The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Chapter 83 Buying Clothes for Dad and Mom

When Li Qiuge and her parents got on the carriage, she found that her father and mother looked like fools, moving their hands and feet incoherently.

"Qiuge, we are not dreaming, are we? Did you really make so much money all at once?" Li Tie and Wang Xiu Lian looked at their daughter and asked her in disbelief.

Li Qiuge knew how her parents felt. Even if a farmer worked for a lifetime, he might not be able to save dozens of taels of silver. Seeing thousands of taels, they must be shocked!

Li Qiuge quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and asked his parents to take a good look.

Wang Xiulian was literate. Although Li Tie didn't know many words, he could still recognize the simple ones. They were all taught by Wang Xiulian.

Wang Xiulian and Li Tie trembled as they held a banknote. After a careful look, they found that it was indeed a banknote of 100 taels! After confirming it, they hurriedly returned the banknote to Li Qiuge!

"Mom, you and dad can take this banknote and spend it." Li Qiuge handed the banknote to her mother, who was so scared that she kept waving her hands.

“Brother Qiu, you should take this money. If mother needs anything, you can buy it for her. Mother has never touched such a big banknote and I dare not take it. If I take it, I will be scared to sleep at night! You must hide it well and don’t lose it!” Wang Xiulian’s words were indeed true. When she was at her mother’s house, she could still have a few taels of silver in her hands. Since she married Li Tie, she rarely had a few cents in her hands!

"Qiuge, you should keep the money yourself, and don't make things difficult for us." Li Tie also looked scared, as if the one hundred taels of silver note was a hot potato!

"Brother Qiu, just listen to your parents and keep the money!" Shi Dalang also advised Li Qiuge not to give her parents any more money, otherwise both of them would really not be able to sleep well!

"Okay then, I'll change some small change later and you can keep it with you. If something really happens, you can have money." Li Tie and Wang Xiu Lian had no objection to this decision. After all, a few taels of small change are different from hundreds of taels of silver.

"Yes, mother has only taken a few taels of silver at most. You gave me more, and I am really scared." Wang Xiu Lian also felt that she was useless, but there was nothing she could do. She had developed this cowardly character in Old Li's family.

"Okay, Mom, let's go to the clothing shop next to the field and buy some clothes for you. Otherwise it won't be easy to buy clothes in a few days." Li Qiuge made a decision in her heart that she would slowly correct her mother's habit in the future and let her mother spend hundreds or thousands of taels of silver without blinking an eye.

But Li Qiuge knew that her mother was so old, and it would take time to change her frugal habits. It didn't matter, as long as she was around, she could buy them good food and clothes.

"Qiuge, those ready-made clothes are so expensive. If there is enough time, mother can just make a few sets herself." Just as Li Qiuge thought, even though her daughter has so much money now, her mother still thinks it is better to save money.

"Let's go to the clothing store first. We have to buy two sets of clothes for you and dad to change. If you want to make it yourself, we can buy some fabrics." Wang Xiulian thought about it and realized that it was true. They would be going back to Shijia Village with their daughter soon, and they couldn't embarrass their daughter by wearing tattered clothes. They had to buy two sets of clothes to change into first.

Li Tie and Wang Xiu Lian, following Li Qiuge and Dalang, came to the ready-made clothing shop where they had patronized clothes before. They thought to themselves that Shi Dalang was really good to his daughter. He let his daughter take such a large sum of money and treated them so well. Although he was a little old, he was really caring!

When Li Qiuge and his friends entered the store, the owner of the clothing store was packing up his things. He planned to take the things in the store and travel today. There were already two carts of goods on the carriage outside the store. Fortunately, he started to sell the goods a few days ago, otherwise there would be more left.

"Boss, are you leaving?!" Li Qiuge saw the shopkeeper and his two assistants, busy and sweating.

The shopkeeper turned around and saw that it was Li Qiuge. Why is this young lady here again? She has already bought a lot of clothes a few days ago, but she still doesn't have enough clothes to wear? Everyone is going to flee, but this young lady didn't save the money to buy food or use it on the road, but spent it all on clothes. What a waste!

"My dear, you are here to buy clothes again today. If you want to buy anything, hurry up. You won't be able to buy it if you are late! All the shops in this city are packing up their things and plan to leave in a few days! I have a lot of goods, so I have to go to Yundu City tomorrow to start transporting things. I have rented another shop there." Although the shopkeeper looked down on Li Qiuge's ability to spend money, he thought that if Li Qiuge and others also went to Yundu City, they could still patronize his business.

"Boss, we are going to Yundu City in a few days. We will patronize your business then. I came here today to buy some clothes for my parents." Li Qiuge stated the purpose of coming to the shop this time.

"So what kind of fabric do you want to buy for your parents? I've just packed the bags. I'll find the fabric you want for you." All the clothes in the shop are packed into bags now. It would not be practical to open them all.

"They all need to be made of fine cotton. Look at my father's height and what size he wears. Pick out two or three sets. The same goes for my mother. Look at what kind of clothes she wears and pick out a few as well. You should also prepare the other underwear, shoes and socks." Li Qiuge thought to herself that since everything had already been packed, she wouldn't pick too carefully. Besides, her parents weren't the picky kind of people.

"Okay, I see that your father is quite tall, so he needs to get a larger size. Your mother can just wear something about the same size as you. I'll pick out some clothes suitable for women." The shopkeeper knew what size clothes Li Tie and Wang Xiu Lian wore at a glance.

"Mom, you just wear the clothes I bought for you now. When we get to Yundu City later, I will take you to the shop to buy you something nice." Qiuge originally wanted to let her mother pick whatever she wanted, but she didn't know that the shopkeeper had packed up everything.

"Mom, I think this is good enough, why do we need better? I haven't worn new clothes for many years, let alone clothes made of fine cotton." Before she got married, when she was a girl at home, her father was a scholar and she could earn some money by teaching, so she never lacked food and clothing, and she also wore fine cotton. It was only after she married Shi Dalang that she started to wear coarse linen clothes left over by others.

Li Tie was the same. He had never had a new piece of clothing since he was a child, let alone fine cotton clothes! Now that their daughter bought them several new sets of clothes at once, what else could they complain about?

"Come here, these are the clothes I picked for you. Do you want to go home and change them, or change them here? If you want to change here, we have a changing place in the back." He remembered that the young lady bought new clothes at that time, but put them on immediately!

"Of course we change here! Mom and Dad, hurry up and put on your new clothes!" At Li Qiuge's urging, Li Tie and Wang Xiu Lian went to the back to change into new clothes.
