"Who said anything about buying scraps of cloth?" Zhou shi held her head high. With silver in the house, she was brimming with confidence.

The young man glanced at a few people, without saying anything, but his eyes clearly showed that he didn't think much of them.

"Just look for yourselves, but remember, you're only allowed to look, not touch."

Given Tian Guihua's temperament, if they don't like them, then let them go. With money, wouldn't it be easy to buy cloth?

But the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion was well-known in the town. If anyone could own something bought from the Treasure Pavilion, they would definitely be the envy of all the women in the village.

Zhou had set her eyes on a piece of fabric, a delicate pink color. Just by looking at it, she knew it was high quality. She didn't even consider whether or not pink suited her; she just thought it looked beautiful.

I want this.

"That piece is thirty wen per foot." The young man didn't move. He wanted to scare these people away with the price, to let them know what kind of place this was.

Zhou raised her lips in a confident smile, "Thirty copper coins? Just give me ten feet."

Tian Guihua frowned, at her height, five feet and three inches was enough. The eldest daughter-in-law was playing tricks again.

"Mother, you didn't say how much cloth one person was allowed," Zhou shi said, gazing at the rosy pink fabric. She had already imagined herself wearing it and stunning the entire village.

What can Tian Guihua say?

Then everyone choose your own material, one piece per person, to make a set of clothes.

This grandmother-in-law, regardless of who she favors in her heart, will always treat everyone equally on the surface. "Second daughter-in-law, you are just like your elder sister-in-law."

Mrs. Wu wanted to say no, but that would inevitably offend Mrs. Zhou. "Alright, thank you, mother. And thank you, elder sister-in-law."

Zhou shi's heart wasn't very happy. She felt that Wu shi was used to taking advantage of others, and all the unpleasant things like being scolded and disliked were done by herself. Yet, she still got to enjoy the benefits.

However, she really liked this piece of fabric.

"Don't pick pink, it's already my choice. It would be embarrassing if we both wore the same color."

She was afraid that Wu would learn her secret, then she wouldn't be the only one in the whole village.

"Alright, sis-in-law. I'll choose this one."

Zhou glanced and smiled, "It's quite pretty."

Actually, she thought it wasn't pretty at all, too old-fashioned. It would be better suited for their mother-in-law....

Fu Dajin and Fu Erjin were chosen by their respective wives, while the rest of the younger ones were selected by Tian Guihua.

Tian Guihua was too lazy to choose, so she just picked a piece of cloth. It saved her trouble. Her son wasn't a daughter; it didn't matter if the clothes were pretty or not. As long as they weren't revealing his butt, what did it matter?

She always treated Fu Baiwan equally, but in fact, she was a hypocrite too.

The sons could choose whatever they wanted, but the little girl couldn't. She picked out several colors: pink, red, yellow, and even a field of honeysuckle.

"Mother, didn't you say to do everything yourself?" Zhou shi couldn't help but notice that her mother-in-law was giving fabric for her younger sister.

"Why does your sister-in-law have so many?"

"Wow, you're so small! Five of you wouldn't even equal one of you."

Tian Guihua glared at her, "If you think it's unfair, then I don't want anything from your father, just buy it for Jiujiu."

"Mother, I'll give some to my sister too."

"Mine too."

"I don't want it either."

Seeing her nephews come out one by one, Zhou shi pouted. She knew she had angered them all.

"Mom, you misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way. I was just afraid you wouldn't choose well, so I wanted to help pick out something for you. Little sister, do you like this piece the elder sister-in-law chose?"

Zhou held up a piece of material to show Fu Jiujiu.

Fu Jiujiu wouldn't know her mind, this sister-in-law is simply beyond praise. Just now she thought she was amazing, but now she's finished herself off.

"Sister-in-law, look at your sister-in-law!"

However, Fu Jiujiu was not pleased and looked elsewhere.

Zhou was left out in the cold, quite embarrassed. However, no one wanted to pay her any attention.

In their twenties, and they're actually fighting over toys with a baby.

Zhou pouted at Fu Dajing, and Fu Dajing could only shrug and smile wryly. What else could he say?

"Humph." Fu Jiu Jiu clutched a piece of fabric, saying nothing and refusing to let go.

Tien Kuei-hua guessed at her little daughter's thoughts, "Brother has one already, Chi-chi."

However, the little girl shook her head.

Fu Baiman took a deep breath and raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that Jiujiu wants to give Four Golden?"

Tian Guihua was skeptical. "Really? We only met once that day. Could he possibly remember?"

A baby of eight or nine months old normally wouldn't remember things, but Fu Baiman felt that her little girl was different from others.

"Yes."

"Really?" Tian Guihua laughed. "You old thing, you think your daughter is different."

Fu Baiman is not modest at all in front of his family. "Well, my daughter is different, my daughter is a lucky star."

“I thought she was talking about Tang Qi, and I even bought him a piece of cloth. Everyone in the family has one, except him…”

A piece of cloth from the Treasure Pavilion wouldn't be cheap. Fu Baimian gritted his teeth, thinking that the child was also sensible.

"Fine, I'll buy it. Consider it a gift for Qi Jin. I hope whoever finds him will treat him as well as we treated Tang Qi."

Tian Guihua nodded, but a trace of melancholy still flashed in her eyes.

Where is her little Q7?

When it came time to pay, the young man saw Fu Baiman take out a ten tael silver ingot. He had seen such things before, but it was rare for someone from poor peasantry to possess one.

He regretted his attitude a little. "Uncle, we just got in a batch of jade hairpins, perfect for your wife."

To be honest, Fu Baimian was touched.

Her wife has been with her for half her life, and she hasn't bought her any jewelry. Now that she has money, it wouldn't hurt to buy something.

Tian Guihua saw what he meant, but she couldn't bear to part with the money.

She pointed to the hairpin on her head, "I have a hairpin, made by my son with his own hands. It's not inferior to that jade hairpin and it doesn't break easily. It's very good."

The young lad hadn't paid attention before, but now he noticed she was wearing a hairpin made of zitan wood. Such hairpins weren't cheap even in the shop, and this one seemed familiar to him, though the pattern on the head was different.

When the jade hairpin sales didn't go well, he set his sights on Fu Jiujiu instead. He had just heard that this family dotes on their little milk doll very much.

"Mister, we still have silver bracelets in our shop, just the right size for your little girl. Would you like one?"

Fu Baiman was moved again, and he was willing to spend money on his daughter-in-law and daughter.

This time, Tien Kuei-hua had no objection. Fu Pai-wan asked the others again, "I'm buying silver bracelets for your sister, don't you object?"

I disagree, I didn't disagree back then.

"Your little sister would look so beautiful wearing it, Father. Should we get the one with the bells?"

Fu Baiwan nodded, specifically glanced at Zhou Shi. Zhou Shi was against it in her heart, but at this juncture, she didn't dare to say anything.

I offended someone before.

"Father, look what I'm doing, buying for my younger sister-in-law. I agree to it too."

Come on, anyone can flatter.

The Fu family spent eight taels of silver on all this furnishing. Tian Guihua felt so pained about it.

If you go to other shops, you're sure to save two or three taels of silver.

Two or three taels of silver, if you save a bit, could last you for more than half a year.
