Mother Jiang stood up and said nervously and expectantly, “Then I’ll go?”
Mother Liu quickly sent her out and urged, “Go, go. Come to my place to eat after you’ve asked!”
Mother Jiang said ‘eh’, said goodbye, and left nervously.
Mother Liu looked at her back and smiled, then went back to work.

Just like that, Mother Jiang slowly walked to a shop that Mother Liu said she wanted to sell. This shop sold furniture, and there were a few craftsmen working on the cabinets.
Seeing so many people, Mother Jiang stopped walking and hesitated outside the door.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she closed her eyes and rushed in.
When the carpenter saw her rushing in, he asked in surprise, “Madam, what’s the matter? Do you want to buy furniture?”
When Mother Jiang saw that a few pairs of eyes were looking at her, she felt a hint of regret. She was so nervous that she could not speak. “I, I…”
The carpenter comforted her, “If there’s anything, tell me slowly. There’s no rush.”
Seeing that the carpenter was so kind, Mother Jiang’s nervous heart slowly relaxed a little, but she still did not dare to speak. She stuttered for a long time.
The carpenter asked kindly, “Do you want to buy something? A table, chair, or screen? We can do it here.”
Hearing his question, Mother Jian became nervous again. She pointed at it casually and said, “I want that.”
After saying that, she looked at the thing she pointed at and regretted it again.
The carpenter followed the direction of her finger and found that it was a bookshelf.

Hearing his explanation, Mother Jian also carefully looked at the bookshelf. The workmanship of the bookshelf was very good. It was tightly sewn together and looked very sturdy. The thickness of the wood was uniform, and it was polished to the point that there was not a single hair on it.
She remembered that Xiao Hu and the others did not have a bookshelf yet. Usually, the books were placed on the table, and big sister did not have one either. The bookshelf could not only store books but also other things.
Looking at it, she could not help but think of buying a bookshelf for a few small ones. The main reason was that the workmanship of the bookshelf was very good and it made her heart beat faster.
Mother Jian was not afraid of buying things. She forgot to be nervous and started to talk to the boss.
“Boss, how much does it cost to order a bookshelf like this? How long does it take to make it?”
The Boss smiled and replied, “That depends on what kind of wood it is. The wood used for this is average. If it is this big, it will cost three taels of silver. There are even better pieces of wood that are five taels of silver, ten taels of silver. Of course, the better the bookshelf, the longer it takes to polish it. This is not certain. What price does Madam want?”
Mother Jiang thought about it carefully for a while. Xiao Hu and the others’ bookshelves could mainly hold more books, so they needed more plaid. If the Big Sister was a lady, it would be good to put some accessories on the shelves, the plaid had to be made bigger, mainly to look good. It seemed that the best kind of wood was needed.
She smiled and said, “I want two shelves. The wood has to be the most expensive kind, and one shelf has to be made…”
Mother Jian carefully explained the requirements to the carpenter, so fascinated that she almost forgot what she was here for.
