How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 37: Clothing Dispute, Eldest Aunt Faces Humiliation

Pei Shu’er smiled at him, "Thank you, then please bring it to the third house."

Lin Yu’s ears turned red, and he let out a low "hmm" sound.

Tang Zan stood in place, his aura extremely low.

Lin Yu was a trusted aide under his father’s command, always indifferent to any woman, never so cautious around one.

Tang Zan was extremely frustrated, as if he had a breath stuck in his chest that couldn’t go up or down.

His heir’s wife truly knows how to maneuver.

When Pei Shu’er opened the package and took out the contents, the people of the third house had surprised and wide-open eyes.

Even though the Tang Family had some unpleasantness with the third house, the resources were too enticing, and they couldn’t help but come over to look.

Other exiled people also struggled to come over to look.

Upon seeing it, they were a bit stunned.

The larger package was tightly bound, but it was obvious they were clothes and even quilts.

Everyone even saw iron pots and spatulas, as well as bone knives.

This... this is simply outrageous.

Pei Shu’er took out the cotton-padded clothes and quilts, then closed the package again.

She couldn’t let everyone see what was inside the package specifically; otherwise, it would be inconvenient to take things out of the space in the future.

The Tang Family members all had joyful expressions on their faces, knowing well that two Tangs couldn’t be written with one stroke, they naturally had a share in this.

However, no one had the nerve to first ask for the cotton clothes to be distributed.

It was Old Madam Tang who was straightforward, "I know it wasn’t easy for Shu’er on this trip, and she must have spent quite a bit on arrangements. If everyone wants cotton clothes, they should give Shu’er two taels of silver per set. Three taels for fox fur, and 500 wen for shoes."

Mrs. Li coughed while sarcastically speaking on the side.

"Mother, we are all one family, how can we be so divided? Shu’er is so kind, and everyone is part of the Tang Family, so of course, the items should be shared together."

Pei Shu’er coldly laughed inside, knowing that Mrs. Li was just trying to take advantage.

But she believed that among the Tang Family, there were still clear-headed people.

Sure enough, Tang Peiyi spoke up, "We were well taken care of by Shu’er on the way, otherwise we wouldn’t have made it here."

"These items Shu’er bought and brought back must have taken a lot of effort. Even if she didn’t sell it to us, selling to other exiles, these life-saving cotton clothes could fetch five taels of silver."

"We can’t always take Shu’er’s kindness for granted, or even mock her sarcastically."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people of the first house.

After he finished, he neatly pulled out 30 taels of silver, took three sets of cotton-padded clothes, six pairs of appropriately sized shoes, and three fox furs.

The extra money was considered a hardship fee for Pei Shu’er.

He put the clothes on Tang Tuo and Ma.

Immediately, the people of the fourth house felt warm, letting out a long breath.

Tang Peixiao cheerfully took out money for the second house, picked a fitting set of cotton-padded clothes and pants to wear, and selected a fox fur, feeling that the piercing cold had finally disappeared.

The people of the second house hurried over to pick clothes, and when they finished choosing their clothes,

the people of the first house knew they couldn’t take advantage of Pei Shu’er, and while cursing Pei Shu’er for being stingy, reluctantly took out money to buy clothes, also thinking if they could haggle down the price.

She wanted to secure it at the lowest price, to make Pei Shu’er suffer.

But when she walked over to look, she found that apart from quilts and shoes, and a few pieces of children’s cotton clothing, there were no more cotton-padded clothes.

She wanted to buy a quilt, but Pei Shu’er shook her head, "Aunt, the quilts are for us to cover."

Her face turned ugly, feeling she was being played, she glared fiercely at Pei Shu’er.

"Pei Shu’er, are you deliberately making things difficult for our first house? You, a junior, are actually scheming against your elders."

The exiles were originally doing their own things, but with Mrs. Li’s words, they too were drawn to the scene, turning their attention towards it.

Pei Shu’er looked innocent, her face full of bewilderment.

"Aunt, your accusations are unreasonable. Everyone came here to pick out cotton clothes, and you didn’t want to come over. In such cold weather, you know how sought-after these items are."

The implication was, Aunt, what are you acting so high and mighty for?

Others also enviously said, "That’s right, we don’t even have the qualifications. If we did, we would have snatched all the clothes long ago; even two taels of silver would seem expensive."

"You are just the Tang Family’s main family folks; otherwise, you wouldn’t even have the right to fight for cotton clothes."

"Truly ungrateful."

It’s known that getting a bit of salt from a government officer starts at five taels of silver; as for these cotton clothes, you couldn’t dream of less than ten taels.

In this cold weather, it would cost even more.

Because they are in high demand.

Facing everyone’s accusations, Mrs. Li held back her anger, pointing at the few pieces of cotton clothing in Pei Shu’er’s hand.

"Give me the clothes in your hand, and I’ll pay you for them."

Pei Shu’er shook her head, "Aunt, these are for our third house, and everyone has already chosen."

Mrs. Li became angry, her voice raising unconsciously.

"Our first house doesn’t even have a single piece of cotton clothing; are you deliberately trying to freeze us to death?"

Pei Shu’er looked innocent and hurt, "Aunt, how could you think that of me."

"If we from the third house don’t have clothes to wear, then we would be the ones freezing to death."

"Aunt, I was the one who went out to purchase these items; do you know how much I suffered to procure them? Could it be I don’t even have the right to choose?"

"Everything has its order; I believe you are someone who understands etiquette and rules. After all, I didn’t prevent you from coming to choose clothes, did I?"

Pei Shu’er spoke softly and mildly, causing Mrs. Li to swallow her anger, leaving in fury and looking for ways to take revenge on Pei Shu’er later.

At the same time, she plotted to find a way to make Pei Shu’er suffer a setback later on.

Tang Peilin was freezing harshly, seeing the warm rosy cheeks on others’ faces while their first house was still shivering. Already weakened, it became even more unbearable.

He angrily kicked Mrs. Li, causing her to fall into the muddy dirt, shaking with cold immediately.

She pitifully called out, "Husband."

Tang Peilin angrily said, "You big-mouthed woman, why don’t you just take a few items first? Now look, our entire family has to suffer from the cold."

If they got closer to Gulan Mountain, the colder it would get on the way.

Mrs. Li wanted to defend herself, but Tang Peilin was shivering so much from the cold that he couldn’t be bothered to listen to her.

After kicking her, he was too weak to speak, laying back down, gasping for breath like a fish out of water.

Mrs. Li was also unbearably cold, hugging Tang Qinghua tight, still shivering as if they would freeze stiff.

Tang Qinghua also blamed Mrs. Li, "Mother, if you’d grabbed the cotton clothes first and then talked, we wouldn’t have suffered like this."

Originally, the first house wasn’t suffering as much, since everyone was cold.

But seeing the other Tang Family members warm, the cold that was bearable suddenly seemed to penetrate everywhere.

No one else even glanced over there; the first house had already infuriated everyone. If they died one day, everyone would celebrate with drinks.
