CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 078 THIS BLOW IS INDEED SEVERE.

The shopkeeper’s wife was just about to speak when the shopkeeper lightly coughed and kept signaling her with his eyes.

The shopkeeper’s wife smiled awkwardly, "It’s nothing."

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Li Yuzhu said to the Great Princess and the Second Princess, "I didn’t find the fabric I wanted here. Shall we check out another place?"

Coarse cloth, this kind of cheap material, should be available everywhere.

The Great Princess nodded, "Alright."

The Second Princess never liked to think much; she just did whatever her sisters were doing.

The three sisters put down the fabric they had picked and turned to leave together.

The shopkeeper’s wife panicked and quickly grabbed them, "Hey, young ladies, don’t go. Our fabric selection is larger than others, and the prices are quite fair."

As she spoke, she glared at her husband.

Li Yuzhu noticed her expression and said calmly, "Really? Would you sell it for a little cheaper?"

"Of course, of course," the shopkeeper’s wife said with a wide smile.

"Alright, then I’ll buy some." Li Yuzhu nodded and walked back. She glanced at the shopkeeper’s wife and said, "Just now, you mentioned the Chai sisters. What’s going on with them?"

The shopkeeper’s wife, wanting to do business, reluctantly said, "The two older Chai girls ruined Miss Chai’s marriage, and now the three sisters are like enemies."

Li Yuzhu was surprised, "The two sisters stole Miss Chai’s man? Did they marry Miss Chai’s fiancé?"

"No," the shopkeeper’s wife shook her head and whispered, "Miss Chai hasn’t been feeling well recently and is taking medicine, so the elder sister claimed that Miss Chai surely won’t be able to have children in the future."

"..."

"When Miss Chai’s fiancé’s family heard this, they wanted to call off the engagement. But the fiancé’s family is wealthy, and the Chai family didn’t want to miss this opportunity, so they let the second sister marry him instead."

"..."

"Miss Chai was so angry that she fell ill completely. Now she’s so thin she’s unrecognizable, and it’s said that she makes a scene at home every day."

The Great Princess scoffed lightly, "Just a man, if he’s gone, he’s gone. What’s there to be upset about? Without this one, aren’t there other men?"

The Great Princess was once a leading figure among the noble girls in the capital. Possessing beauty and talent, and being of noble status, she was never short of admirers from childhood to adulthood.

If someone didn’t love her, she never cared.

She had faith in her own abilities to attract even better suitors.

Upon learning of Miss Chai’s actions, she couldn’t understand and immediately scoffed.

But the shopkeeper’s wife said, "For most arranged marriage men, if they’re gone, they’re gone. But this one was Miss Chai’s childhood sweetheart. They knew each other from a young age."

"What? A childhood sweetheart turned heartless?" The Great Princess widened her eyes, "Miss Chai is indeed unfortunate."

Li Yuzhu also sighed, "That’s quite a blow."

When thyroid issues are present, coupled with significant emotional stress, the illness can indeed worsen.

Though thyroid dysfunction is a physical problem, external factors are also an important part of the causes.

Even after the illness is cured, psychological intervention is needed to prevent a relapse.

The three sisters thought about the Chai family’s situation and couldn’t help but sigh.

They each bought a few yards of white muslin and cotton, along with some coarse cloth, fine cloth, and sewing supplies.

Everyone’s clothing was too scarce, so they bought some fabric to make clothes.

Ready-made clothes were also sold at the market, but they were expensive, and they couldn’t afford them at the moment.

Leaving the fabric shop, Li Yuzhu saw a servant from the Chai family, pulling a man who looked like a doctor, hurrying towards the Chai family’s direction.
