After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

Because of Commander Han's strong insistence, Wang Xiuzhi delayed for several days before having to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to make two new sets of clothes for herself and her two children.

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Xiuzhi stood in front of the cloth counter, feeling somewhat dazzled.

She clutched the money in her pocket, hesitated for a long while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak to the sales clerk, "Excuse me, which type of fabric is the cheapest?"

The saleswoman was a young girl with two braids. She glanced at her upon hearing this, but didn't show any unusual expression. She then turned around and pulled out two rolls of cloth from the bottom shelf.

"This unbleached cloth is the cheapest, three cents a foot. And this work cloth is sturdy and durable, forty-five cents a foot."

Wang Xiuzhi quickly did the math in her head.

Although raw fabric is cheap, it is not as durable as denim and can last for several years.

She was about to ask the sales clerk to help her measure the fabric.

Two elderly people walked over from the side; they were Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng.

"Excuse me, sir, which type of fabric do you use the most comfortable?"

The sales clerk recognized her; she knew she was Dr. Lin's mother-in-law.

Her smile became more genuine as she enthusiastically introduced the fabric, "You've come at the perfect time! We just received a batch of fine materials a few days ago, cotton and silk, perfect for summer."

Xu Yueyun reached out and touched it, nodding occasionally.

The saleswoman smiled and said, "Are you making clothes for Dr. Lin's unborn child? Judging by the time, it won't be until next spring, so you'll need to buy some thicker fabric."

Xu Yueyun's smile deepened. "Give me a few feet of this cotton fabric. Can you calculate how much it would cost to make two sets of clothes for two adults and four children, two sets for each of them?"

Two daughters-in-law, one grandson, and three granddaughters.

Xu Yueyun, being impartial, simply decided to have two bodies.

The saleswoman readily agreed and called her colleagues to help measure her fabric.

Xu Yueyun then asked, "And what about the baby clothes? Could you help me decide what kind of fabric to use?"

She was generous, so the sales clerk naturally brought out the best items.

Xu Yueyun patted the piece of fabric with satisfaction. "This is good. It's soft and won't irritate my skin. Could you get me six feet of fabric to make a swaddle blanket, and two feet of fabric to cut out diapers?"

The sales clerk asked with a smile, "Not making clothes?"

Xu Yueyun smiled and said, "I've used up all my cloth coupons. I'll buy more when I have more."

"Okay." The sales clerk quickly measured and cut the fabric.

Wang Xiuzhi was stunned by what she saw.

Such good material, used to make diapers?

Wang Xiuzhi's toes curled uncomfortably, and she subconsciously looked down at the roll of work cloth she had just picked out; it was dusty and stiff...

After Xu Yueyun finished selecting the fabric, she turned to look at Wang Xiuzhi, smiled, and that was her way of greeting her.

Wang Xiuzhi quickly forced a smile, unsure of what to say.

Xu Yueyun didn't mind. She paid the bill with the salesperson, and Su Bingcheng carried the big bag of cloth. The two of them chatted and laughed as they left.

The sales clerk started chatting casually with the person next to her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, do you see that? I've never seen such a generous mother-in-law, she's like my own mother."

The person next to him laughed and said, "Even my own mother wouldn't buy me this much fabric to make clothes."

"If I were as capable as Dr. Lin, my mother-in-law would have to take care of me too."

Everyone laughed when he said that.

The saleswoman then turned around, smiled at Wang Xiuzhi, and asked, "Ma'am, which piece of fabric did you say you wanted?"

Wang Xiuzhi came to her senses, her voice a little hoarse, "Let me take another look."

She put the unbleached white cloth back, her hand lingered on the workcloth for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, then pointed to the fine cloth Xu Yueyun had just touched. "Comrade, how much is that cloth per foot?"

The sales clerk followed her finger and said, "That one, it's one dollar and twenty cents a foot."

Wang Xiuzhi hesitated again.

The sales clerk guessed that she might not have any money, so she didn't rush her and turned to chat and laugh with other people.

In the end, Wang Xiuzhi did not buy the cheapest white raw cloth.

She bought fine fabric for her two children to make clothes, but for herself, she bought durable work cloth.

By the time she got home, Wang Xiuzhi was covered in sweat.

This is the first time she's spent so much money at once, and her hands are still shaking.

When Commander Han returned in the evening, Wang Xiuzhi eagerly laid out the cloth in front of him and stated the price.

A piece of cloth that costs 20 cents a foot!

Commander Han, who was also frugal by nature, was heartbroken.

Wang Xiuzhi was completely unaware of the situation, believing that she had completed the task he had assigned her, and was even boasting to Commander Han about her achievements.

"There were cheap fabrics, only 30 cents each, but I didn't buy them. This one, at 1.2 yuan, was the most expensive."

Commander Han felt inexplicably like he had shot himself in the foot, but since he was the one who had asked her to learn how to spend money, he could only grit his teeth and continue praising her, "You did a great job."

Wang Xiuzhi was overjoyed to receive his praise. Not knowing whether she was comforting him or herself, she added, "I heard that a ready-made garment costs several yuan outside. If I can make my own clothes, I can save a lot of money."

Commander Han forced a smile.

Han Mei was the happiest when new clothes were made.

Throughout her life, she has always worn hand-me-downs from her older siblings, and only in gray and black.

The fabric her mother bought this time was a warm yellow color. Han Mei stayed by her mother's side, not daring to touch it with her hands.

Children's social circles can also unconsciously exclude others.

The military personnel who can accompany their families are at least deputy battalion commanders or above.

The children will naturally have a good diet and decent clothes.

Han Mei and Liang Ping had just come from a poor mountainous area. There were many things they had never seen or eaten before, and their clothes were tattered.

They already feel somewhat inferior when they encounter other children, so they don't take the initiative to socialize.

In addition, children their age have already learned some worldly wisdom and are prone to comparison.

Liang Ping and Han Mei were naturally ostracized.

Wang Xiuzhi was sewing clothes under the lamp when she glanced at Han Mei. "This fabric cost a lot of money. You have to cherish it and wear it carefully. I've never worn such expensive clothes in my entire life."

Han Mei, who was originally in high spirits, lost her smile upon hearing these words.

"Then go ahead and buy it. It's not like we don't have the money."

Wang Xiuzhi glared at her. "I told you, we shouldn't let you kids know how much money our family has. You get all cocky as soon as you find out!"

Han Mei was inexplicably criticized, and with tears in her eyes, she said, "I didn't do anything, and all you do is scold me."

Wang Xiuzhi kept her head down and continued sewing. "Is this what you call scolding? You're just living too well."

Han Mei kicked a chair and ran out of the room.

Wang Xiuzhi muttered, "This child is getting more and more disobedient as he gets older."

Although Han Mei was angry with her mother, she was not close to Commander Han and did not dare to complain. She walked out alone in a sullen mood.

She had just reached the alley entrance when she ran into Lin Zhilan, who was returning from Xu Yueyun's place.

Just as Han Mei was about to run away, Lin Zhilan called her back.
