Chapter 8: Blood stained cloth and thread

Views:

The waiter took out an ordinary, unremarkable wooden box from the counter. Then, he took out the longevity lock and a pair of silver bracelets that Wu Meili was interested in, and carefully placed them inside.

The red cotton doily and silver jewelry in the boxy brown-black wooden box present a distinctly colored beauty.

At this time, Wu Meili also turned around and placed a small ingot on the counter.

"Here's one tael of silver for you."

The waiter took the little Yuanbao, looked at it slightly, then raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Madam, is this a reward from a noble lady?"

"You have really good taste. Yes, this is what noble people reward."

Wu Meili nodded and said proudly.

The waiter in the shop shook the weight of the small ingot in his hand and explained it clearly.

"Madam, this is not a question of good vision, but that only noble people can cast this kind of silver with no missing parts and beautiful patterns. The most important thing is that the noble people send people to cast this kind of silver. Most of them are not It’s not for use, but for giving rewards to juniors or people below.”

"There is still such a thing, I have learned a lesson."

Wu Meili nodded again, and with satisfaction took the wooden box containing the jewelry prepared for her eldest son and grandson from the waiter in the store, and carefully stuffed it into her chest.

The waiter handed the wooden box over and said with a smile.

"Small ingots like these given by nobles usually have a fixed weight and are of good quality. Thanks to my wife, I don't need to check the quality, cut the silver, or weigh it."

Wu Meili smiled and did not answer. Because she didn't understand the last words the waiter said at all. Why is it so troublesome to pay the bill with money

Leaving the silver building happily, Wu Meili touched the heavy wooden box on her chest and smiled happily. Then, she got on the bullock cart again and walked around the town.

——

Carrying the things she just bought, Wu Meili drove an ox cart and slowly returned to the village.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, why did you go to the town again and come back with so many things?"

"Hey, it's nothing. It's just that the boys in my family met an injured old man on the mountain. I saw that he was seriously injured, so I took her to the hospital in the town in a bullock cart. In order to thank me, the old man, So he gave me a little reward. Look at my car full of things. They were all bought with that money."

It is not so strange that the person who has received the kindness still gives a gift of thanks without repaying it. Therefore, even if everyone was envious, jealous, and hateful, they had no suspicion at all. They were all either filled with weird emotions or sincere joy.

By the time the bullock cart returned to the yard, Wu Meili's experience had spread throughout the village. I don’t know how many people felt regretful, why didn’t they just go up the mountain and rescue the injured person by the way.

"I'm back,"

Driving an ox cart into the yard, Wu Meili shouted loudly.

Soon, families appeared from everywhere and met in the middle of the yard.

"Mom, you came back with a lot of things to buy, what are they?"

Zhou Lang came to Wu Meili with a cheerful face and asked with a smile on his face.

Wu Meili shook her head and said.

"You kid, you are so anxious."

Zhou Lang chuckled, but his eyes were still staring at the dimple covered by the quilt without blinking. Judging from this look, there should be a lot of stuff.

Wu Meili looked around at her son and daughter-in-law, and gave orders to the crowd with a slightly raised corner of her mouth.

"Boss, please take down our cow and take it to the cowshed. Give it some water and some food. Second brother, take the things we bought into the hall and share them with you later. . Luya, pull down the sheets and quilt and find some time to wake up. As for the third child, collect the quilts and put them in the yard to bask in the sun."

The sons and daughters-in-law nodded in agreement and quickly got to work. Wu Meili, who had been on the road for such a long time, went into the kitchen to drink a ladle of water and ate something cold to fill her stomach.

"Ah, mother, come and see."

The green buds in the yard suddenly exclaimed and shouted loudly.

Wu Meili quickly swallowed what she had not finished eating and hurried out.

"What's wrong, Luya?"

Luya pouted, pointed at two places on the sheet and quilt, and said in panic.

"Mom, look, there is blood!"

Hearing such an answer, Wu Meili couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Kiss waved his hand gently and replied disapprovingly.

"Lu Ya, what are you afraid of? It's just a little blood. There was an old man with a broken leg lying on it just now. It's normal to accidentally get a little blood."

Lu Ya was stunned for a moment after hearing such a statement. She grabbed her hair that had been tied up and asked in confusion.

"Didn't you say you broke your leg? Why is it still bleeding?"

"Probably he suffered a little flesh injury, so he lost a lot of blood."

Wu Meili explained casually and ran to the kitchen to fill her stomach. After going back and forth for a while, she almost fainted from hunger.

Lu Ya nodded ignorantly and directly stuffed the sheets and quilt into the wooden basin nearby. Then, I added some precipitated plant ash water, wetted the blood-stained area, and rubbed it.

After struggling to clean up the blood and cleaning up other areas, Lu Ya began to look for foreign aid.

"Erlang, come here quickly and help me get rid of the water above. Third brother, please get another shelf out. I will dry the sheets and quilt later."

"Lu Ya, I'll be right over."

Zhou Erlang nodded, raised his head and said something, then washed his hands and came to Lu Ya to help.

Zhoulang on the other side turned around and ran to the side, and quickly made another stand.

"Second sister-in-law, I've done it."

"Thank you, third brother,"

Lu Ya smiled at Zhou Lang, took the half-dry and half-wet sheets, and put them on the shelf with her feet slightly weighed.

Zhou Lang rubbed his hands helplessly and ran away with a shy look on his face.

"Second sister-in-law, we are all part of the same family, so thank you for everything."

After everyone's tasks were completed, Wu Meili had laid out all the things she bought in the hall. She yelled, then lowered her head and fiddled with the items in front of her.

"You guys close the courtyard door tightly and come over and take a look at what I bought."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face showed a hint of joy.

As the eldest of the three brothers, Zhou Dalang closed the courtyard door without hesitation and led his family into the hall.

Including the pregnant eldest daughter-in-law, all the sons and daughters-in-law gathered in a circle and sat down aside. Wu Meili nodded with satisfaction and was the first to push out the pile of cloth.

"The blue one goes to the eldest son, the cyan one goes to the second oldest, the green one goes to the third oldest, this red one goes to my eldest son and grandson who has not yet been born, this white one with broken flowers goes to Lotus, this pink one with broken flowers goes to lotus I’ll give it to Lu Ya. Lu Ya is still young, so it’s most appropriate to wear clothes of this color. As for the white and purple striped ones, they belong to me, an old woman. And this piece of cloth with blue flowers on a white background, I’ll give it to you. Auntie."

Hearing this distribution method, everyone laughed from ear to ear. Everyone has a whole piece of cloth. How could such a good thing have happened many years ago.

Wu Meili was not surprised by everyone's expressions. She once again found two colorful embroidery threads from the things and handed them to her two daughters-in-law one by one.

"I saw this thing better in the town, and some young ladies liked it very much. So I bought three copies, one for each of the lotus and green buds, and one for the aunt, and none for the others."

The two daughters-in-law took the colorful silk threads, covered their mouths and started laughing. This was their first time handling such beautiful silk threads of various colors, and they fell in love with it.

After laughing, Hehua asked worriedly.

"Mom, we can't learn embroidery like my eldest sister. Isn't it a waste of these colorful silk threads for us?"

Luya also intervened at this time and said.

"Why don't I give them all to my eldest sister, who is suitable for such good things."

Wu Meili shook her head and scolded her dissatisfiedly.

"What nonsense? My aunt is my daughter, and you are my son and wife. I am very fair. What aunt has, you also have. What you have, aunt must also have. If you keep these colorful silk threads, it can be considered as my doing. A little thought from my mother-in-law. Don’t tell me that you can’t embroider, you can still make some small flowers and grass.”

The lotus flowers and green buds were helpless and had no choice but to accept it with great excitement. I was also thinking about embroidering some simple patterns on my family's clothes to enhance the overall appearance.

Wu Meili patted the two wives' hands and continued.

"As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother. Hehua, although you are pregnant, you can still do things like cutting clothes. I will leave the piece of cloth for the third child to you. Remember to make some clothes for him. . When he marries a wife in the future, this matter will be left to his wife."

Hehua glanced at her third brother and had no reason to disagree. She smiled and nodded, agreeing. Moreover, the third brother didn't need the pieces of cloth that were still scattered after making clothes, so she could safely accept them.

Wu Meili turned to look at her second daughter-in-law, Luya, ready to say something.

Lu Ya understood it, and before Wu Meili could say anything, she assured her loudly and clearly.

"Mom, leave your clothes to me, and I will make them beautiful for you. I won't use a separate color at that time. I will change some cloths with my sister-in-law and use cloths of several colors to make them together."

Wu Meili thought for a while and felt that the clothes made like that should be pretty good-looking, so she nodded in a funny way.

"Lu Ya, you kid is just a brain worker. That's all, just do what you want. Anyway, I bought so many colors of cloth, enough for you to change them several times."

"Yes, mother."

The two daughters-in-law looked at each other and nodded in unison.
