The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Zhou was touched by her mother-in-law's words. Yes, she had saved money in order to marry her son, but now her son married an ungrateful wife. She bought fine cotton cloth but didn't even give it to her own son. Except for two sets of clothes she made for herself, she left all the clothes to her parents' home. She, as the mother-in-law, was simply treated as air.

When Yanzhi was still alive, she had someone to talk to about her feelings. But now that Yanzhi is married, she has no one to complain to except her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was right. If Lin Xiaozhao could wear it, she certainly deserved it. She couldn't rely on her stupid son as the head of the family. She should be good to herself.

"Boss, give me half a piece of the light pink. And I want half a piece of the light green, too. I won't bargain. Just 400 coins."

Zhou decided to make new clothes for Yanzhi and her granddaughter Tiantian. She had already thought about it: a pink top with a green skirt, and a light yellow top with a pink skirt. The little girls would look very good in them.

She could also use the rouge-red fabric to make a skirt for her daughter.

Thinking of this, Zhou's heart was burning with excitement. Now all that was left was to pay.

What, half a horse plus half a horse is one horse, right? That’s 550 coins. Can these people do the math?

The shopkeeper was just about to take out the abacus to talk to the two women, but was grabbed by Sun. She was old and didn't care about the distinction between men and women. She just wanted to buy cloth quickly!

"Shopkeeper, are you willing to pay 700 coins? Please don't waste our time during the New Year. Our village is far away, and we have to walk back home after buying the goods."

"Didn't you just say 720 Wen? Why did you lower the price?"

The shopkeeper was confused by these two old ladies who didn't follow the rules of bargaining. Why did the price get lower and lower?

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't argue with you. Just 720 coins. Here, waiter, I'll give you the money. Hurry up and get us some cloth."

Sun was well prepared and simply stuffed the copper coins into the hands of the shop assistant who was passing by.

"Then I'll pay too, boss. You take the 400 coins."

When Zhou saw that the shopkeeper was already unconscious, she hurriedly followed Sun to pay.

"Wait! A piece of cloth costs 550 coins, and you only give me 400 coins. This won't do. I can't do business at a loss."

The poor shopkeeper had his hat pulled askew by these two men. These old women in the village are too cruel.

Zhou secretly felt sorry that the shopkeeper woke up too early. "Okay, 450 coins. I won't say much. Give me a bag of rags. Waiter, where are the rags in your house? I'll pick them myself."

The waiter had just been called to collect the money, and thought that the two men had already negotiated with the owner, so he immediately brought over a large bag of rags.

Zhou and Sun's eyes lit up. Sun controlled the shopkeeper very tacitly, while Zhou, who was young and strong, snatched two and a half rolls of cloth, then grabbed a bag of cloth and left.

He was so excited that he didn't even care about Miaomiao. Tietou sighed and took Miaomiao's hand and ran behind him.

When Sun saw that the person had left, she felt relieved.

"My rags! Old lady, you are robbing me. A bag of my rags is only worth twenty or thirty cents."

"Hey, it's no big deal. Here, I'll give you another 10 cents. I know that you businessmen make money in half. You were going to give me some scraps of cloth as a gift as long as I'm your old customer. I'll give you half and sell you the other half. It's perfect. Don't say you're forcing me to buy or sell. You're a grown man, and you care about a few copper coins. People will laugh at you if you tell others about it."

The shopkeeper stared at the copper coins in his hand in a daze, and only came to his senses after Sun walked away.

"That's not right. How many pieces did I sell? Xiaowen, come here. How many pieces of cloth did you give to them?"

"Two and a half, that's what the middle-aged woman said. Half a horse of light yellow, half a horse of light green, one horse of light pink, and half a horse of rouge red."

"How much silver did you receive?"

"720 wen. The woman who took the cloth said the rest is for you."

"It's only 460 coins! No, 10 coins don't count, you idiot, why don't you ask me before you give me the goods!"

The shopkeeper was so angry that he jumped up and down. He only charged 1375 wen for the price of 1180 wen, and he also had to pay a large bag of rags for it. What a sin! He could no longer do business.

Xiao Wen rolled his eyes at the shopkeeper and said, "Brother-in-law, doesn't my sister know that you are not good at calculating? Forget it this time, but I will tell my sister next time."

Xiaowen has his sister as his backer, and can be said to be the most arrogant waiter in the entire county.

Not only did he not think it was his fault, but he even tried to put the blame on others.

The shopkeeper thought of the tigress at home and could only swallow his bitterness. He thought, "Forget it, at least he earned 500 coins. He might as well consider it as charity and accumulate merit for himself."

Not to mention that the owner of the cloth shop was even more frustrated than the waiter, Sun had already met with Zhou, and they were both very happy because they successfully bargained for the price, and they made a profit this time.

"Mom, let's go to the market to meet Binzi. These cloths are very heavy, so we'd better put them in the carriage. It's a good opportunity to let Binzi guard the carriage and let him watch over the rice. We can go shopping somewhere else!"

Not to mention that Zhou figured it out and walked for an hour shopping, exhausting everyone in the family, young and old.

As soon as Su He entered the mansion, he was invited into the Pear Blossom Courtyard by Lily and Furong who had been waiting for a long time, and even the fermented rice wine in his hand was confiscated.

Soho: .............

No, how could these people rob a woman? She was rushing to Cijingyuan to get a massage and earn money.

"I say, the old lady and Mother Zhang are still waiting for me, Lily, what are you doing?"

"Lotus, the second young lady had her period yesterday. She fainted from the pain half an hour ago. The doctor came and just told her to bear with it. He left a prescription, but the medicine was too bitter. The second young lady didn't want to drink it. The second master and the mistress are waiting for you. You must save the second young lady."

Su He rolled her eyes as she was carried away. This was not allowed in ancient times. Medical treatment was a benefit for men, but women had to bear it if they had a headache or a fever, and they didn't even know if the medicine they took was suitable for them. She didn't expect that even rich families were like this.

Fortunately, she had medicine and could treat her illness herself.

"Miss Second doesn't want to take medicine, so what can I do? It's the same when I have my period. Put a hot water bottle in Miss Second's stomach to warm it up. When she wakes up, give her a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water, and some porridge or something. Just make sure she stays warm."

Lily responded with her mouth, but her pace did not slow down at all, and in the end she almost ran while holding Su He's arm. Furong followed behind with Jiuniang in her arms.

This time Su He was dragged into the second young lady's boudoir. Qian was sitting at the head of the bed crying, and Zhao Qingli was sitting beside her.

"Hehua! Come and see Xiuyao, she is in great pain, you need to treat her right away!"

Qian was so happy to see Su He standing up. She was really scared by her precious daughter. Half an hour ago, Xiu Yao suddenly cried out that her stomach hurt. She could bear it at first, but later she was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweats and fell off the bed and rolled on the ground.

I've already fainted from the pain.

Su He understood it at a glance. This was dysmenorrhea. In modern times, the only way to deal with this is to put a hot water bottle on the stomach, drink some hot water and take a nap. If it is serious, go to the hospital for an IV drip or take painkillers.

"Madam, I only know some massage techniques, but I can't cure any illness. You should go find a doctor."

If it were her, she could take a painkiller, but that's not the case for others, because one less pill would be enough.

She still has a long life ahead of her!

Qian was very sensible this time. When she saw Su He was still refusing, she immediately called Lily.

Lily was also an experienced person, and she immediately took out another wooden box. This time, it only had one layer, but it was densely packed with silver ingots. The wooden box was deep, and there was another layer of silver ingots underneath the silver ingots.

Just estimate it to be around 500 or 600 taels.

Su He: That’s not what I meant.

"Ma'am, you misunderstood. That's really not what I meant. I don't know any medical skills." Su He refused with great difficulty.
