Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...

Chapter 376 Shopping Spree at the Department Store

Gu Yunze was very unhappy that he didn't get a perfect score.

Lin Yu patted his chest and said, "I didn't give you a perfect score because I was afraid you would get too proud. I hope you can keep up the good work and see room for improvement."

Gu Yunze was persuaded, and he felt he could continue his efforts, but then, remembering something, he said to Lin Yu:

"Xiaoyu, I plan to return to the team after the New Year."

There was an unspoken understanding between the two of them, and Lin Yu naturally understood what he meant.

Once I return to the military, I won't have as much time to go home anymore.

Perhaps we will be given even more challenging tasks.

Since Lin Yu decided to become a military dependent, she had already mentally prepared herself.

The point of going out shopping is to have fun, so Lin Yu said with a smile, "Go back to the team, go back to the team. You need to have a job to earn money to support your family, otherwise you won't get 99 points."

Gu Yunze smiled and said, "Yes, I will work hard and give you all my salary."

As soon as Gu Yunze got married, he gave all his savings to Lin Yu.

Besides his salary, his savings account also contained bonuses and subsidies for participating in various tasks, totaling a full ten thousand yuan.

In this day and age, ten thousand yuan is a lot of money.

This money could buy three houses in the north of the city.

Although Lin Yu knew that house prices would rise in the future, she did not want to hoard real estate.

She now has a house as part of her dowry, and she can buy another one later to leave to her children.

I won't buy anything else.

She wants to use the money in more meaningful ways.

Once you've earned enough money to live comfortably in your lifetime, you should start thinking about what you can do for others.

Besides Gu Yunze's money, Lin Yu's own savings over the years, plus the money she made from doing business during the summer vacation, now amount to nearly 30,000 yuan.

Because she had this money, she bought things without hesitation.

I spent over two hundred yuan on two sets of skincare products.

I also bought two sets of clothes for each of the elders in the Lin family and the parents in the Gu family. They were all brand-name items from the mall and were not cheap.

It cost more than 500 yuan.

Gu Yunze was shocked to see Lin Yu spending money.

He realized for the first time that money could be spent so quickly.

His monthly salary plus bonus is only two or three hundred yuan, which is already considered a high income.

But Lin Yu spent three or four months' salary in just a short time!

Gu Yunze couldn't help but think that he still had to work harder. With Lin Yu spending money like that, what else could he do but earn more?

That wasn't the end of it; Lin Yu then dragged him to another store.

This time, they bought even more clothes, and all of them were for the two of them to buy themselves.

Gu Yunze quickly refused, saying, "I don't need to buy clothes. I wear my uniform every day, so I don't have a chance to wear them."

How could Lin Yu not see the heartache in his eyes? This man doesn't even blink when it comes to spending money on his parents.

Now that it's my turn, I'm trying to save as much as possible.

Lin Yu said "Oh," and asked, "Should I buy it?"

Gu Yunze said without hesitation, "Buy it! I think this dress is pretty and suits you, this outfit is nice too, and these shoes are pretty too..."

He imagined how beautiful Lin Yu would look in these clothes.

Lin Yu was satisfied and said with a smile, "Then I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she picked up a dress and went into the dressing room.

When she came out, she pulled her skirt up and twirled in front of Gu Yunze: "Does it look good?"

Gu Yunze stared wide-eyed, then stood up and said, "It's beautiful! I'll buy it."

Lin Yu told him to wait, and then took an outfit from the men's clothing section, saying, "This outfit is the same color as mine. If we wear it out, people will immediately recognize us as a couple. Do you want to try it on?"

Gu Yunze originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the words, "They look like a couple."

If you ask him what he fears most, isn't it that he's often away from home and other sleazy men are eyeing his wife?

If they wore matching clothes and walked down the street, everyone would immediately recognize them as a family.

Why not just label them early on?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Seeing him carry the clothes inside, Lin Yu secretly smiled.

Don't worry about why he does it, as long as he's willing to buy new clothes.

Lin Yu's words weren't untrue. She wore fashionable new clothes, while Gu Yunze wore an old military uniform. What would that look like?

Moreover, Gu Yunze wears his military uniform every day; even if Lin Yu likes it, she'll get tired of it eventually.

She wanted to dress him up to be fashionable and handsome, so that when they went out together, they would look like a couple.

Gu Yunze was tall and had a muscular build, looking slim in clothes but muscular underneath. When Lin Yu put the clothes on him, he looked even better.

She pulled Gu Yunze to stand in front of the mirror and said, "Look, don't we look like a couple now?"

Looking at the two people in the mirror, Gu Yunze's initial heartache turned into affection.

He nodded and said, "Okay, let's buy this one."

......

When the two came out of the clothing store, they had several more bags in their hands.

Lin Yu bought three sets of clothes for each of them, and even matched shoes.

Seeing that she had spent another three hundred yuan, Gu Yunze was even more worried that the family would not have enough money to eat.

As Lin Yu walked, she told him, "It's not like we buy this much every day. We only buy it once a year. Besides, we still have money."

She rolled her eyes: "Don't be so stingy, it's only a thousand."

Gu Yunze dared not refute. Although he had more than 10,000 yuan in savings, 1,000 yuan seemed like a small amount, but it was several months' salary for him.

Lin Yu described it as nothing more than a few cents, and he was shocked by her extravagant spending.

Lin Yu rolled her eyes: "Alright, we're really rich, let's talk about it when we get home."

Gu Yunze had no choice but to carry several large bags of things and follow them home.

When Li Huizhu saw that they brought back so many things, she thought they were moving house.

"Is there anything Xiaoyu forgot to bring? Should we drive to get it?"

Gu Yunze knew that his mother wouldn't dare to think about buying it.

He gestured to Lin Yu, wanting her to speak.

Lin Yu deliberately avoided looking at him, her eyes fixed on the sky, waiting for Gu Yunze to speak first.

Gu Yunze sighed helplessly. What could he do?

So he said to Li Huizhu, "Mom, it's not Xiaoyu's luggage, it's what we bought."

Li Huizhu's smile froze, and she pointed at the pile of things, asking, "These, all of these, were bought with money?"

Gu Yunze gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, I bought it."

Li Huizhu's eyes nearly popped out as she stood up and searched for something.

Seeing her in such a hurry, Gu Henglin asked, "What are you looking for?"

"A feather duster!"

The two almost got a beating from their mother, but luckily the feather duster was temporarily gone, so Li Huizhu didn't have any suitable tools.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Yu grabbed Li Huizhu and said ingratiatingly, "Mom, dear Mom, we bought these things to show our respect to our elders. Would you like to know what they are?"
