"Where's the coarse cloth?"
"Coarse cloth, fifty cents a foot."
"Pull me three feet of fine cotton and two feet of coarse cloth."
Gu Tingting touched the only five dollars left in her pocket, gritted her teeth and tore off three feet of fine cotton cloth.
She was an adult and could tolerate the rough texture of the coarse cloth.
But children have delicate skin, and wearing coarse clothes all day long will cause rashes.

It was almost nightfall when an aunt passing by heard Gu Tingting's cry for help.
