My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

62 Chapter 62 Sewing Shoes

The women sitting on the straw piles at the village entrance and basking in the sun were all shocked to see the two coming over. Then, the lively atmosphere immediately cooled down.

Sixth Aunt Gu saw the shoes in their hands and oiled her needle slightly. Then, she looked at the shoe sole in her hands, found the proper position, and stabbed it hard.

At the same time, she asked curiously with a bit of contempt, “Oh, aren’t you the two noble ladies of the third and seventh son? Why are you also making shoes like us country bumpkins? How rare.”

“Oh, look at what you are saying. Now that we have the same identity, we naturally have to do as the Romans do.” Mrs. Yao smiled as she stepped forward.

“Yes, we’re learning how to make shoes. This is our first time, and we’re afraid of ruining something. This is why we’re asking for your advice.” Mrs. Liu echoed.

“Ask for guidance? Mrs. Huang from your family is good at it. Why do you need to ask us for guidance?” The sixth aunt of the Gu family pouted.

“That’s right. I heard your family’s concubine can even get work from the shop in town. If so, do you still need to ask us for help?” A woman said sourly.

“Mrs. Huang knows some embroidery and sewing, but she has never done shoe soles. This is why we can only come and ask for your advice.” When Mrs. Yao said this, she turned her head and said with a smile, “Sixth Aunt, I heard that the soles you make are the strongest in the village. Can you teach us?”

Sixth Aunt heard her craftsmanship being praised and felt happy. She immediately moved her seat and said humbly, “I can’t say I sew the sturdiest shoes, but I do add one or two more elements to them. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you.”

“Okay, thank you, Sixth Aunt.” Mrs. Yao responded by sitting down next to her. Mrs. Liu hesitated and finally sat on a stone on the side.

The crowd smiled when they saw this, but no one reminded her that sitting on a rock at this time of the day was just asking for trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Liu sat down, she felt a bone-piercing cold under her butt and immediately stood up. In the end, she sat on the straw pile with a look of disgust.

Sixth Aunt rolled her eyes at her but still stopped what she was doing and taught them how to sew the soles of their shoes. After she had taught them how to sew, she continued to sew her own.

“By the way, third sister-in-law, did you guys know that Gu Chengrui and his wife bought a donkey?” She asked curiously.

In fact, she was gloating about it as they should be regretting their decision now. The young couple’s lives had gotten better after they left, but their old family was in nothing but chaos.

“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it in person. Have you seen it?” Mrs. Liu replied as she struggled to adjust the soles of her shoes.

“Yes, I saw him this morning when I came out to dispose of some waste. That donkey is sure fat and strong.”

“Then it’s true. It’s good that they can live well. We can rest assured.”

Sixth Aunt gave her a disdainful look and didn’t say anything else.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yao was somewhat anxious. Since they knew that Chengrui’s family had become rich, why didn’t anyone ask how they had become rich? When had the villagers become so generous?

However, she didn’t ask any further. Instead, she carefully sews the soles of her shoes. She was learning how to make it for her grandson, as she didn’t dare let others do it. It would be troublesome if anyone did something terrible.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu did not say anything. Since Gu Chengrui had to pass through here to return to the village, she would bring up the topic again when the time came.

A few more old ladies came in one after another. Because of their dazed silence, the others began to gossip again.

However, the gossip voices were low, but some people were even pointing at them. After all, they still remembered how the Gu family had chased Gu Chengrui and his wife to live in Mother God’s temple.
