Chapter 142 The Fool Changes into New Clothes
The fool who was originally standing behind Ning Wu was so frightened when he heard Jiang Yuwei's roar that he trembled all over. While Jiang Yuwei couldn't catch him, he ran from the backyard to the front yard and hid behind Ning Huaizhi.
Ning Huaizhi frowned and looked at the dirty fool, saying with disdain:
"Stay away from me, you're dirty."
After hearing this, the fool smiled and went straight forward to hug Ning Huaizhi. Jiang Yuwei chased from the backyard to the front yard and saw this scene. She was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged:
"You idiot, go take a shower now, you don't have to eat tonight!"
Ning Huaizhi was so shocked by the idiot that he showed his head and said helplessly:
"Wife, I'm going to take a shower too. Let Ning Zhao boil some hot water, and the three of us can take a shower together. Oh, by the way, it seems that the fool only has this set of clothes, so why don't you find another set of my clothes for him to change into."
Jiang Yuwei pinched her brows and nodded helplessly:
"Yes, the fool doesn't have any clean clothes yet. I bought some cloth from the last trip to town and made some clothes for you. I'll go into the house and make some clothes for him. You guys go get ready and take a shower first. Next time I go to town, I'll buy some more cloth to make you some cool clothes for summer."
As Jiang Yuwei said this, she went into the house to look for cloth. After rummaging through the cupboards, she finally found a piece of red flowered cloth left by Ning Wan and a piece of gray cloth left by Ning Huaizhi. Jiang Yuwei compared them and found that the two pieces of cloth looked a bit strange together. She could only make one into a top and the other into pants.
Jiang Yuwei thought that if there was less floral fabric, she could just make him a pair of cropped pants to wear. It was very hot in the summer anyway, and although it looked a bit inappropriate to wear it like this, it was cool. After all, he was just a fool and didn't know what was beautiful or ugly, so she could just make some casual pants for him.
Jiang Yuwei kept working while thinking this. Fortunately, Daya was there to help with cooking, so she could focus on doing something. Just when Ning Huaizhi came out of the shower with Ning Zhao and the fool, Jiang Yuwei had finished dressing.
"Ning Zhao, come in and take the clothes to the wing room for the idiot to put on."
Jiang Yuwei shouted outside the yard.
Ning Zhao ran into the house when he heard Jiang Yuwei calling him, took the clothes and ran to the side room:
"Here, wear it, my mother sewed it for you!"
Ning Zhao handed the clothes to the fool.
The fool took it, unfolded it and looked at it, frowning slightly:
"It's too ugly. I won't wear it."
Ning Zhao looked at the clothes in the idiot's hand and was a little surprised. This combination was too... too strange... However, Ning Zhao only followed Jiang Yuwei's lead. As long as it was made by his mother, it must be good, so he said:
"If you don't wear clothes, you will be naked, and you can't go to the yard to eat naked."
The fool looked at Ning Zhao, then looked at the clothes in his hands, and put on the clothes with gritted teeth as if he had made up his mind.
Ning Zhao looked at the tall idiot in front of him wearing a rather slim-fitting outfit, a gray top with flowery pants. Well, he was still very recognizable. He wanted to laugh but gritted his teeth and held it back. He just turned his head to the side and said, not looking at the idiot:
"Come out and eat soon."
After saying that, he ran to the center of the yard, holding his stomach and laughing.
Ning Huaizhi was wondering what Ning Zhao was laughing at, but when he looked up, he saw the idiot following Ning Zhao out of the room. His eyes widened immediately and he couldn't help laughing.
The fool tilted his head and looked at the father and son and asked in confusion:
"What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Yuwei also left the house at this time. Seeing the fool's appearance, she immediately felt a little sorry for him, so she suppressed her smile and replied:
"I cooked their favorite meal tonight, and they were smiling happily."
Ning Zhao covered his stomach and laughed:
"Yeah, let's eat quickly. I'm hungry!"
Everyone sat down. Jiang Yuwei served Ning Huaizhi a bowl of rice and said:
"Huaizhi, the shop I went to see today is selling for 280 taels. It's a perfect size, and there's a backyard that can be used as a warehouse. If you want to keep someone in the shop to look after it, there's room for one person to sleep. The main thing is that the shop is on North Street, close to the academy, so you can buy it and use it to sell paper."
Jiang Yuwei said as she put a piece of meat into Ning Daya's bowl, signaling her to eat more meat, and continued:
"We have accumulated some old customers in our paper mill. Many customers said that sometimes they need paper urgently but cannot find us, so they have to go to Ge's Paper Shop to buy it. If we have a shop in Ping'an Town in the future, we can better maintain these old customers and develop more new customers."
Ning Huaizhi listened to Jiang Yuwei while eating, nodded in agreement:
"You're right. Sooner or later we have to have a shop in Ping'an Town. Otherwise, it will be really inconvenient."
After hearing this, Ning Zhao put down his bowl and chopsticks and said:
"Mom, are you talking about Lao Cao's shop?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded.
Ning Zhao thought for a moment and said:
"Lao Cao is a good person. When we go to his shop to buy things, he doesn't ask for a high price. If we buy a lot, he often gives us a discount."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Zhao and asked:
"Mother didn't notice this shop before. What does Lao Cao sell?"
Ning Zhao smiled and said:
"We just sell some stationery and sundries. Anyway, we want to take over and sell paper. Maybe Lao Cao's customers can also become our customers."
Jiang Yuwei said approvingly:
"Zhao'er is right. I will bring the silver and talk to Lao Cao tomorrow."
Ning Huaizhi said worriedly:
"Yuwei, does our family have enough money?"
Jiang Yuwei shook her head:
"It's not enough right now, but I'll take you to Doctor Lin to treat your leg tomorrow. I still have some herbs I collected last time in the mountains. I can sell them at the pharmacy and get some money. When we go to Lao Cao, we can negotiate the price with him. We can buy this shop, but we'll have to live in poverty for a while."
Ning Huaizhi picked up a piece of meat and put it in Jiang Yuwei's bowl and said with a smile:
"It's okay to be a little poor. We've all been through hard times. Now you've managed this family very well. I support you in whatever decision you make."
Ning Zhao looked at his father's behavior and laughed:
"Yes, mother, Wan'er and I support you. When you take over the shop, I will go to help you whenever I am free!"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and patted Ning Zhao on the shoulder:
"You don't have to worry about the family business. You should focus on your studies."
Ning Zhao nodded and frowned:
"My studies have been quite intense recently. We will have a field holiday in a month. I have an exam before the field holiday that I need to prepare for. This exam will select a group of students to take the Tongsheng exam next February. If I can't even pass the Tongsheng exam, there's no point wasting money on studying."
