Chapter 170 Buying Cotton

"Mother Hu, don't be angry anymore. Mother has already made it clear that my elder sister is not allowed to come to our house anymore. Don't worry, I won't let her come back.

Zhang Daqiang smiled and could only say good things. Who let his family do such a stupid thing? Fortunately, Hu was rescued. Otherwise, he would have lost everything and his wife and children.

Bai Yunxi found where Li was sitting and couldn't help shaking her head. This child was really well-behaved. When she left, this person sat on that step. When she came back, he was still sitting on that step. Even his posture didn't change.

"Mother, you are back?" Li stood up and carried the basket on his back. "Let's go buy cotton."

"Let's go, we can go home after buying cotton. Bai Yunxi took Li to the cloth shop and found out that cotton was thirty cents a catty. Considering the output during this period, the price was acceptable.

Bai Yunxi bought ten catties and spent three hundred cents. Looking at the scraps of cloth piled in the corner by the shopkeeper, it would be a good idea to sew a doll toy for Yaya.

"Shopkeeper, I've bought so many things. Can you give me some of the rags in your corner?"

The shopkeeper looked at Bai Yunxi, then at the rags piled in the corner, walked over and grabbed a handful and handed them over.

"Here, the rags have been ordered, so I can't give you too much."

"Thank you, I'll just sew a doll for my granddaughter, these are enough."

Bai Yunxi took it and put it in the basket. She carried the basket, and Li carried the cotton. The two walked home together.

"Mom, I'll carry the basket. The cotton is very light and not tiring at all."

Bai Yunxi looked at the big bag on her back and couldn't see anyone. She couldn't help but chuckled,

"No matter how light it is, it's ten pounds. Let's go first and see if we can meet an ox cart."

The two were lucky. As soon as they left the town, they met an ox cart returning from the county. They paid two cents each and got to the village entrance, saving a lot of trouble.

"Mom, you are finally back."

Mrs. Du watched the two of them come in, and hurriedly came over to take the basket on her mother-in-law's back, which contained not only eggs but also scraps of cloth.

"Mom, there are still eggs at home, why did you buy more?"

"I didn't buy them, they were given to me by others."

Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Mrs. Li spoke excitedly, she put the cotton on the table and wiped the sweat from her forehead,

"My mother saved a child, and these eggs are a thank-you gift from the parents."

Mrs. Du was confused, how could she run into trouble when she went to buy cotton? Unfortunately, before she could ask, Bai Yunxi directly instructed Mrs. Li,

"Your sister-in-law has been washing cotton clothes these days, so you can put the cotton in her room so that your sister-in-law can use it."

"Oh, I see."

Bai Yunxi washed her hands, went back to the house to change clothes, and just as she came out, Mrs. Du was waiting at the door.

"Mom, just as you and my second brother and sister-in-law left, my great grandfather came. Seeing that you were not there, he left again."

Bai Yunxi pulled a chair under the eaves and sat down to rest her feet.

"Don't pay attention to it. Your great grandfather has been smart all his life. He taught his son step by step. His son made mistakes again and again. Your great grandfather is embarrassed."

Knowing that her son had done something shameful, he came to her just to explain a few words. There was no substantial benefit.

Mrs. Du nodded. Today, her uncle came to question her mother-in-law, and he did a bad job.

Before she could speak, someone came to the door.

"Yunxi girl is back?"

At the gate of the fence, the old patriarch held a pipe and greeted with a smile.
