269 kicking the door at midnight

Then, unexpectedly, Ye Jiu added another sentence, "However, although I can't give you mine, there are still many scrap cloths there. You can choose some tomorrow and ask your Sister Qinghua to make them for you. She will agree."

"Mm-hmm." Ye Qingzhi nodded vigorously, her previously dim eyes starting to sparkle again.

Ye Jiu came over and tousled her hair, and then said, "There are also quite a few fabrics in the cupboard. I'll tear off a piece for you later and ask Qinghua to make you two new sets of clothes."

The clothes on Ye Qingzhi's body were very old, handed down from her two older brothers and were already in tatters.

When she had come to the main house, she had only brought two old garments, and the fabric given to her last time was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, it was futile to hope that Mrs. Zhao would make new clothes for her, let alone that they might have even withheld her share of the fabric.
