihua smiled kindly at her and reached out to pinch her face, "Of course you can."
Su Jiuyue hadn't been to the market for years, so she was a bit excited.
"May I?"
Liu Cuihua smiled kindly at her and reached out to pinch her face, "Of course you can."
Hearing this, Su Jiuyue also relaxed, smiling slightly with two eyes curved like the moon in the sky, "OK, I'll go with you, Mother!"
As soon as the conversation ended, Wu Xiyuan's voice came in from outside, "Mother! What are you whispering about? I'm hungry!"
When Liu Cuihua heard her baby son saying he was hungry, she hurriedly walked over and opened the door, "Is Xiyuan hungry? I'll go bake a pancake for you? Hold on a little longer."
Wu Xiyuan is just childish now, tending to rash to bark at shadow. "No! I'm so hungry! I want to eat now!"
Liu Cuihua did not know what to do, but Su Jiuyue walked to him and took his hand, "hold on a little bit, okay? Let's go to the back and watch the chicks. I want to see them."
Wu Xiyuan was immediately distracted, "Yes, I haven't seen the chicks for a day, let's go and see them!"
Liu Cuihua then felt relieved. Thanks to Su Jiuyue, otherwise it will take a long time to coax Wu Xiyuan.
The next morning, Su Jiuyue did not dare to get up late again and helped his sister-in-law to make breakfast. Then the family members woke up in succession.
Originally the Wu family still raised a pig, but then the bad year comes. People were almost out of food, let alone feeding the pig.
Finally, witnessing that the pig was getting thinner and thinner, Liu Cuihua made a direct decision to slaughter the pig.
Su Jiuyue scooped out the hot water in the pot to Liu Cuihua. Liu Cuihua enjoined Su Jiuyue with a wooden basin in her hand, "Jiu Ya, go clean yourself up, change your clothes, and we will leave for town after breakfast."
Hearing this, Chen Zhaodi just looked at them in amazement, did not say anything, and went busy with her own business.
After breakfast, Liu Cuihua struggled to pacify Wu Xiyuan and then took Su Jiuyue out. Tian Xiuniang stood in front of the house and said coldly, "I was wondering what they were muttering about in the house at noon yesterday! It turns out that mother is going to take Xiyuan's wife to the market."
She spoke for a long time, but no one answered.
She elbowed Chen Zhaodi, who was standing beside her, "Sister-in-law, why don't you say something?"
Chen Zhaodi turned her face and looked at Tian Xiuniang, responding obediently, "What do you want me to say?"
Although Tian Xiuniang is not comfortable with her soft attitude, but at present she is the only one in the family who is likely to stand on a same page with Tian Xiuniang.
"Mother only took Xiyuan's wife to the market, as if we were all adopted. Su Jiuyue is so lucky to follow mother to the fair, and mother definitely will buy her tasty food, unfortunately we do not have this privilege."
Chen Zhaodi did not say anything, but Wu Ercheng turned around and glared at her, "Shut your mouth! Mother has taken you to the market so many times before. You're always busy making trouble!"
Tian Xiuniang was unhappy to hear this, "That can't be the same! Look at mother, she always treats me like a thief. How could she be willing to buy me food?! I'm a troublemaker?! If you don't clear this up today, it's not over!"
