Xu Siyu had mentioned her intention to go to the county town a long time ago, but Xu Wangshi was worried and had been waiting in the village until the New Year's Eve as Old Man Niu said, when all the wives in the village would rent a car to go to the county town and then let her go with the villagers.

The people in this car are all from relatively wealthy families in the village, and they have to go to the county town to purchase some different New Year goods.

Xu Wangshi called her seventh uncle's daughter-in-law, Li Liu'er, and said, "Her cousin, please take care of Siyu."

"Okay, I see. Don't worry, auntie." Li Liu'er had just married into the village and was not familiar with Xu Siyu, but like a warm sister who wanted to take care of her younger sister, she grabbed Xu Siyu's hand and agreed to Xu Wangshi.

The ox cart set off in the morning sun. The cold wind was a bit biting, but the young wives in the cart were in high spirits about going shopping and kept chattering in the cart.

Li Liuer silently reviewed the New Year's goods she wanted to buy, then smiled and asked the pretty woman sitting opposite the ox cart, "Changhe wife, where did you get this peach-colored fabric? I see you've worn it for a long time, and the color hasn't faded. Is the material expensive?"

Because of her new and gorgeous outfit, the young woman was very cautious even when riding in the ox cart. Seeing that someone finally noticed her, she raised her chin slightly and replied with a proud look, "Feng Ji. When I bought it, it was four cents a piece. I can't say whether the price has increased now."

"Four coins, isn't it just coarse cloth? Still, four coins are enough."

"Hey, Li Liu'er, even coarse cloth has good and bad qualities. The colors produced by the big dyeing workshops last longer, and they're not like those small workshops in town. Shouldn't this be more expensive than ordinary goods?"

"That's right." Li Liu'er didn't care about the young woman's ridicule and continued to invite her: "Then take us to Feng Ji today to have another look. Maybe the store will give us a discount for the sake of being a regular customer."

"Oh, sorry. I have to go to Yuehua Tower to queue up for White Jade Jelly today. They only sell a hundred boxes a day, and I promised my little treasure that I must bring a box home today. After buying that..." The Changhe wife rattled off a bunch of shops she was going to, saying that the things she wanted to buy were either limited edition at this store or signature brands at that store. Ultimately, she just didn't have time...

A direct rejection can be considered as being straightforward, but a rejection in the form of scolding will only make people feel embarrassed.

Li Liuer married into Xinshan Village half a year ago, and the new bride has hardly gone out yet.

My parents-in-law and sisters-in-law are all very kind. I never expected that there would be such an unkind person in the same village.

Those who were originally very happy to go into the city suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Xu Siyu pulled Li Liuer's sleeve: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

"Yeah." Stop trying to build relationships. Li Liuer feels that there is no need to rely on some people's kindness.

In fact, it is normal for women in a car to gossip, but they rarely slap someone in the face like this.

Today, Changhe's wife is on the bus. With her bad temper, she can only be considered the second among the young wives. If we talk about the first one, everyone's attention is on Xu Siyu, the "future daughter-in-law of the former village chief."

Many people knew that Changhe’s wife had no grudge against Li Liu’er and she shouldn’t be so rude to her.

Most likely, her anger was directed at Xu Siyu who was beside Li Liuer.

After all, Xu Siyu was the best-fed and most beautifully dressed woman in the village. She had often mocked them, the wives who had to work, saying they were unworthy of wearing faded rags and walking with her...

No one spoke up for Li Liuer because Xu Siyu was very close to Li Liuer. Would she help others to scold Changhe's wife first?

But why didn't Xu Siyu lose her temper? Was she so stunned by the fall that she forgot how to get angry?

I wouldn't say he's the quietest in the car, but why is he speaking so softly?

On the swaying ox cart, the people who were not waiting for the show began to feel sleepy. They leaned on each other and held on for almost two hours before finally arriving at the county town.

Although they didn't say anything in the car, several daughters-in-law wanted to go to Fengji to buy new cloth.

With so many people joining, Li Liuer no longer had to worry about losing out, and her mood improved.

The sisters came to Fengji Cloth Shop hand in hand.

"What? Four qian and a half a horse. Isn't that four qian? Boss, we want two horses."

Not only did I not get any advantage, it was even more expensive!

Li Liuer spoke so loudly that it showed her unwillingness.

When Xu Siyu saw the impatient expression of the cloth shop owner, she knew that the number of two horses was not attractive to him.

"Six months ago, pork was only 22 wen, but this month it's 26 wen. Our pork has a bright color and good quality, so the supply is already in short supply. Do you think we should raise the price?"

"Then can't you wait until we buy before the price goes up?" A young lady following Li Liu'er didn't really want to buy it at first, but now that her interest has been whetted enough, she really wants to buy it.

"Peach red is expensive, what about the green ones?"

"Green? The one you mean, at least five cents?" The shopkeeper felt that none of these young women knew what was good, and he didn't want to serve them.

Li Liu'er originally wanted to make a new set of clothes for herself and her husband, but the prices had risen so much that she could only buy enough cloth for her husband.

In the corner where they were bargaining, Xu Siyu carefully searched the prices of several pieces of cloth on Pinduoduo.

Thanks to the "automatic product identification function", a piece of cloth that costs four or five cents in a cloth shop only costs eighty cents on Pinduoduo.

Xu Siyu quickly walked to Li Liuer's side and dragged her aside. "Sister-in-law, I know the way to get this cloth. I can get it for 380 coins!"

"Really?"

"Well, you can't buy or sell here. You have to do it secretly..."

Li Liu'er was a straightforward person. She immediately pressed her finger against Xu Siyu's mouth and said, "I understand."

He pretended to gather everyone for a discussion and sold Xu Siyu out in front of everyone.

No, Xu Siyu just planned to keep a low profile about her own two horses and her sister-in-law's one horse, so how come it was made public?

"Liu'er." The older daughter-in-law thought for a moment, "Your cousin's words... can't be fully believed."

In fact, she wanted to say it was unreliable.

"Oh, then buy the one that believes it." Li Liu'er had heard a lot of rumors about Xu Siyu, but in their family, her father-in-law did not allow them to get involved in such conversations.

Some people are skeptical, but some don't want to give up this bargain.

"Siyu, can you really get the same material as Fengji's?"

"It looks the same to me." Although it was product identification, Xu Siyu really couldn't guarantee it.

She chose a thicker cotton fabric, which shouldn't be too bad.

“Can you sell it by the foot?”

"There's nothing I can do about it. People are selling it secretly. I thought my sister-in-law wanted it badly, so I thought of getting to know this guy."

"Who do you know?"

……

As the questioning became more and more in-depth, Li Liuer became unhappy.

"Alright, alright, if you don't like it, then don't buy it. They say it's sold secretly, but who can still tell you?"

That's well said.

I guess he must be a waiter in a cloth shop or something like that who has this ability.

After hesitating for a long time, everyone decided to give it a try. Two or three people got together, opened their purses, and handed the silver and money to Xu Siyu.
