She thanked the old doctor and before leaving, she couldn't help but defend her husband, "I had a hard time at home before, but now I have a good husband who loves me. I will definitely get better soon. I have hope for the future."

"Thank you, doctor, for today."

The old doctor felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he had really made a mistake. He waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Cui Yunzhu came to the medicine cabinet at the door to get medicine. When she heard that it cost two taels of silver, she couldn't help but smack her lips. Medicinal materials were really so expensive that it made people feel painful. Just a few doses of tonic would cost two taels of silver. There was a reason why many people could only die of illness at home and dared not hire a doctor.

"You can earn money again if you lose it. I will make sure you live a good life in the future."

When Cui Yunzhu heard the word "later", a trace of worry flashed across her eyes. If nothing unexpected happened, the famine would come a year later just like in her previous life. How should she tell Chen Yan what would happen a year later? Would he think of her as a monster?

Chen Yan thought Cui Yunzhu was still feeling sorry for the money, so he planned to take her shopping to divert her attention. There were still new clothes that he hadn't bought yet, and his wife would definitely look good in new clothes, so he had to make her happy and marry him decently.

The materials in the garment shop were dazzling, and Cui Yunzhu was choosing carefully. She deliberately chose a garment shop that looked suitable for ordinary people to wear.

The materials in other stores were obviously worn by the rich people in the town. It was not a good thing for her to wear such ostentatious clothes when she just arrived at the Chen family. It might even give people the opportunity to cause trouble.

It is better to have less trouble than more, and she touched the few pieces of cloth that she liked. The colors were relatively plain, the materials were soft, close to the skin and very wear-resistant, which was just right for wearing in the village.

"Boss, how much is this cloth?" Cui Yunzhu asked while holding the scarlet cotton cloth that she liked.

"Sir, you have good taste. This piece of fabric is new. It's comfortable and durable. It will be enough to wear it for three to five years. It's only 350 wen per piece." The proprietress came over enthusiastically when she saw that they really wanted it.

She glanced at the two of them and saw the thin winter clothes Cui Yunzhu was wearing. She kindly reminded them, "Are you buying these for your wedding? Why don't you buy ready-made clothes? Otherwise, it will take at least two or three days to make a set of clothes after buying the cloth, which may delay your wedding."

Then he continued, "A set of ready-made clothes costs more than buying the material, but you don't have to buy cotton separately. A pound of cotton costs 500 coins, so it's definitely worth it. I'm honest in business, so I'll charge you 1500 coins for a set. If you buy two sets, I'll give you a discount."

A piece of cloth costs 350 wen, which can make about 2 pieces of clothing, just enough for one set.

A pound of cotton costs 500 wen, and winter clothes basically have two pounds of cotton. Some people add less, but few people add more.

It costs 1000 wen to make a set of clothes, two kilograms of cotton. She is anxious to get new clothes. It will cost 1350 wen to buy cotton cloth and cotton herself. It is indeed possible to buy a set of ready-made clothes for 1500 wen.

"Boss, then take the ready-made suit of the color you just mentioned. Can you change the color of the pants? By the way, I also want to see a set for my husband." Cui Yunzhu really didn't want to wear red pants. Even if the color was nice, she wouldn't wear a set of them.

"I don't need them. You can use the remaining money to buy a few more." Chen Yan shook his head.

"Well, if you don't want to wear it, I don't want it either. We're getting married soon, and once we're married we'll be a family. How can it be that I eat the meat and you drink the soup?" Cui Yunzhu pretended to be angry, and Chen Yan had to let her make the decision.

"The girl is right, the whole family needs to wear new clothes." The proprietress happily led them to the room where ready-made clothes were kept to choose.

"You can change the color of the pants. Girls can just choose the color they like. The price is the same. However, men's ready-made clothes are 150 wen more expensive, 1650 wen per set, because they use more material. The materials of the ready-made clothes are the good ones you saw. You can feel them and feel them."

The material in her hand was indeed the same as the one outside, and it felt quite thick. Cui Yunzhu chose a vermilion jacket. She had to wear something festive for her wedding. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and God finally gave her this opportunity!

She picked out a pair of black cotton pants to match, which were simple and dirt-resistant. Although she was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful clothes in modern times, she didn't think the combination was tacky. Everyone wore it like this now, and she was good-looking, so it would not look bad on her.

He also selected a navy blue long coat with black trousers for Chen Yan. The two sets cost a total of 3150 wen, which is 150 wen more than three taels.

After calculating the money she had spent on riding the ox cart and eating steamed buns, as well as the two taels of silver she had spent on getting medicine, Cui Yunzhu had more than five taels left out of the eight taels she had just received, so she asked for a piece of lavender cloth and two kilograms of cotton.

But she didn't bring any clothes with her, so she had to buy some cloth to make some clothes.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be any change of clothes.

"A set of women's ready-made clothes is 1500 wen, a set of men's ready-made clothes is 1650 wen, a piece of cloth is 350 wen, plus two kilograms of cotton is 1000 wen, a total of 4500 wen, and I'll give you a discount of 100 wen. I also have a set of needles and thread used by an embroiderer, and I'll give it to you if you don't mind." The proprietress was very straightforward.

Cui Yunzhu certainly didn't mind. She only had a little more than 10 yuan left in her pocket, and the needle and thread given by the boss's wife was exactly what she needed.

"Thank you, boss lady. I wish you a prosperous business." Cui Yunzhu congratulated sweetly.

After paying the money, Chen Yan stepped forward and took the clothes and materials from the waiter. Cui Yunzhu didn't even have a chance to touch them before he picked up all the things in his hands. He carried the big and small bags effortlessly.

"I've almost spent all my money."

Chen Yan thought she was going to feel distressed again and was about to say something.

“This feels so good, hahaha.”

Hearing her cheers, Chen Yan also laughed along with Cui Yunzhu.

It's really a good feeling to be with her.

When he walked out of the town and saw a oxcart heading to Yulin Village, Chen Yan greeted the young man driving the cart, took out the six cents he had prepared in advance and handed it to him, then got on the cart with Cui Yunzhu.

As soon as Cui Yunzhu sat down, she felt eyes cast from all directions. People around her were looking at her. She looked up and smiled at everyone without saying anything.

"Hey, Sanlang, is this your daughter-in-law who is worth ten taels of silver?" a woman asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Second Aunt, some people are just gossiping. Why are you getting involved?" Chen Yan immediately retorted.

Second aunt?

Cui Yunzhu looked over and saw that the other person was wearing a new dark blue cotton-padded jacket. He spoke with a contemptuous tone and a bad look on his face. He didn't look like he was just chatting with a younger member of the family.

The woman raised her chin and said, "I'm meddling in other people's affairs? Look at me, my sister-in-law is really good at educating children. After all, we are a family. How can I be considered meddling in other people's affairs? It's ok that she doesn't like me, but why does she teach these younger generations to dislike me?"
