Chapter 9： cut clothes (1/2)
''Xiu'er, is Xiu'er at home?'' Someone knocked on the door and shouted.
Pei Xiu put down her dirty clothes and went to open the door. Outside the door, a woman in her early thirties, carrying a basket, was the mother-in-law's sister-in-law who came to the door.
''What's the matter, Xiu'er, I heard someone in the village say that you broke your head. Have you seen the doctor? When your elder brother heard about it, he quickly called me over to take a look. ’’ The elder sister-in-law’s surname is Yang, her name is Yang Tao, and her parents’ family is from the nearby Dali Village. The elder sister-in-law came in with a basket and said while walking, reaching out and rubbing her head.
''It's fine, I just had a fever in those days, I fell dizzy and didn't pay attention. I saw the doctor and it was all right. Just wait for it to scab over. '' Pei Xiu glanced over her head unnaturally, she didn't like strangers touching her head.
The original sister-in-law is a good eldest sister-in-law who protects her calf. She never treated her harshly in the years before she got married, nor did she despise her for not being able to marry and eat at home for nothing. If you hear gossip outside, you will stand up and spit at others, which is the most protective of shortness. She also respects her sister-in-law very much, and will go back to discuss with her about anything at home.
''There is nothing good at home, you should keep this basket of eggs to nourish your body. '' Sister-in-law pulled Pei Xiu and whispered again: ''Why do you call Zhou Cheng to wash pig intestines, why did you buy that stinky one? ''
''He's okay, I'm all injured, he has to help me with some work to share. This pork intestine is well cooked, it is better than meat.”
Sister-in-law is skeptical.
''Since sister-in-law is here, let's save it for dinner. I have something to ask you. '' Pei Xiu took her sister-in-law into the room and showed her the cloth she bought, but she was worried about what to do with the clothes.
''How did you buy the cloth for this old nose and the cotton? How much did it cost? You usually live a good life. '' Sister-in-law looked at the pile of cloth and touched it, took apart the cotton bag and looked at it, and asked in surprise.
''It's not autumn, it's going to be cat winter soon. After saving for so many years, the family doesn't even have any decent clothes or quilts. It is better to spend this unjust money than to wear warm clothes and eat well. I fell ill for a while, but I think about it, no matter how important money is, it is not as important as my health. '' Pei Xiu said with emotion, if the original body was not too bad, he would not have had a fever and tossed himself away. It's not her turn to come.
''Then how many clothes are you planning to make? You have bought too many. ''
''Not much, think about it, sister-in-law. There are five in my family, and now there are six. One person and two wear autumn clothes and two winter clothes. We will make two more quilts and two quilt covers. It's almost there, I still think Use white cotton cloth to make two more undershirts, and make two pairs of shorts for the children and Zhou Cheng. These cloths are not necessarily enough. ''
Sister-in-law was speechless, this little sister-in-law either doesn't do it, and will give you a big move as soon as she does. And why is there another mouthful of people, ''You have a body again? ''
Pei Xiu blushed embarrassedly,'' What did my sister-in-law say, there is now a child in the family, the child of Zhou Cheng's saviour, and the family is in trouble, so he will live with us in the future. '' Pei Xiu threw the blame on Zhou Cheng without any burden, and he admitted it anyway.
