secretly tugged at Cai Wei’s sleeve, whispering, “Wei’er, don’t be silly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we don’t buy coarse cloth, are we going to buy fine cotton cloth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a matter of course, Cai Wei said, “Of course we’re buying fine cotton cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coarse cloth is rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My younger brothers and sisters are young, their skin is delicate, and wearing coarse cloth will harm their skin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Du pinched the purse in her bosom, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She agreed with Cai Wei’s view and also wanted her children to wear the soft fine cotton cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the price of a foot of fine cotton cloth could buy three feet of coarse cloth, which was more durable and tough to wear out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei saw through Lady Du’s thoughts, feeling a bit sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother’s hesitation was due to their poverty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could someone who had just been on the verge of life and death from starvation be willing to spend a lot of silver to buy luxurious fine cotton cloth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, her mother would love to split a copper coin in half to spend it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her gaze, and then laughed, saying, “Mother, rest assured and just buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although our family only has ten taels of silver now, we will have one hundred taels, one thousand taels, even ten thousand taels in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, you will not be able to count how many we have…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was calm and determined, as if she was speaking the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lady Du burst into laughter, saying, “You child, always teasing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dare not dream of having one hundred, one thousand or ten thousand taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I have these ten taels, to keep my children from starving, I’d already be thankful to Amitabha Buddha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, let’s do as you say this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, she thought that her daughter was just humoring her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not having to go hungry was a blessing in itself, let alone dreaming of more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even knowing that her daughter was just cheering her up, her heart felt a little comforted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encouraged by her daughter, Lady Du steeled herself and bought each member of their family a piece of fine cotton cloth, plus four or five catties of top-quality cotton, and some silk threads, soles for shoes and other bits and bobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shopping, they ended up with two large bundles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the mother and daughter away, the shop assistant weighed the silver in his hand, with a broad grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old shopkeeper, holding a teapot, sauntered out from the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the retreating figures of the mother and daughter, stroking his white beard in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop assistant chuckled, shaking the silver in his hand, saying, “Old shopkeeper, who would have thought that those two poor country bumpkins would be so lucrative?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, they spent over a tael of silver without blinking an eye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old shopkeeper smacked the assistant on the head, sneering, “You silly boy, didn’t I tell you not to underestimate people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, even though that woman and her daughter seem destitute now, that girl has the true destiny of a phoenix and will be incredibly noble in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that woman, she’ll become a first-class madam someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You, boy, aren’t even fit to carry their shoes, and yet you dare to make fun of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop assistant pouted, laughing, “Old shopkeeper, are you pretending to be a magician again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old shopkeeper took a sip of tea with a “sip” sound, and said leisurely, “If you don’t believe me, that doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, you’ll meet them again in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, you’ll know how awesome I am!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming out of the cloth store, Cai Wei and Lady Du were each carrying a large bundle, and yet they were still strolling around the street with great interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They occasionally bought some small items like bits and bobs, cooking essentials, and when they passed a clean, small restaurant, Cai Wei suggested to go in and eat something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been busy with the wild boar since morning and hadn’t eaten anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stomach had been growling for a while already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Du initially wanted to buy some steamed buns from the roadside stalls as they were both tasty and saved money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking of her daughter, who almost starved to death yesterday and brought home a windfall today in the form of a wild boar, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pinched her purse, steeled her heart, and took her daughter into the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>",779,"2026-06-03T13:14:27.010Z","2026-06-03T13:14:31.113Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f0151d301065695afabdf5b6a61723b175c3555480c0e05dd68162f94b2ee9c","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-15","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-13",2136,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-cover.jpg"]
