Seeing that his daughter had come up with another money-making idea, Murong Zhe felt even more guilty. He couldn't bring himself to refuse her.
Considering her thoughtful consideration for the family, he shouldn't be a hindrance.
Since they were still in the village, he readily agreed.
Murong Lingran quietly took three pounds of meat from her space and happily ran to the cook at home.
The cook, knowing her intention, excitedly said that it should be possible to buy it but needed to inquire with the officials specifically. He could give her an answer tomorrow.
After all, the prosperity of the Murong family meant the prosperity of the entire Lihua Village, and the cook was more than willing to help her.
Murong Lingran had no choice but to go back first.
The next day, Murong Lingran sat in a carriage, feeling a cold wind blow. She involuntarily shivered and quickly closed the carriage door.
No one expected that after yesterday's good weather, today's temperature would suddenly drop sharply. Some people who were afraid of the cold even put on their cotton coats.
All the clothes they bought last time were for summer and autumn, and they had been busy selling vegetables, not having time to prepare winter clothes.
Although Ninth Young Master had given her a lot of winter clothes, her father and brothers hadn't received theirs yet.
Despite having plenty of ready-made cloth at home and having made several outer garments recently, they worked in the fields every day and often got covered in mud.
The fabrics were too precious to be wasted when dirtied, so they temporarily kept them aside until they weren't busy or for special occasions.
Leaving three people at home, Murong Lingran and her eldest brother, carrying the measured sizes, entered the city and headed straight to the ready-made clothes store.
The family had some savings now, and the clothes brought back from the border were all torn.
Since they were doing business now, those clothes were no longer suitable. Therefore, Murong Lingran bought four or five comfortable and decent sets of cotton clothes for each person.
Of course, the three younger brothers and their mother were included.
The two of them put all the clothes on the carriage. Just as Murong Lingran was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly remembered something and had to go back to the ready-made clothes store. When she came out, she was carrying two additional packages.
A few days ago, she received a message from He Wenyi, also known as Grandpa He, delivered by someone. According to the message, the furniture made according to her drawings had sold well for a while, but it seemed that people were getting tired of them.
While they were still selling, the business was noticeably not as good as before. He asked her to find some time to bring him new drawings.
After handing over the persimmons and healing soup to her mother, Xiao Man'an, the two siblings went straight to He Wenyi's courtyard.
Just as they knocked on the door, Shitou quickly opened it, and upon seeing Murong Lingran, he greeted them, "Sister Lingran, Brother Zong, you're here."
The four children who begged together also happily greeted them, "Sister Lingran, Brother Zong."
Murong Lingran smiled and said, "Yes, we're here." She handed over the snacks and fruits she had prepared for them.
Murong Zong led the carriage into the yard and then closed the door.
As He Wenyi had been doing well in business recently, sometimes he was too busy to even cook. Shitou was also too busy to go back to their small courtyard. They even slept here instead of their own place.
To prevent the children from being bullied and since He Wenyi needed someone to cook, with his increased income, it was effortless for him to support these semi-grown children. So, he brought all of them here.
