After the car passed the Qin family, Su Panpan was quite glad that the Qin family did not discover her and the children, otherwise there would have been another fight.

On the way, Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu talked about how their mother-in-law Zhao and she had divided the family property.

After hearing this, the two brothers felt sympathy in their hearts and told Su Panpan that if she needed any help in the future, she could come to them. She hurriedly thanked them.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at Baoxing Town.

The town entrance was bustling with people. The streets were lined with shops of all kinds: places where people drank, chatted, and listened to books; places selling colorful silks; medicine shops emitting the fragrant aroma of herbs; rice shops piled high with grain; and even shops selling beautifully packaged rouge...

The streets were bustling with noise, mixed with the cries of waiters and jugglers, and occasional applause and cheers from the crowd. In the distance, the teahouse was packed with guests.

The roadside stalls are filled with a wide variety of goods, including exquisite handicrafts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and various special snacks, which are filled with fragrance.

The steamed buns from the corner shop emanated a fragrant aroma. On the street, the cries of peddlers echoed one after another. The vendors selling candied haws carried straw targets, their bright red candied haws gleaming in the sunlight. Children, laughing and playing, crisscrossed the crowd.

The stone bridge in the center of the town spans the clear river, with small boats drifting leisurely beside and under the bridge, creating a prosperous urban scene.

"Brother Daniu, please drop us off at the tailor shop in front. I'll pay you when I get back."

Su Panpan jumped down first, then turned around and picked Yueyue up.

Zhang Daniu said, "It's okay, Panpan. It's not easy for you to take care of several children by yourself. You don't need to give it to me."

"I have to give it, otherwise I'll seem ignorant. Big Cow, how about you and Er Niu wait for me and the kids at the intersection? I'll give you the money for the round trip when the time comes."

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the street corner after we deliver the goods." Zhang Daniu didn't know what to say when he heard Su Panpan say this.

Zhang Erniu had already helped the children down one by one. The children also came over carrying cloth.

After saying hello, the two Zhang brothers went to deliver the goods.

Su Panpan took the cloth and brought the children to the tailor shop.

As I came in, I smelled a faint scent of fabric.

The walls around the tailor shop are hung with various fabrics, including gorgeous silks, comfortable cottons, and rough and cheaper linens.

On one side of the shop stood a large tailor's table, on which were scattered a few pairs of scissors, rulers, needles and threads, and some scraps of cloth. Next to it was a box filled with various buttons.

There were a few young ladies discussing styles nearby, and two apprentices were respectfully asking the tailor for advice.

Su Panpan shouted to the busy tailor, "Boss, please make some clothes for these children."

The tailor stopped what he was doing, looked up, glanced at the children, and said with a smile, "Yes, ma'am. The children are so handsome."

The tailor put down his needle and thread and came forward enthusiastically.

"Take a look at this fabric."

The tailor took the cloth, examined it carefully, nodded, and said, "This cloth is very good. Madam, don't worry. I will make clothes for the children that fit well and look good. Take a look at the styles in the store."

Su Panpan chose a ruqun style for Xiaoxiao and Yueyue. Xiaoxiao chose a light yellow one, Yueyue chose a light pink one. She also chose a ruqun style for herself in light purple, and a blue-grey robe style for Qin Mu and Qin Xiao.

This set of clothes is just for show. Considering that they still have to work, they also made two sets of ready-made clothes for each person to use.

Negotiated a price with the boss.

The fabric I brought cost fifteen cents to make each set of clothes, so for five sets it would cost seventy-five cents.

Each person had two sets of cotton clothes, each set costing 60 wen, so for five people that was 600 wen. All together it was 675 wen.

The tailor boss made a big deal and was smiling like a flower.

The tailor picked up a ruler and walked over to the children. "Come, stand still. I'll measure you."

The children stood straight, excited but a little nervous.

As the tailor measured, he kept muttering, "This little girl is growing fast now, so I need to leave more room."

Su Panpan watched from the side, her eyes full of anticipation and joy, thinking about how cute the children would look in their new clothes.

After measuring the clothes, the tailor gave them the cotton clothes to try on.

The third son, Qin Xiao, after trying on the clothes, kept shouting, "I have new clothes, and no one will laugh at me as a little beggar anymore!" He touched the buttons on his clothes, and played with his brother, and was so happy that he forgot himself.

The second daughter, Xiaoxiao, also came over with a gleam in her eyes: "Mom, my previous clothes were all torn and patched. I'm so happy to be rewarded with new clothes this time." After saying this, she kept touching the collar of her clothes, looking very happy.

After Qin Mu tried it on, he looked like a completely different person. His temperament and appearance had greatly improved. Qin Mu himself was stunned by what he saw in the mirror.

But when he learned that it would cost so much, he kept telling Su Panpan that just one set would be enough. He hadn't worn new clothes in four years, and his sleeves didn't fit him anymore. Now, having a new set of clothes was already a luxury.

The other children also nodded sensibly and agreed that they only needed one set of clothes.

Su Panpan not only refused, but also went to the shoe shop next door and bought two pairs of shoes for each person. Each pair of cloth shoes cost 20 wen, and he spent another 200 wen.

Yueyue, who was standing nearby and playing, secretly tugged at the corner of Qin Mu's clothes and whispered, "Has Mom gone crazy spending money?" After hearing this, Qin Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know how to respond to Yueyue.

Qin Xiao retorted seriously, "Mom is not crazy. We didn't buy anything at first because we had no money. Now that Mom has received a reward, she is spending money to buy clothes and shoes for us for the first time."

"Mom also said she would buy us something delicious!" Xiaoxiao suddenly poked her head out from the side.

Hearing Xiaoxiao say this, Yueyue immediately responded excitedly: "Wow, really? I'm so happy. I wonder what delicious food Mom will buy for us?" At the same time, she looked in the direction of Su Panpan with anticipation.

Su Panpan was paying the shopkeeper. She had paid the full amount of 600 coins for the finished cotton clothes. For the clothes with raw materials, she had to pay half of the labor fee as a deposit first, and come back in a few days to pay the remaining half. The shopkeeper gave Su Panpan a piece of paper with the deposit certificate and the boss's seal on it.

Su Panpan picked up her clothes and prepared to leave. Yueyue ran over and asked expectantly, "Mom, what else are we going to buy?"

Su Panpan lowered her head, touched Yueyue's head with a smile, and said, "Yueyue, what do you want to buy?"

Just as they were leaving the tailor shop, a runaway carriage suddenly rushed towards them.
