Chapter 42 Asking for trouble
When I walked into a fabric shop, a middle-aged female shop owner quickly came up to me with a smile on her face: "Dear customer, do you want to pick some fabrics?"
"That's right. I want three bolts of each of these fabrics. Also, does your store provide cotton-flashing quilt-making services? I plan to order a few silk quilts. I hope they can be used in all seasons and are both warm and breathable."
Ran He was thinking in her mind that although the silver in her hand was exchanged for herbs, she was determined to use the money to let the children enjoy the best living conditions, especially in terms of material things. She would never allow the children to feel the slightest regret due to lack.
Hearing Ran He's request, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Silk quilts are a luxury item that only the rich can afford, not to mention ordering so many at once.
The total price was as high as eighty taels of silver, which was definitely a considerable expense in a small town.
The shopkeeper secretly wondered in his heart, how could this woman in front of him, who was dressed simply and even had extremely plain hair accessories, have such financial resources?
Could she be the concubine of some wealthy man? But judging from her words and actions, there is really no trace of luxury in her.
Ran He saw the other party's doubts, and said calmly but sincerely: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I won't let you take a penny. You can prepare it first. This is ten taels of silver as a deposit. When the quilt is finished, I will pay the balance when I come to pick it up."
The shopkeeper felt much more at ease after taking the heavy bag of silver.
Even if these expensive silk quilts cannot be sold in the end, at least the deposit is already in the pocket and a small profit can be made.
"As for the fabrics I have chosen earlier, please make three sets of children's clothing according to the sizes of my children, mainly four years old. Add one set for myself. The style should be simple and practical, and convenient for daily work."
Ran He's words reveal his deep affection for his family and his delicate consideration for life. Every word and every action is filled with beautiful visions for the future.
There is often no exact standard for the size of children's clothes, and most of them are roughly estimated based on the child's growth stage.
Therefore, most parents tend to choose a slightly larger size when purchasing or customizing.
I hope these clothes can accompany my children for several more seasons. Once they are too small, they will just be left unused, which is such a waste.
Ran He measured the dimensions herself. For someone as meticulous as her, this delicate task was a piece of cake for her.
"Sir, the fabric you chose is exquisite, and the total cost including the labor cost is seven taels of silver. However, since you just bought a high-quality silk quilt from our store, I will give you a discount and only charge you five taels of silver in total, how about that?"
The shopkeeper had a warm voice and a sweet smile. Such a discount was almost like giving away the tailor's skills for free, and his sincere attitude made people feel warm inside.
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."
Ran He readily paid the clothing fee and added, "And the silk quilt, I'll come and pick it up later."
This arrangement is simply for convenience.
After all, every penny spent needs to be earned back from somewhere else.
Considering that her days in the mountains might be even longer, she began to think about how to use her time and resources more effectively.
"Don't worry, sir. I guarantee you'll be satisfied! Our craftsmanship is one of the best in town!"
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Ran He walked out of the store and wandered aimlessly on the street.
Thinking about the large amount of shopping today, if I take everything home at once, it would be too ostentatious and would easily attract unnecessary attention and trouble.
In this world, it’s always right to be low-key.
In fact, since leaving the clinic, she has quietly deposited the one hundred taels of silver into her own secret space, which was immediately converted into two thousand points.
In the future, no matter what the needs are, they can be solved with a simple exchange, which will invisibly add a lot of convenience to her life.
Just as she was about to go home, the scene in front of her made her stop.
It was a famous place of entertainment in the town. Rumor had it that it had the secret support of the government, so it acted in a high-profile and reckless manner.
The person standing at the door was Zhang Qiaohua's husband, Zhao Laosan.
In the original owner's memory, this person would occasionally show up in the town. Who would have thought that after he had exposed his true identity, he still had the courage to parade around. His heart was truly astonishing.
Some people appear to be honest and simple-minded on the outside, but are actually very bold and reckless. Their true colors are usually not revealed because they are good at hiding.
Obviously, Zhang Qiaohua did not investigate the matter further, otherwise Zhao Laosan would not have dared to be so arrogant.
However, what did this have to do with her? As long as Zhang Qiaohua didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, she didn't intend to pay attention to the dirty deeds of the couple.
But if her bottom line is touched, then exposing their scandals is their own fault and she will never show mercy.
When we got outside the town, we thought that Wu's family's ox cart should have left long ago, but we unexpectedly found that they were still there, seemingly chatting leisurely.
"Oh, you're willing to ride in the ox cart and enjoy it, so why are you going back empty-handed? Are you reluctant to buy even a piece of meat, or have you become completely poor after eating the rabbit meat and don't even have money to buy meat?"
Mother Wu was holding the newly bought meat, her face full of boasting.
In the village, there are only a handful of families that buy five kilograms of meat at one time, and her family is considered generous.
If she knew that Ran He bought a thousand kilograms of meat in one go, I wonder what kind of expression would be on her face.
Those mere five pounds of meat would probably seem shabby and not worth mentioning in front of a thousand pounds.
Wu Yue's face looked a little ugly. He had clearly asked his mother to buy some good meat for Ran He to nourish his body.
What they brought back were the scraps left after oil refining. How nutritious could such meat be?
Mother, since you have decided to buy meat, why don’t you buy some high-quality meat with both fat and lean meat?
Although thrift is a virtue, we shouldn't be so stingy!
Fortunately, the meat was carefully wrapped in oil paper, otherwise it would be in disarray if it was carelessly held in the hand.
The texture and luster of the meat will probably reveal the secret of its value in no time.
There is no need to show off as it will only make you boring.
Ran He seemed to have heard nothing about Wu Yue's sarcastic words.
She stood quietly aside, as if all the noise around her had nothing to do with her.
And those villagers who were also waiting for the ox cart gradually showed impatience as time passed.
After all, waiting for a long time under the scorching sun is enough to make people feel irritated.
What's more, they had to witness Wu Yue's somewhat deliberate showing off, which caused everyone to feel an indescribable sadness.
"Now we can finally set off, right? The sun is almost burning our heads, and the pot at home is still cold, waiting to be cooked!"
Finally, someone couldn't hold back his anxiety and spoke in a hurry.
