But Gu Laoer's hand was held by Song Jiao'e, leaving him no chance to let go.
Gu Laoer had no choice but to follow him into the store.
Lu Yan was now directing the cloth pile owner: "I don't have a backpack, and I can't carry it on my shoulders. Can you think of a way for me?"
As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, Song Jiao'e spoke with a smile.
"Fifth brother and sister-in-law, you bought so much, do you have the money?"
Of course Song Jiao'e didn't know that all the ten taels of silver in Gu Laoer's hand had been snatched away by Lu Yan.
At this moment, he is still thinking that he is superior to others.
"No need to trouble my second sister-in-law for this." Lu Yan smiled softly, the disdain in her eyes almost overflowing.
After all, Song Jiao'e was the daughter of the Song family. How could anyone have said such things to her since she was a child? Her face was as black as ink, and when she looked at Lu Yan, her eyes flashed with astonishing hatred.
Yes, it is hate.
The wild rabbit should have belonged to her yesterday, but Lu Yan and Yu Nian ate all the rabbit meat, leaving her to eat the leftovers.
He also took the opportunity to ruin Gu Laoer's reputation.
Song Jiao'e blamed all of this on Lu Yan.
"Madam, it's five hundred coins together." The shopkeeper came forward.
In fact, the shopkeeper had the same concerns at the beginning.
But he couldn't resist Gu Linbei's strong aura, so he hesitated for several times and didn't dare to ask.
Now that Song Jiao'e had given the way, the shopkeeper naturally asked directly.
Lu Yan was about to reach for her sleeve when she saw Gu Linbei was a step ahead. The man moved incredibly quickly, pulling out a string of copper coins and handing them to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan originally thought that he might have to pay out of his own pocket today.
I didn't expect Gu Linbei to be so generous.
She immediately smiled happily: "I knew my husband was the best, thank you."
When the little woman smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. She looked so adorable.
Gu Linbei looked at her smiling face, and his heart seemed to melt as well.
"Impossible, how could you have money?" Song Jiao'e was almost tearful when she saw the situation in front of her.
The Gu family is managed by Old Lady Gu, and each branch of the family will not keep more than one penny of silver.
The silver and money in Gu Laoer and Song Jiao'e's hands were also given by Old Lady Song last night.
But now, Gu Linbei directly gave Lu Yan five hundred coins to buy cloth to make clothes. How could Song Jiao'e accept such a reality?
"Oh my." Yu Nian had been standing there without saying anything, but now she seemed to be watching the fun. "Second sister-in-law, why are you reacting so strongly? Hasn't my second brother ever bought you some fabric to make clothes?"
Only then did Song Jiao'e notice Yu Nian standing behind Lu Yan.
Yu Nian's presence has always been low, so Song Jiao'e has never regarded her as her opponent.
But now when she heard Yu Nian talking, Song Jiao'e felt very uncomfortable.
"Sixth sister-in-law, you are here too." Song Jiao'e said with a forced smile.
"Sister-in-law, has my second brother ever bought you any fabric? If not, why don't you choose some here today?" Yu Nian continued to ask, provoking Song Jiao'e even more: "Even my husband gave me, a new bride, a hundred coins."
Yu Nian's words were like a stab in the heart for Song Jiao'e.
Song Jiao'e had no choice but to enter the house, and the Song family even asked directly for thirty taels of silver.
Although this amount of money is nothing to the Song family, it is very expensive for a farming family like the Gu family.
There is nothing to say about Old Lady Gu's feelings towards Song Jiao'e.
He married Song Jiao'e with a betrothal gift of thirty taels.
After that, he spent another ten taels of silver to buy back Lu Yan and Yu Nian, plus the ten taels of silver that Gu Laoer gave him before he went out today, so a total of fifty taels were spent.
For a farmer, this amount of money is already a huge sum.
"This..." Song Jiao'e pursed her lips. Of course, she was not happy to embarrass herself in front of the two peasant girls.
Song Jiao'e turned around and looked at Gu Laoer.
"My husband, my fifth and sixth sister-in-law both have new clothes, and I want some too."
Even though Song Jiao'e took several pieces of clothing with her when she left the Song family, they were all made of top-quality materials. She wouldn't wear them in her farmhouse on a normal day. So, she just randomly picked two pieces that were durable.
But after a long time, it is inevitable that people will say that you don’t have money to buy clothes.
Meeting Song Jiao'e's expectant gaze, Gu Laoer trembled.
"I……"
He really wanted to say that all the money in his pocket was taken away by Lu Yan.
But at this time, Lu Yan laughed.
"Second brother, please be careful with your words," Lu Yan blinked, a playful smile on her lips: "If you say this wrongly, Second Sister-in-law will punish you by making you kneel on the washboard later."
The first sentence is a threat, and the second sentence is a reminder.
Thinking of the two taels of silver he had just spent to reconnect his hand, Gu Laoer fell silent.
"Husband, are you going to buy it for me or not?"
As soon as Song Jiao'e saw Gu Laoer hesitate, she pressed on again.
The sweat on Gu Laoer's forehead dripped down.
His lips trembled, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words "buy it for Song Jiao'e".
Even though he usually liked Song Jiao'e, Gu Lao Er was well aware of her spending power. Today, if he asked Song Jiao'e to choose fabric for her clothes, she would have to spend at least two taels of silver.
"It seems that my second brother can't afford it."
Next to him, Gu Linbei finally couldn't help but speak at this time.
There was a strong sense of joking in his words, and he looked at Gu Lao Er as if he was looking at a fool.
Song Jiao'e and Gu Laoer had never been so embarrassed before.
Song Jiao'e clenched her hands into fists and looked at the person in front of her with gritted teeth: "Second Brother Gu."
She looked unhappy.
Gu Lao Er kept his mouth shut, but Lu Yan, Gu Linbei and the others all had amusement on their faces.
"Forget it, let's go drive the ox cart early." Lu Yan waved her hand and took the two pieces of cloth tied together in a hang from the shopkeeper and handed them directly to Gu Linbei.
Gu Linbei understood what he meant and took the cloth from Lu Yan's hand.
The three of them swaggered out of the cloth pile.
Gu Lao Er and Song Jiao'e standing next to them were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
Song Jiao'e looked at Gu Laoer with a face full of resentment, her eyes full of disappointment in Gu Laoer: "Husband, what's wrong with you? It's just a set of clothes. Didn't you agree before you came..."
The more Song Jiao'e spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and finally tears fell from her eyes.
Seeing her like this, the displeasure that Gu Laoer had just felt because Song Jiao'e called him "Gu Laoer" completely disappeared.
Gu Lao Er sighed helplessly and said, "I haven't had time to tell you yet..."
Here, Gu Lao Er hurriedly recounted the story of how he had just been humiliated by Lu Yan. Upon hearing this, Song Jiao'e's eyes became even gloomier.
On this side, Lu Yan and Gu Linbei had just walked out of the cloth pile when Lu Yan was tripped by a wonton stall on the side of the road.
The strong aroma of food filled the air, causing Lu Yan to subconsciously touch her stomach.
