A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

"Sister Jiang Yu! This fish is so soft, tender and delicious!" Gu Wei took big bites of the fish, wishing she could eat it all.

"Eat slowly. There are many fish bones in this fish. If you get pricked, you will be in pain." Seeing that she enjoyed the fish so much, Shen Wu had to give her a few words of advice.

Gu Zhou pressed the rice porridge, no, it should be said that it had completely become muddled, and gently fed it to his younger brother.

Seeing his sister eating the fish in big mouthfuls, he felt worried: "Xiaowei, don't eat too fast, be careful."

Gu Wei raised her head, still eating. She spoke only after she swallowed, "Brother and Sister Jiang Yu, don't worry, I'm picking out the faults carefully, nothing will happen."

Shen Wu shook his head helplessly and drank up the rice porridge in the bowl.

.........

Selling buns like this every day, the days passed quickly. Today, Shen Wu and Gu Zhou finished selling all the buns and planned to go back quickly.

"The weather is getting colder day by day, and I think it's time to make clothes and quilts. Let's..." Shen Wu thought of what happened when he bought the cloth that day and was a little hesitant: "Is there any other place to buy cloth? I'll buy some and make quilts and clothes."

Gu Zhou walked side by side with her and glanced at the top of a nearby tree: "It's going to rain soon... Let's buy the cloth today. I think it will rain tomorrow."

"Ah?" Shen Wu raised his head and glanced at the sky, where the sun was high in the sky. The sky was crystal blue without a single cloud in sight. How could he tell that it was going to rain?

"If you want to buy cloth at a cheap price, you still have to go to that store. I have also asked the aunts in the village these days. There used to be a shop called the Huo family that sold cloth at a very low price, but unfortunately it closed a few days ago." Gu Zhou took her around a corner and returned to the alley entrance where the cloth shop was.

Although Shen Wu was a little embarrassed, he was willing to save every penny he could: "Okay... okay. Let me make it clear first, I might spend more, and I... I... can't get angry if I spend too much!"

Gu Zhou was confused: "If you hadn't made and sold the buns, I might still be worrying about how to feed my brothers and sisters. Since you...you woke up, our family has been much better off. This money is earned by you, so it doesn't matter how much you spend."

Shen Wu was not the kind of person who liked to monopolize the work, and he quickly corrected his thoughts: "This half of the money is yours. If you hadn't helped me make and sell buns, and brought me out with you, I would have been a blind man."

"There's not much I can do, just helping you is good enough."

Shen Wu had to change his mind again and went to see the cloth shop.

Thinking of the strange behavior of the people in the cloth shop last time, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she endured it in order to sell the cloth.

"Excuse me, do you have any extra cloth?" Gu Zhou shouted inside from the half-open door.

Soon, a woman in a long gown and a folded skirt came out. Her hair was tied up with a purple cloth, not a single strand of hair was exposed.

The woman seemed to have never seen the two people before and said with a smile: "You came at the right time. There are only a few horses left in the shop. Are you here to sell them at a low price too?"

Shen Wu nodded: "Yes."

Gu Zhou was a little puzzled. Is it so early this year? "Excuse me, madam, why did we process the cloth so early this year?"

The woman was the one who received Shen Wu and Gu Zhou when they came last time. However, because the weather was getting colder, she changed into thicker clothes than before.

Shen Wu recognized her face immediately.

The woman smiled and explained to him, "It's hot this year, so we have some extra cloth. But it's almost the end of autumn and some cloth has not been sold. If it were like this, it would be fine. What's more frustrating is that the cloth has been dyed with mixed colors. The originally plain cloth is now red and blue. We can't sell it at all. Isn't the price too low?"

Gu Zhou didn't understand this, but he could understand it after hearing her say that.

Shen Wu is different. In modern times, she often does plant dyeing. If the cloth is dyed badly, she can try to wash off the loose color, then expose it to the sun for more time to let the color fade, and then add a darker color to make it a new piece of cloth!

"Why don't you try washing the loose color and then drying it in the sun for a while, and then apply some darker colors." Although Shen Wu wanted to get a bargain, he felt anxious for his beautiful sister when he saw her selling things at a loss.

Hearing her say this, the woman's eyes lit up: "I also know how to dye cloth."

Shen Wu nodded: "I have dyed it a little bit."

Seeing that she was also involved, the woman couldn't help but say a few more words: "Alas, it would have been better if there were more. The shelf where we put the cloth suddenly tilted that day, and several pieces of cloth fell into the dye vat. By the time we got them out, it was too late. If there were more, it would have been fine, but a few pieces fell out. There was not a single drop of color left from that day's vat, and the new vat has already been dyed, so there is no way to dye it even if we want to."

"Do I have to spend the effort to adjust the color? Weaving a few pieces of cloth and making a tank of color will cost much more than selling it."

"So that's how it is. I was overthinking it." After hearing her say that, Shen Wu also understood why it was sold at a low price.

"May I ask how many pieces you have for sale? What materials are they made of? And how much are they approximately?" Regardless of the discomfort he felt that day, Shen Wu hurried over to ask anxiously.

The machine girl looked at the girl, who behaved completely differently from that day, and suppressed the weirdness in her heart. She thought for a moment and said, "One piece of ramie, two pieces of soft linen, and one piece of silk linen. Ramie is 200 wen, soft linen is more expensive but because it is all processed, it costs 250 wen per piece, and silk linen costs 500 wen."

Oh my god! It's so expensive!

Shen Wu suddenly decided not to buy it and wanted to leave with his people.

She was just about to signal Gu Zhou when she heard the woman say again: "How much cloth do you two young brothers want?"

"This..." Shen Wu muttered for a long time, and Gu Zhou could see that she thought it was too expensive.

“I wonder if you can lower it a little more?”

The lady raised her eyebrows secretly. How much lower? She thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask"

As soon as the cloth seller left, Shen Wu couldn't wait to speak: "It's so expensive... How about we just buy one? It's for making clothes anyway, so we don't need that much."

Gu Zhou was afraid that people might hear him, so he lowered his head and asked: "Didn't you say you wanted to make a quilt? One piece of cloth is not enough to make clothes, let alone a quilt and other things. You have to at least buy everything."

Gu Zhou was not afraid of spending money and was particularly persistent about the matter of surviving the winter. He finally had a chance to keep his younger sister and brother from freezing, and he had to seize it.

Gu Zhou glanced at her who was mumbling silently with her head down, and he was really grateful for her appearance, which allowed him to protect his younger sister and brother.

She is so kind, and it is really God who has allowed her to come to their home. Gu Zhou will always remember this kindness, and if he is asked to repay her in the future, he will do it even if he would rather die.

Shen Wu estimated what was needed, but in fact, not that much was needed, just about three horses.

If it was the cloth she saw that day, then she probably wouldn't have much.

The machine girl came late and said, "Can it be less? Do you have a price for the two of you?"

She asked the shopkeeper and he said it could be lower.

"I want them all! 300 wen!" When Shen Wu said this, both of them looked at her in shock.

The machine girl was completely shocked. Doesn't this kid know how much cloth costs outside? How could he call out such a price after hearing the price? No one would sell it even if it loses money.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she tried hard to suppress her discomfort. These two kids had come twice. Were they here to cause trouble?

What shocked Gu Zhou was that she asked for a random price, 300 Wen! It was a price that was almost killing people.

Seeing that the fairy sister selling cloth had a bad face, Shen Wu didn't dare to look at her and asked for another 100 coins: "4... 400 coins is okay?"

After hearing this, the lady felt a heart attack. 400 coins! They really dared to think so.

"This...this price is too low." Lady Ji almost wanted to curse.

"We came out to buy medicine for our mother. We don't have that much money on us. How much can you give?" Shen Wu bargained with her, and his tone and movements gradually changed into those of a child.

It seemed as if his tough attitude just now was put on to save face, and it immediately deflated when he heard about the money.

"You...how much did you bring?" Lady Ji seemed moved by what she said, and her face looked a little distressed.

"Only...only 500 coins..." Shen Wu whispered softly, not daring to speak too loudly, for fear that these words would make her uncomfortable.

"5...500!" the girl exclaimed.

She really didn't expect that she only had 500 yuan and still had to buy medicine for her mother.

The girl sighed: "Forget it, forget it. Considering your filial piety, 450... just take it all." She looked heartbroken and closed her eyes, not daring to look.

Oh shit! Yes!

Shen Wu quickly agreed: "Thank you, Fairy Sister! You are such a kind person!"

Gu Zhou was stunned. How could this happen?

He quickly took out the change in his pocket. The money he had collected from selling buns was all in his wallet, but because it couldn't hold all the money, he divided it into several wallets.

After counting out 450, Gu Zhou handed it to the machine girl who came back with the cloth.

The machine girl was really bleeding heavily. She could hardly hold back a smile, and her whiteness was particularly obvious: "Can you two lift this cloth?"

Shen Wu and Gu Zhou nodded together: "Okay!"

The girl put the cloth outside the door and said, "I have already received the money for the cloth. You can go now."

She turned around and seemed to say to herself: "I really bled a lot today."
