If she hadn't paid yet, He Jiuniang would have been happy to take advantage of the situation, but since she had already paid, there was no reason to take it back. So she said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I've already bought it."

The man then winked at the woman: "In that case, go and fetch two bolts of fine cotton cloth to give to our benefactor!"

The woman understood and immediately went to fetch two bolts of fine cotton cloth, each with a different pattern, showing that she had considered everything carefully.

He Jiuniang glanced at it and found it to be several sizes better than the one she had just chosen. The price of these two bolts of cloth was equivalent to the nine bolts she had just bought.

"In that case, thank you very much."

He Jiuniang readily accepted the gift, after all, she had indeed saved his son and deserved the title of benefactor.

"No need to thank me, I should be the one thanking my benefactor. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what would have happened to my son."

The man gave a bitter laugh; he had truly worried himself sick over the years for his son.

"This condition is difficult to cure completely; we can only rely on medication to reduce the frequency of attacks and pay close attention to observation."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, my benefactor!"

The man responded very politely, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't introduced himself, so he hurriedly said, "My surname is Yu, and my given name is Tao. If you ever need any cloth in the future, please come to Fengchenfang. I will definitely give you the lowest price!"

That's really a good idea, since they'll be making feather clothing for their family in the future, and there will be plenty of places where they'll need fabric.

"In that case, I really want to discuss a business deal with you, Mr. Yu. I'll come to the cloth shop in three days to talk to you in detail."

Yu Tao readily agreed, and He Jiuniang mounted her horse and rode away.

Yu Tao watched her leave and instructed the woman beside him, "This is the benefactor who saved the young master's life. Take good care of her from now on."

"Yes, boss."

He Jiuniang returned with a full load, and was immediately surrounded by villagers as soon as she entered the village.

"Buying so much stuff? Wow, how much did all this fabric cost?"

"Oh, this is fine cotton cloth, isn't it? This is a luxury item that only wealthy people can afford!"

"That's the downside of having a large family; you have to buy so much of everything, and the expenses are huge!"

"Hey, what business is it of yours what they spend so much on? The Lu family can build such a big house, how could they be short of money?"

...

He Jiuniang, riding on her horse, smiled perfunctorily, gave a few casual replies, and then told Hong Mudan to hurry home.

The moment I saw the puppy squatting on the open ground building blocks, I realized I had forgotten to buy a hairpin for Lotus!

Don't panic, don't panic, thankfully I have some space!

She quickly took out a bronze hairpin from her spatial storage. After all, it was a postmodern artifact, much more exquisite than anything from this era.

The top features a vibrant butterfly and flower design, with both the butterflies and flowers appearing lifelike, making it perfect for a young girl in her prime like Lianhua.

She carefully placed it in her arms before calling out, "Doggy."

"Mother!"

The dog came running over excitedly and asked, "Mommy, did you bring flowers for Sister Lotus?"

He Jiuniang was very displeased. Good heavens, he hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already starting to forget his mother!

But she quickly comforted herself, thinking, "Forget it, I've lived two lives, I won't bother with a little kid."

"I bought it. Your hands are dirty, go wash them before you come back to get them!"

He Jiuniang jumped off her horse and went inside. Yu Shi and the others had just returned from digging for medicinal herbs and came out to help her carry the things.

"Why did you buy so much fabric? This...this must be fine cotton, right? This material is top-quality!"

Ms. Yu touched the delicate and soft fabric and was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She had never used such fine fabric before!

"Oh, these two bolts of cloth were a gift from the cloth shop owner; the rest I bought. Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

He Jiuniang carried her basket inside, took out all the things she had bought, and then recounted how she had saved the cloth shop owner's son.

"Well, I didn't really help much. I just happened to be at the clinic and they were short-handed, so I lent a hand. Who knew the cloth shop owner would be so polite? Hehehe..."

Mrs. Sun expressed doubt about her words: "It's just a favor, why would someone give you something so nice?"

"Yes, and they kept calling me their benefactor, which made me feel really embarrassed!"

He Jiuniang nodded very sincerely. Sun Shi didn't believe her, but she had no evidence.

"Mother, my third sister-in-law has been having good luck lately, nothing is impossible!"

Yu now has blind confidence in He Jiuniang, not only not doubting herself, but also trying to make others not doubt her either.

Sun glanced at her, thinking to herself, "Why is the eldest daughter-in-law getting more and more clueless lately?"

But she didn't say it aloud and pretended to believe it.

Looking at those brightly colored fabrics, the old lady became somewhat displeased: "Are you going to a beauty pageant or something, wearing all this gaudy stuff?"

The Yu family members kept their heads down and didn't say anything. In any case, they really liked it. They had never worn such bright and beautiful fabric before, not even on their wedding day.

My third sister-in-law always manages to choose things that align with her aesthetic sense.

"Mother, what's wrong with that? All the women in the family are young and beautiful, so we should take advantage of our youth to dress up nicely. Besides, everyone loves beauty!"

He Jiuniang stuffed the colorful fabrics into the hands of her sisters-in-law and said, “Sisters, I can’t make clothes, so I’ll trouble you to make a set for me and Gou’er. By the way, this is fine cotton fabric that I specially bought to make undergarments. Each of us, including Mother and Lianhua, can have one. As for those two bolts of fine fabric, we can make them into undergarments and trousers to wear next to our skin. If we wear them underneath, no one will know, so they won’t attract attention.”

Sun was initially reluctant to use up all that fabric at once, especially the two bolts of fine cotton cloth, feeling it would be a waste of good stuff.

But this thing was a gift from someone to He Jiuniang, and He Jiuniang was willing to take it out for everyone to use, which was also her way of showing her appreciation, so she didn't say anything.

Seeing that Madam Sun did not object, Madam Qin said, "I think it's fine. The undergarments can be made into short styles, which will not waste fabric and will be enough to make a set for Father, Mother and the children in the family!"

"Forget about your dad and those mischievous kids, they're all tough and thick-skinned, it's a waste of good stuff. Just make one set for each of us and the girls!"

Sun suddenly spoke up, drawing a surprised look from He Jiuniang: "Ms. Sun, your thinking is so ahead of its time! I absolutely adore you!"

He Jiuniang hugged Sun Shi tightly. If Sun Shi hadn't been pushing her away in disgust, she would have given Sun Shi a kiss on the cheek.

In this era of male chauvinism, the best things in the house were reserved for the men. But Madam Sun never favored men over women. Although she could be fierce at times, she also loved the women in her family.

"Get out of the way! It's so annoying!"

Sun tried her best to pull her away, showing extreme disgust.

Ms. Sun, what exactly does she mean by this?
