The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Yue Niang, not wanting to casually discuss other people's family affairs, could only helplessly change the subject.

"What does your sister-in-law plan to buy at the market?"

Aunt Xu knew that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, so she took the opportunity to talk about other things.

"I'm planning to buy some meat. This year's harvest was good, and we have some leftover grain. I'll take it to town to see if I can exchange it for some money."

Aunt Xu glanced at the basket next to Yue Niang and saw that it was filled with quite a lot of things.

"You're selling these, right? It's winter, so you're probably short on things, aren't you? Use the money to buy some things, keep some for yourself. Is there anything else you need? See if we have any extra, we can send some over."

Yue Niang quickly waved her hand. Although she was touched by Aunt Xu's actions, her family was not as poor as outsiders perceived.

"No, no, we have everything. It's just some food. We can't finish it all and we're afraid it will spoil, so we thought we'd take it to town to exchange for some money."

Aunt Xu nodded, then added with concern, "That's fine. I know you're shy, so if you need anything, just let me know. Don't be embarrassed."

When Su Jiye heard her say that her wife was thin-skinned, he couldn't help but cough. His wife was a shrewd businesswoman; how could she be thin-skinned?

Yue Niang smiled and nodded to Aunt Xu, then reached behind her and pinched Su Jiye's waist hard.

Su Yuanyuan was sitting in a spot where she could see her father's profile. She saw his face contorted in pain, his teeth bared, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling. She couldn't openly laugh at her father, so she just smiled secretly.

"Yuanyuan! Is this your first time going to the market?"

Just as she was laughing, she heard Aunt Xu ask her a question, and Su Yuanyuan quickly looked up.

"No, Auntie, this is the second time. Last time, my dad took me."

"You probably don't remember much. You'd better take your time to look around and buy something if you like it. Do you have any money? Do you want some from me?"

Aunt Xu chuckled as she reached for her money, but Yue Niang quickly stopped her.

“Sister-in-law, she has her own money. Besides, if anyone should give money, it should be us. How can we let you pay?”

Su Yuanyuan quickly nodded, "Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. I'm going to town to sell embroidery this time, and I can earn quite a bit."

Aunt Xu was delighted to hear this, and instead of paying, she took Su Yuanyuan's hand and praised her.

"Wow, Yuanyuan can earn money now! She's really doing well, just like her mother!"

Su Yuanyuan smiled obediently, listening to praise and occasionally chiming in with a few words of agreement, something she had been used to since childhood.

Moon Lady smiled, her eyes crinkling. She loved hearing people praise her daughter, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"Sister-in-law, please stop praising her. With her skills, she can only sell for a few coins. If you keep praising her, she'll be on top of the world."

What could Su Yuanyuan say? She could only smile and nod, "Yes, yes, yes, if you praise her any more, she'll be on top of the world."

Aunt Xu and her mother started chatting, while Su Yuanyuan sat quietly in the corner listening.

She didn't know if they were all avoiding her, but aside from eavesdropping, she rarely heard any gossip from them.

Whenever she saw a group of people gathered at the village entrance, she would walk past them without paying attention, but she never heard anything. Isn't it said that people gossip at the village entrance?

Their village wasn't far from the town; they arrived in town by oxcart at dawn.

The stalls had already been set up on the street, filled with the bustling sounds of vendors hawking their wares and customers haggling over prices. Su Yuanyuan followed her mother, while her father went to park the oxcart. Aunt Xu had already left, and she still needed to reserve a spot.

The things they bring can be sold directly to the store; they don't need to take up space.

The place where the oxcart was parked wasn't far away, and her father returned shortly afterward. They walked a short distance inside, and Su Yuanyuan saw an embroidery workshop.

"Father, Mother, you go sell your things first. I'll go to the embroidery room to sell my embroidery. I'll come find you in a bit."

Su Yuanyuan pointed to the embroidery room next to her so that her parents could see it clearly. Her mother looked at the embroidery room and then at the shops on both sides. Seeing that there was no danger, she nodded to her.

"Go ahead, your father and I are at Qianwei Restaurant up ahead. Remember not to wander off."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go now." Su Yuanyuan nodded; she wasn't a child anymore.

Watching her parents leave, Su Yuanyuan tightened her grip on the basket and gently stepped into the embroidery room of Jinxiuzhuang.

As soon as she entered, Su Yuanyuan was attracted by the luxurious fabrics that filled the room. Her eyes swept over them one by one, and she realized that she couldn't afford any of them.

"Miss, are you looking to buy ready-made clothes or fabric?"

Just as Su Yuanyuan was engrossed in watching, a lady with delicate features and a gentle demeanor walked up to her.

Su Yuanyuan snapped out of her daze, quickly bowed, and spoke somewhat shyly.

"I'm not here to buy anything. I have some embroidery pieces I'd like to sell. I wonder if you buy them?"

“Of course I’ll accept it. Come sit here, let me take a look at your embroidery first.”

The lady led Su Yuanyuan to sit down and waited for the maid to serve tea before speaking.

"My husband's surname is Luo, so you can just call me Madam Luo. May I ask how you should address me, Miss?"

“My surname is Su. My parents call me Yuanyuan. If Madam Luo doesn’t mind, you can also call me Yuanyuan.”

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Let me take a look at your embroidery first."

Mrs. Luo smiled gently and spoke in a soft, gentle tone, which Su Yuanyuan liked very much.

"Mrs. Luo, look, these are some handkerchiefs and purses that I usually embroider."

Madam Luo picked up Su Yuanyuan's embroidery and examined it carefully for a while. The stitches were even and dense, and the large peach blossoms embroidered on the purse were so bright and vivid that they seemed like a real peach blossom blooming on the purse.

She put down her purse and picked up a handkerchief. Embroidered on the snow-white satin were two lotus flowers, side by side, layered yet clearly distinct, showing that every petal had been carefully crafted.

Mrs. Luo looked at Su Yuanyuan with surprise and delight. She hadn't expected that Su Yuanyuan would be so skilled at embroidery at such a young age. She felt like she had struck gold.

“Your embroidery is excellent. I can take it all. I’ll give you twenty coins for each purse and fifteen coins for each handkerchief. What do you think?”

Su Yuanyuan pondered for a moment. She had embroidered twenty-six purses and twenty-two handkerchiefs. The fabrics were all obtained through a lottery, so there was no cost. By this calculation, she could earn eight hundred and fifty coins.

"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Luo."

Seeing that she agreed, Madam Luo nodded to the maid behind her, who then took the embroidery and went to the back.

"Please wait a moment. I'll have the maid go get the money. Is your embroidery only for one sale, or will it be sold again in the future?"

"We'll continue to sell them in the future."

"How about we sell them all to me at the same price? If there are any large items, we can set a price based on the situation."

Su Yuanyuan agreed without hesitation. She liked Madam Luo very much and didn't want to look for other embroidery shops.

After receiving the money and saying goodbye to Madam Luo, Su Yuanyuan strolled around the streets.
