Chapter 33 Big Purchase
The weather was about to get warmer, and although their old clothes were still wearable, they had been patched beyond repair.
Before the family split up, Li Cuicui would only buy new clothes for herself and the men in the family, while the main wife and the women in the family would only have to pick up their leftover clothes to wear.
When you come to the city, you always have to dress decently so that others don’t think your clothes are too inappropriate and affect your business.
They went to the cloth shop again and bought two sets of ready-made clothes for each person, which made eight sets for a family of four.
Although it would save money to make it yourself, Sheng Shuwan is the only one in the family who knows how to do housework, and she is pregnant with twins, so she can't be too tired. So she can only buy ready-made ones.
There were also cloth shoes, and Song Chuman also bought eight pairs.
They often go to the beach and get their shoes wet. In order to avoid getting sick and wasting more money, they have no choice but to buy it with reluctance.
Before coming, Sheng Shuwan told them that they could help her buy some colored threads so that she could make embroidered handkerchiefs and help improve the family's living conditions.
Song Chuman didn't want a pregnant woman with twins to make much money. That would be too mean.
Just wanting her to pass the time, I bought some colored threads and some base cloth for embroidered handkerchiefs.
Everyone's body is in urgent need of nourishment, and the only food available at home is a few dozen kilograms of rice.
Passing by a butcher shop, Song Chuman bought two pounds of pork belly and two pounds of pork ribs, planning to stew them with the kelp at home.
The capital of Xuanling Kingdom is close to the ocean, so pure meat and seafood are more popular. The price of spare ribs is similar to that of ordinary lean meat, so you don’t have to worry about buying them.
Since people here didn't know about kelp, she didn't bring any out to sell.
Now their family is just ordinary people, so if anything goes wrong with the food, they won’t be wrongly accused.
Let's wait for her to promote it later.
When passing by the grain store, Song Chuman bought some flour, rapeseed oil and soy sauce.
Seeing eggs for sale, she also bought thirty eggs.
She really couldn't get used to always eating food without oil.
Breakfast is always porridge, which she is not used to.
Song Chuman knew that ancient seasonings were originally just medicinal herbs and were sold in pharmacies.
When passing by the pharmacy, she really wanted to buy some spices such as star anise and peppercorns.
But thinking that we don’t even have a house at home and we just spent a lot of money, I have no choice but to hold off on buying one for the time being.
I’ll buy it next time when I make money.
She wanted to buy some onions, ginger and garlic, but perhaps because of the cold weather, they were not sold on the street.
Song Chuman suddenly felt something was wrong behind her. She turned around and saw that Song Hexiu had actually stopped at the door of the bookstore.
She glanced at the signboard, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She walked forward and said, "Dad, why don't you go back to school and take the imperial examination? If you pass the exam and become the top scholar, you can protect our family and no one will dare to bully us anymore."
Song Hexiu patted his daughter's head and said with a smile, "I'm already 28 years old. My physical strength and memory can't compare to those young people. I definitely can't beat them in the exam, so let's not waste time."
The family doesn't even have a house and has a family to support. How could he go to school without making money?
After hearing this, Song Chuman stopped trying to persuade him.
She knew what Song Hexiu was thinking.
Just wait, things will definitely get better day by day at home, and she will persuade him then.
She had seen Song Hexiu's knowledge since she was a child.
If he hadn't been suppressed by Li Cuicui all the time, he would never have fallen to the point of being unemployed and would have made a name for himself long ago.
