"Really?" Chen Lingling could no longer mind the vegetables in her hands, anxiously grabbing Xiaohong's arm.
"Why would I lie to you? You absolutely must not tell anyone! Otherwise, if all the clothes are snatched up by others, you'll be crying!" Xiaohong said.
"Never, let's go quickly?" Chen Lingling said nervously, afraid that any delay would mean nothing left.
"Aren't you taking the vegetables home first? Do you have money on you?" Xiaohong looked at Chen Lingling, who was holding the vegetables and couldn't wait to go home, and couldn't help but say, "No need to be so rushed, I asked Fu Zhiqing to keep them for you!"
"How can I not be in a hurry? If I'm late and others pick them all, they'll be gone," Chen Lingling said urgently, and had already run out of sight.
Chen Lingling had run back before even washing the vegetables. Her sister-in-law, seeing her sister-in-law rush back to the room, shouted, "Mom, sister-in-law ran back without washing the vegetables!"
"Ling'er, what are you doing? I asked you to wash the vegetables, why did you come back?" Mother Liu, hearing her daughter's words, came out of the room and shouted.
"Mom, Fu Zhiqing has good clothes. I was thinking since little sister is going to be introduced soon, I'll go see if there are any suitable clothes for her!" Chen Lingling said to her mother-in-law.
Hearing Chen Lingling's words, Mother Liu's stiff expression eased considerably. Her sister-in-law, Liu Huanhuan, immediately jumped up happily, "Sister-in-law, are you going to buy clothes for me?"
"Xiaohong just told me that Fu Zhiqing is selling her old clothes! There aren't many clothes, if we don't go soon, they might all be snatched up by others." Chen Lingling glanced at her sister-in-law and said.
"Then sister-in-law, hurry up! Don't let others snatch them all!" Liu Huanhuan urged, pushing Chen Lingling out the door.
Chen Lingling nodded and quickly ran out.
"Mom, will sister-in-law buy me any?" After Chen Lingling left, Liu Huanhuan looked at Mother Liu and said excitedly.
"Since your sister-in-law said so, she will definitely buy it for you! But the clothes for your introduction cannot be paid for by your sister-in-law. When she comes back, if you like them, you should give the money back to your sister-in-law." Mother Liu said to Liu Huanhuan.
"Why? Didn't sister-in-law say she'd buy them for me?" Liu Huanhuan said unhappily.
"Just listen to me." Mother Liu glanced at Liu Huanhuan and returned to the room.
Chen Lingling ran out just as Xiaohong had finished putting away the clothes and came out. She grabbed Xiaohong and ran towards Fu Wenwen's house.
"Is your sister-in-law letting you off so quickly today?" Xiaohong looked at Chen Lingling and asked with a smile. "Which day does she not report you and get you scolded by your mother-in-law? You're so quick today."
"That's true, if I say I'll buy her clothes, would she dare to stop me?" Chen Lingling said with a smile.
"Oh, you're really shelling out?" Xiaohong asked in surprise. She was going to buy clothes for her sister-in-law?
"She's a troublemaker, but my mother-in-law isn't. My mother-in-law will make her pay me back!" Chen Lingling said with certainty. After years of marrying into the Liu family, she had long since figured out her mother-in-law's personality.
"Hurry, hurry! You quicken up!" Chen Lingling urged, finding Xiaohong too slow.
"I've never seen you so rushed before, you're in a hurry today." Although Xiaohong said that, she still quickened her pace to catch up with Chen Lingling.
As the two of them hurried towards Fu Wenwen's house, many villagers saw them and shouted at Xiaohong, "Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
"Fu Zhiqing is selling clothes! Let's go take a look!" Xiaohong explained to the villagers, and then ran far ahead.
