Chapter 8: The Village Chief's Daughter, Lili
She really didn't expect that man to think so carefully, and even these details were considered for her, but now that she thinks about it, that man is still very good in other places except for putting on a stinky face and threatening himself.
At least for a husband who is on the surface, he still has nothing to say to her as a wife.
With complicated thoughts, Shu Qingai followed the daughter-in-law of the sea into the embroidery building. The embroidery building is not big, it is two doors, but there is a hole in the embroidery building.
Rows of neat shelves, neatly stacked with fabrics of different colors and fabrics, instantly glanced, Shu Qingai was a little dazzled.
The counter inside is also high, and the back of the table is also a shelf made of wood, but there are some delicate embroidered surfaces, pendants and other objects on it.
The shop was against the wall of the street, the windows were open, and some ready-to-wear clothes were deliberately hung, and some handkerchiefs, shoes, socks, belly pockets, underwear and other personal items were placed on a panel under the ready-to-wear.
Shu Qingai, a fresh human being from the 21st century, was also curious about these things of the ancients, and he didn't see the daughter-in-law of the sea handing over the embroidery with the shopkeeper, so he walked around in this store.
She was dressed in tattered clothes, and she was quite clean anyway, but there were too many patches, although Shu Qing was a little disgusted in her love, but there was nothing she could do. I won't go out in the red dress I wore the day before yesterday, how eye-catching!
"Oh, don't touch it, can you afford to touch it?"
Shu Qingai looked at a girl who was holding a piece of cloth and looking at it carefully, she also liked the color of the cloth, so she wanted to touch the fabric and feel uncomfortable, as soon as her hand reached over, a sharp female voice sounded, and she looked at her with disgust and disdain.
Shu Qingai withdrew her hand, looked down at her little hands covered with calluses and rough, and pursed her mouth, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what this person said.
But it's useless to hold the fabric yourself, after all, you can't make clothes, and it's futile to buy the fabric and go back, so you turn around and go to the window to have a look.
Who knows, the sharp soprano sounded again.
"Oh, I said shopkeeper, are you doing business with the door open? Or do you do a good deed? Why did you even put a flower child in, don't you want us to come to your store to buy something! Look at the man, and it will turn my appetite at the sight. ”
Hearing this, the fire in Shu Qing's heart suddenly came up!
This man still kicked his nose in the face, huh? Did she recruit her and provoke her? I want to buy a dress, but she doesn't let people settle down! Look at that person's appearance, he is not wearing the usual clothes, why are his eyes almost on the top of his head!
Why did you want to be called Hanako? But is it just that the clothes are more worn out and there are more patches? Her hair is also combed with a neat braided back, which is still a Korean reproduction! It's neatly combed, and her face is cleanly washed, she looks like a stinky begging for food!
She turned around angrily and confronted the person who had just said her!
The man's appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at the bun is still an unmarried girl, wearing an emerald green cardigan dress, but it is just a fine cotton fabric, a silver hairpin on his head, the color is not bright, at first glance it is a very old headdress, but the appearance is okay, and in Shu Qingai's eyes, it can only be regarded as not ugly.
But she didn't expect that she was also born as a village girl, and that person was so arrogant and looked down on people! She thought it was a young lady of a family who looked down on people like that!
"Hehe, who was my daughter at that time? At first glance, you're just a country girl, so you can have eyes on top of your head, huh? ”
Shu Qingai looked at it coldly, her eyes were cold, and she saw that the girl's anger just now had come up.
What's wrong with her being a village girl? But is she an ordinary village girl? Her father is the village chief of the village, who doesn't want to scold her from those people in the village? This Hanako still dares to look down on her so arrogantly!
"Hey, girl, this is open for business, you are a guest when you enter the door, I just saw the girl, you are looking at that muslin, right? The vision is so good, there is only one horse left in this cloth, if the girl wants it, then I will give you a discount. ”
Seeing this battle, a middle-aged woman hurriedly put down the work in her hand and walked out from behind the counter, pulled the girl who had just quarreled with Shu Qingai, and walked to where to put the cloth, obviously wanting to break the stubble.
Qiu, the daughter-in-law of the sea, heard the movement here, thinking that someone was bullying Shu Qingai, so she couldn't help frowning and walked over.
"Sister Shu, what's wrong?"
She had just handed over the embroidered handkerchief with the shopkeeper, but she didn't notice it. Seeing that Shu Qingai's face was not good, he asked.
Shu Qingai pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, have you sold your sister-in-law's things?" ”
Seeing that Shu Qingai didn't say anything, the daughter-in-law of the sea, Qiu, didn't ask much.
"It's sold, have you chosen your fabric? But you have to choose a few more bodies, you look so thoughtful, and a man is also a hurtful person, so don't feel sorry for the money. ”
"Okay, then sister-in-law, you can also help me choose, I think this ready-to-wear is good, what does my sister-in-law think?"
Shu Qingai didn't plan to worry about the little girl in general, but when she saw that the person was pulled aside by the shopkeeper, she discussed the clothes with the daughter-in-law of the sea.
"Hey, this is fine cotton, not bad, why doesn't Sister Shu buy a few pieces of fabric? It is also much more cost-effective to make clothes in this way, and you can buy two or three pieces of fabric for this set of ready-to-wear clothes. ”
This countryman is already budget-conscious, so the daughter-in-law of the sea still expresses her inner opinion from the heart.
It's just that it's hard for Shu Qingai, she is good at her hands, scalpels and silver needles, but with embroidery needles, it's a little difficult for her.
"I don't know how to make clothes, so I thought about selling two ready-made good clothes."
When Shu Qingai said this, she was really a little weak-hearted, after all, the former master heard that she was a good hand at embroidery, and she didn't know if the daughter-in-law of the sea knew it.
But fortunately, she didn't see anything on the face of the daughter-in-law of the sea, she just showed an expression that was the same.
"Isn't that easy? You go and sell a few pieces of fabric, and your sister-in-law can make it for you, which will save a lot. ”
Hearing the daughter-in-law of the sea say this, Shu Qingai wanted to refuse, but when she thought about it, people also had good intentions, but they didn't refuse.
"That's a good relationship, but I can't let my sister-in-law help me in vain, so let's do it, I'll pay my sister-in-law some wages when the time comes."
Hearing that Shu Qingai saw her like this, the daughter-in-law of the sea, Qiu's face sank; "What do you say about being so different from me? Isn't it just about making a few clothes? It doesn't take much effort, and your sister-in-law is not happy to mention the salary to me. ”
In this regard, Shu Qingai is still very principled.
I just got to know this sea daughter-in-law, how could I be so troublesome? Besides, this sea daughter-in-law usually relies on embroidery to supplement her family, how can she be embarrassed to let her family help in vain.
"No, if my sister-in-law doesn't agree, then I'll buy this ready-to-wear."
Seeing that Shu Qingai was still so insistent after several times, the daughter-in-law of the sea nodded in agreement.
Shu Qingai chose a white muslin and planned to make a shirt. Thinking that he was now living in the mountains, and that he would have to open up the land to do farm work when he went back, he chose two kinds of coarse cloth suitable for coating, and the colors were dark and dirt-resistant.
Just as she was about to pay, she remembered that in the cabinet in the bamboo house, the man's change of clothes seemed to be only two, and one was broken yesterday, so she chose an indigo muslin on the counter, and planned to make two for the man.
When the daughter-in-law of the sea saw that cloth, there was nothing wrong, and then she looked at Shu Qingai's eyes, all of them were ambiguous expressions.
When I checked out, it was unfortunate that I met the girl just now.
"Humph!"
When the girl saw Shu Qingai holding her purse and planning to settle the bill, she let out a cold snort in her nose, but she didn't look at her again.
"Hey, Lili, you're here to buy fabrics too? Hey, this is fine cotton, it costs a lot of silver, right? ”
Shu Qingai heard the surprised voice of the daughter-in-law of the sea, and looked along her line of sight, but saw that she was greeting the little girl who had her nostrils up just now!
"Hey, it turned out to be Sister-in-law Qiu? You were with that woman? ”
The girl named Lili looked at Shu Qingai standing with her daughter-in-law of the sea, and the whole person felt bad!
The daughter-in-law of the sea didn't know about the episode she had just had with Shu Qingai, so she smiled and pulled Shu Qingai to make an introduction.
"Yes, isn't this the new daughter-in-law of Brother Cheng? We're all one village from now on. ”
When the words fell, the daughter-in-law of the sea turned her eyes to Shu Qingai again, and introduced her with a smile: "Sister Shu, this is Lili from our village, the daughter of the village chief's family." ”
Shu Qingai was stunned, but she didn't have any good looks for Na Lili, she just nodded lightly, and she knew each other.
But the expression on Na Lili's face is a little changed! She seemed to be surprised: "This, this is the bearded daughter-in-law?" Ah! I really didn't expect that what you think, even if you dare to marry that man as a daughter-in-law! ”
Shu Qingai almost wanted to slap this woman who was not as thick as the sky!
What happened to the man? Where is that man bad? Not only is she handsome, but she is also so considerate to her!
Thinking of this, Shu Qingai was speechless, why did she think that man was good? She scolded him hundreds of times in her heart before, why did she still defend him!
"Hey, you girl, Acheng and Brother are good, he just doesn't like to deal with people in the village, why do you say that?"
The daughter-in-law of the sea also collapsed on her face, and she didn't have the same good attitude towards Na Lili as she had just now.
