Chapter 16: New Clothes
Chapter 16: New Clothes
Song Miqiu never imagined that one day she would have money but dare not spend it!
But she quickly came up with another idea.
Cotton and cotton fabric on Taobao are not very expensive, and it's more comfortable for children to wear pure cotton.
So I bought some and put them in a box in the house, so that I could explain it if they asked later.
That afternoon, after finishing all the chores at home, Song Miqiu called Tian over directly.
"Mother, why did you call me here?"
Qiu Tianlei went out early this morning and hasn't returned yet, but now even when facing Song Miqiu alone, Tian Yumei is no longer as afraid as before.
Song Miqiu took her hand and led her into the house. "Yumei, do you know how to make new clothes?"
Although she didn't know why her mother-in-law asked that question, Tian Yumei still nodded.
"Yes, it will, but the stitching might not be very good."
"It's okay! As long as you know how to do it!"
Before Tian Yumei could understand what her mother-in-law meant, she saw Song Miqiu pour out a bundle of cloth and a large pile of new cotton from the box behind her!
She covered her mouth in surprise, "Mother! Where did you get so much stuff?"
“This is a long story. You know what kind of person your mother was back then, so it’s no wonder she accumulated some good things. Now that we’ve come to terms with everything, there’s no need to keep these things to ourselves.”
Tian Yumei was still somewhat confused, so Song Miqiu had to speak again.
“The weather has turned cooler these past few days, but the two children are dressed too lightly. We adults may be fine, but the children are likely to catch a cold. I called you here so you could help me make two new outfits for the children so they can get through the winter.”
Song Miqiu had already spoken very modestly, but she was also afraid of frightening her daughter-in-law.
Once she finds some more things to sell, she'll definitely prepare other new clothes for the children when winter comes!
Not only should the children have them, but each of them should also have several changes of clothes.
But it's best not to tell them these things now. Song Miqiu didn't know how to explain to them all at once why she was able to get so much cotton and cloth.
Tian Yumei didn't think too much about it and just nodded.
But deep down I'm actually very happy. These two children have suffered a lot, but now that my mother-in-law has come to terms with it, the two children can finally enjoy a better life!
Song Miqiu was genuinely worried about the child getting cold, so she and Tian Yumei worked overtime to rush out two sets of clothes.
Tian Yumei also gained a new understanding of her mother-in-law once again!
She previously said that her skills weren't very good, but that was actually a bit of modesty. Compared to most people, Tian Yumei's skills are already quite good.
But she never knew that her mother-in-law had such a skill!
Looking at the clothes that looked like they were made by a professional tailor, Tian Yumei suddenly felt that the clothes she made were not presentable.
"Mother, I never imagined your craftsmanship was so good. I'd say even the clothes in the ready-made clothing stores in the capital aren't any better than this!"
"Yu Mei has such a sweet tongue! I'll make you one when I have some free time!"
It's just making a set of clothes; they're idle all day anyway, so it's not a difficult task.
