Chapter 124

“Alright, I’ll get back to you on mother’s birthday,” As Lin Mei said so, she gave her sister a pointed look, indicating that things would highly depend on her performance.

If Lin Lan wanted some cotton from her, she was going to have to step back. If she tried to suppress her third sister and embarrass her on that day, she wasn’t going to get the cotton she needed so desperately!

Lin Lan understood in second, “Third sister, you see, after separating our families, there really isn’t anything at home. We’re even getting nervous due to the food supplies, so I might have to think about things when it comes to our mother’s birthday celebration.”

“Then why did you say that she was going to have an unforgettable birthday celebration? You’re going to surprise her with how poor you are?” Lin Mei retorted.

“It’s just a little surprise for mother,” Lin Lan smiled, “Third sister, please help me think about it. If you have cotton with you, I want them. Plus, you can sell them to me according to the market price. I definitely won’t take advantage of you.”

As she said that, she mentioned that she was going to take a trip to the butcher’s, so she wouldn’t stay behind for any other idle conversation.

Lin Mei’s eyes glared at her as if they were small knives. Lin Lan felt that her third sister could probably see through her ploy, so she decided to play it safe for now.

Lin Mei didn’t intend to let her go and decided to follow along. She held a roll of cloth while Lin Lan held the other.

“Third sister, this is really heavy. Why don’t we get someone to carry this for you?”

“You were about to take both of these and fly away the instant you heard me call you just now, so why do you think that I can’t even hold one?”

Lin Lan had no choice but to carry it up and go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative with Lin Mei, “Third sister, with the cloth that we’re carrying now, do you think that this is considered illegal since we manufactured the cloth ourselves?”

“I know more about this than you do. Don’t worry, this is the cloth that I made myself. If I want to give it to my sister, who’s going to give a damn about it?”

“Oh, then, you should return my money to me, third sister.”

“Scram aside,” Lin Lan gave her a pointed look.

When they arrived at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they placed the things together and sat outside. They relaxed under the shade of a tree as they waited for Han Qingsong to come.

Lin Mei looked at the items that she got and was going to roll her eyes once more. The moment her younger sister got even the slightest influx of money, she decided to spend it all at once. How did she do that?

“Third sister, sit down and rest.”

“I am not tired.”

“I practically watched you walk around here and there. With how the cogs in your mind are twisting, I’m feeling tired for your sake.”

Lin Mei rolled her eyes hard before she sat down on one side and pointed to one of her items, “What is this? A fire stick?”

“A flute, third sister, it’s a flute!”

Lin Mei sneered hard, “Are you trying to have that as food? Or as firewood?”

“This is for my spiritual supplement, ” Lin Lan took the flute for fear that her third sister would throw it away.

Lin Mei didn’t say anything else about the flute, but pointed at the pile again, “Do you need to buy so many bowls? Are you preparing all of these for your father-in-law, mother-in-law, youngest brother and sister-in-laws as well?”

“There are 7 people in our family, so one person would have one bowl. Also…”
