After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

I'll subtly remind my daughter-in-law another day not to spend money so extravagantly.

Just as she made up her mind, Jiang Zhiyun also bought four or five baby ducks.

He said, "Mother-in-law, we can raise these ducklings in our yard and eat them when they grow up."

"What do you think, is it alright?"

Looking at her daughter-in-law's hesitant gaze, she clearly adored the little duck.

Unable to utter a single discouraging word, she could only weakly reply, "Alright, Yunniang, you make the decision."

Then Zhang Meiqing began to comfort herself, thinking that Yunniang was doing all this for the family, and as long as her heart was with the family, it was all good.

No money...no money. She'll just have to work day and night taking on embroidery jobs.

Then Jiang Zhiyun went to the rice shop and bought half a bag of rice. Feeling that it wasn't enough, she bought half a bag of flour.

There were so many things that neither of them could carry them all. Jiang Zhiyun suddenly realized and said, "Did we buy too much stuff today?"

Jiang Zhiyun frowned, as if she was reflecting on something.

Zhang Meiqing was afraid that the girl would feel uncomfortable after marrying into the family, so she immediately said, "It's not much, these are just things the family needs. Yunniang, buy whatever you want. When I was young, I would always bring back several carriageloads of things when I went to Bianjing City."

"Back then, Shuheng's father doted on me and would always bring me my favorite pastries..."

At this point, Zhang Meiqing paused, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, her husband had been gone for a long time. She could hardly remember his face. After being exiled, they lived like walking corpses, barely clinging to life.

Jiang Zhiyun patted her back and said, "Mother-in-law, don't be sad. Shuheng and I will buy you delicious food in the future."

"How could Shuheng have such thoughts?" She had long known her son's temperament; he was always cold and indifferent to everyone.

“Then I can.” Jiang Zhiyun wiped away her tears, and then led her mother-in-law toward the clothing store.

"Just now I noticed that our clothes were all tattered and torn. Now that it's the change of seasons, let's buy some fabric to take home."

"If everyone wears proper clothes, they are less likely to get sick."

"If you can't afford to buy clothes now, you'll have to use the money you earn to treat your illness later. When you add it all up, it's about the same."

Zhang's previously touched expression suddenly turned melancholy: "That makes sense, but the clothes alone would probably cost around three hundred coins for a family of four."

So, by this calculation, we've spent six or seven hundred coins today, which is equivalent to half of our family's savings.

Yunniang's words made sense, but her heart was bleeding; she just couldn't bear to spend the money. Then, as she followed Yunniang to choose materials, she felt somewhat flustered.

In the end, two batches of blue were chosen to make clothes for Shuheng and Yangge'er. As for the mother and daughter, a blue one was chosen, which would be convenient for going into the mountains and doing chores.

Zhang knows how to sew; you can buy the needles and thread and make your own.

Feeling bad about the high price of the fabric, she wanted to make it as soon as possible so she could wear it sooner.

After buying most of the items, I went to the clinic to get the medicine and finished up the business.

There's too much stuff; it's not realistic to carry it all back over mountains and valleys.

Jiang Zhiyun found the old man she knew, gave him the money, and said, "Mother-in-law, we can't carry things back on our backs. Let's take the oxcart instead. It'll be easier to put our things in there."

“Okay…” She sat down cautiously.

Now, when Jiang Zhiyun closes her eyes, all she can think about is what she saw at the market, where the vendors mostly sell vegetables, meat, rice, and noodles.

Everything was raw food; as for cooked food, it was only available at steamed bun shops.
