Chapter 213 Cotton Quilt



Yesterday, Wu Chen was dressed better than him, but after taking a bath last night, Wu Chen put on his old clothes. Wei Yuyan thought it looked strange and didn't suit his temperament.

"Sir, your clothes are too old. I'll go to town and buy you two sets later."

Leng Feng couldn't stand it anymore. These clothes were clearly for farmers, but they looked completely out of place on the man.

"I think it's great."

Wu Chen didn't find it unattractive; on the contrary, he found it very comfortable, feeling free, relaxed, and unconstrained.

"Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, come and have breakfast. Your sister-in-law is going to town to buy meat later. Do you want to come?"

With the children in school, they had fewer opportunities to go to town, so Wei Yuyan asked them if they wanted to go for a stroll.

"No," Xiao Lei shook his head. He had made an appointment with Xiao Pang yesterday to go to the foot of the mountain to find bird eggs today.

"I'm not going either."

Qianqian didn't want to go either; she had wanted to go before because she wanted to eat delicious food.

Later, he found that even if he didn't go, his sister-in-law would bring back delicious food, so he became too lazy to go.

"Alright, then I'll go with Leng Feng."

Wei Yuyan nodded, respecting their ideas.

"I'll go too..."

Wu Chen also wanted to go, seizing every opportunity to spend time with Wei Yuyan.

"Sir, we're just going to buy meat, what are you going to do there?"

Leng Feng didn't really want to take Wu Chen along. After so many days of bumpy travel, couldn't he at least get some rest?

"Ahem~ Didn't you say the clothes were ugly? I'm going to buy some clothes. Don't be nosy."

Wu Chen had no choice but to back down, and glared at Leng Feng, wondering when this guy had become so talkative.

"yes".

After they finished eating, the children took their dogs out, and Wei Yuyan reminded them to take their keys with them.

"Let's go."

The cold wind brought the horse from the woodshed. It's quite cold at night now, so we unloaded the cart last night and left it in the woodshed.

"Leng Feng, wouldn't it be too stifling to keep it locked in the woodshed?"

Wei Yuyan felt that the woodshed was too small, had no windows, and was not well ventilated.

"No, it's in good condition."

Leng Feng re-hitched the carriage, brought a stool to the door, and then helped Wu Chen into the carriage.

"Sister-in-law, let's go."

Leng Feng gestured for her to enter, and Wei Yuyan then realized that she was going to be in the same carriage as Wu Chen.

Wei Yuyan pursed her lips, braced herself, and got into the carriage. Then she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep so that she wouldn't feel awkward.

Looking at the fair face opposite him, Wu Chen knew she was pretending to be asleep, and couldn't help but smile.

The journey to the town by horse-drawn carriage was actually quite fast, taking less than fifteen minutes, but Wei Yuyan felt it was slower than walking, and she could only pray that they would arrive quickly.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and Wei Yuyan, too relaxed, lurched forward.

Just as Wei Yuyan felt she was about to fall, a hand pulled her away.

Wei Yuyan opened her eyes and realized that she was actually in Wu Chen's arms. She quickly pushed him away and sat up straight.

"Cold Wind, how did you manage to catch the train?"

Wu Chen's tone sounded slightly angry, but only he knew how happy he was inside.

This was the most intimate moment the two had shared since they got married.

"Excuse me, sir, there was a puddle I wasn't looking for. Is everything alright?"

Leng Feng poked his head in and looked at the two of them, asking them a question.

"It's alright, let's go quickly, just be careful."

Wei Yuyan urged, "It feels too hot in this carriage."

Or perhaps someone's gaze was too intense for her to bear, and she just wanted to get to the bottom of it quickly.

"yes".

I drove diligently behind the cold wind and everything went smoothly without incident.

"You guys go look at the clothes, I'll come find you later."

Wei Yuyan pointed to the fabric shop at the entrance of the vegetable market, and then walked into the market without looking back.

"Sir, let's go look at clothes."

Seeing that the old man was still staring blankly at the other person's back, Leng Feng couldn't help but speak up.

"What are you looking at, I have no money."

Wu Chen gave the silver notes to Wei Yuyan yesterday, and kept more than ten taels of silver for himself, but he forgot to take his money bag when he went out just now.

"Oh? Then let's wait for my sister-in-law to come before we buy it."

Leng Feng took the stool off the carriage and helped Wu Chen sit down.

"Why do you call her sister-in-law?"

Wu Chen then noticed that Leng Feng had changed how he addressed Wei Yuyan.

"My sister-in-law said it was strange to call her 'madam,' so she told me to call her 'sister-in-law.'"

Leng Feng broke out in a cold sweat, knowing he dared not presume to call her "sister-in-law."

"..."

Wu Chen nodded, secretly pleased. It seemed that Wei Yuyan still acknowledged him as her husband.

Wei Yuyan went to the meat stall and bought seven catties of pork belly, two catties of pig's trotters, and the butcher also gave her a pig's belly as a gift.

Carrying so much meat back to the carriage, they found the two people still there, motionless.

"Sister-in-law, why did you buy so much meat?"

Leng Feng quickly took the meat from Wei Yuyan's hand and put it on the carriage.

"Hmm, why don't you guys go look at the clothes?"

Wei Yuyan was curious.

"We forgot to bring money, sister-in-law."

Leng Feng said with a grin.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

Wei Yuyan was also going to buy a quilt, so she went inside first, with Leng Feng and Wu Chen following slowly behind.

"Boss lady, do you have any ready-made quilts?"

Wei Yuyan didn't see any cotton quilts in the shop either.

"Yes, how heavy do you want?"

The proprietress put down the abacus beads in her hand.

"Three beds weighing ten pounds each."

Wei Yuyan thought about it for a moment. Winter was so cold and there were so many people in her family, so she decided to buy more at once.

"So many? Take them out and let me see."

When the proprietress saw that Wei Yuyan had bought so much, she quickly went inside and brought out a bed, then opened it for her to see.

"Not bad, your cotton quilts are shot quite well."

Wei Yuyan touched it; it was quite heavy and substantial.

The quality is also good, and Wei Yuyan likes it a lot, so she decided to buy it.

"This year's cotton is new, and this quilt wasn't made by anyone else, it was made by my husband. Of course, it's made of the best materials and the price is reasonable."

Seeing that Wei Yuyan seemed quite satisfied, the proprietress continued.

"What's the price?"

Wei Yuyan wondered if she could try to negotiate the price.

"Three beds for nine hundred coins, that's the most honest price."

The proprietress said with a smile.

"Give me a discount, how about 880 coins? I'm a regular customer here."

Wei Yuyan cut off twenty coins.

"Well... alright, since you bought three beds, eight hundred and eighty coins it is, I'll pack them up for you."

Should we send it over? If we do, we'll have to wait until my husband comes back this afternoon; he's gone to collect cotton.

The proprietress happily tied the quilts together with strips of cloth. She hadn't expected business to be so good today; she had sold three quilts in one go.

"No need to see us off, we've already caught the train, here you go."

Wei Yuyan took a one-tael silver ingot from her money bag and handed it to the proprietress.
