My daughter would definitely not look as good in these as the young lady does. After thinking about it, I said, "No, I'll go look for something else."

Although he said this, his eyes still looked over here involuntarily. Such a pretty girl, I wonder which family she is from.

He watched every move of the two people and listened carefully to their conversation. How could their voices be so beautiful, like the jingling of rings and pearls falling on a jade plate?

"Miss, why don't you take all of them? These people in this town are not worthy of wearing the same clothes as you. The remaining fabrics can be used to make a purse."

The young lady thought what the maid said made a lot of sense, and she bought all five pieces of material at once, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't suppress his smile.

"Boss, can you make clothes here?"

The maid's face changed again and again when she heard this, and she hurried to the young lady's side, "Don't we have a tailor at home? Why do you want to make clothes outside? If the lady knew, she would definitely not allow it."

The young lady patted the maid's hand a few times and said, "The tailor at home only makes those old styles. I'm tired of wearing them. Let's change the taste. If mother brings it up, I will say it was my idea and it has nothing to do with you."

Seeing that persuasion was futile, she had no choice but to obey and wait for the size to be measured and the style to be chosen. The young lady was very satisfied, but the maid looked helpless.

"Boss, these clothes will be sent to this address."

The maid spoke in a low voice, and the shopkeeper's pupils shrank.

"It will be delivered to your house on time."

He nodded and bowed as he saw the two of them out the door.

The aunt picked out a piece of fabric, a color that her daughter would also look good in. She looked toward the door, where two young girls were leaving gracefully. She was really curious, "Boss, who are those two people?"

He quickly made a gesture to silence the crowd, "Please keep your voice down, that's Miss Lin."

No wonder. I had only heard that Miss Lin was as beautiful as a fairy before. Although I didn’t see what she looked like today, her whole aura was extraordinary. The person inside the veil must be so beautiful. It really makes people imagine.

Ni'er and the third brother were walking on the street, heading towards the place where food was sold.

The two couldn't help but smile as soon as they looked at each other. They were so happy thinking about what happened just now. Ni'er looked away and heard her father's laughter getting louder and louder. She simply couldn't help but laugh, and the two of them laughed out loud in the street.

Passersby looked at them sideways, wondering what was wrong with these two people? Did they take the wrong medicine? They kept laughing.

Finally she stopped, her face flushed with laughter, she held her belly, squatted on the ground, finally stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes, and said, "Dad, let's go buy some soybeans, mom will be anxious waiting for her."

The third brother quickened his pace, thinking of going back quickly to tell Yan Zi and Niu Li the good news so that the whole family could be happy together.

The eldest brother endured the pain in his body and went to check the field.

When I saw the piles of weeds, I realized that my second brother had never done any work before. He pretended to go out early and come back late every day, but in fact he just found a place to lie down.

Things at home must be bothering him, no wonder he spent so little time at home recently.

The second brother couldn't help at all with what happened before, and he didn't even work in the fields. If he wanted to be an idler, he had to have the ability to do that. He wanted to starve everyone to death.

By the time of autumn harvest, other families had surplus grain after paying taxes, but my family might not even be able to pay taxes.

I wanted to do some farm work, but I wasn't feeling well enough. When I heard footsteps, I knew it was my second brother, without even looking.

The second brother saw the eldest brother standing there, motionless. He followed his sight and saw a pile of lush weeds that were almost level with his calves.

He was a little flustered, his laziness had been discovered, "Brother..."

The eldest brother's voice was a little hoarse. He squatted down and touched the weeds in front of him. "Second brother, do you think we can survive this winter?"

"Last winter, it was snowing heavily outside. There was a man outside begging for food from us. I don't know if he is still here."

The second brother was stunned for a moment, recalling that this incident did happen last winter.

The man was thinly dressed, shivering with cold, his lips were purple, and he was wearing sandals with his toes exposed.

The old lady wanted to chase the man away, but the eldest son’s wife felt sorry for him and gave him a bowl of hot porridge. The man thanked her repeatedly. She has never seen him since then, and I’m afraid he is no longer alive.

My eldest brother's voice echoed in my ears again, "Will we be like that this year?"

The second brother's heart sank, and he looked at the weeds around him again. It seemed that he had to work harder, otherwise he might not survive the winter.

I always thought that my third brother would help me, but now it seems that it is basically impossible. I still have to do the hard work, so I sighed.

"No, I will remove all the weeds today. Brother, you are not fully recovered yet, go back and rest for a while."

My eldest brother is half the pillar of the family. If he doesn't get a good rest this time and gets sick, all the hard work in the future will fall on me. One or two days won't make a difference. Let him recover completely before coming back.

He agreed verbally that weeding did not have to be finished in one day, and it would be fine as long as he finished it almost completely before he was well enough to go out to work.

Then he helped his elder brother up and said, "Go back, I'm here."

The eldest brother looked at the second brother suspiciously, with complete distrust in his eyes.

"Brother, I will definitely clear the weeds. Why don't you come back and inspect them again in the evening?"

He patted his chest and said, "Trust me this time."

"Okay, then I'll trust you again."

I pulled my second brother's hand away from my arm and walked towards home. I was indeed a little tired, and my whole body ached. Everything felt wrong when I moved. I decided to go back and have a rest, and then work on the land with my second brother in a few days.

I met my second brother and his wife on the way and said hello first.

The second son's wife saw that the man was coming from the field and asked, "Brother, are you going to work in the field?"

Shaking his head, he said, "I really want to work, but my body is not fully recovered yet, and I am willing but not physically able. My second brother asked me to come back first."

It is true that they should be allowed to go back and rest. The second brother was right. "Brother, go back and rest. You can continue working when you are better. A few days won't make a difference."

I felt touched. I hadn't worked for so many days, but she still asked me to go back and rest. I must get better soon.

"By the way, my sister-in-law, go talk to the second brother and ask him to take good care of the crops these days. I will definitely make up for the missed work in a few days."

After the two men parted, the second son's wife pondered over what her eldest brother had just said. Could it be that he didn't do his work properly, otherwise why would he ask her to be more careful?

I quickly walked to the field and saw a horrible sight. The crops were not as tall as others. When I pinched them with my hands, they were not as plump as others. There were weeds all over the ground. It seemed that he didn't want to survive anymore and decided to starve to death together this winter.
