C11 Buy Cloth

Aunt Fu saw that Mei Qi Hua was staring at the clothing shop and couldn't move, so she roughly knew what was on her mind. She sighed and asked, "Do you want to wear new clothes?"

Her mother did not have any skill in earning a living, so it was already difficult for her to raise her to such a big age. Therefore, in the past, she would only wear clothes that her mother or her family did not want.

In Aunt Fu's memory, from the time her mother moved to the village, to when Mei Qi Hua was growing up, there had never been a single piece of new clothing in her family.

No wonder seven plum blossoms would be interested in this.

Mei Qi Hua subconsciously pinched the money in her hand and nodded. "I'll go and have a look. I don't have any clothes on at home. I'm rich now, so I might as well buy one or two pieces."

Aunt Fu saw that the child was very assertive so she didn't stop him and just stood at the door waiting for her.

The seven plum blossoms entered the clothing shop, the first thing they saw were various kinds of cloths, some hanging, some placed on display. There were also several ready-made clothing in different styles. The styles looked pretty good, but with Mei Qi Hua Hua, it was quite expensive and didn't suit him.

There were only a few people in the shop. A young girl wearing a long, moon-white dress appeared. She looked to be around sixteen to seventeen years old.

A woman around thirty years old was walking around them, doing her best to introduce the benefits of the outfit.

From the looks of it, it was the Lady Boss.

The appearance of the Xu family's Seven Plum Blossom was rather eye-catching. After all, someone as poor as her did not seem like someone who could afford to buy clothes.

The woman who bought clothes was the first to notice her gaze, so she frowned.

The Lady Boss Xu seemed to be unhappy with the potential customer. When she turned around, she saw a beggar girl standing behind her.

She immediately frowned, "Little girl, what are you doing here?"

Mei Qi Duo knew that she was just looking at someone from the gap in the door and looked down on her. However, she didn't want to care about these bored people either.

"How much are you selling the fabrics here?"

"A piece of sackcloth is thirty, and a piece of cotton is sixty. Silk is even more expensive and more varied. If you want to buy clothes, you should find your master! " With that, she turned towards the woman and said with a fawning smile, "Miss Yu, look at these clothes, they are extremely fitting for you."

"The clothes are good, but why can anyone buy them from you? "If you get your clothes dirty, will you still be able to sell it?" That Miss Yu spoke bluntly, obviously mocking Mei Qi Hua.

Hearing her words, the Lady Boss felt a little awkward. She was in the business world, although she would have some power. But he also understood the principle of not being able to open the door and not being able to kick people out. After all, a big fish was a fish. Little fish are also fish!

Mei Qi Hua was not someone who liked to cause trouble, but she could not stand being ridiculed by others: "No matter how beautiful these clothes are, they must be good looking before they have any value. Otherwise, it would be a waste of a cloth for some people."

"What did you say?" Where did this wild girl come from, daring to scold our Young Miss! " The girl at the side couldn't hold it in and rushed over to scold her. She raised her palm and was about to slap her.

Mei Qi Hua looked at her with disdain. She didn't even try to dodge the attack. Instead, she raised her foot and kicked towards her stomach.

Before that little girl could even get close to her, she was kicked down to the ground by Mei Qi Hua, wailing in pain.

Seemingly not expecting Mei Qianzhuo to retaliate, Miss Yu glared at him and stomped her feet in exasperation, "You still dare to hit people in broad daylight, is there still justice left?"

"Miss, are you blind? Others aren't blind. It was clearly you, the servant girl, who wanted to hit me. I was only defending myself." Everyone saw it, I'm not afraid even if I were to see the official. You, on the other hand, condole out the vile servants. Perhaps they might even be dragged into the prison by the Old Master for a few days to teach you a lesson. " Mei Qi Hua was not afraid of her, but he still threatened her fiercely.

There were a few people beside her who secretly covered their mouths and laughed when they heard her words.

After all, most of them were just commoners. They couldn't bear to see someone acting arrogantly just because he was a little bit rich.

Yu Qiujie's face turned pale, she was truly frightened by Mei Qiuhua. Her father was the mayor, and his family background wasn't bad. He was used to being arrogant and conceited, and would always be praised by others wherever he went. Naturally, he would look down on those poor families.

It was just that in the past, those people had never dared to provoke her, even when they were on good terms with her family. Unlike today, he was actually threatened by a little beggar.

However, this was a city and not her territory, so she naturally did not have the confidence. Worried that she would really be caught by the old master, she only felt wronged as she thought about it.

When they arrived, they did not forget to glare at Mei Qiaohua.

It was just a verbal dispute between the two little girls, so no one really cared about it.

However, the Lady Boss felt that it was a pity. She felt that Mei Qi Hua was powerful, so she turned her head and asked again, "Do you want to buy something?"

Mei Qi Hua nodded her head and put on a cute smile. She then walked to the Lady Boss and asked, "Is this cloth enough to make a set of clothes?"

"A cloth is enough to make an adult. If it's a child like you, then it's more or less the same." The boss hung up the clothes in his hands and explained again and again.

"Then I want two sets of linen, of a brighter color. Women should wear them." Plum Seven felt it was appropriate, so she lowered her head and took out her purse to count the money.

The Lady Boss didn't realize that Plum Blossom really could afford cloth. She quickly took a detour around the cloth rack and picked out a red one and a yellow one.

Seeing that the colors belonged to a little girl like her, Mei Qi Hua felt that it wouldn't be appropriate for her to let her mother wear them. Ye Zichen touched the yellow cloth, and got the boss to change it into a lotus color one.

After paying, Mei Qi Duo was ready to happily carry the cloth home.

When she was about to go out, she saw a man also shopping for clothes. Suddenly, she stopped and remembered that man she had picked up from the mountain.

Although he wasn't related by blood nor did he know each other, he was currently in his own home and didn't have a single piece of decent clothes to change into. His original clothes had long been stained with blood. Although the man looked out of the ordinary, she felt that he would look very handsome in his sackcloth.

As she thought about it, Mei Qi Hua made her decision. She turned around and asked the boss for a green sackcloth.

When she came out, she only had ten cents left in her pocket. Mei Qi Hua hugged the cloth tightly. It seemed that she needed to work even harder to earn more money.

The ox-cart chattered on the way back to the village. The sky was already pitch black, and it was as if there was a layer of black cloth covering it; not even a speck of stars could be seen. It was also thanks to Uncle Fu's experience that he was able to travel safely at night with lanterns in his car.

When they were almost to the entrance of the house, Mei Seven saw a tall figure leaning against the door frame from far away. Even if they could not see clearly, Mei Seven could still tell that it was a rock.

Why was he still standing here at this late hour?

Before he could reach home, Mei Qi Hua jumped down from the oxcart and ran towards him. "Shi biao, what are you doing here? Is there anything else to eat at home? "

"Are you tired?" Rock did not know why, but when he woke up, he did not see Mei Qi Duo's figure. He felt empty and uncomfortable staying at home.

Mei Xiaolan seemed to notice his discomfort and told him that Qi Duo had gone into the city and would be back in the evening.

Thus, on this day, besides eating and resting, he would stand at the door to see when she would return.

"I'm not tired. I'll go see my mother." She felt a bit uncomfortable as she saw the concern in his eyes. She turned and went into the yard.

Hearing her voice, Mei Xiaolan also came out wiping her hands. "You're back. I'm warming the dish. There's still some rabbit meat and wild vegetables left yesterday. I told Uncle Fu and the others to come in. They've worked hard today."

"Alright." Mei Qi Hua happily agreed, and then ran out of the yard like a gust of wind. She greeted Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, "Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, my mother made some food, and left you guys to eat here. It's so late, you must all be hungry, there's not enough time to go back and do it. "

Aunt Fu and Uncle Fu were helping Mei Qitong carry the food and cloth out of the car. Hearing her call them, they nodded and didn't refuse.

In the past, he had helped them quite a bit, so Aunt Fu knew that they were feeling bad. Now that they finally had the chance, they could only thank him, so they didn't act polite.

Just as Mei Qi Hua was about to pick up the cornmeal, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and caught the object in her hand.

When she turned around, she saw Stone with one arm full of pasta and the other ready to pick up the cloth next to her.

Thinking of his injuries, Mei Qi Hua subconsciously held the clothes in her hands tighter. She looked at him with worry and asked, "Can you?"

Stone knew what she was asking and nodded without saying anything.

Only then did Mei Qi Duo relax, carrying the cloth and carrying the oil salt, and followed Aunt Fu into the yard, with Shitou silently following behind her.

It wasn't until they had finished their meal and had sent off Uncle Fu, that Mei Qi Hua saw that Mei Xiaolan was washing the dishes. She then pulled on Shi Mu's sleeve and went into the room.

There was only one bed in the room. She pointed.

Stone knew that she was going to apply medicine on him, so he untied his clothes and revealed his back. He then laid on top of her.

She found a clean cloth, dipped it in hot water, and gently cleaned the wound. Then she gently tore off the herbs that were already stuck to the wound along with the blood, and applied some of the herbs that had been mashed down earlier on.

The stone wound was still very frightening, but fortunately, it had stopped bleeding long ago, and the slight inflammation from before was also improving. As long as he took good care of her now, she should be able to scab him in a few days. Once the scab was formed, his wounds would heal faster. This way, when he needed to grow more food, he would be able to help.
