"What did Grandma He say to you just now? Why did you smile so happily?"
On the way back, Hua Yu's originally gloomy mood obviously felt much better.
Hua Shi fell two steps behind him and asked.
The cheerful young man rarely turned his face away, but said happily, "I spent a hundred coins to buy two quilts from Grandma He, and Grandma He was willing to give me some more cotton."
This also means that their winter will not be as difficult as in previous years, at least they will not freeze to death...
As long as you prepare enough charcoal before the winter snow comes, you can get through it safely.
After solving the problem at hand, Hua Yu's mood was visibly improved.
Hua Shi paused.
One hundred coins to buy two quilts is a great value. Normally, according to the normal price, even the most coarse quilt would cost three hundred coins each.
Two pieces for a hundred coins are definitely worth it...
"Are there so many empty quilts in Grandma He's house?" Hua Shi turned his head and asked in confusion.
Ordinary farmers rarely have so many extra quilts. They are only used during the winter months. During the long summer, if there is a famine and people have no food to eat, they will exchange quilts for food.
When winter is approaching, they will use the cotton grown in previous seasons or the cotton accumulated from other places to make their own quilts.
This way, you don't have to spend money to buy more, and you can sell the quilt in exchange for food when you need it...
She heard most of these from Hua Xiao, because that was how the Hua family was. The quilts in her room, as well as the quilts in the rooms of Hua Yu and the others, were all sold by Li in exchange for rice.
She searched the room where she slept thoroughly, but she really didn't see any thick quilts, and there were only two pieces of thick clothes.
If she wanted to survive the winter, these two pieces of clothing wouldn't be enough to support her through the ice and snow...
So, she needed money to buy a quilt, and then she would look for coal to exchange for some. As for clothes... she definitely couldn't afford them, so she could only buy some cloth and cotton and make them herself, which would be the most economical...
Hua Yu glanced at her. Perhaps he was in a good mood, and when he saw her asking questions, he did not show any impatience.
He suddenly said, "You don't really believe what she said?"
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, "What?"
She was a little slow to react. Hua Yu's words were too abrupt and illogical...
What do you mean by really believing her words? Is there anything unbelievable...
Hua Yu chuckled softly, "Oh, really, forget it. Grandma He doesn't have any sons at all. She's the only one in her family. Didn't you see the spirit tablet in front of the hall? What she said about her son doing business in town is all a lie. No one in Shoushan Village can leave and set up a household on their own."
This was the first time Hua Yu spoke such a long speech, and his expression at this moment looked very patient.
Hua Shi was stunned.
She really didn't think about it that way.
On the table in front of the main hall, there were indeed three spirit tablets: her husband, her daughter, and her son... The three tablets stood neatly on top. She didn't think much of it at the time...
But then I remembered what Grandma He had said. She had called her son Xinzi, and the tablet on the spirit tablet read... He Xin, and that was indeed the one who had died...
