Chapter 190 Daily Shopping

Zhou He's words are shocking even in modern times. Baozhu, Xiaohua and Anan in the back room were all shocked by these words.

How can a man not want children?

Yin Huaixi looked up to Zhou He.

There are so many men in the world, few of them would harm their own bodies for their wives, especially in ancient times when husbands were the most important thing for a woman.

"Are you sure? Don't need to think about it again?"

Zhou He nodded affirmatively.

He and his wife already had a son and a daughter, and he had exiled them here with him, which was already very unfair to the children. He didn't want to have another child and let the child suffer.

Moreover, Mingwei would suffer a lot if she got pregnant. Her family had a habit of having twins, which was really worrying.

The last time I gave birth, I almost had a miscarriage, but I was saved by the use of high-quality ginseng slices and the care of a famous doctor.

Now, he has nothing. He can't even afford a ginseng beard, so how can he have the face to have a child?

Since it is impossible to stop being intimate with your wife forever, then you should stop it from the source. As long as you cut off the offspring, you won't have to worry about being intimate with your wife in the future.

"But, um, is the medicine effective, is it possible..."

Zhou He was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Yin Huaixi roughly understood what he meant. She hoped that there would be no heir, but she also hoped that it would not affect their married life in the future.

"The medicine is guaranteed to be the mildest, with no side effects. But I'm still short of two more medicines, so I'll prescribe them for you tomorrow."

Zhou He quickly agreed, then ran out of the yard as if he was chased by a dog.

Jiang Wan: “…”

It was the first time she saw Zhou Erbo like this.

"Wan Wan~"

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Bring me the list of tonic herbs. I want to add a few more."

Jiang Wan responded and went back to the house to get the list. After A Niang finished adding the ingredients, she took it and saw that there were more herbs such as Tripterygium wilfordii and Sophora flavescens.

She didn't know much about these medicinal herbs, so she just took a quick look and put the list back.

Tomorrow she is going to the city with her cousin. Last time Yinzhu also said she wanted to go with them, so Jiang Wan simply went to inform Yinzhu again.

The next morning she got up early and prepared to go out.

Yinzhu arrived quickly, wearing her best clothes, carrying a small backpack on her back, her face full of excitement.

She hadn't been to the city for a long time since her parents passed away. It was rare that someone was with her this time.

After the two of them gathered, they went to Yin's house, and Yin Ning was almost ready.

Song Wenhui was a little worried about the three little girls going into the city, but her daughter and Xiaowan both had self-defense medicine with them, so there shouldn't be any problems.

She herself had things to do, so she couldn't go with them today. She could only give the three maids detailed instructions and send them to the ferry.

After the three of them entered the city together, they first went to the nearest bookstore to help Yinzhu pick out paper and pens for Jinbao. Then they went to the pharmacy and bought a bunch of medicinal herbs.

Of course, the spices that Jiang Wan wanted were mixed in.

The herbs she bought had all been processed, and although the packages looked big, they were actually very light.

Jiang Wan could carry the baby by herself, but with her cousin accompanying her, it was not her turn to help.

The three girls bought a lot of things and finally went to the embroidery workshop.

Only then did Yinzhu realize that Yin Ning was going to teach the village girls how to embroider!

She really wanted to learn it, but after trying a few times before, she could only sew clothes at best and had no talent for embroidery.

"Which piece of cloth do you think I should choose?"

Yin Ning stood in front of a pile of the cheapest cloth and asked the two people questions.

The cloth used for introductory exercises was definitely the cheapest, but she was a little undecided about the color.

It would take a long time to embroider and then take it apart and embroider it again, so she wanted to choose a better one.

Yinzhu couldn't help but smacking her lips.

"Aning, what's the difference between you taking apprentices like this and not charging any money? Cloth is so expensive, and you have to teach so many people. Needlework also costs money. Two hundred coins a month is not enough, right?"

"That's enough. This cloth is not useless once it's embroidered. You have to take it apart after embroidery, and then continue embroidering."

"Then you might as well buy some scraps of cloth to practice with. After all, they can be pieced together to form a large piece of cloth."

As soon as Yinzhu finished speaking, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.

"Why didn't I think of the rags?! Yinzhu, you have a really smart brain!!"

Jiang Wan tugged at her cousin.

"Cousin, let's just buy scraps of cloth. We really don't need whole pieces of cloth at the beginning of teaching. It would be a shame to waste them if we buy them back."

Yin Ning hesitated.

"Then let's take a look at the scraps of cloth first. If they are too shredded, forget it."

Jiang Wan had no objection, so she turned around and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was already somewhat familiar with the two sisters because he often bought Yin Ning's embroidery. When he heard that they wanted to see the scraps of cloth, he immediately asked someone to get them out.

It's a pretty big bag. When you open it, all the colors are mixed together, making it a mess.

Jiang Wan flipped through the scraps and saw a lot of them. Some were as big as her fist, which could be embroidered directly. Some were thin, but they were useless even if they were spliced ​​together. Some were even the size of a longan, which was completely useless.

There are some relatively large pieces of cloth inside, but there are more small pieces of cloth. These are the leftovers from making clothes, shoes and socks.

"Shopkeeper, can we pick one?"

Jiang Wan was not afraid of embarrassment and asked the female shopkeeper sweetly.

The shopkeeper smiled.

"Of course you can choose. Usually these are picked and bought by others. If you came a little later, I guess they would be what others have picked."

Hearing this, Jiang Wan immediately became rude and immediately pulled her cousin and Yinzhu together to carefully pick out the scraps of cloth from the bag.

After some careful selection, the three of them picked out all the larger pieces of cloth in the bag.

When they are piled together, there is also a small bag.

"Shopkeeper, how much are these pieces of cloth?"

"These are weighed. Bring them here and I'll weigh them and you'll know."

Jiang Wan was stunned. It was the first time she heard that things in an embroidery shop were sold by weight. She handed the pile of cloth to the shopkeeper and saw with her own eyes that she weighed out more than four pounds.

"A pound of rags costs twenty cents. Give me eighty cents for these."

Eighty cents...

All three of them felt that it was not very expensive and that the embroidering girls would use it for a long time.

Yin Ning picked out some more needlework and paid for it readily.

After leaving the embroidery workshop, Jiang Wan originally wanted to take her cousin and Yinzhu out for some good food. However, they had too many things on them and it was a little inconvenient to walk, and Yinzhu was afraid that she would damage the paper and pen in the backpack, so she kept saying that she wanted to go home.

So Jiang Wan gave up the idea of ​​eating delicious food and obediently followed her cousin and Yinzhu to the pier to take a boat.

Because there were only three people in the boat and it was not full, the boatman waited for a while until three more people got on before he rowed the boat away from the pier.

One of the three people looked very familiar to Jiang Wan. Before she could say anything to her cousin, the man jumped up and pointed at her and cursed her.

"It's you, little girl!!!"

Jiang Wan turned her head and waved her hand in front of her nose.

"How can I be as smelly as you, young master? You just got out of jail, right? Did you wash yourself? I heard that the jail was full of shit and urine, and there were lots of rats~"

He Mingkui was shaking with anger. Jiang Wan's words reminded him of some bad things and his face turned red.
