When Xia Anyan took out those pieces of cloth, Wang Chunlan's eyes were glued to them.
These fabrics are all very beautiful; both the workmanship and the patterns are unlike anything she has ever seen before.
That's not the main point. The most important thing is that the quality of these fabrics is simply superb.
Wang Chunlan had heard people say before that the clothes in big cities were exceptionally beautiful and colorful.
She was overwhelmed by the choices and couldn't put down any of them.
"Girl, did you bring all these from over there? The colors there are so beautiful. I've heard people talk about them before, but I've never seen them before."
As she spoke, she touched the fabric with her hand; it was so smooth.
Wang Chunlan was even a little hesitant to touch them, afraid that she might tear the cloth.
Xia Anyan smiled, took one and stuffed it into her arms: "Sister Chunlan, this is just some fabric, nothing precious. I think this pattern is quite nice. Take it and make clothes for your sister-in-law when you get back. If you like any others, just tell me and I'll give them all to you."
Wang Chunlan's eyes widened.
If she understood correctly, Xia Anyan was planning to give the fabric to her directly.
That won't do.
Even if she has a good relationship with Xia Anyan, she can't just take her things for no reason.
Not to mention, she and Xia Anyan had only just met.
She doesn't like to take advantage of others, nor can she.
The things she and Li Cuihua exchanged weren't worth much; they'd just take what was mine and what was hers, and that was how it went.
But this is fabric, and such beautiful fabric at that.
The things Xia Anyan gave us are things that ordinary people can't get; you have to go to Shanghai to buy them. Even if you go there now, it's another matter whether you can buy them.
Wang Chunlan was well aware of her situation; she knew she had nothing to offer, so she would never extend a helping hand.
"Sister, I can't take this for free. If that's what you're saying, then I'll leave now." Wang Chunlan said, putting the cloth on the table and turning to leave.
Xia Anyan did not expect her to react so strongly.
These fabrics were taken from her home before; she didn't spend any money on them, she got them from that mother and daughter.
I originally intended to give it to Wang Chunhua to cheer her up and also to make a friend.
But who would have thought that Wang Chunhua would be so resistant?
Her personality of not liking to take advantage of others is really good, and Xia Anyan likes her very much.
"Oh, sister-in-law, don't go! I haven't finished speaking yet. Why didn't you let me finish?"
Xia Anyan grabbed Wang Chunlan's hand and forcibly pulled her back.
Wang Chunlan wasn't really angry with her; she just wanted Xia Anyan to understand her feelings.
"Girl, I'm not befriending you because I'm after these things you have. If you give me this today, and other people find out, they'll all be trying to get it from you."
"But didn't you buy all these things with money? They didn't fall from the sky, so you can't just give them away like that."
“I know you think we have a good relationship and don’t care about such a small thing, but I, Wang Chunlan, am not that kind of person.”
Xia Anyan smiled and pulled the person to sit on the stool next to her.
She poured Wang Chunlan a cup of herbal tea before smiling and saying, "Sister-in-law, you really have a temper. I haven't even said two words and you're already angry."
"If you really feel bad about taking these things, then help me find a few trustworthy people to get me some dried vegetables."
“What I said today is true. My grandfather and godfather are both men. They need to make a living after coming here. They can’t rely on buying everything. The weather is getting colder and colder. They need money for food and drink. Even if we have a lot of money and coupons, we can’t afford it.”
"So, I thought I'd buy more dried vegetables, so that at least we can eat them in the winter and make this winter a little easier for them. We'll consider other businesses next spring when the weather gets warmer."
After listening to Xia Anyan's words, Wang Chunlan felt that this was indeed the case.
If Xia Anyan wants to buy dried vegetables, she can indeed help.
Is it really necessary to send such an expensive gift when it's just buying dried vegetables?
"Girl, this stuff you gave me could buy so many dried vegetables! Don't think I'm easy to fool and that this stuff is worthless," Wang Chunlan scolded sternly.
She can take advantage of Xia Anyan, but she absolutely cannot treat her as a sucker.
She pulled out some banknotes from her pocket and slammed them on the table: "Girl, I'm telling you this: if you take these banknotes, I'll take them; if you don't, I won't."
"Anyway, I need to buy dried vegetables myself. Asking a few places for you is just a matter of course. Even if you ask other people, they will help you. If I accept your cloth because of this, what kind of person would I be? How could I hold my head up in this compound afterward?"
Xia Anyan knew her temperament; if she said no, she absolutely meant no.
Therefore, Xia Anyan could only take two yuan from the table, then take two cloth coupons, and then stuff the piece of cloth into Wang Chunlan's arms.
"Sister-in-law, can you keep it now?"
Wang Chunlan felt a little reluctant when she saw that she had taken two yuan, but considering that the cloth might be worth more than that, she didn't refuse anymore.
As for what she owes Xia Anyan, she can repay it from other sources.
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Wang Chunlan smiled and folded the cloth neatly, placing it next to her.
She really liked the fabric, but she was getting on in years and didn't need to get married or anything, so there was really no need for her to make herself such beautiful clothes.
She looked at the cloth in her hand. After making clothes for her sister-in-law, there was still some left. She could make a little jacket for her own daughter.
Xia Anyan looked at the others and knew that Wang Chunlan probably wouldn't buy any more, so she put them away.
There were also some scraps of fabric in the space, leftovers from Xia Anhua's previous clothes-making.
She didn't care and even wanted to throw them away, even though those scraps of cloth were actually quite nice.
Xia Anyan casually picked out a few pieces and took them to Wang Chunlan.
"Sister-in-law, you should take these too. I don't know how to make clothes, so it would be a waste for me to keep them."
Wang Chunlan looked at what Xia Anyan was holding and confirmed that it was indeed a good thing.
She was just thinking about making a little jacket for her daughter, and she was also thinking about these things that she couldn't and shouldn't do.
Now that we have this, there's absolutely no problem.
