Han Quan's vanity was greatly satisfied. He finally felt Cui Yufang's smile, and his mood was as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
When Cui Yulu and her group arrived at the fabric shop, they saw that Grandma and Chen Jinfeng had bought a lot of fabric, including items for Han Bao and Lin Qiaoyue's wedding.
Lin Qiaoyue blushed when she saw the fabric and lowered her head in embarrassment.
When Liu Xiuying saw them return empty-handed, she couldn't help but glance at her grandson.
"Why didn't you buy anything for Qiaoyue?"
Han Bao scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Something came up in the middle, so I couldn't make the purchase."
"It's alright, Grandma will take you to buy some later. We also need to buy some Yulu. She'll be of marriageable age on the 12th of next month, and she'll be a big girl."
Liu Xiuying looked at Cui Yulu with eyes full of affection.
"Did you two buy anything?"
"This fabric shop is having a promotion; you can save a lot of money buying fabric now."
Cui Yulu looked at the people coming and going in the cloth shop. Everyone was carrying a lot of cloth, but no one had prepared winter clothes for the winter.
"Grandma, let's get some winter clothes. It might be very cold this winter."
This is a premonition given to her by the koi fish; she doesn't know if it's accurate, but she'll give it a try.
"Haha, preparing winter clothes? Are you crazy? Every winter here is like this. After a few snowfalls, everything is fine. Is it really necessary to buy winter clothes?"
No one noticed that Han Jinling and Cui Liushi had gotten together and were also buying fabric, but they didn't dare to buy things like the Han family.
Therefore, I was very jealous of them.
"What bad luck! I keep running into you guys wherever I go."
Han Bao grumbled unhappily, only to be kicked in the back by Liu Xiuying.
"Then let's listen to Yulu, it can't be wrong. Let's prepare some for you too, in case the weather changes."
Liu Xiuying trusted her granddaughter-in-law. Chen Jinfeng saw how well the old lady treated the younger generation, and believed that Qiaoyue would not suffer if she married into the family.
Cui Liu pursed her lips and remained silent. She could show off a bit when Han Quan arrived later, but why hadn't that brat come over yet?
When the shopkeeper heard that someone wanted to buy winter clothes, he quickly ran over.
Every year, their fabric shop would buy some winter clothes, but they couldn't sell them. Now, hearing that someone wanted winter clothes, they were overjoyed.
"It's a girl who wants winter clothes. We're having a promotion on winter clothes right now. How many do you want? I'll give you a discount."
"The cotton-padded coats here are supplied to the front-line troops. They are lightweight and warm, and a set only costs three qian of silver. How much do you want?"
Cui Yulu counted on her fingers how many people were in her family. Based on two sets of clothes for each person, they would need twenty-two sets, but Niu Niu and Abu might not even have enough.
So there are a total of twenty sets at home, and we need to calculate the number of sets as well.
"Grandma, how about we take thirty sets first, and we also need some quilts?"
When Manager Zhang heard that this was a big customer, he was so happy that he wrinkled his face even more.
"Since you need so many items, our store can provide delivery service."
"Is that so? Then bring ten more sets of cotton quilts, the thicker the better. Also, does the shopkeeper know which shop nearby sells good charcoal?"
Manager Zhang noted down the quantity and asked the shop assistants to prepare the items. He was even happier when he heard that she also needed charcoal.
"Turn left at the street corner ahead, there's a charcoal shop there, the owner is my wife, mention me and you'll get a discount."
Manager Zhang's eyes were practically closed with laughter. This was truly a huge deal; he had earned more money in one day than in the previous three months combined.
The abacus clicked away, and the smile on his face never stopped.
"I'll go over to the charcoal fire. You guys wait here."
Han Bao felt a pang of heartache at the thought of spending so much money, but he knew that his grandmother would definitely listen to Cui Yulu, so there was no point in him saying anything more. He decided to take over the charcoal business himself.
"Here are five taels of silver to buy two hundred catties of charcoal. That should be enough."
“Grandma, we don’t need that much. Charcoal costs three coins a pound, so two hundred pounds would only cost six hundred coins. We don’t need that much.”
"Silly boy, here's what's left for you. You can decide how to spend it, okay?"
Han Bao was overjoyed at the news, almost jumping for joy, but he still had to maintain his composure in front of Lin Qiaoyue.
The remaining money is just enough to buy her a gift. I'll secretly give it to her later, and she'll definitely be happy.
Han Jinling was insanely jealous of how this family spent money without batting an eye.
In the past, the Han family would think twice about whether a single penny was worth spending, but now they spend so much money without even blinking an eye. They've really become rich!
"You had such good taste in marrying your niece to the Han family. Now that they're doing well and have bought so many things, they haven't bought you anything. What an ingrate!"
Cui Liu was already extremely envious, and now, after hearing this instigation, she was even more furious.
She glared at Cui Yulu with her puffy eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "That's for sure. I'll just consider it a waste of my time raising a daughter. If a wolf bites you, can you bite the wolf back?"
Cui Liushi spoke very loudly, and the Han family over there had already heard her. However, Cui Yulu didn't want to pay any attention to her. She figured that a few words from her wouldn't affect her, so she just let her have her say whatever she wanted.
If the words are really harsh, she will naturally retaliate.
Cui Liu's words were like punching cotton; they didn't make a ripple at all. Feeling awkward, she stopped talking.
He cursed his daughter in his heart, wondering why the brat wasn't coming over yet.
