“We farmers are poor. If our clothes or shoes are torn, we’ll patch them up and wear them as usual. These rags can be used as patches. Shopkeeper, can you sell them to me for two to three copper coins?” Ye Qingyu asked again.

“You don’t have to pay. I’ll give you some rags.” The shopkeeper was very generous. He turned around and went to the back, coming out with a cloth bag.

Ye Qingyu took the cloth bag and grabbed a few handfuls. Looking at the colorful cloth made of various materials, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Shopkeeper, thank you so much! These rags you gave me are much bigger than I thought. I took advantage of you today.”

“To me, it’s just some useless things. You don’t have to be polite. Take it.” The shopkeeper liked Ye Qingyu’s calmness and waved his hand with a smile.

Ye Qingyu bought some more threads and thanked the shopkeeper again and again. Then, she took the cloth and a cloth bag and left with a smile.

“Big sister, are you really using these to make patches?” After leaving the embroidery workshop, Ye Qingshu couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“It’s a secret for the time being.” Ye Qingyu smiled and winked at him mysteriously, revealing her mischievousness.

Ye Qingshu was speechless and wanted to laugh.

His big sister’s change was really delightful.

Then, the two of them went to the pastry shop and spent 15 copper coins to buy some pastries.

After buying these, they did not continue shopping and returned to the tea shop.

“You’re finally back.” Ye Dahe heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them. He quickly stood up to welcome them and took the things from Ye Qingshu.

“What’s in this bag? It’s quite heavy.”

“It’s a bag of rags. When I bought the cloth, the shopkeeper was kind and generous enough to give them to me directly for free,” Ye Qingyu said with a smile.

“That shopkeeper is such a good person!” Ye Dahe praised without looking at what the cloth looked like. Even if it was a pile of small pieces of cloth, they would be the ones who took advantage of it when they went back and stuffed them into the corners of the table. Therefore, he also praised the shopkeeper.

Ye Qingyu nodded and picked up two more wrapped cloths. She said to her second uncle,

“This piece of cloth is for Big Brother Xu to thank him for his help. I bought a bit more. If there’s anything left, I’ll make clothes for Xiaobao.

This cloth is for my second aunt. Second uncle, take a look. Does my second aunt like this color?”

When Ye Dahe heard that his eldest niece was thinking about his wife and son, his heart warmed. He smiled and did not refuse.

“Qingyu, thank you. I’ll thank you on behalf of your second aunt. She’ll definitely like this color.”

Ye Dahe felt guilty towards his wife. In the past two years, his father had to take medicine and his eldest niece had to treat her face. The difficulties at home made his wife suffer a lot. She worked hard every day and did not have enough to eat.

There were even a few times when the family really had no choice but to let her go back to her maiden home to borrow food and money, causing her to be scolded by her brother and sister-in-law.

Every time his wife returned from her maiden home, she would silently wipe her tears at night but she did not complain. He also felt very bad and could only feel more sorry for her. Every time, he would tell her to endure it for another two years and her life would be better.

But every time he said this, he was very uncertain and guilty.

However, now that he looked at his eldest niece, who had been different since she jumped into the river, and thought that his father’s illness could be cured, Ye Dahe had a faint feeling that their family would really get better and better in the future.
