Sun and Yu Xiaolian bought two sets of clothes for everyone, as well as undergarments and new cloth shoes.
The mother and daughter shopped to their hearts' content and then asked a shop assistant to help deliver the goods home.
Old Madam Sun saw them coming back with so many packages and asked Sun, "How much money did all this cost?"
Sun feared her mother's heartache, so she didn't tell the truth and only mentioned half the price, "Over forty taels!"
Old Madam Sun smacked her lips in distress, saying it was too expensive. Seeing that Sun bought ready-made clothes, she nagged, "Next time, don't buy ready-made clothes, they're too pricey and not worth it.
Next time someone needs clothes, just buy the fabric and I'll make them.
The styles you bought, I may not be able to make exactly the same, but I can do something pretty close."
Old Madam Sun nagged, but Sun didn't get angry, she just kept smiling and agreed with whatever old madam Sun said.
