When Father Tong heard this, he could not help but rub his head. He chuckled and did not know how to answer.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind. “Father Tong? Why are you here?”

The few of them turned around. Woah, wasn’t this Jiang Yongkang who had just left not long ago?

Father Tong was also surprised. “Why are you here?”

“My house is over there.” Jiang Yongkang pointed to an alley not far away. “I just went home and put my things down. I’m going to buy some vegetables to cook. Do you want to come to my house?”

“No.” Shen Sitian rejected him. “We still have to find a cloth shop.”

“Cloth shop?” Jiang Yongkang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. “You want to buy cloth? I think there’s only Qian’s Clothing Shop nearby. However, that shop looks big, but it doesn’t have a good reputation in our area. It’s best to change to another shop.”

Tong Shuitao’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. Uncle Jiang, you’re very familiar with this town. Do you know which cloth shop accepts embroidery work at a fair price?”

Jiang Yongkang smiled. “There really is one. I’ll bring you there.”

“There’s no need. You still have to buy groceries. Just point us in the right direction and we’ll go ourselves.”

Jiang Yongkang said, “It’s not far. The market I’m going to is also there. Let’s go and not waste any more time.” As he spoke, he suddenly paused and looked at Father Tong. “It’s just that it’s not easy to ride this carriage over. The road is narrow, and it’s easy for the carriage to bump into the small stalls by the roadside.”

Tong Shuitao waved her hand. “Then wait for us here.”

Father Tong could only stay behind and continue watching the carriage.

The cloth shop that Jiang Yongkang mentioned was indeed not far. It was just two alleys away.

The cloth shop was clean and tidy. Although the size of the shop was not as big as the previous one, the boss’s smiling attitude was quite good.

When he saw the embroidery handkerchief Shen Sitian took out, his eyes lit up.

“This embroidery is good. Did you embroider it?”

After Shen Sitian nodded, the boss was even happier. He bought the embroidered handkerchiefs for 30 copper coins apiece. This was considered a high price in the town. It was higher than Shen Sitian had expected.

She had embroidered ten handkerchiefs and earned three hundred copper coins. She was still a little excited.

After that, the boss took out an embroidery drawing and asked her if she could embroider it.

Shen Sitian did not expect to receive embroidery work. She looked at the picture carefully and immediately agreed.

The boss said that if she could finish the embroidery in half a month, he would give her one tael of silver directly. Moreover, he would give her the fabric and thread.

Before Shen Sitian could say anything, Tong Shuitao’s eyes lit up. One tael of silver for half a month, two taels of silver a month. So embroidery was so profitable?

Shen Sitian agreed and looked at Madam Yang. “Auntie, where’s your embroidery handkerchief?”

The boss was stunned. He looked at the woman who had been silent but looked to be the best-dressed among the three of them.

Madam Yang took out the embroidered handkerchief shakily and said, “Thirty copper coins.”

The boss was speechless. Although this embroidery was not bad, his eyes were sharp. With one look, he knew that it was done by someone new. It was not worth 30 copper coins at all.

“How about this? I’ll give you a total of 30 copper coins for two handkerchiefs, okay?”

Madam Yang immediately took the handkerchief back with an unhappy expression.

Seeing this, Shen Sitian quickly gave the boss a look. In a place where Madam Yang could not see, she secretly gave the boss thirty copper coins.

The boss could also tell that Madam Yang was different from ordinary people. At first, he thought that this lady wanted to take advantage of him.

He accepted Shen Sitian’s 30 copper coins and immediately said to Madam Yang, “I was wrong. This handkerchief is 30 copper coins a piece. I’ll pay you
