During this period, Pingying was busy doing business and in her spare time, she rushed to make two sets of clothes for Zhiyong. She and Fang Xiu hadn't even had the chance to make their own clothes.
Fang Xiu kept blaming her, complaining that she favored Honglan, having time to make clothes for Honglan but claiming to have no time for her. She said that even if Pingying made clothes for her now, she wouldn't be able to wear them since the season had passed, and wearing a single layer would be too cold.
Indeed, Pingying had overlooked this matter; initially, she had promised to make clothes for her as long as Fang Xiu provided the fabric.
Therefore, Pingying agreed to let her go to the town to buy half a pound of cotton and make her a cotton waistcoat for winter, which could be worn for a longer time throughout the year.
Fang Xiu agreed, and not long ago she immediately bought the cotton and asked Pingying to make it.
