Chapter 275. Collect silver
Speaking of which, she applied the same method and stuffed the surplus directly into Jin’s hands.
"I still have some substandard fabric bought two years ago. If Shuniang needs it, I’ll also give some."
Upon hearing this, Jin couldn’t hold back her emotions and kept nodding. Their clothes had been worn for almost a year, the ones outside were already tattered, and while the inner layers were slightly better, they were also in poor shape.
"Alright, I’ll bring them over later... In our village, there are a few families good at weaving. I’ll introduce you to them later; if they have any extras, they might be willing to sell."
Qi nodded, thinking of adding another comment mainly because Zhao’s household was in tatters, even their bedding was beyond repair.
The fabrics at home were stockpiled by the daughter before, who bought all the off-season, poor-selling, and slightly moldy fabrics from a shop. This doesn’t even include those stockpiled intentionally later.
In short, their family changes into new clothes all year round, and the stockpiled fabric would last them a lifetime.
While there’s plenty, she can’t take them out, so Qi offered to introduce Jin to villagers.
Of course, she also gave her two younger sisters two pieces each from her parents’ house. These are the final gestures she as a daughter could make for that family.
"That’s wonderful, thank you, sis." While expressing gratitude, Jin took out a small silver coin and handed it to Qi nervously, softly saying: "Sis, listen to me, you must accept this. I’m saying, if... if your family has extra salt, could you share a little with me?"
