"Tomorrow, Mom will go to town with Uncle Mo first. When Mom comes back, I'll bring you two to Grandpa Mo's house, okay?" Li Rouniang thought for a moment. There was only her father left at home, along with Xiaoshan. If her two children went there, Grandpa Mo would inevitably be distracted. So she decided to wait until the afternoon to bring them together.

"Alright then." Da Ni nodded obediently.

The next morning, Li Rouniang took Sanni and went to town with Mo Bei. Before leaving, she told Da Ni and Er Ni to stay home and wait for her to come back.

Mo Bei wasn't a talkative person to begin with. He pushed a cart loaded with pork, with Li Rouniang carrying Sanni behind him.

He had some insomnia last night, and now, being with Li Rouniang, his heart was inexplicably racing again. He didn't know why he was feeling this way.

"What kind of clothes do you like, a long robe or a short jacket?" Li Rouniang asked with a smile.

"Short clothes are better, they're easier to wear while working," Mo Bei replied after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, and what about Uncle Mo?"

"Father, make him a long robe," Mo Bei replied after thinking for a moment.

“Alright, what color fabric do you think would be suitable for Old Man Mo?” Li Rouniang asked.

“Darker colors, like dark blue, dark purple, or dark gray should all work,” Mo Bei said.

“Okay, then I’ll choose the color you said. What color do you like?” Li Rou Niang nodded and asked.

"I'll just go with whatever," Mo Bei said, not particularly concerned about the color of the clothes.

But sometimes he would think that if this dress was sewn stitch by stitch by Li Rouniang, and he wore it, it would be as if Rouniang's hands were touching his body. Thinking this, he would blush again.

The two soon arrived in town. "Mo Bei, I'm going to buy some fabric first," Li Rou Niang greeted him, planning to meet him at the town entrance later.

"Rou Niang, come with me to sell pork first, then I'll go with you to buy fabric." Mo Bei had been instructed by his father to pay for it.

Li Rouniang had no choice but to go with Mo Bei to sell pork. They easily found their way to the backyard of a small restaurant. The waiter opened the door, and soon the head chef came out: "Brother Mo, what fresh wild game have you brought this time? Oh my, wild boar meat! This is quite rare."

The chef was quite talkative, and then, seeing Li Rouniang standing next to Mo Bei, he smiled and said, "Is this your sister-in-law? Are you planning to go shopping together after you've sold out?"

"Weigh it first and see how much it costs?" Mo Bei didn't argue; he felt there was no need to explain. But then he thought it wouldn't be appropriate not to explain. Just as he was about to say something more, the chef had already efficiently ordered someone to carry the wild boar meat into the backyard to weigh it, then handed the money to Mo Bei, and said with a smile, "Well done, young Mo, you're lucky. Your wife is really beautiful. Take your wife and child for a stroll."

Mo Bei's intended rebuttal remained stuck in his throat. After taking the money, the two headed towards the cloth shop, and Mo Bei quickly explained, "I didn't mean it, don't be angry."

"What?" Li Rouniang was baffled.

"I didn't mean to not explain to them just now. I just felt there was no need for outsiders to know about our relationship. Please don't mind," Mo Bei said.

"It's alright." Li Rouniang hadn't paid any attention to it at all.

The two quickly arrived at the fabric shop that Li Rouniang had visited last time. The same proprietress greeted them warmly as they entered: "Oh, sister, it's been a long time! Did you bring your husband with you? Where are those two little cuties from last time?"

The proprietress still remembered Li Rouniang. Of course she did, because Li Rouniang had been the biggest customer from her shop over the past month.

"They're both at home, ma'am. I'd like to choose some fabric for men's clothing." Li Rouniang didn't explain further.

The proprietress, with her knowing enthusiasm, recommended all sorts of fabrics to Li Rongniang. Li Rongniang was dazzled by the choices, but in the end, Mo Bei made the decision and bought a lot. Mo Bei paid, carried the fabric on his shoulder, and the two walked out.

Li Rouniang was tugged at by the proprietress, who gave her a teasing look: "Your husband looks very robust. You're very lucky!"

Li Rouniang blushed slightly, unsure how to answer. So this was what a boss lady was like.

After leaving the cloth shop, the two walked towards the edge of town. On the way back, Li Rouniang's mood became complicated.

Sometimes she lamented how unpredictable life is and how she had met the wrong person. If she had met Mo Bei from the beginning, she would probably be living a very happy life now.

She thought again of Mo Bei's wife, who had passed away long ago. Knowing Mo Bei's personality, he must have been devastated. Alas, fate is truly cruel!

Leaving aside Li Rouniang and the others, back home, Zhao Dahua got up early the next day to go back to Zhao Pozi's place, but Zhao Dazui stopped her and said unhappily, "Why do you always run to your parents' house? What kind of talk is this? Go, go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables."

He then tossed Zhao Dahua a tattered basket and a small hoe. Zhao Dahua dared not disobey, so she reluctantly took the basket and hoe and went up the mountain.

Last night, Wu Xiucai waited and waited for Zhao Dahua, but she didn't come. So, early this morning, he lingered in front of Zhao Dazui's house. When he saw Zhao Dahua come out, he quickly and secretly followed her.

Seeing Zhao Dahua walk up the mountain and find no one around, Wu Xiucai quickly came out and hugged her from behind. Zhao Dahua was startled, but when she turned around and saw that it was Wu Xiucai, she felt relieved.

"Brother Wu, what brings you here?" Zhao Dahua asked.

"You little ingrate, you still have the nerve to say that? I waited for you all night yesterday, have you forgotten our promise?" Wu Xiucai said with some reproach.

Zhao Dahua then remembered that she had made an appointment with Wu Xiucai to go to her parents' house to retrieve the bracelet and leave it with him. However, she ran into Zhao Dazui as soon as she went out, who snatched the bracelet away. She had no choice but to go back with Zhao Dazui.

I was indeed quite unhappy after I got back, so I forgot about it for a while.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wu, I forgot," Zhao Dahua said softly.

"It's alright, but where's the bracelet?" Wu Xiucai asked anxiously.

The academy has been urging him repeatedly. He originally had enough money to copy the books, but Zhao Dazui took it all, so he doesn't have enough now. He has nowhere to borrow money and is only counting on Zhao Dahua's bracelet.

"Brother Wu, I'm so sorry, my mother-in-law snatched the bracelet away as soon as I stepped out the door." Zhao Dahua looked at Wu Xiucai with a heartbroken expression.

Wu Xiucai was furious upon hearing this, and muttered to himself: "That useless woman!"

But he didn't show it on his face; in his heart, he was scheming about how to earn some more money. It was truly worrying!
