Chapter 292 They really are willing to spend that much.

At the same time, Li Chunhua was standing at the door of Chen Jianmin and his wife's house, knocking on the door: "Fifth sister-in-law, I need to talk to you."

"They're here."

A voice responded from inside, and soon the wooden door opened from the inside, immediately releasing a floral fragrance that wafted onto her face.

Liu Lanzhi, her pregnant belly quite prominent, put one hand on her hip and the other on the door frame, and asked, "Third Sister-in-law? Is something the matter?"

Li Chunhua gave a fawning smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you know tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when wives go back to their parents' home. But my coat got dirty by Xiaobao. Could you lend me a new coat to wear?"

She didn't want to go back home during the Lunar New Year wearing a patched coat and be embarrassed!

The fifth brother and sister-in-law were the only ones in the family with many new clothes.

Anyway, she's heavily pregnant now and can't wear her old clothes anymore, so I might as well lend them to myself to save face and avoid being laughed at by people from my maternal commune.

"Alright! Third Sister-in-law, come in and get it." Liu Lanzhi nodded generously, turned around and took a few steps inside, beckoning her to come in.

As a woman herself, she understood Li Chunhua's thoughts. Every married daughter wanted to wear new clothes and look beautiful when she went to her parents' home to pay New Year's visits.

It also lets the bride's family see that she is doing well in her husband's family, so they can put their minds at ease.

She walked to the wooden wardrobe and took out a new dress that she hadn't worn many times: "What do you think of this one?"

When she got married, her parents specially bought two bolts of cloth and made her two new outfits for all four seasons, so that she could at least change them.

Li Chunhua glanced at the clothes; they were floral cotton-padded jackets made of Dacron fabric. She immediately nodded happily and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Her eyes darted around, taking in her surroundings, before finally settling on the open jar of snow cream on the nearby cabinet.

She smelled the scent at the door just now; it was coming from Liu Lanzhi. She must have just applied face cream again.

Li Chunhua looked Liu Lanzhi up and down, her face was radiant and her skin was so good it made people jealous!

It must be because I've been applying snow cream all the time.

They really spared no expense!

Li Chunhua felt both sour and jealous.

She walked to the cabinet and saw the lipstick and eyebrow pencil next to it. She said, "Sister-in-law, you smell so good. You must have applied snow cream! Snow cream is a very precious thing. I've only ever smelled it. And this lipstick and eyebrow pencil, I've lived for so many years and I've never even seen them, let alone used them. Before I got married, my family didn't treat their daughter like a human being."

Li Chunhua feigned distress and pity: "After marrying into the Chen family, and with my mother-in-law keeping me in check, I have no chance to dress up. Anyway, you're pregnant now, so you can't use this lipstick and eyebrow pencil. Can I borrow them?"

Towards the end, her tone became matter-of-fact.

I can't wear makeup because I'm pregnant, and I don't need it anymore. It's a waste to leave it there, so I might as well borrow it and use it myself. That way, I can remember some of her kindness.

Although Liu Lanzhi was generous, she wouldn't lend such a precious item to someone else. She directly refused, saying, "Third Sister-in-law, you are prettier than me. You look good even without makeup. We have to get up early to travel tomorrow morning. I'm so sleepy that I can't keep my eyelids open. Third Sister-in-law, you should go back and get some sleep too."

Second sister-in-law is right. Third sister-in-law is indeed someone who is good at taking advantage of others and speaks without thinking in order to get something in return.

Even if you told your own family about what your mother-in-law did, they would still praise her.
