Fang Xiaohui rushed off to the Song family as soon as she left the house.
She wouldn't let things get out of hand.
Her parents weren't the kind to be protective over their daughter.
Besides, she wasn't their biological daughter.
People have to fend for themselves, or face ruin.
...
Jiang Xiaoxiao followed Fan Xiuying to shop.
A big bag of goods.
They bought over ten pounds of cotton alone.
Their family had run out of cotton ration tickets, and this was after Fan Xiuying borrowed several of them.
"Mom, that's enough, it's almost too much. Don't buy the washbasins, hot water bottles, and such. I can't carry them on the way, especially if the hot bottle gets damaged, it'll be useless. I'd rather buy it at the village. Even if the village is poor, they must have a supply and sales cooperative."
She was exhausted.
Her mom wanted to practically move an entire cooperative home, and she could only resign herself to the soaps, shampoos, and such.
