Chapter 247 Just comes in handy
"You two come in with me."

Fang Jinxiu led the two people to find Mu.

"Mom, do you still have the undergarment you sewed last time?"

Not a single bit of the rags she brought back from the clothing store was wasted. They were either embroidered by Mu into handkerchiefs or made into socks, sheets, and clothes by her.

With her superb stitching skills, there is no gap between the fabrics. Not only does the color look beautiful, but the clothes don't feel like burrs scratching the flesh when worn.

Mu knew what Fang Jinxiu was going to do as soon as she saw her coming, and quickly took out the inner clothes she had just prepared.

From the moment these girls came in, she had already thought about preparing a change of clothes for them.

Jinyu and Xiaoyue followed Fang Jinxiu into the room. Xiaoyue was very smart and imitated the maidservant of a wealthy family to salute Mu.

"This slave has met the old lady."

Jin Yu was stunned and quickly followed suit.

Fang Jinxiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect the two of them to take her words so seriously and started to implement them.

Surprised, she was quite satisfied. She had to observe this girl Xiaoyue for a while, and maybe she could become her right-hand assistant in the future.

Mu was shocked instead. This feeling of being saluted was something she had only experienced before when she was still in her boudoir and staying with her parents.

At that time, my mother arranged a little maid to serve her.

Later, when she married into the Zong family, Mrs. Wu thought she was too showy and asked her to sell her maid.

Mu couldn't bear to sell the little maid who had been with her for many years, so he secretly exchanged the deed of sale for her and set her free.

Then he pawned his jewelry for some silver and went back to pay the errand.

From then on, Mrs. Mu learned to do housework conscientiously, starting from scratch.

Mu stepped forward helplessly, "Hey, I'm just an old country woman, what kind of old lady am I?"

"You two are about to be called that. People may laugh at me if they hear you."

Fang Jinxiu said domineeringly, "Let me see who dares to laugh at you."

"In this family, you are the old lady."

"Mom, from now on, my daughter-in-law will definitely let you, the old lady, be a down-to-earth person so that you can live a good life."

"Jinyu Xiaoyue, this is what you call me when you are at home, and you are not allowed to change your name."

Mrs. Mu felt warm in her heart after being coaxed by her daughter-in-law's words, and smiled sheepishly.There is no mother-in-law in the world who is happier than her. At this age, she can still be so pampered by her daughter-in-law.

"Jinxiu, please stop talking. People in the village know where I can put my old face."

"Our family is not a wealthy family, so why should we call it an old lady?"

Fang Jinxiu felt that her mother-in-law was too modest.

"Sooner or later, our family will become a wealthy family in this area. Don't you believe in our abilities?"

"And Zong Bai, when he gets admitted to the imperial examination in the future, you still have to become an old lady, so you should get used to it in advance."

Fang Jinxiu took the clothes from Mu, without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Mom, I'm going to take Jinyu Xiaoyue down to wash up and rest. You should also go to bed early."

Jinyu Xiaoyue bowed towards Mu in a polite manner, "Old madam, please rest early. I will leave this servant."

Mu's old face turned red, nodded and quickly waved to the two of them.

Fang Jinxiu knew that it was not easy to change someone's habits, but a big change in their family was coming soon, so it would be good to let her mother-in-law adapt to this title in advance.

She gave the clothes to the two of them and taught them how to fetch water and wash them. Water resources are still very precious nowadays and cannot be wasted at all. When using them, take as little as possible and make the best use of them.

"Don't throw away the water after wiping your body. Keep it. You can also wash your hands until it's so dirty that you can't see it, and then use it to water the ground."

"Remember?"

The two nodded quickly.

That night, Xiaoyue and Jinyu were allowed to go to bed by Fang Jinxiu and slept together with her all night.

She plans to ask Changhe to come over tomorrow to help make two wooden beds.

The previous plan to build a house also needs to be put on the agenda.

Fang Jinxiu gained a lot from this trip to the bandits' den. Although half of the food was distributed, he also collected a lot of various seasonings.

Moreover, she also found 200 taels of silver in the gangster's den, which was purely an unexpected gain.

There happened to be four more people in the family, and building a house was imminent, so the money came in handy.
