After much thought,
Su Yunjin felt that she still needed to go to the market to buy a birthday gift for Lord Gu Chengxiang. As for what to buy? After pondering, she decided to purchase fabric.
She would buy a whole bolt of cloth to give to her father-in-law.
Mrs. An was skilled in sewing; a whole bolt of cloth would be quite appropriate for her father-in-law, suitable for making clothes or robes, and the leftover scraps could also be used to make shoes.
Having decided to give a bolt of cloth to Lord Gu Chengxiang,
Yunjin told Gu Ya about her plan, "Husband, for father's birthday, I want to give him a bolt of cloth, what do you think of this idea?"
As a man, Gu Ya was clueless about what to give for a birthday gift—such trivial matters were beyond him. When his little wife suggested giving fabric, he also thought it was a good idea.
"Yunjin, when do you plan to go to the market to buy it? Shall I accompany you?"
