Chapter 62 Private Room

After buying the ready-made clothes, they will go to the next store. The Zhou family has no shortage of winter clothes, but Zhulan wants to make a thick quilt for herself and Zhou Shuren respectively. The second son’s child is about to be born and will also need a new quilt. If one family makes for the other, they cannot favor one over the other. In addition, Rongchuan can be added. Okay, let’s make for all of them!

To the two people who are used to the warm winters of modern times, the winters in ancient times in their original memories were terrifying, especially the heavy snow in the north, when road closures were common. In the ancient winters, no one except the privileged class would enjoy the snowy scenery.

Nowadays, Zhulan finds autumn pants troublesome, but in ancient times, Zhulan’s mind was full of cotton coats, cotton pants and quilts!

In ancient times, the agricultural level was low, the output was not high, and the price of cotton was not cheap. Pork was eight cents per pound. Zhulan bought twenty pounds in one go and also bought some coarse cotton cloth. Zhulan was not a person who would mistreat herself, and she had confidence in Zhou Shuren. She had been calculating money every day for the past few days, but now she had a bottom line in her heart and could not stop shopping.

Boss Zhou's face turned pale with heartache, his fingers were trembling, "Dad, Mom doesn't want to live anymore?"

I never expected that the old lady who had been embezzling for nearly half of her life would start squandering money as soon as she recovered from her illness.

Zhou Shuren felt that he had to tell the boss the truth, otherwise the boss would reveal his problem. "Boss, calculate the cost of buying the cow, the medical treatment and medicine, and add the money spent today, how much did you spend in total?"

Boss Zhou's pupils shrank, and he noticed the point. Thirty taels, he realized, "Dad, is our family so rich?"

Zhou Shuren, "It's not that I'm rich, but some of my assets are real. Boss, you're the eldest son, so I'm only telling you. You're not allowed to tell your wife either."

Boss Zhou was no longer nervous, but rather looking forward to it, and assured, "Dad, I know what I'm doing."

Zhou Shuren, "Then I'm relieved. Listen carefully, our family has more than 80 taels of silver. Dad is not very capable. Most of it comes from your mother's dowry and your grandmother's allowance. Just keep it in mind."

Boss Zhou, "......."

So his calculation was correct. He calculated how much Daddy earned, and the rest was Mom's money. So how is Daddy spending Mom's money now?

So you are this kind of father!

Zhou Shuren's hands were itching. Zhulan said that Li had a brain disease, and he thought it was passed on to Li by the eldest brother!

Zhulan didn't care what the father and son talked about. She went to buy things according to her plan. She bought two clay jars, three large pots, five clay basins for serving dishes, three washbasins, and a large bathtub. Zhulan had been thinking about the bathtub for a long time, and she was tired of wiping it.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law is a very considerate person and the washbasin and foot basin in the house are separated, otherwise Zhulan really couldn't stand it.

The ox cart is almost full, and those who don’t know would think it’s for preparing dowry!

Zhulan went to buy various seasonings, especially salt, and bought a lot of it. All the salt in the house was used by Li to pickle vegetables.

Finally, I went to buy paper for my two sons who were studying. I couldn't afford the good ones, so I could only buy common ones, two cents a sheet, and two hundred cents for one hundred sheets. Paper like Xuan paper, bamboo and orchid, was too expensive, so I couldn't even think about buying two new pens, which left me with two hundred and twenty cents.

After a cart full of things, Zhulan only had 30 coins left of the money she brought with her. She passed by a meat stall and bought some pork belly and a big bone, leaving her with no money left.

Even though Boss Zhou's father had revealed his true colors, he was still trembling in his heart. He felt that his mother had become more open-minded after her health improved, and was not only willing to eat but also willing to spend money. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, because his mother had saved the money for him and his brothers before, but now she was spending it so hard. Was it because she felt that they were unfilial when his mother was not in good health and was hurt?

As soon as Zhou Laoda thought about it, he began to reflect on himself in the past year. His face became worse and worse. People are most afraid of preconceived ideas. Zhou Laoda thought that he had not done well. When he recalled it, everything was wrong. He felt very guilty. "Mom, I am unfilial. I have not been a good eldest son. Mom, what else do you want to buy? I have 30 cents of private money on me!"

Zhulan, "......."

Oh, private money, Boss Zhou is amazing, Li's subordinates can save thirty cents in private money, you can't judge a person by his appearance. However, what did Boss Zhou think of?
