Fortunately, the people in front quickly figured things out, and the ox cart started moving again.

Shen Rong slept for a while and couldn't fall asleep again.

By the time the ox cart entered the county town gate, it was almost noon.

"Where are you going, Sixth Grandma? I'll take you there first, and then we'll go to South Street to eat together."

"Just go ahead. I'll remind you when we get there." Sixth Grandma looked at the shops on both sides of the main road.

Shen Rong had been here once, and she remembered that the money shop seemed to be on the main road ahead.

Sure enough, after a while, Shen Rong saw a red flag hanging in front of a shop with the two big words "Money House" written on it.

"Brother, just stop in front of the shop with the red flag." Shen Rong pointed ahead.

When the oxcart stopped, Grandma Liu took Changsheng down from the oxcart. "You guys wait here for a while."

"Hey! Sixth Grandma, we'll be waiting beside the gate." Shen Chun pulled the reins and drove the ox cart to the side of the gate to avoid blocking others from entering and exiting.

Shen Rong did not follow in, but just asked Changsheng to go in and not say anything.

She thought that her grandmother probably brought all the family's savings with her. If Changsheng followed her in, if he didn't say anything, he could still intimidate people just by standing there, but if he opened his mouth, it would have no deterrent effect on people.

Changsheng quickly agreed.

"You come in with us!" Sixth Grandma glanced at Shen Rong.

Shen Rong didn't expect her grandmother to call her. She thought that if her grandmother didn't call her in, she wouldn't go in.

"Hey!"

The three men escorted grandma into the money house, and when they came out, the bag that Sixth Grandma had just held had deflated.

Shen Rong's brothers and sisters-in-law were secretly surprised when they saw this.

This old man was really calm. He took such a big bag of silver without making a sound along the way.

Of course, with Sixth Grandma’s wealth, if it were all silver ingots, one bundle would definitely not be able to hold them all, as there were also several large-denomination silver bills in it.

Shen Rong was not surprised when she saw the silver and banknotes that Sixth Grandma took out.

She knew that Sixth Grandpa had sold the ginseng that she had taken out before and earned a lot of silver. Adding the savings of the two old people, this time Sixth Grandma actually saved a total of 1,600 taels of silver.

Shen Rong didn't have that much silver in her hand, but she had nearly five hundred taels, not including the money she had used to buy land and lend to her parents' home.

Thinking about it this way, she and Changsheng really are not short of money.

Of course, this only applies to the two civilians.

Shen Rong helped her grandmother onto the ox cart. As soon as she sat down, her two sisters-in-law looked at her with envy.

Li Fenglian didn't expect that her sister-in-law's in-laws were so wealthy.

When they came just now, as soon as Sixth Grandma got on the ox cart, she handed the bag to Changsheng. She thought it was not something important.

Just now, she and Ma Xiuxiu watched Sixth Grandma carrying a bundle into the money shop and were a little surprised.

Now that she saw that Sixth Grandma's bag had deflated, what else was there for her to understand?

All the money is put into love!

That would require a lot of silver!

However, no matter how envious they were, they were outside at the moment, surrounded by many people and no one was so ignorant as to ask about Shen Rong's money.

"Let's go! Let's go eat first!" Shen Chunsheng and three others got on the ox cart and shook the reins in their hands.

The few of them were familiar with the street where they had eaten last time.

Just like last time, everyone bought some snacks from the nearby stalls and tried them all.

After eating the cooked meat from a family, Ma Xiuxiu suddenly gained confidence in her cooking skills.

Changsheng and Shen Dongting were the happiest, and they got to eat a lot of snacks and desserts that they couldn't usually have.

After eating, Shen Chunsheng and his friends went to look for a shop.

Shen Rong didn't plan to run around the county town with her sisters-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, you guys take care of the shop, and I'll pay for it when the time comes."

The last time she came to the county, she didn't have time to buy a lot of things, so she planned to make up for it this time.

"Okay! Leave it to us. You, Sixth Grandma and Changsheng can take a good stroll around the county. We will meet at the city gate before 3 p.m., and then go back to the village together." Shen Chunsheng estimated the time it would take to get back.

The two groups of troops split into two groups.

"Grandma, let's go to the cloth shop. I haven't bought you clothes for a long time. This time I finally made the trip, so I'll buy some clothes for you and grandpa." Shen Rong said with a smile, holding Sixth Grandma's arm.

"Why spend that money? We already have clothes at home!" Sixth Grandma was used to being frugal and subconsciously declined, but the smile on her face betrayed her mood.

Seeing this, Shen Rong didn't understand anything and pulled her grandmother to the cloth shop.

Fortunately, the cloth shop is not far from the street where food is sold, and it is just around the corner.

Shen Rong was generous this time and did not buy fabric but bought ready-made clothes instead.

There are several types of ready-made clothes, including the simplest ones without embroidery, some with simple patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves, and some with more complex embroidery, with various flowers and birds embroidered on the hems.

The most expensive ready-made clothes have more novel styles and more exquisite workmanship. The flowers, grass, insects and fish embroidered on them are more exquisitely crafted, so the price is naturally more expensive.

This kind of clothes is not an option for farmers.

With the help of a shop assistant, Shen Rong picked out a light purple silk dress for her mother. The hem of the dress had a bunch of orchids embroidered on it. Shen Rong thought there was nothing wrong with the workmanship of the dress.

Then she picked out a dress with cloud patterns embroidered on the collars and sleeves for each of her two sisters-in-law.

As for father and brothers, Shen Rong directly selected the cloth and took it back to ask mother to make it.

It’s not that Shen Rong is reluctant to spend the money on buying ready-made clothes.

Dad and brothers often work in the fields at home, and they mostly wear shorts. The shorts sold in the shop were made of fabrics that Shen Rong looked down upon. The good fabrics were used to make long robes worn by scholars, and Dad and brothers couldn't afford to wear them, so they had to buy fabric and make them at home.

However, because Sixth Grandpa was a doctor, Shen Rong still picked a dark blue robe with ripples.

"Grandma, what do you think of this dress?" Shen Rong took a dark purple dress embroidered with patterns of happiness, wealth, longevity and joy and brought it to Sixth Grandma.

Although Sixth Grandma is old, she has fair skin. This purple color will definitely make her look more fair and elegant when she wears it.

Sixth Grandma looked at the dress critically and shook her head, "If you buy this kind of material, I will go back and make one myself."

Shen Rong finally understood that Sixth Grandma did not like the workmanship of the dress.

"Sir, this material is also available in our shop. I'll show it to you right away." The shop assistant immediately started rummaging around on the counter. After a while, he really took out a piece of dark purple material with a ruyi pattern and handed it to Sixth Grandma.

When Grandma Six saw the material, she nodded and said, "Then let's make it six feet long!"

This material is good, enough to make a top.

Finally, Shen Rong bought each of her nieces a beautiful pink dress.

As for her nephews, Shen Rong treated them all equally and prepared cloth for them all.

Shen Rong bought a lot of cloth, most of which was bought for her mother's family. Sixth Grandma never looked unhappy from beginning to end.

Shen Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but think of Liu.

In her previous life, if she dared to take a copper coin from her parents' home, Liu would definitely make a big fuss at home, let alone buy clothes for her parents' family like this.

However, in her previous life, she had never had money in her hands, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't do it.
