The weather was turning cold, and Gu Zi felt it was time to prepare for the winter necessities at home. She walked over and squatted down to make her selection.
The stall owner, who had been waiting for a customer, spoke enthusiastically to Gu Zi. She said that all the items were hand-made by her and her mother, comfortable and durable, and could be tried on the spot.
Gu Zi declined the offer to try them on, expressing her faith in the stall owner's craftsmanship.
The stall owner was delighted by her words and immediately offered a discount, "Young lady, I've never seen such a beautiful and kind-hearted person like you. Since you're trusting me like this, I'll give you a discount. The pair that costs four will be sold to you for three and eight."
Gu Zi agreed, stating her shoe size and the sizes for the children. She ended up buying a pair of bear-headed cotton shoes for herself, dog-headed ones for the two boys, and rabbit-headed ones for little Lele.
