Second uncle Su Huaian obviously meant the same thing, only Su Yitian had a struggle in her eyes.
Su Qiao felt helpless about the honest people in this room.
This cloth is ready-made and you don't have to use money at home to buy it, so why are you so frugal
"Uncle and aunt, my second brother is not young anymore and will soon be looking for a marriage partner. Erni is already a grown-up girl. If she doesn't dress decently, how could a better family look upon her?"
"This...?" The couple hesitated.
Su Qiao didn't look at them anymore, but looked at the old lady: "Grandma, we can earn money now, so we can't be as frugal as before.
Eat what you should eat, wear what you should wear. Isn't this the purpose of life? "
"You don't have to worry about silver. If I can earn ten taels of silver, I can earn a hundred taels, a thousand taels. In the future, I want to earn money to buy you a headpiece and bracelets!"
After hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but smile.
Although the hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, head ornaments and bracelets seemed a bit exaggerated, as a grandmother, she was still very happy that her granddaughter had this idea.
Zhou Lihua quickly pulled her daughter and said, "My daughter, don't forget me, your mother."
She didn't believe her daughter could earn so much money before, but now she believes it 100%.
Su Qiao was helpless and speechless: "Don't worry, I won't forget you, and I will buy it for the whole family."
"Qiao'er is right. Money is meant to be spent. If you don't want to spend anything, you will regret it when you are buried in the ground."
The old man looked at his wife, with some apology in his cloudy eyes:
"You haven't had a good life with me. Your grandchildren are so filial. Just follow their lead and make two new sets of clothes!"
The old lady gave him a glare and said, "What are you talking about, old man?"
"What good days and bad days? Isn't this how we all live when we get married in our village? I don't feel it's hard at all."
Su Qiao laughed and said, "Grandma, my grandfather is worried about you, so just agree to it! Not only do you have to make it this time, but you have to make two sets of nice-looking ones."
The old lady couldn't help but raise her lips again: "Okay, then I'll make two sets!"
After a pause, he glanced at everyone and said, "Make it for the whole family. Make two sets for each person."
Eight rolls of cloth are enough to make two sets of clothes for each family member, and there will be some cloth left over, which can be used to make jackets in autumn.
Zhou Lihua hugged the rose-red one and said, "I want this one. It suits me best."
The corner of Su Qiao's mouth twitched.
"Mom, go to town and see what colors and patterns the ladies of the wealthy families wear."
You don't even look at your figure before choosing such a bright color.
Su Qiao assured that if she really wore a rose-red dress, she would definitely look fatter.
Maybe if she puts on some bright red lips and blush, she'll look like an opera star.
Zhou Lihua hesitated, and her grip on the cloth loosened a little: "What colors are they wearing?"
Su Qiao pointed at two pieces of cloth that were neither too dark nor too light in color:
"This snow-blue color is the most noble, and many ladies wear it. There is also this sea-blue satin with small white flowers, and even wives of officials wear it."
"Really?" Zhou Lihua opened her eyes wide and loosened the cloth in her hand.
"What do you think?"
Su Qiao didn't want to see her wandering around the village like a red butterfly.
Zhou Lihua looked at the rose-red fabric in front of her with some reluctance: "But...but mother still thinks this one is the most outstanding and the best looking."
