Chapter 72 Getting interested in sex
Su Tai had no objection.

The two worked for two days and two nights in a row, and finally managed to make two 20-pound quilts on the night before Su Tai returned to her parents' home, and made a set of cotton clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes for Su Chunlin and Han Shi respectively.

Shen Yi went into the mountains early in the morning and brought back the two pheasants that had been caught in the snare.

Su Tai thought for a moment, then went to the vegetable shop again and spent 500 coins to buy some vegetables that could be stored for a long time. That should be enough for her.

The couple took a donkey cart back, arriving at Dongmen Village before noon.

Han and Su Chunlin waited anxiously before dawn, and when their daughter and son-in-law finally returned, they rushed out to help.

Su Chunlin looked at the two large quilts and the big bundle with a puzzled expression. "Why did you bring quilts back? And what are these?"

Su Tai jumped off the donkey cart, picked up the large bundle, and walked into the house. "Father, Mother, help me carry these things."

The group entered the main room.

Su Tai immediately unpacked the package like a treasure, saying, "Shen Yi and I made two quilts for you, and also made a set of clothes for each of you. Go try them on, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

The couple had no idea their daughter and son-in-law were so thoughtful. They couldn't stop smiling, and while scolding them for making a fuss, they quickly grabbed the clothes and went to the backyard.

A moment later, the two rushed into the main room one after the other, turning around in surprise. "Shen Yi, the clothes, pants, and shoes you made are so warm! And so light, and the lining is so comfortable. What did you put in them?"

Su Tai and Shen Yi had already prepared their words, and said unhurriedly, "We bought it from a passing cloth merchant when we went to Dahe Town. He said it was from Longxia Kingdom and we don't have it here. I saw that the material was rare and cheaper than silk, so we had to buy it quickly."

Su Nizi, who was standing to the side, touched it briefly before quickly withdrawing her hand.

Su Tai asked, puzzled, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Su Nizi explained somewhat embarrassedly, "This fabric is too soft. My hands are covered in calluses. It would be bad if I ruined it."

Su Tai felt inexplicably sad and said, "Aunt, this isn't silk, it's not that precious. Look at my parents, they have calluses on their hands too, but their clothes are still fine! I covered the clothes with coarse cloth, so I don't have to worry about damaging or getting them dirty while working."

Mrs. Han was overjoyed. "Yes, yes! This cloth is so warm and comfortable! It's even better than the fine linen I bought!"

Once she put on and put on this outfit, she felt warm from head to toe and didn't want to take it off at all.

Just then, Madam Huang and Madam Tao came over for a visit. Upon seeing Madam Han's clothes, they immediately began to touch and rub them, their hearts filled with desire. "Good little moss, how much is this fabric per foot? Do you have any left?"

Su Tai and Shen Yi exchanged glances, and Su Tai said somewhat apologetically, "Auntie, we bought it for fifty coins a foot, but we didn't dare to ask for more."

Tao expressed his understanding, saying, "Fifty coins a foot is not cheap, who would dare to buy more! Little Moss, could you spare a little from your hands?"

Ms. Huang nodded frantically, "I plan to make some clothes and diapers for Xiaoyu's baby."

The village earned a lot of money this autumn. They worked so hard to carry on the family line, so it's only right that they spend the money on their children.

Su Tai had already prepared everything. She took out four feet of cloth from another package and said, "These were originally prepared for my cousin. Auntie, you don't need to pay for them."

“That won’t do! I know you’re a good boy, but this fabric isn’t cheap. We can’t take advantage of you. You can get me another fifteen feet later, and that will make up a tael of silver.” With that, Huang took out a tael of loose silver from her pocket, placed it on the table, and happily walked away with the fabric in her arms.

Su Tai didn't even have a chance to persuade him.

Tao looked enviously at her sister-in-law who had run off into the distance, and earnestly instructed Su Tai, "Little Tai, don't forget your aunt, she needs some too. There are many people in my family, so if possible, please prepare thirty feet for your aunt. Here is some silver, please keep it safe."

Tao left behind a tael and a half of loose silver and ran away as well.

Su Tai held the silver, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Han asked anxiously, "Xiao Tai, how much material do you have left?"

Su Tai came to her senses and smiled reassuringly, "Mother, there's still plenty left, enough to share."

Upon hearing this, Su Nizi pursed her lips shyly and said, "Xiao Tai, Auntie wants some too. Do you have any in brighter colors?"

Su Tai nodded, "Yes, there is, but it will be three days before it's available. What does Auntie need it for?"

Su Nizi glanced at Ke Dasong and the others, then lowered her eyes. "I want to prepare some for my two future daughters-in-law, keep some as a backup, and also for Yunyun."

When Ke Yunyun was mentioned, Su Nizi suddenly choked up and couldn't speak.

Su Tai's heart tightened. Could it be that Ke Yunyun had gotten into trouble just a few days after her wedding?

"Aunt, what's wrong with my cousin?" Su Tai asked anxiously, then added, "If we can't find a good doctor right away, we can ask around elsewhere. We're sure to find one."

Su Ni cried even harder, shaking her head repeatedly.

Han, sitting down dejectedly, said, “Your cousin’s illness isn’t a big problem. The doctor said it’s because she was born with a congenital deficiency and was born in such a harsh place as the ice field, which is why she keeps coughing. As long as she goes to a warm place to recuperate, she will be fine in two or three years. If the family has the means and takes good care of her, she will most likely not have a relapse.”

"Isn't this a good thing? Why is Aunt crying?" Su Tai asked, puzzled. "Since my cousin isn't suited to living on the ice plains, she can stay at my house."

Anyway, I'm married now, the house will be quiet, and having my cousin around will keep my mother and Xiaoyu company. If she doesn't want to, she can move to the new house, but it's more suitable for her to stay at our house, right, Mother?"

Madam Han glanced at her innocent daughter with a troubled expression. "If only it were that simple! That day, your father took your aunt and the others to the county town to find your uncle, and coincidentally, the eldest son of the Zhu family ran into them."

That lecherous man, lusting after your beauty, immediately ordered Young Master Bai to summon your uncle for questioning. They had barely returned to the village when the Zhu family sent betrothal gifts, saying they wanted to take your cousin as a concubine.

"This is outrageous!" Su Tai slammed her hand on the table in anger. "My cousin is a law-abiding citizen. If we don't agree, can they force us?"

Su Nizi wiped away her tears and choked back sobs, "Young Master Zhu can't force us, but your uncle's family still works at the Bai residence. What if they get angry and cause trouble for your uncle?"

Madam Han sighed and said, "Your uncle sold himself to the Bai family. They can beat and scold him whenever they want. This time, when Yunyun went to find a doctor, your uncle spent money and effort on everything. He really dotes on this niece to the core. If your aunt and Yunyun are punished by their master because of Yunyun, neither of them will be able to get over it."

"Waaaaah, why are we so unlucky!" Su Nizi sobbed, lying on the table.

Su Tai felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, and murmured in frustration, "Is there really no other way?"
