Chapter 048: Take the Fight to Their Doorstep?

Mrs. Chen understood the implications of Third Grandpa's words, but she pretended to be confused and shook the old cotton clothes in her hand, exclaiming, "Back in our hometown, making a new set of cotton clothes would only cost a hundred or so large money, but why does it cost five hundred large money here in Yuchang Prefecture? Five hundred large money, Third Uncle, that's equivalent to the harvest from one acre of our land, exchanging one acre's harvest for an old cotton coat, isn't that swindling people?"

These old cotton clothes had been washed several times already, the cotton inside had clumped together and were nowhere near as warm as new cotton clothes.

The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more pain she felt, the more indignant she became: "No, we can't accept these old cotton clothes, we'll take them back and exchange them for better ones. If they refuse to exchange, we'll confront them about it."
