Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 67 The Inhumanly Extravagant Water Bucket Spirit

Luo Ning quickly learned the reason for Yang Caiying's worried expression earlier.

Her family arranged a marriage for her with a worker from Jianggang Steel. He was over 30 years old and his wife had died. Her father insisted that she marry him.

Good heavens!

People in this era are so obsessed with the idea of ​​a secure job that even a team of miracle doctors couldn't save them.

She was influenced by later cultural trends and had no interest in a secure job, but she didn't say it.

Luo Ning and his companion arrived at the cotton mill and found the woman from before.

"Girl, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for days!" The woman was still as enthusiastic as ever, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Luo Ning's heart skipped a beat, sensing that things might not go smoothly today.

"There are two sacks this time, do you want them both?" the woman asked bluntly, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes.

Luo Ning, who had successfully captured the money, nodded and handed over two yuan.

Although I could foresee it, I still felt a strong urge to test the waters; that's just how much I love to test things out!

The woman's smile vanished instantly, her expression changing faster than flipping through a book. "Girl, these scraps of cloth weren't easy to collect; this little bit of money isn't enough!"

Yang Caiying was so angry that she exploded on the spot, "Aunt Zhang, you usually only get 50 cents for it when you sell it as scrap, but you still complain that it's not enough when my sister gave you a dollar. Don't be so greedy!"

This girl speaks the truth. Luo Ning smiled inwardly. She had tried to test the waters at the edge of affordability, but it seemed to have failed.

Enraged, Aunt Zhang threw the cloth scraps on the ground. "Five yuan a bag, take it or leave it!"

"Sister, let's go!" Yang Caiying sneered. This woman has gone mad, asking for exorbitant prices. Only a fool would want her things!

Luo Ning weakly raised his paw, "I might be the idiot!"

This Aunt Zhang was even greedier than she had imagined, and a very good actress...

It was quite an achievement that I managed to slip away from her, this real drama queen, last time.

Even after deducting costs, she can still make a considerable profit, and these scraps of fabric are very pretty and perfect for making hair accessories.

She didn't have time to find the fabric scraps; her little cousin was still waiting for her anxiously at the bookstore.

Luo Ning pulled out a handful of small bills and handed them to Aunt Zhang.

"This girl is so sensible. Yingzi, you should learn from her!" Aunt Zhang counted the small bills with saliva on her lips, her face full of undisguised pride.

Yang Caiying glared at Aunt Zhang resentfully before helping Luo Ning carry the sack.

As the two left the cotton mill and stood on the road waiting for a car, Yang Caiying was still angry.

"Sister, Aunt Zhang is clearly overcharging, why are you still paying?"

"Yingzi, the hair accessory I gave you was made from these scraps of fabric. I need those scraps of fabric to run my hair accessory business. But I'll only fall for this once! I won't come back again!"

Luo Ning spoke frankly, saying that besides this cotton mill, there were two other cotton mills and three large markets in the city, and she could always get scraps of cloth from them.

"I see!" Yang Caiying nodded, somewhat reluctant to part. "Sister, does that mean I won't be able to see you again?"

"Silly girl, you can come find me if you have time. I live in Qing'an Village, Ji'an Town, Xinji County!" Luo Ning said with a smile. However, she was only trying to comfort Yang Caiying. How could a grown woman like her possibly run around everywhere?

They're not like Luo Jing, who can't stay at home.

"Great! Great!" Yang Caiying clapped her hands and laughed, saying she would definitely visit her sister when she had the chance.

Soon the bus arrived, and Luo Ning boarded it carrying two large sacks, almost exhausting herself, amidst Yang Caiying's reluctant gaze.

If Yang Caiying weren't around, she could just grab the sack and find a secluded corner to store it in her spatial storage.

This is the consequence of not being able to refuse—it's awful!

Luo Ning only rode for one stop before getting off; her two large sacks were taking up too much space.

However, the passengers were all kind and honest, and she didn't receive any disdain. Some even watched over the scraps of cloth for her, afraid that they might spill.

If this were in later generations, her feat would likely have drawn a lot of unfriendly stares.

After getting off the bus, Luo Ning found a place to collect all the scraps of cloth.

I feel so comfortable all over, it's wonderful to feel so light.

Luo Ning found a shop and went to buy things with great excitement.

If you earn money but don't spend it, you lose the meaning and enjoyment of earning it.

Luo Ning went to the cosmetics counter first and bought six sets of cosmetics in one go, which was incredibly extravagant!

The sales clerk couldn't stand it anymore. This girl was really bad at managing her money. She had to give her a good talking-to. "Sir, one set is enough for you to use for a long time. These cosmetics all have an expiration date. You can just come back and buy more when you've used them up!"

Gee!

Luo Ning secretly gave a thumbs up to the kind saleswoman!

"Auntie, thank you for reminding me, but I bought these as gifts!"

The saleswoman's expression immediately softened; she realized she had misunderstood the girl. "Oh, is that so? Then I'll wrap it up for you!"

Luo Ning quickly paid the money, picked up the cosmetics, and headed straight for the cotton counter. Her parents' cotton-padded coats were old and worn out and needed to be replaced.

The moment she saw her parents, she knew she had to do this.

Luo Ning stood in front of the counter, somewhat perplexed.

She has done many things in her past and present lives, but she has never made a cotton-padded jacket, and she doesn't know how much cotton she should buy.

The saleswoman behind the counter, seeing her standing there silently for so long, looking troubled and dressed in such shabby clothes, knew she was a poor peasant. She curled her lip in disdain and said, "If you're not buying, stand over there and don't delay other people from buying things!"

Damn it! What kind of attitude is that? Luo Ning turned and left.

The sales clerk at the opposite counter glanced at Luo Ning's slanted eyes and greeted him warmly, "Comrade, what would you like to buy?"

Luo Ning turned her head and was surprised to find that there was also cotton in her counter. She immediately smiled and said, "Big sister, I want to buy some cotton, but I don't know how much I should buy!"

The saleswoman suddenly understood, "Tell me who you want it for, and tell me their height and weight, and I can help you estimate how much you need!"

“Okay!” Luo Ning rattled off a long list of names, including her parents and her mother’s family, all of whom she planned to do together.

Her two uncles helped her renovate the house, so she had to show her appreciation.

However, she didn't make it for Liu Chunsheng; he had other plans.

Xie Chang'an was naturally involved in such a good thing.

She accepts the current unattainable situation and subconsciously wants to treat Xie Chang'an well; relationships need nurturing.

If her relationship with Xie Chang'an had a hundred steps, she would be willing to take ninety-nine of them.

Xie Chang'an only needs to take one step to respond to her and show her his love through his actions.

The one who falls in love first always suffers more! She wasn't afraid of hardship; she was afraid of not being able to warm Xie Chang'an's icy heart!

The army would issue military overcoats, so cotton-padded jackets were of little use. Luo Ning planned to make something else for Xie Chang'an.

As for Luo Jing, she was wearing new, altered clothes, so there was no need to make any changes for the time being.

Even if she moved the store back, Luo Jing would still feel it wasn't enough, and would complain that she hadn't moved one for her grandmother, one for Jian Yin, and one for Luo Juan!

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

Honestly, the cotton-padded jackets these days are a bit ugly.

The cotton-padded coat she was wearing was too big and bulky. She was already fat, and with the coat on, she looked like a barrel.

Fortunately, the original owner's height was decent; although slightly shorter than hers, she was still 170cm.

But the more robust he is, the more muscular and strong he appears!

Actually, she doesn't even need to lift a finger in a fight; she can take down a whole bunch of people just by throwing herself at them.

The saleswoman's eyes lit up; this was a big customer! She quickly calculated the answer for Luo Ning.

When the sales clerk weighed the cotton for Luo Ning, she smiled and took the money from Luo Ning.

The woman with the slanted eyes across the way was filled with regret. If she had known that country bumpkin was so rich, she would have been more enthusiastic.

After buying cotton, Luo Ning also bought some cloth with the help of the salesperson, and left carrying large and small bags, looking like a camel.

Luo Ning went to the bookstore to pick up her little cousin who had been stored there, took the bus home, and kept comforting her little cousin who wanted to walk back. Little did she know that her words were heard by a pair of ears to her right.
