Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character
Chapter 532: Countryside Woman 6
Su Tong hadn't had breakfast this morning. Mrs. Zhao was a very stingy person. Because they had to go to the market early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao didn't even make breakfast. Now he was starving, so he could only find a wonton stall and eat a big bowl of wontons. Only then did he feel better.
After eating, Su Tong went to the pastry shop again and bought a lot of pastries, most of which were high in calories, and then put them in his own space to eat slowly.
Not only that, he also ran to the steamed bun shop and bought almost all the buns there. He put them in the backpack and put them directly into the space when no one was paying attention.
After finishing all this, Su Tong leisurely went to the silk shop and took out several handkerchiefs and a small square screen embroidery that he had made. The boss' eyes widened and he immediately offered a sky-high price of thirty taels.
"The embroidery on this screen is very beautiful, but the fabric is very simple and it is relatively small, so I can only offer this price. If it can be made bigger next time and the fabric is better, the price can be higher."
In fact, the handkerchiefs I made were also very exquisitely crafted, and one of them was even double-sided embroidered. But because the pieces were too small, I couldn’t sell them at too high a price.
But these thirty taels of silver were indeed sold at a high price. At least the Zhao family could not save up thirty taels even after working hard all year and deducting the cost of food and drink.
These 30 taels of silver can buy three acres of good farmland. You should know that the best paddy fields here are only ten taels of silver per acre. However, these handkerchiefs were made with a lot of effort. Some of the fabrics and needles and threads came from his own space.
Su Tong bought some soft cloth, mostly white cotton, and then bought 50 kilograms of cotton. He even bought three beds of thick cotton as winter was getting colder.
Su Tong did not force himself to pick out a few pieces of cloth, mostly gray ones, with one piece of sky blue and one piece of green cloth, plus some needles and thread. In the end, he asked the boss to give him a small discount, so the total cost was seven taels of silver.
After buying so many things, the shopkeeper was grinning from ear to ear and asked the waiter to help deliver the things.
Su Tong had no choice but to say the name of an alley, and asked the waiter to take it. Then he let the waiter leave and said that someone would pick it up later. When no one was paying attention, he put the thing back into the space.
After doing all this, Su Tong went to the grain store again and bought salt and various kinds of grain. In fact, he already had all these things in his space, but they did not belong to this era. He was afraid that one day he would take out something that did not belong to this era and be discovered by others. Then he would be burned to death as a monster.
After buying the food, the book boy went to the herbal medicine store to buy some medicinal herbs. He earned a total of 30 taels of silver today, but ended up spending 15 taels on buying these things. Alas, this money was really wasted.
On the way back, Su Tong was very generous and bought five sesame cakes. He picked up one of them and ate it while walking. By the time he arrived at the place, only three sesame cakes were left.
"Mother-in-law, I just thought that you and sister-in-law didn't have breakfast, so I brought you some sesame cakes." Su Tong handed a sesame cake to each of them with a smile.
When Mrs. Zhao saw the sesame cakes, her first reaction was that her daughter-in-law might as well give her the money to buy the cakes instead of wasting it. But when she remembered that she didn't buy the cakes with her own money and they were all free, her expression improved a little. She held the sesame cakes indignantly and didn't intend to share any with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhao was only willing to give the cake to her son and daughter, and she shared half of a cake between them. She kept the remaining two cakes for herself, intending to bring them back to the old man.
Su Tong touched her belly which had not yet bulged. "Mother-in-law, I went to see the doctor today. He said that my baby had a miscarriage and asked me to stay at home and take good care of it during this period of time. Otherwise, it would be easy to bleed heavily during childbirth. If I hurt my body in the future, I won't be able to have children again."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hands impatiently, "I think you have the body of a young lady and the fate of a maid. Okay, take a rest. Fortunately, it is the slack season for farming."
Su Tong made a second request, "There is another thing. The doctor said that I have not been feeling well recently and need to eat something good to replenish my body. I know it is not easy for my family and I am reluctant to let them spend the money.
So I planned to install a small stove in my room and use it to cook some food so that the baby in my belly can get more nutrition, so that it can be plump and white after it is born. "
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she became reluctant. Although she didn't have to pay for food or other things herself, in her opinion, her daughter-in-law was a member of their family once she married into their family, and her things also belonged to them. If her daughter-in-law didn't eat these things, then her money would be theirs.
"Come on, your two sisters-in-law didn't have as many things to do as you when they were pregnant and giving birth. If you are really not feeling well, just go and do more work in the fields. Maybe one day you will get better..." Mrs. Zhao naturally didn't want Su Tong to go shopping.
Su Tong stared at his head, "Oh, if I don't replenish my body now, I won't have the strength to give birth to a child in the future. After the baby is born, not only will the baby be weak, but I will also be weak. Then I will have to spend a lot of money to buy medicine.
Mother-in-law, please install this small stove in my room, and I will bring you a bowl of delicious food later."
Mrs. Zhao was not happy at first, but when she heard that she could eat delicious food, she agreed immediately, "Forget it, I am a kind-hearted mother-in-law. Then you can make a small stove yourself, but you have to cut the wood yourself. You have to cook for yourself on weekdays, don't bother your sisters-in-law."
The elder sister-in-law next to her was so jealous that her eyes turned red. This sister-in-law was so lucky. Not only could she stay in bed and rest, she could even buy food for herself. Why didn’t she have this blessing when she was pregnant?
"I see that my sister-in-law's belly is pointed. I hope it will be a girl when she gives birth." The eldest sister-in-law could no longer suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Su Tong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a girl. As the saying goes, flowers bloom before fruits. As long as I take good care of myself, I can always give birth to a son."
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, and didn't care about the quarrel between the two sisters-in-law in front of her. After buying the things, she took them back.
There was definitely no small stove in Su Tong's room, so he had to ask someone to buy one, and then he bought a small clay pot. On weekdays, he would burn some firewood and cook some porridge.
Mrs. Zhao also conducted surprise inspections several times and found that her daughter-in-law mostly drank soups and sometimes even bought some bones without any meat from the butcher to make soup. No one knew what her daughter-in-law was thinking. Even dogs would not eat such bones because there was no meat on them.
Su Tong just smiled. This big bone is very cheap. You can buy two for one penny. Ask the butcher to chop it into pieces, and then cook it over low heat. Add some white radish and pepper, and simmer it over low heat. Of course, the final step is to add some oden seasoning soup packets.
