The sister-in-law took out a few pieces of cloth of different colors and opened them for Gu Lan to see. Gu Lan touched it with his hand, and sure enough, it was a pure cotton muslin cloth, soft and comfortable to touch.

"Mom, what color do you like? Let's go back and make clothes for Daddy and you. Gu Lan turned his head and asked Li Yanpin.

Li Yanpin shook his head again and again, indicating that he didn't want to.

Gu Lan was helpless, so he took it upon himself to choose blue cloth for Li Yan, and blue for Gu Jinkang. After thinking about it, I chose some cheesecloth again. Gu Jinkang often does farm work, and his clothes must be wearable.

Although Li Yanpin was reluctant in his heart, seeing Gu Lan's insistence, he didn't object anymore, and helped Gu Lan choose the color.

Li Yanpin often knows the size of Gu Jinkang's clothes, she reports the size, and her sister-in-law cuts it with scissors.

The clothes were finally cut, and seeing that Gu Lan had bought so many fabrics at once, he gave her some fabric corners.

Li Yanpin told Gu Lan that these leftovers can be used to make shoe uppers.

Gu Lan didn't expect that at this level, Li Yanpin was a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, who knew how to make the best use of things and save as much as he could.

Gu Lan thought about it, so he gave a few extra pennies and asked the sister-in-law of the cloth shop to give as much leftovers as possible, after all, a family of three has to wear shoes all seasons, and Li Yanpin can do more when the time comes.

The sister-in-law of the cloth shop was also refreshing, trying to give Gu Lan more leftovers, and giving different colors, Gu Lan secretly said in her heart, this sister-in-law is really good at doing business, and she is very good at watching people do things.

As soon as she left the store, she happened to meet Chen Zhilan again, Chen Zhilan saw Li Yanpin and Gu Lan coming out of the cloth shop with a large bag, her eyes were straight, and she immediately stepped forward to stop them, "Yo! What did the siblings buy? This big bag and small bag, I'm afraid it cost a lot of silver! ”

As he spoke, he reached forward and looked through the package to see what was inside. The package was placed in a bamboo basket, and I wanted to look around behind Li Yanpin.

Gu Lan stepped forward, blocked in front of her, and said coldly, "It's just some groceries bought, don't stretch out your aunt's hand, beware of being chopped up." ”

"You, how do you talk little slut? I didn't steal or rob, who would dare to chop my hand?"

"My hands have been put into other people's packages, and I still say that I didn't reach out?" Gu Lan slapped her hand away unceremoniously.

"You little slut dared to do it! I'm not going to worry about you little baby here, go back and see how I clean you up?" Chen Zhilan had learned the previous lesson, and she didn't dare to make a fuss with Gu Lan on this street, but she was thinking about how to teach her a lesson when she went back.

Li Yanpin spoke at this time, "Sister, Mingzhu is still young and ignorant, so don't worry about a child, I don't care about your Chunhua's words, do I?" ”

Although Li Yanpin said that she was soft-tempered, she would never agree to watch Chen Zhilan bully her daughter?

This time she didn't back down, and there was a hint of sharpness in her words.

"Protect your daughter! Spoil her so much that she can't afford to be lawless, and when the time comes, marry someone else's family, see if she dares to spill? When the time comes, someone will teach her. Hum! Chen Zhilan failed to please twice, she was holding her stomach in her heart, thinking about Mrs. Gu's idea, she was happy again in her heart, and she didn't stop talking.

Gu Lan heard that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Married into someone else's family, am I still young?" Haven't decided yet? Why is my aunt worried about me, what you should worry about is your Chunhua! ”

"My Chunhua won't marry, if you want to marry, you will marry it, don't forget, you haven't paid back the dowry money yet?"

"How much is the dowry money? I'm going to borrow it and give it back to you today?" Gu Lan immediately took over the conversation.

As soon as she heard that Gu Lan wanted to repay the dowry money, Chen Zhilan panicked, the dowry money was just a pretense, if Gu Lan really returned the dowry money, wouldn't her own Chunhua have to marry her? Why did he withdraw the dowry money at this time, he was really dizzy.

"I won't tell you, you can do it, and if you don't pay the dowry money, you will marry instead." After Chen Zhilan finished bluffing, she hurriedly left. blamed herself for being cheap, Mrs. Gu told her not to mention the dowry money again, but she just said it.

If the second room really took out the dowry money, wouldn't his plan be in vain.

Mrs. Gu told Chen Zhilan that day that if the Chu family really welcomed her relatives, she would knock Gu Lan unconscious and send her to the sedan chair, and said to the outside world that the second room used the dowry money, and she was willing to marry instead of Chunhua to offset the dowry money.

The Gu family didn't force her to marry instead, everything was done by her willingly.

In this way, the Gu family will have face.

The premise is that the second room has not repaid the dowry money.

Chen Zhilan left in a panic, but Gu Lan's heart sank, listening to Chen Zhilan's tone, they still didn't give up the idea of letting themselves marry instead.

Li Yanpin felt that Gu Lan was depressed, took her hand and said, "Mingzhu, don't worry, even if you don't pay back the dowry money, your mother won't let you marry, your father and I don't agree, can they still knock you out and send you away?"

Unexpectedly, in Li Yanpin's words, the Gu family really knocked Gu Lan unconscious. That's an afterword.

Gu Lan was also relieved to see Li Yanpin defending himself like this. However, it is better to take precautions and pay back the dowry money as soon as possible.

"Mom, do you know how much money it took to find a doctor to treat me?" Gu Lan wanted to know how much silver was used? I seem to have managed to raise it early, and it's better to be early.

"This mother doesn't know, the doctor was invited by his wife, and the silver came from the big house. You have to ask them to find out. ”

"Then ask when you go back! This cannot be delayed any longer. Gu Lan was a little anxious.

The Chu family forced the marriage to be tight, but Chen Zhilan's silver was not urgent, and he didn't see the door of the second room in the past few days, and Gu Chunhua didn't come to urge the silver. With the personalities of their mothers, they will not be able to stabilize their minds.

There must be something hidden from the second room.

Gu Chunhua has always been unable to hide things, and likes to show off in front of herself, and go back to cover her tone.

With an idea in his heart, Gu Lan no longer dwelled on what had just happened.

When he saw the hot buns on the steamer on the side of the street, Gu Lan stopped, inquired, two pennies a piece, thinking of the clear soup porridge every morning, Gu Lan also bought fifteen in one go, and Li Yanpin smacked his tongue.

"How do you buy so much? Can you finish eating? ”

"Mom, the porridge in the morning is too thin, no matter how full it is. If you go with this bun, you will be full. Besides, Dad is injured and should be fed. ”

Li Yanpin was silent, and there was not much left after paying the rent of grain every year? Mrs. Gu is in charge of the house, she prefers the big house, and she gives more food, but when she comes to the second room, not only does she get less share, but the coarse grain also accounts for the majority. If there is not enough food to eat, can the porridge not be thin?

Seeing that Mingzhu was hungry, she was also distressed. But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what does she do?

More than a dozen buns, bulging in a cloth bag, a big bag.

Li Yanpin felt that Mingzhu would make money, but he would spend even more money, and these miscellaneous things added up to two taels of silver, and in a blink of an eye, the silver in his hand was less than half, and Li Yanpin looked at the pain in his flesh.
