The only downside is that the clothes are really awful, patched upon patched.
Although in those days, not every family was very wealthy, and it was normal for children to wear patched clothes, Jiang Yi remembered that in this family, only her three daughters wore clothes with patches on top of patches.
It truly lives up to the saying, "New for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years."
Of course, her daughter didn't have the "new for three years" moment; their clothes were always "old for three years," and they were all hand-me-downs from their older brothers and sisters.
This family doesn't just have the three girls, Daya and her sister, but because they were stuck with such an unreliable biological mother, the three girls lived like little girls in the old era.
Thinking about how her predecessor treated her own daughter, Jiang Yi felt furious.
"Come inside with me!"
Looking at her third daughter, who was dressed in tattered clothes, Jiang Yi felt that she had to do it herself.
Buying new clothes is out of the question.
Jiang Yi knew this very well; no matter how much she made a fuss, Chen Guixiang would never give her the money. Therefore, there was only one way: to alter her clothes.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi does have some talent in this area.
Looking back, she used to play with dolls and make clothes for them. Although she wasn't a professional in the industry, she had many loyal customers and fans.
The clothes of this era are not very distinctive, while the predecessor had quite a few clothes. The main reason is that the predecessor was very good at putting on a show in front of Chen Guixiang, and thus gained some benefits.
Jiang Yi rummaged through the closet and found quite a few clothes.
After measuring her three daughters' bodies, Jiang Yi began the procedure.
Fortunately, there was still a sewing machine at home.
These were the three main betrothal gifts prepared by the Liu family when the original owner married into the family. The bicycle and watch were kept by the original owner's family, but the sewing machine was taken back by the original owner.
Because of these three major betrothal gifts, when the original owner first arrived, he was often targeted by Chen Guixiang and his three sisters-in-law.
Although it was an old-fashioned Rainbow brand sewing machine, Jiang Yi still operated it skillfully.
She was also skilled at using a sewing machine, and she was the one who made clothes and bed sheets for the family.
That's why Chen Guixiang kept her needles and thread here.
Otherwise, Jiang Yi would probably not even have enough thread to make clothes for her three daughters.
The sewing machine made a rhythmic sound, click-clack-clack...
Not long after, Chen Guixiang heard the noise and came over, banging on the door for a while.
"What are you doing? What are you doing!"
Enraged by Chen Guixiang's banging on the door, Jiang Yi stopped what she was doing, strode towards the door, and suddenly yanked it open.
"Fourth brother's wife, what are you doing?"
I think I heard you using a sewing machine!
"Let me tell you, all the wires in the house are useful!"
Chen Guixiang looked at Jiang Yi with a warning.
Jiang Yi pouted and said, "What's wrong with that? Can't I use a few wires? I get a share of the money this family earns, and Liu Laosi gets a share too!"
"Isn't it worth more than two wires?"
"What do you mean, the money you earned? Didn't you eat at home? Didn't you use anything from home? You eat my food, wear my clothes, live in my house, and the little money you earn from working is utterly useless!"
Chen Guixiang couldn't stand it when her family members tried to settle accounts with her, because once they did, everyone in the family owed her money.
