Shen Lianxin was not angry either. "In this village, the stitching of your Dashan's clothes is the best. I trust your craftsmanship the most. What do you think is a suitable wage?"

Aunt Zhang felt comfortable with the flattery and curled her lips, "You have good taste! Well, I don't know your family's situation. You are a neighbor. How much do you want to pay for making clothes? The work in the fields is not busy now. It's not the autumn harvest yet. I have all the time."

"You can't say that. These two pieces of cloth are a lot. It will take a lot of effort to make clothes." Shen Lianxin had never made clothes before, so she really didn't know how much effort it would take to make them.

"How many sets do you want to make? How to make them for the children?" Aunt Zhang asked seriously.

"I will make two sets for myself, and two sets for each of the children. Do you think this cloth is enough?" When she was buying the cloth, the clerk told her that one piece of cloth could make four sets for an adult, and more for children, so she thought it should be enough.

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "There is enough cloth, so just wait. It will take me some time to make these clothes. I'll send them to you when they're done." Aunt Zhang glanced at the new clothes on Shen Lianxin and Gu Chengxin, thinking that there was no rush to wear them.

Shen Lianxin pondered in her mind, this Mr. Huang could make at most 12 copper coins for a round trip driving the cart, sometimes 4 to 6. If we calculate it as 10 copper coins a day, and it takes one day to make one set of clothes, a total of 10 sets for adults and children, for ten days, that would be 100 copper coins.

Thinking about it, he took out 100 copper coins from his pocket, which was actually a space, and handed them over, "These are wages, you keep them."

Shen Lianxin didn't know if this was right or not. But looking at Aunt Zhang's exaggerated expression, it should not be too little.

"Oh, you bastard, you're giving me so much for making a few sets of clothes. You won't stop until the family is ruined. I said I don't want any money, take it back now." Although Aunt Zhang's eyes were shining, she still pushed it back.

Shen Lianxin smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, it makes no sense for me to hire you to work without paying you. I will charge you based on one set of clothing per day, 10 copper coins per day, a total of 100, you can count them."

"It doesn't take a whole day to make clothes for a kid. I can make two or three sets a day. Besides, your price of 10 copper coins a day is too high."

Shen Lianxin stuffed the money directly into Aunt Zhang's hand, "It's not a lot, it's not a lot, making clothes is the most eye-consuming, it's a tiring job, and you've taken care of my children in the past, you should take this money."

Shen Lianxin didn't want to keep dragging it out, so she left the money and turned around.

When Aunt Zhang returned to the house, Zhang Lianfu saw her holding the cloth and asked, "Where did you get it from?"

"The girl next door named Lianxin doesn't know how to sew clothes, so she said I'm good at sewing and asked me to sew for her." Aunt Zhang was very happy. "Boss, do you think Lianxin has changed? She seems different."

Zhang Lianfu curled his lips, "What can a drunkard become? You are so kind. You can't even have enough food at home, but you still want to help her. Now you ask you to make clothes for her. You really can't get enough of taking advantage of her."

Aunt Zhang was not happy, and slammed 100 copper coins on the table, "Look what this is? Ren Lianxin didn't take advantage of me, this is my wages."

Zhang Lianfu's eyes widened, and he smacked his lips. "Why did you give so much? Was it really given by her?"

Aunt Zhang was annoyed. "Needless to say, I've already told you that Lianxin has a hard life. She wasn't like this before. She's just sad because her family member died early. We used to be close friends. Look, she thinks of me when she has something good to offer. She must be different now. She didn't scold me the two times I scolded her."

Aunt Zhang proudly put away the copper coins one by one, and even counted them, there were 100 of them. She thought to herself, I have to do a good job for Lian Xin, even if I don't get paid. Since I got so much, I have to be more dedicated.

After a long silence, Gu Chengxin finally couldn't help asking, "Mom, Aunt Zhang treats us well, but is it 100 Wen?"

Shen Lianxin patted his shoulder and asked, "Do you think mother gave you too much?"

Gu Chengxin nodded.

"Think of it this way. The price of a ready-made garment is 200 wen. This piece of cloth is 500 wen, which can make 4 sets of adult clothes. Buying ready-made clothes is 800 wen. Children's clothes are between 150 and 200 wen. These 10 sets of clothes will cost nearly 2000 wen. And the remaining cloth is ours. Mother can make a lot more clothes with 100 wen for the labor. There is also cloth left. The most important thing is that Aunt Zhang has helped us. This cannot be calculated with money."

Gu Chengxin pondered for a while, "Mom, I understand. Compared to ourselves, we still make money, and Aunt Zhang's favor is priceless."

This young man is teachable! Shen Lianxin nodded with satisfaction.

"Mom, your backpack?"

Shen Lianxin knew what he wanted to ask. Those children were young, but Gu Chengxin was already 8 years old, and the backpack was so small, and he kept taking things out. How could he not be suspicious? The backpack could not even hold the two big quilts. Gu Chengjing should have been suspicious too, but he was too young to think much about it.

Shen Lianxin squatted down and looked at Gu Chengxin, "Daxin, actually when I woke up from being drunk, I met an old immortal. The old immortal gave me a special skill, which is to have a storage space that no one else can see. I can put things in and take them out, without having to carry them myself. Do you understand?"

Shen Lianxin felt that her story was not very good, but she had no choice but to continue.

Gu Chengxin's eyes sparkled, "Mom, why would the old immortal help you?"

Uh? Isn't the point whether this is true or not? How can I think of why the old immortal wants to help her?

Shen Lianxin cleared her throat and continued to make up stories, "Well, the old immortal said that he met your father, and it was your father who saw that we were not doing well and asked the old immortal for help."

"Dad? Even after Dad passed away, he still cares about us." Gu Chengxin lowered his head, obviously feeling sad when thinking about his deceased father.

Shen Lianxin stroked her forehead and continued, "Mom was not a good person before. She always drank and beat and scolded you, but the old immortal woke me up, and I will never do that again. Also, don't tell anyone about this, otherwise the old immortal will be angry and will no longer help us, understand?"

When Gu Chengxin heard Shen Lianxin say this, it all made sense that his mother had changed so much recently. His mother told him such an important thing, which showed how much trust she had in him. Gu Chengxin nodded seriously, "Mom, I won't tell anyone."

Shen Lianxin didn't expect that the children in this world were so easy to deceive. She couldn't help laughing in her heart and touched his head. "Well, this is our secret, and mother needs your help. When someone suspects, you have to help mother cover up, okay?"

Gu Chengxin's eyes lit up even more. "Yes, mother, besides this magical space, did the old immortal give you any other abilities?"

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows, "Hmm?"

"For example, was reading and writing also taught by the old immortal?"

Shen Lianxin quickly made a silent gesture and nodded at him mysteriously, "Don't tell anyone!"

Anyway, just blame everything on the old immortal.

Gu Chengxin quickly covered his mouth and nodded vigorously.

This is his mother's trust in him, and also the benefit given to their family by the old immortal. He can't mess everything up just by talking nonsense.
