But to make them fit perfectly, everyone would have to weave one.
After mentally estimating the number, the village head frowned.
"The eldest brother sent a message saying that there is probably a war outside and food is very scarce."
"If all the money is spent on sweaters, there won't be enough food to eat, and that will be difficult to manage."
The village headman became increasingly agitated.
They were alright; they still had some surplus grain.
But if everyone else is out of food and only your family has some, wouldn't that make people envious?
