As she spoke, she also entered Shen Shuyu's room. Seeing the cloth in her sister-in-law's arms, she exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law, where did you get so much cloth?"

"Shu Yu bought it. She said she could sell it to us, no ticket required, and it would cost two cents more than the price at the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you want it?"

"Yes, I'll go out and wash my hands." Only a fool would want the cloth without a ticket. She saw that there was also Dacron cloth.

The sisters-in-law were choosing fabrics while thinking about how much fabric to buy. Every piece of fabric was good, and there was nothing to choose from. They just wanted to touch the fabrics more.

These fabrics were good, but Zhang Cuicui was reluctant to spend too much money at once, so she asked for two pieces of black cotton cloth. She estimated that these two pieces of cloth were enough to make two pieces of clothing and two pairs of pants.

Li Caixia asked for three pieces of Dacron fabric. She planned to make a skirt for Shen Qiu and a set of clothes for herself. As for her husband and son, they didn't need to wear such fine clothes. Their clothes could be worn for a few more years after mending them.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was only thinking about her husband and son, she began to persuade her, "Sister-in-law, you are not without money, you can buy yourself some clothes. We women should be nicer to ourselves.

This is so rare, Shu Yu brought the cloth back herself and didn’t need a ticket.”

Zhang Cuicui really likes Dacron fabric, but she is reluctant to spend money to buy it for herself.

"I have clothes to wear."

"You, you only know how to pick on yourself."

The two went back to the house, gave money to Shen Shuyu, and each took the selected cloth back to their own room.

After they left, Shen Shuyu closed the door and put the fabric into the cabinet.

As soon as Mrs. Shen came back, Shen Shuyu called her into the house and showed her the fabrics she had brought back.

Seeing so much fabric, Old Lady Shen's wrinkled face showed no joy at all. She asked Shen Shuyu with a stern face, "My dear, tell me the truth. Did you go to the black market?"

How could Shen Shuyu admit it? She started to talk nonsense, "No, the black market is so dangerous, how dare I go there. Besides, I don't even know where the door to the black market is.

I have a classmate whose uncle specializes in reselling fabrics, and I bought it from her."

Old Lady Shen looked at her eldest granddaughter for a while and found nothing wrong with her, so she believed her.

"Your classmate's uncle is really bold, he even dares to do speculation and profiteering.

You are such a fool, even if you want to buy it, there is no need to buy so much fabric."

"Isn't it so cheap to buy it? The fabric won't go bad if it's kept, and I don't have to buy fabric when I want to make new clothes."

"Whatever my eldest granddaughter says is right. Grandma will make you whatever you want to eat tonight." Old Mrs. Shen said a few words to her eldest granddaughter in a reproachful manner and went out to cook.

Just as Mrs. Shen left, Uncle Shen came in to find Shen Shuyu and said he wanted to buy a piece of Dacron fabric for Zhang Cuicui.

Shen Shuyu asked him to choose the color. Uncle Shen picked up a piece of orange cloth at random, put the money on the table and left.

Most of the money was in cents, and there was a faint smell of stinky salted fish. Shen Shuyu guessed that the money was probably her uncle's private money, and it was just taken out of his stinky socks!

As soon as Uncle Shen came back, Zhang Cuicui told him about buying cloth for him and his son.

He also said that his second brother's wife was willing to spend money and bought three pieces of Dacron fabric.

Uncle Shen hummed after hearing this and said that he was hungry and asked Zhang Cuicui to cook. He searched everywhere in the house and found a pile of smelly socks that could stand up. He took out the money inside and went to buy cloth from his niece.

When Zhang Cuicui returned to her room, she saw a piece of orange cloth on the kang. After asking, she found out that it was bought for her by her husband.

Smiling from ear to ear, he turned and went to the next room to share his good mood with Li Caixia.

"I told you I have clothes to wear, but the kid's father is really something. He went to Shu Yu to buy some cloth without saying anything.
