She had been a little envious when she saw the bundle of cloth, and thought it would be nice if the boy could give her a piece or two. She wasn't thinking about making anything for herself, but the shoes on her father's feet were so worn out that she wanted to make a new pair of shoes for him.

But she had originally planned to buy cloth to make shoes for her father. Now that she had such good cloth, she was naturally happy.

"Thank you, Auntie San!" Li Mingyu said happily.

"You kid, how many times have I told you not to be so polite? Why do you always say such polite words? If you do this again, Auntie San will be angry."

Li Mingxia and the others had a pleasant conversation here. After leaving the clothing shop, they went to buy some miscellaneous items and bought a piece of jewelry for each of them.

Zhang was different. Li Mingxia directly gave her a set of gold headgear.

"Mom, you are so old now, this is what you deserve. There is no need to rush for the dowries of my two younger sisters. They are still young. Starting next year, I will buy them three pieces of gold jewelry a year. When they get married, I will also give them gold headwear. Is that okay?" Li Mingxia knew that Zhang's mind was all on them. She didn't care at all whether she had gold jewelry or gold headwear. She was satisfied as long as her daughters and sons could live a better life.

"Mom is so old now, what does it matter what I wear or not? You don't have to tell me first. When your two sisters get married in the future, they will have enough dowry and no one will dare to look down on them. I can't let you suffer the same hardships that mom has suffered."

Although Li Mingxia fully agreed to prepare some dowries for her younger sisters, the suffering Zhang had to endure had nothing to do with the dowry. No matter how much dowry Zhang had, it would not satisfy Old Madam Zheng. Not to mention Zhang, even if Hua Rongrong really married into the Li family after a long time, Old Madam Zheng would be able to find all kinds of faults with her.

To be honest, even if you cut off the meat and gave it to her to eat, Mrs. Zheng would still think that your meat is not tasty enough after eating it.

"A person like my grandma won't look down on you no matter what you give her, even if you have mountains of gold and silver as a dowry." Li Mingxia spread his hands and said to Zhang.

"That's true, but I don't want the golden head mask. You can buy two that you like and I'll be happy." Zhang said to Li Mingxia.

Of course Li Mingxia would not give Zhang a chance to refuse. He pulled Zhang to pick out a set of small red gold phoenix headwear with tiny tassels on the hairpin. Zhang felt sorry for the money but couldn't let it go. Li Mingxia decisively paid the money and put the gold hairpin on Zhang's head on the spot.

"Oh, let's talk about it when we get home, kid." Zhang naturally liked the hairpin, but there were too many people here, so she felt a little shy and reached out her hand to pull the hairpin off.

"Mom, didn't you buy something just because you liked it?" Li Mingxia stretched out her hand to stop Zhang from pulling out the hairpin.

"If you like it, just wear it. Mom, you look so beautiful in this hairpin. It goes perfectly with the red dress you just bought!" Li Mingxia hugged Zhang's arm and acted coquettishly.

"If you don't believe me, just ask Zhengde or your old son and you'll know."

When Li Zhengde saw Zhang and Li Mingxia's eyes shifted to him, he immediately nodded, "It looks good, it looks good."

Girls and sons all said so, and indeed some people in the store bought jewelry and put it on their heads happily. In addition, Zhang herself liked the hairpin very much, so she no longer talked about taking it off. From time to time, she reached out her hand to touch the hanging tassels, smiling with satisfaction.

It was not until the afternoon that they had bought everything and returned to Qianniu Village.

Li Mingxia and her friends had just left the town when Li Mingxi and Hua Shi entered the shop where Li Mingxia and her friends had bought jewelry.

"Mom, I have a few pieces of jewelry. Why don't you buy them? Let's wait two years." Li Mingxi said to Hua.

Of course, she liked beautiful golden jewelry, but she also knew that she and Hua Shi could not earn a lot of money, and the little money they had now was spent as little as possible, so she was reluctant to spend it.

Hua touched Li Mingxi's head and took out some old-looking jewelry from his arms, some gold and some silver.

When you go to an jewellery exchange shop, you are allowed to exchange your own gold and silver jewellery for some jewellery of similar weight, but you have to pay a certain amount of money. The amount of money you have to pay depends on the weight and exquisiteness of the jewellery.

"Pick a few pieces you like and exchange them for these jewels. Even if you need to add money, it won't be too much. You are a grown-up girl now, and you need to have a few pieces of jewels to keep in your wardrobe. Whether it's a dowry or a matchmaker's proposal, we have to look serious and not let people look down on us. I don't want you to be bullied because of these things after you get married."

Hua and Zhang had the same idea in one respect. They both felt that as long as they prepared enough for their daughters, they would be less bullied when they went to their husband's house. On the contrary, if they did not give enough, they would definitely be looked down upon.

Li Mingxi looked at the pieces of jewelry in Hua's hand and did not say no this time.

After returning home in the evening, Li Mingxi thought about the new pieces of jewelry she had acquired today, and also remembered the new clothes her mother had just bought for her. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

Hua also felt her daughter's happiness and was happy too.

"Tomorrow I will comb your hair, and then you will put on new clothes. I will take you around the village, and we will also pay New Year's greetings." Hua said to Li Mingxi.

Over the years, no matter how little Hua Shi interacted with the people in the village, there were still a few people she could talk to. Now that she has been out, she naturally wants to move around more often. If anything really happens in the future, she will have someone to take care of her, right?

Li Mingxi nodded, "Mom, I know."

When Hua Shi was walking to the door of her house holding Li Mingxi's hand, she suddenly stopped and looked at Li Mingyu's house. She could vaguely see that the lights were on inside.

"Let's go to your second uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, okay?" Hua had this idea in mind and naturally asked Li Mingxi.

Neither of them hated Li Erlang, but because of Li Dalang's incident, their relationship became very awkward. Hua was not sure whether her daughter was willing to hang out with Li Erlang and Li Mingyu.

In addition, Li Mingyu and Li Mingxia are now very close, so Hua is even more worried that Li Mingxi will resist this matter.

"I'll listen to my mother." Li Mingxi held Hua's hand tightly and said in a low voice.
