She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 166 Making cotton-padded jackets is still more cost-effective

Before I could say anything, the person went downstairs.

"That speed is truly..."

Ji Shuyin shook her head helplessly and stopped worrying about these things.

Now that Jiang Shi'an has said he'll handle the inquiries, I can focus on selling things for the next couple of days.

The vegetables inside the space are estimated to weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

She felt it was too much, so she planted soybeans in the newly cleared space.

Later, when there are more vegetable trellises, we can plant corn.

Grain has a much wider market than vegetables.

However, it was already very cold.

I have enough clothes for winter.

But they're all too good.

That's right, it's too good for this rural area.

If everyone is dressed well, then there's no problem.

But if everyone else is dressed in old, patched-up clothes, and you're dressed in shiny, clean clothes, then you'll become the target of everyone's criticism.

In addition, since I live alone and am a girl, there are many more external dangers.

This situation must be prevented.

In my own space, there is cotton and cloth.

They even had sewing machines.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it myself.

If you dress very conspicuously and go to the black market, it can be a very dangerous thing.

So the clothing issue needs to be resolved quickly, mainly because it's really cold.

Just then, Huang Chunjing, Liu Qingyu, and Yang Leyu also went to buy clothes, so they all went together.

"How about we all buy some thick cotton-padded coats? I see them wearing them, and they look really warm."

None of the people were locals, so they had no idea how cold it was here.

The clothes I brought, though nice, weren't really that thick.

“Okay, I think Leyu is right, those clothes are also dirt-resistant.”

This point must also be taken into account.

Living in the countryside means you have to cook your own meals over a fire, and the stove and hearth are always covered in dust.

These things are unavoidable.

"I think it's a good idea. Let's head for the thick cotton-padded coats and thick cotton-padded trousers later."

Liu Qingyu agreed, but Yang Leyu had a different idea at this moment.

"Actually, we can buy some fabric and make it ourselves."

The main advantage is that it's cheap and offers a high degree of autonomy.

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuyin was also tempted.

If possible, one can use one's own resources openly and legitimately.

"But this is too technical. Do any of you know how to do it?"

Of course not, so everyone shook their heads, except for Yang Leyu, who looked confident.

"Do you still remember Sister Guihua who used to make sauerkraut for us?"

"You want her to do it for us?"

I already told her last time to try not to provoke her.

"Yes, I was thinking of making clothes so I wouldn't have to go out and there wouldn't be any danger."

There shouldn't be any problems, Shuyin, right?

She felt embarrassed, so she specifically asked her by name.

"If I remember correctly, Sister Guihua's belly should be quite big, right?"

"Indeed, it has been nine months."

However, she was very quick and skillful, and doing needlework was no problem for her.

Seeing Yang Leyu's urgency, she felt something was definitely wrong.

"Leyu, tell me the truth, is something wrong?"
After all, she's been nine months along; she could give birth at any moment.

Upon hearing this, she sighed, feeling quite helpless.

"Since we've come this far, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Sister-in-law Guihua is actually quite pitiful.

She's so heavily pregnant, yet she still goes up the mountain to collect firewood every day. Her two daughters, one five years old and the other only three, come with her every day.

You wouldn't believe it, that little girl was so thin and frail, dressed so lightly. I was really afraid a gust of wind would blow her over.

When I get back, I still have to do laundry and cook; I won't have a moment to rest.

"If we make clothes together, they'll look the same, we can save money, and we can help Sister Guihua too. Why not?"

Her thinking was simple: as long as Tian Guihua wasn't allowed to go out, that would be fine.

She earns money from home, so what could her mother-in-law possibly complain about?

"What?! They're going too far! That's a nine-month pregnant woman!"

Huang Chunjing, this angry young man, went straight online to start criticizing.

"Yes, I was thinking of helping her out too."

Besides, we can't expect to get our clothes made for free.

Her needlework is really good, so please help her, okay, Shuyin?

Uh, I didn't expect that I would give her the final say. How embarrassing.

"I don't care, anything is fine with me."

Hearing her say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Girls are inherently compassionate.

Moreover, Tian Guihua really helped Yang Leyu a lot.

The atmosphere changed instantly. The group walked along, cursing Tian Guihua's mother-in-law, and soon arrived at the county supply and marketing cooperative.

There are quite a few styles of ready-made clothes here.

Even those big floral cotton-padded jackets are available; buying them ready-made is actually more convenient.

However, it is indeed more expensive.

Fearing she might change her mind, Yang Leyu quickly called her over.

"Shuyin, come and look at the cloth."

"it is good."

Her idea was to buy one and then have another made, so she could alternate wearing the two.

Moreover, it won't interfere with my ability to sell things these two days.

“I have some fabric at home, I brought it from the city, you can buy it.”

I'll go look at ready-made clothes and buy one to wear first.

Upon hearing this, the other party seemed somewhat frightened.

"Shuyin, you haven't changed your mind, have you?"

"No, don't worry."

After offering a few words of comfort, Huang Chunjing decided to do the same and buy a ready-made one to wear first.

I helped her choose fabric and then bought cotton.

Then, I went to pick out ready-made clothes.

Because the two counters weren't next to each other, I didn't notice that two people were arguing over there.

"I clearly saw it first, why should I give it to you? Don't cry, crying won't make a difference."

This girl was speaking quite loudly, defending her rights.

The one opposite her had a delicate and frail appearance.

"I know you were the one who took a liking to it first, but this dress is really important to me."

"I came from Suzhou to work in the countryside, and I had no idea it was this cold here. If I didn't have this thick coat, I would have frozen to death."

People around who were watching the spectacle started talking about it.

"You comrade, people have come all this way to build our hometown. It's just a piece of clothing, and you're making such a fuss. You're really disgracing Northeast China."

"that is……"

"That's too stingy..."

Faced with pointing fingers and whispers, the girl did not give in; instead, she glared angrily at the crowd.

"I saw it first, why should I give it to her?"

There should be a first-come, first-served order, shouldn't there? Don't you guys have any sense of reason?

"Besides, there are so many thick clothes, why did you specifically choose this one I have? Are you doing this on purpose?"

As he spoke, he pointed directly at the other person.

The other person's tears fell even more fiercely.

Ji Shuyin couldn't stand it any longer and walked over.

"Oh my, what a coincidence!"
