Chapter 28: Holding it in your hand

Everyone was given a piece of cloth to make clothes, and there was still a lot left. Zhulan looked at the light-colored cloth given to the young ladies with greedy eyes. She also wanted to make one, but unfortunately she couldn't. She was a grandmother, and if she dared to wear it outside, it would be considered immodest and people would gossip about it, affecting the reputation of all women in the Zhou family.

Zhulan looked at the dark cloth in her hand and felt extremely heartbroken. She even felt that it hurt to breathe. What a shameful ancient times.

Zhao was very happy. Her mother-in-law gave her some cloth and she had new clothes to wear. Her mother loved her. "Mother."

Zhulan trembled when she heard the crying voice. She was really afraid of Zhao and quickly took a piece of fine cotton cloth and said, "Cut this piece into five pieces."

Zhao held back her tears. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief. The cutting was done. Zhulan really admired Zhao. He didn't even need a ruler to measure five equal portions. This feeling was something that not everyone could have.

Zhulan took out a piece of cloth and said, "This piece is for Yushuang and the unborn baby to make lining. Okay, you can also take your cloth back to do needlework!"

She really didn't want to stay with Zhao anymore, fearing that it would affect her brain.

Mrs. Zhao held the cloth, wanting to say something but hesitant. Zhulan ignored his cold expression the whole time. After Mrs. Zhao left, Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief, finally leaving.

Afterwards, she sorted out the fabrics from the old family and felt depressed when she saw what was left. Her original self could make simple clothes, but she couldn't do it with just her memory.

Two little sons, one in junior high school and the other in elementary school, are completely children in modern times, but in ancient times, it would be embarrassing for adults to look after them. Clothes for children of this age cannot be made for my sister-in-law. In ancient times, people were very cautious about these things. When they grow up, it will be said that it is a matter of family tradition, and only she can make them.

It's not enough to just remember how to cut, let alone make clothes. Zhulan felt sick when she thought about her and Zhou Shuren's clothes!

"Mother, mother."

Zhulan's eyes suddenly lit up. Oh my, she has a daughter. "What does Xuehan want to talk to her about?"

Xue Han came running in. "My second brother has come back to pick up my third and fourth brothers. Dad told me to get mom a bowl of noodles to make dumpling soup for them."

Having said that, the dumpling soup at noon was really delicious.

Zhulan then remembered that only her family had three meals a day, and her two sons who were studying were hungry at noon. The two boys didn't think much of it as they were used to being hungry anyway.

As a mother, I was worried about my child. I wanted to get a small stove for the family to eat three meals a day. Unfortunately, my husband disagreed. According to him, one should be energetic only when hungry, and studying is not for enjoyment.

So, with three meals a day at home, the two sons who are studying are hungry every day!

Zhulan, "........"

Xue Han saw that her mother was distracted, "Mom."

Zhulan smiled and said, "Mom, go get the noodles. Can Xuehan help me sort out the fabrics?"

Xue Han's eyes sparkled with joy, "Okay, mother."

Zhulan took the old family's cloth and handed it to Mrs. Li in the kitchen, "This is yours. Go back and make new clothes for everyone in your family."

Li had been staring at Zhao. When Zhao took the cloth, she felt like she was being teased by a cat. She looked at the cloth and found that she had taken more than Zhao. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, mother."

"Well, I'll go get the noodles. You can make the dumpling soup for the third and fourth children. If the bone soup is gone, beat an egg."

Li received the benefit and readily agreed without any jealousy.

Zhulan is really trying to treat everyone equally. As for dividing the family, sorry I have never thought about it. Zhou Shuren is going to take the imperial examinations, and family harmony is very important. If the family is not divided, the family will be in her hands and not cause much trouble. If the family is divided and no one is in charge, who knows what kind of trouble will happen!

Zhulan really doesn't have much confidence in her two daughters-in-law!
