I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Fang Xiaoxiao pulled Li Renyi into the ready-made clothing store.

This store isn't very big, and it doesn't have many ready-made clothes. There are only three or four sets of men's clothing, but there are more women's clothes, about twice as many as men's.

But in total, there are only about ten sets of ready-made clothes.

When the shop owner saw that they were a young couple, he greeted them with a big smile.

"Welcome, esteemed guests. Please feel free to browse. Our store is one of the top clothing stores in Changle County, offering a wide variety of styles."

"..."

Fang Xiaoxiao wanted to complain after hearing this. "Just these few styles? They still have the nerve to claim they have so many styles?"

It has to be said that ancient clothing lacks originality, with few colors and is particularly monotonous and boring, but fortunately she doesn't particularly dislike it.

Li Renyi didn't even bother to look up. As the heir of a marquis's mansion, he had seen all sorts of fine clothes and fine garments. These ugly people in front of him were completely beneath his notice.

The shop owner was a middle-aged, overweight man whose appearance immediately gave the impression of being extremely cunning and shrewd.

As the owner of the largest ready-made clothing store in the county, he had seen all kinds of customers. Facing the two people in front of him, he knew that they must be scared by the prices in the store, which was why they did not respond to him for a long time.

He had no choice but to cough twice to attract their attention.

"If you two are interested in buying ready-made clothes, please take a look at our prices first, so as not to offend your tastes..."

Saying it was a matter of temperament was just the fat shop owner's euphemism; what he really meant was that the two poor folks should not be looking around aimlessly in the shop.

However, when it comes to doing business, one cannot be so honest.

Fang Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that the fat boss's words had a hidden meaning, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Instead, a woman walked towards them, accompanied by teasing remarks.

"No wonder there was a pungent, sour smell as soon as I walked in. It turns out it's you, Fang Xiaoxiao, here!"

The person who came was none other than Yu Donglei, who had always had a grudge against Fang Xiaoxiao.

Today she was dressed in a pale yellow gown, paired with a dazzling gold hairpin on her head, looking truly prosperous.

It's important to know that this kind of outfit is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even those with some savings might not be willing to spend the money to buy it.

The price of a gold hairpin starts at a minimum of ten taels of silver, while a fine dress can cost as much as fifteen taels.

Fang Xiaoxiao turned around and looked back. To be honest, she was a little envious, but that was all.

However, she did not refute it. On the contrary, Li Renyi, who was the face of the group, naturally couldn't stand this woman.

He hates people who look down on others and speak rudely, even if the other person is a woman, it doesn't stop him from disliking them.

Li Renyi glanced at his clothes first, and then spoke.

"My dear wife, you're acting strangely today. I'm having auditory hallucinations. It sounds like I can hear roosters crowing and dogs barking. It's so noisy!"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Yu Donglei knew that the person was referring to her dog barking. She glared at them angrily and pointed at the person speaking in front of her.

But Li Renyi continued talking to his wife as if he hadn't seen it.

"Oh dear, my wife, next time your husband will definitely buy you the real gold hairpin. Don't be greedy for a little bit of cheapness and buy a fake thing and then flaunt it in the market!"

He pointed specifically to the wooden hairpin on Fang Xiaoxiao's hair bun.

To be fair, the wooden hairpin was at least genuine, unlike the one the person behind him was carrying.

As a young master from a prominent family, he was naturally accustomed to seeing gold and silver jewelry and could easily tell the difference between a real and fake gold hairpin.

Although the hairpin that Yu Donglei was wearing looked dazzling and precious, a closer look would reveal some problems.

Gold hairpins, forged from gold and inlaid with rubies and emeralds, should, if genuine, have a bright color and, under light, display a dazzling brilliance.

However, the gold hairpin that Yu Donglei was wearing looked completely dull and dark under the light, suggesting that it was a fake.

But that's not important. What's important is that he wants to vent his anger for his wife in front of everyone.

The woman's words were truly infuriating.

Yu Donglei was furious. How could Fang Xiaoxiao have found another sharp-tongued person?

And then there's Pei Yan, who hasn't been seen lately. Every time she goes to the courtyard, she can't find him.

Today, I originally came to the clothing store to have a better outfit custom-made before going to see Pei Yan, but I never expected to run into Fang Xiaoxiao here.

She's like a persistent leech, you can find her anywhere.

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneeze, wondering who was muttering curses at her.

She glanced back down at Yu Donglei, who was walking towards her, and knew without a doubt that it was this woman.

Last time, at the pastry shop, this woman said something disgusting to her, and now she's doing it again. It's really annoying.

Knowing she couldn't win an argument with the man, Yu Donglei pretended not to see the two people passing by and walked towards the shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper was also a perceptive person. He knew that the three of them might have some kind of grudge, so he didn't say anything.

However, Yu Donglei was an important client of his, so of course he had to treat her well.

As for the two men, one carrying a bamboo basket and the other dressed like a beggar, they were left to stay where they were and do whatever they wanted.

Yu Donglei spoke up.

"Shopkeeper, I've come here today to order a custom-made elegant outfit. My requirements are that it be light and beautiful!"

The chubby shopkeeper nodded.

"Miss Yu, there's no need to worry. This is the largest clothing store in Changle County. Just tell us your request, and we will definitely meet it!"

"That's good. I still trust you, shopkeeper. But don't you think the air in the shop smells pretty bad today?"

It doesn't smell bad at all; he just put fresh bouquets in the shop.

The portly shopkeeper took a deep breath, and a delicate fragrance instantly filled his nostrils.

Seeing that he was actually sniffing it hard, Yu Donglei thought to herself that he was an idiot, and then smiled awkwardly.

"Shopkeeper, you are quite the humorist. I wasn't referring to the taste of your shop itself, but don't you think it's a bit unpleasant to have two poorly dressed people in the shop, one carrying a bamboo basket and the other dressed like a beggar?"

Oh... Fat Old Fool finally realized what was happening and immediately turned around.

"If you two are not going to buy anything, please leave. This shop is for clothes. Even if we sell fabric, it's only the more expensive kind. I'm afraid you should look elsewhere. Don't humiliate yourselves!"

His words were very authoritative, basically meaning that you two poor bastards should get out of here and stop embarrassing yourselves.

Fang Xiaoxiao was about to speak when Li Renyi spoke first.

Li Renyi smoothed his messy, long hair and began to speak.

"Shopkeeper, do you know the saying, 'A dog's eyes judge people'..."

The rest is self-explanatory; most people would understand it, unless they are not human.

For example, Yu Donglei couldn't help but ask when she saw the other person's fair and radiant face.

"What are you looking at people like that with your dog eyes!"

"..."

Fang Xiaoxiao suspected that she might be illiterate.
