Not long after, Ji Wan'er took the two children to a ready-made clothing shop.

She bought a set of clothes for each of them, costing fifty coins.

These were just ordinary clothes; better ones would cost over a hundred coins.

In this era, men cultivated the land, and women wove fabric, so not many people would go out to buy clothes.

The bought clothes were also much more expensive than homemade ones.

Unfortunately, Ji Wan'er didn't know how to make clothes, so she had no choice but to buy them.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want it. It's too expensive," Yun Shuang tried to decline.

They had spent only twenty or thirty coins on buying so much food and meat, and now this single piece of clothing was almost the same price.

Although Zi An really wanted it, he also knew the clothes were too expensive, so he didn't dare to ask for it and pushed it away.

Ji Wan'er offered several times, but neither of the two children wanted it.

Fifty coins was indeed a large sum of money for their current financial situation.

However, what needed to be spent had to be spent.

She initially thought that Yun Shuang and Zi An's clothes were perfectly clean after washing, so there shouldn't be any problem.

But she overlooked the gaze of their peers.

Moreover, the two children really didn't have many clothes.

"Sister-in-law, since I married your older brother, I haven't given you any gifts. Consider this clothing as a gift for our first meeting," Ji Wan'er said.

The woman who sold the clothes also chimed in, "Look how kind your sister-in-law is to you. You must treat her well in the future and repay her when you grow up."

Yun Shuang and Zi An still didn't want to accept it.

"Sister-in-law, consider it as compensation for how I treated you poorly before, okay?" Ji Wan'er sincerely said.

Yun Shuang and Zi An glanced at each other.

After all, they were just children and couldn't resist the adults' persuasion.

The new clothes were eventually worn by them.

Yun Shuang felt both uneasy and unable to suppress the joy in her heart.

When her mother was alive, she had made her many clothes.

But after her parents passed away, she never wore new clothes again.

This feeling had been absent for many years.

Zi An was wearing new clothes for the first time. As soon as they left the clothing shop, he couldn't stop smiling, and his walking became unsteady as he hopped and skipped along.

When passing by other children, he deliberately showed off his new clothes.

What a simple happiness it was.

Because they had bought quite a few things, some of which were heavy, they didn't walk back home quickly.

They walked leisurely along the way, stopping from time to time.

By the time they returned to the village, it was already noon.

After they got back, Ji Wan'er put the vegetables and meat in the main room and went to her own room to change clothes.
