Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zhou Chunfeng then remembered that she had forgotten to buy cotton for winter clothes for her family.

I have been so busy these days that I only remembered it now when I saw my daughter so cold.

"Xiao Man, after we finish selling food, let's go to town and buy some cotton and cloth."

"Mom, are you finally planning to make cotton-padded clothes?" Zheng Xiaoman looked at her mother in surprise.

She thought her mother was not going to make cotton-padded clothes this year.

Zhou Chunfeng said somewhat embarrassedly: "Haha, didn't mother forget about it because she was busy? Your cotton-padded clothes are too old and don't keep you warm at all.

We have to go out every day in winter, so how can we not wear something thicker? "

"By the way, mother, should we buy a cow? If it snows in the winter, we won't be able to push this cart."

She had been thinking about this for many days, but buying a cow would cost a lot of money, so she never said anything.

Old man Zheng, who was sitting nearby, became excited when he heard that he wanted to buy a cow. "Second wife, I think Xiaoman is right. Now is not the time for spring ploughing, and the price of cows is cheaper than before spring ploughing.

Besides, your family now has five mu of land, and there are another twenty mu of mountain land. If you don’t buy a cow, how long will it take for you and Qingming to get the land?”

When Zhou Chunfeng heard that they were going to buy a cow, her first reaction was that she felt sorry for the money, as a cow would cost several taels of silver.

But she also knew that her daughter and father-in-law were right, and the family needed a cow.

"Well, how about we go to the bull market tomorrow?" Zhou Chunfeng said this while suppressing her heartache.

Old man Zheng laughed. He was not like the children who liked cats or dogs. He just liked cows.

"Okay, I happen to know how to choose a cow. I'll go with you guys tomorrow to take a look."

After selling lunch at noon, several people pushed carts into the town.

Old Man Zheng went to get the pig's head and offal first, and Zhou Chunfeng took Zheng Xiaoman to the cloth shop.

The shopkeeper saw the mother and daughter and greeted them warmly, "Sir, what kind of cloth do you want to buy? We have the most complete selection of cloth in town."

Zhou Chunfeng looked at the cloth on the table, then pointed to a piece of navy blue cloth and asked, "Boss, how much is this cloth per foot?"

"Sister, you have a good eye. This cloth is new fine cotton from the south. It only costs ten cents a foot."

Zhou Chunfeng thought the color was nice and would be perfect for making clothes for her two sons.

"Boss, if I buy more, can you sell it at a lower price?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "If you want a whole piece of cloth, you can just give me two hundred coins. This piece of cloth is twenty-five feet long, which works out to eight coins per foot."

With this calculation, it is definitely more appropriate to buy a whole horse.

Zhou Chunfeng gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then give me one."

She looked at the pink floral cloth beside her, and her eyes lit up. She thought the bright color was perfect for making clothes for her daughter.

Zheng Xiaoman followed her mother's gaze and was startled by the pink color.

She is already in her thirties in both her past lives, and she dares not wear such light-colored clothes anymore.

Seeing her mother's hand pointing at the pink floral cloth, Zheng Xiaoman quickly grabbed her mother's hand.

Then he pointed to a piece of light blue cloth on the other side and said, "Mom, I like that one. Can you buy me that blue cloth?"

This was the first time that her daughter took the initiative to ask her for something. Although Zhou Chunfeng liked the pink floral cloth more, since her daughter liked this, she would definitely listen to her.

She reluctantly moved her eyes away from the floral fabric and moved them to the light blue fabric beside her.

She looked at it for a while, but still felt that the color was a bit too monotonous.

"My girl, why don't you take another look? I still think the pink one looks better on the little girl."

Zheng Xiaoman quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, I have to cook every day at home, and this pink one is not resistant to dirt. If the color was not wrong, I would have wanted this navy blue cloth.

This color is stain-resistant and perfect for working around the house.”

Zhou Chunfeng also thought about the fact that her daughter still had to cook every day, so the pink floral cloth was indeed inappropriate.

"Well, when you are older, I will buy you this cloth."

Watching Zhou Chunfeng and the shopkeeper negotiate the price, Zheng Xiaoman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, Zhou Chunfeng bought two rolls of navy blue cloth, one roll of light blue cloth, and two rolls of dark gray cloth.

She thought that after buying something left and right, she would make clothes for all the family members.

In addition to the ones for her parents-in-law, she also wanted to make one for her own parents.

In the past few years, the old couple just supported them. Now that they have earned money, they want to do something for them.

Then she bought another 40 kilograms of cotton. Cotton cost 30 cents per kilogram, and she spent more than one or two taels of silver just on buying cotton.

There was not enough thread at home, so she bought some needles and thread, spending another ten cents.

When checking out, Zheng Xiaoman looked at a bag of rags in the corner of the store. She pointed at the bag and asked, "Boss, how much are those rags?"

The shopkeeper looked at them buying so many things with a smile on his face. "The cloth is usually sold by the pound, two cents per pound. You bought a lot of things today. If you want, this bag of cloth will be given to you."

Who wouldn't want something given away for free, especially since this bag of cloth must weigh several kilograms.

Zhou Chunfeng's originally painful face also showed a little smile, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

After buying things, the two waited for Old Man Zheng to come at the door.

When Old Man Zheng pushed the cart over, he saw a pile of large and small bags of things at the door.

"Second brother's wife, what did you buy? Why so much?"

"Dad, it's time to make quilts and cotton clothes at home, so I bought some cloth and cotton. This bag of rags was given to me by my boss."

Old Man Zheng looked at the pile of things and estimated that it would cost at least two taels of silver.

But this was his son's family's money, so he couldn't say much.

The three men loaded the things into the cart and then pushed it back.

When they got home, the piles of things attracted two old ladies. Zhou Chunfeng listened with amusement as her mother scolded her for spending too much money.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law didn't say anything, but just helped to carry everything into the house.

Old Mrs. Zheng is open-minded. She knows that the second son's family is living better and better. Even if the second son's legs become paralyzed in the future, the family can still afford to support him.

The eldest grandson and the youngest grandson both go to school and will have a bright future. She doesn't have to worry about them.

Now that the two daughters, Xiaoman and Xiaoman have the cooking skills, the old lady is not worried at all.

Even if her face is not good-looking, so what? My granddaughter can earn money.

Now, when the people in the village see the current life of the second family, how many of them are not jealous?

She heard that many people were eyeing her daughter Xiaoman. Of course, the old lady wouldn't look down on such people.

Anyway, this girl is so capable, she won’t have trouble finding a good family to marry into in the future.

There is only the youngest girl left. The family's life is getting better and better, and her two older brothers will have a bright future. This girl is the one with the best fortune.
