The more she looked at the fabric. the more she liked it. “Xiao Familv’s wife. I heard from the Old Lady of Zhu Family that your handicraft is poor. But the workmanship on this outfit of yours is good; you couldn’t have made it. Did Chuan help you make it? I heard that among the Xiao Family’s men, only

Chuan knows embroidery, and he does it quite well.”

“No,” she said, “This is a ready-made outfit. Third Brother did help me make clothes, but he’s been sick and resting these past few days, so the clothes he was making are left unfinished.” It was like that in poor villages – buying a new outfit could make people envious.

However, she also felt good wearing new clothes, especially since her previous attire was like a beggar’s.

“So apart from this new outfit, Chuan has also helped you make clothes…” Ding Er’s wife was envious after hearing this, “I haven’t had new clothes for a long time. Your husband is better, willing to buy for you…”

Qingyue smiled.

Wang Cuihua clarified, “Qingyue bought it with the money she earned herself…”

“That’s true, these days, you can’t rely on men – even pigs can climb trees.” Ding Er’s wife touched the fabric of Qingyue’s clothes, “How much did this ready-made outfit cost you?”

“One tael of silver.”

“If you made it yourself with coarse cloth, you could have bought three outfits…” Ding Er’s wife exclaimed, “What a waste…”

“It’s rare to buy a nice outfit, there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself.” Wang Cuihua pulled Qingyue over, “Come, wash clothes by my side.”

“It’s just a new outfit, what’s so great about that?” Liu Xiaohong came over with a wooden basin to wash her clothes, “The Xiao family is so poor, they can barely afford to eat. Su Qingyue has the nerve to buy herself new clothes, and she doesn’t care about the lives of the Xiao Family’s men.”

“What are you talking about, Liu Xiaohong!” Wang Cuihua put her hands on her hips.

“Did I say anything wrong?” Liu Xiaohong raised her voice, “She wastes the little money she earns instead of saving it. What kind of person can live like that!”

“Well, if you’re so good at living, why don’t I see you earning ten or eight taels for your family?” Wang Cuihua retorted, “If Qingyue really doesn’t care about the lives of the Xiao Family’s men, they would have starved to death long ago!”

Liu Xiaohong’s face turned red with anger, unable to counter a word. She could only angrily find a spot to dump out her dirty clothes and start washing.

“Don’t mind her.” Su Qingyue glanced at Liu Xiaohong and sneered, “For someone who’s just jealous and sour, they can sour to death but still won’t be able to buy a new outfit.”

“Who are you calling sour!” Liu Xiaohong was furious.

“You!” Su Qingyue replied directly, “What, you wanna fight?”

Liu Xiaohong thought of Zheng Liu-shi still lying on the bed and Wang Cuihua siding with Su Qingyue, so she didn’t dare to start a fight, “A family so poor that they don’t even have half an acre of farmland, and a rundown house…only some sort of Ghost would be jealous of you.”

She scooped water from the river into the basin with force, picking up a wooden stick to beat the clothes, cursing under her breath, “Beat your base little head till you can’t breathe. Beat your little hands till they break and your fingers snap…”

My goodness! Su Qingyue watched her ‘beat the base person’ professionally, treating the clothes as if they were her.

The other village women nearby couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Wang Cuihua was furious, “Liu Xiaohong, what are you doing?”

“Beating the base person.” Liu Xiaohong snorted, “There are so many base persons in the village, can’t I beat them?”

“You’re saying Qingyue is the base person…” Wang Cuihua realized she had misspoken and quickly shut her mouth.

Liu Xiaohong was sharp-tongued, “Wow, everyone heard that. Wang Cuihua said Su Qingyue is the base person, not me..”
