Chapter 170 Buying Cotton

"Hu Zi Niang, please don't be angry anymore. Mom has already made her statement that she is not allowed to come to our house again. Don't worry, I won't let her come back either."

Zhang Daqiang kept smiling and could only say good things. Who made his family do such stupid things? Fortunately, Huzi was rescued. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to pieces and would not be able to keep his wife and children.

Baiyunxi found where Li was sitting and couldn't help but shake her head. This child was really good. He was sitting on the step when she left. It was still the same when she came back, and his posture didn't change.

“Mom, are you back?” Mrs. Li stood up and put the basket on her back, “Let’s go buy cotton.”

“Let’s go, you can go home after buying cotton.” Bai Yunxi took Li to Cloth Village and found out that cotton costs thirty cents per catty. Considering the output during this period, the price is quite acceptable.

Baiyunxi bought ten kilograms and spent 300 yuan. Looking at the rags piled in the corner by the shopkeeper, he thought it would be a good idea to sew stuffed toys for Yaya.

“Shopkeeper, you see I have bought something like this, can you give me some of the rags you have in the corner?”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he glanced at Baiyunxi and then at the rags piled in the corner. He walked over, grabbed a large handful, and handed it over.

“Here, someone has ordered the rags, so I can’t give you too much.”

"Thank you very much. I will sew a doll for my granddaughter. These are enough."

Baiyunxi took it and put it in the basket. She carried the basket and Li carried the cotton, and they walked home together.

“Mom, let me carry the basket. The cotton is very light, so I won’t feel tired at all.”

Bai Yunxi looked at the big bag behind her and couldn't see anyone anymore, so she couldn't help but chuckle.

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

The two of them were quite lucky. As soon as they left the town, they met an ox cart returning from the county. Each of them got two cents and sat at the entrance of the village, which saved them a lot of trouble.

“Mom, you are finally back.”

Mrs. Du watched the two of them enter the door and hurriedly came to greet her. She took the basket from her mother-in-law's back. It contained not only eggs but also rags.

“Mom, there are still eggs at home, why did you buy them again?”

 “I didn’t buy it, it was a gift from someone else.”

 Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Mrs. Li spoke enthusiastically. 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 her parents.”

Du Shi was confused, how could she still get into trouble if she bought some cotton? Unfortunately, before she could ask, Bai Yunxi directly ordered Mrs. Li,

“These days, your sister-in-law is unpacking and washing cotton-padded clothes. You just put the cotton in her room for your sister-in-law’s convenience.”

 “Hey, I got it.”

Baiyunxi washed her hands and went back to the house to change her clothes. As soon as she came out, Mrs. Du was waiting at the door.

“Mom, as soon as you and your second brother and sister left, my uncle came. Seeing that you were not there, he left again.”

Baiyunxi moved a chair under the eaves and sat down to rest.

"Ignore it. Your uncle has been shrewd all his life and has taught his son step by step. If he makes mistakes again and again, your uncle's face will be disgraced."

Knowing that her son had done something embarrassing, he came to her just to explain something, and there was no real benefit.

  Du Shi nodded, today her uncle came to question her mother-in-law, and he really didn't do a good 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 dry pipe and said hello with a smile.
