Chapter 537: Unexpected Trouble (2)_1
She and Lixiu helped Aunt Wu choose for a while, and soon both of them set their sights on two bolts of cloth, one lake blue and the other light cyan. Suitable for men and women, young and old alike, it was much more expensive than what Aunt Wu’s family usually wore, and the two bolts together cost two taels of silver.
"Yan girl, the cloth is indeed nice, but it’s a bit too expensive. Big Sister Dani, Tie Tou, and I usually do rough work and don’t need to wear such fine fabric." Aunt Wu felt the soft and comfortable cloth, liking it very much yet reluctant to buy, even if she wasn’t lacking those two taels of silver at the moment. You must know, two taels of silver were enough to cover half a year’s household expenses!
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan was willing to spend two taels of silver to buy the cloth for Aunt Wu, but she knew that to do so would be a slap in Aunt Wu’s face, so she didn’t speak up.
Glancing at Big Sister Dani, not far off looking at fabrics, she gently persuaded, "Aunt Wu, Big Sister Dani is already of age to dress well! If you’re worried about the fabric getting dirty and not being durable, why not just wear an apron over it when doing chores?"
When Aunt Wu heard this, she quickly looked toward Big Sister Dani. Seeing her in her dusty old clothes, a girl of a blossoming age appeared somewhat decrepit against the backdrop of various vivid cloths.
The shopkeeper also eagerly persuaded, "These two bolts of cloth are the best-selling in the shop, not only because of the fine weaving but also the even dye. Whether a young maiden or a young wife, it looks good on anyone! Today, we’ve only got these two left. If you miss out, we may not have them next time you come. Lady, just buy them!"
