Capítulo 5: Vision for the Future

"Mom, Mom is too happy." His mother seemed to have just reacted. She raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe her tears as she said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Yes." Su Jin smiled at her and continued to play with the firewood.

After a while, she said, "Mom, I know you think this is unbelievable, but it just happened like this. Not only during this period of time, but in the future, our family will also be better off." She paused before continuing, "I promise, I will do it. I'll let you and Second Brother have a better meal, dress up better, and live a better life."

"I know Jin'er can do it." Mother nodded and stopped talking, focusing on cooking lard.

Thus, tonight's meal was the best meal their family had had in the past few days. The rich fragrance of oil wafted into Su Jin's nose, causing her to eat two big bowls of brown rice.

After the meal, Su Jin and her mother started to take turns knitting cloth. When it was Su Jin's turn to rest, she started to browse through the knowledge stored in No. 1, while her mother Meng Qin helped them carry the soles of their winter boots.

Time flew by and it was another gathering day. However, this time, Su Jin took out a lot more cloth than last time.

The difference from last time was that when Su Jin opened up her stall, someone immediately came over and asked, "Little girl, how much is this cloth?"

Su Jin looked at the rapidly approaching crowd and understood.

The eyes of the masses were always bright, and they were always looking for something better.

This time, Su Jin had used high-quality cotton yarn and improved her weaving method. Later on, she even bought some blue dyed cotton threads and added them together with the original ones to weave different patterns, such as zigzag patterns, cloud patterns and so on. When these pieces of cloth were placed on the ground, it immediately seemed completely different from the floor that was filled with yellow dust. When people's eyes swept over this place, they would immediately be attracted by this contrast.

"A plain cloth with sixty words per piece, and a patterned one with eighty words." she answered simply.

"It's too expensive, right?" The person asking the question was shocked, as it seemed rather unexpected.

Su Jin also knew that she had set the price a little too expensive. In the town, the best quality cotton was only 45 yuan each, while hers was 15 yuan more expensive than theirs.

"Uncle, I have my reasons for making it expensive. Take a look at this cotton thread, this thickness, and this pattern."

She picked up a piece of folded cloth and handed it to the person asking the question, allowing him to consider it for himself.

Su Jin was also confident in the quality of her own cloth. The truth was better than eloquence. Let them see for themselves.

Sure enough, after the uncle carefully analyzed this piece of cloth, he didn't say anything else, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Seeing his expression, how could Su Jin not know about the situation. She immediately hit the iron while it was hot, "My cloth is very hard to make. I only sold it at this market. If I miss it, who knows when the next time will be." As she said this, she took out an intertwined blue and white cloth belt from her basket and said:

"If you buy it now, I can also give you a belt!"

"Sigh, alright." The old man looked at the beautiful belt, his fingers touched the cotton a few more times, then finally gritted his teeth and paid for one.

Su Jin beamed as she took the money from his hands. Without waiting for her to count, the System opened its mouth, "60 coins is just right."

Su Jin was slightly shocked but quickly recovered. She took the money and put it into the bag before handing the cloth over with both hands.

Seeing her straightforward appearance, the uncle felt comfortable in his heart and left after praising her a few times.

Su Jin called out to the guests.

He busied himself for the whole morning and only sold about one-third of it. Most of it was plain cloth. It was noon and everyone was looking for a place to rest. There was less traffic on the street.

Su Jin also felt that her mouth was full of thirst. Seeing that there was a tea stand under a tree in the distance, she walked over and bought a bowl of tea. She then took a break.

"Only one-third." The System chattered in her mind.

"Calm down, I've calculated that with the town's economy, we can digest all these clothes." Su Jin comforted it.

She knew that the System was anxious. It could only maintain its energy for a month. It needed to replenish its gold.

"I'll go to the Pier Market in the afternoon. There will be a lot of people there." After comforting the System for a while, Su Jin began to count the remaining cloth pieces.

"There are twenty-three left, eight with patterns, and fifteen plain cloth." Su Jin pounded on the table, trying to figure out how to sell all these things.

As she knocked on the door, her gaze unconsciously shifted to the street and saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, it's a handsome little landowner. Let's go and try it out and see if we can sell it to him." Su Jin picked up the cloth and left.

The handsome little landowner that she spoke of was the Dai family's young master that she had met that day. Because he was good-looking and the Dai family's only son, he had been addressed by her as such in private.

A good-looking person would always be remembered, especially a good-looking person with a unique temperament. The handsome little landowner belonged to this group, and Su Jin had discovered it the other day. Although he looked gentle and casual, there was a proud and aloof character in him.

No matter what they did, to Su Jin, being able to earn money from him was what she cared about.

Thus, she walked out from the obliquity and blocked his path forward.

"You are —" Dai Zi Shi stopped walking and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.

The girl in front of him was thin and thin, with a sallow complexion, but her features were elegant and heroic. She was wearing the most ordinary clothes of a poor family, yet she stood in front of him without any cowardice. The pair of eyes were black and clear, making it difficult for others to guess what she was thinking, but somehow they seemed somewhat familiar.

"Young master Dai family, was there any problem with the cloth from last time?"

The moment Su Jin opened her mouth, he remembered that the little girl from ten days ago had left a deep impression in his mind. That fearless temperament was exactly the same as the girl in front of him.

Dai Zi Shi thought of the words he had said before, and could not help but smile in his heart, and calmly said: "There is no problem with that batch of cloth."

"Oh." Su Jin nodded her head, she turned around and put down the basket on her back, causing the flowery cloth to appear in front of Dai Zi Shi: "Then, are you interested in looking at these cloths?"

Dai Zi Shi was even more surprised, not to mention now, even in the past, there had never been a person who stopped him from speaking like that, not to mention a girl from a poor family, normally she would be restrained by the gap between the rich and the poor, the poor would not dare to answer him.

This was rather interesting. Dai Zi Wu thought, and looked at the flowery cloth.

"Huh?" With a single glance, he noticed that something was wrong.
