Chapter 15 Preparing a Dowry



Lin Xiangyi didn't care. Salespeople these days were all very arrogant. She was lucky to meet someone with a good attitude, but it was normal to meet someone with a bad attitude.

"Well, take it down for me. I'll see if it's my size. If it is, I'll take it," said Lin Xiangyi.

The salesperson stood up straight in surprise. This pair of jeans has been hanging here for several days. The fit is good and the style is novel. Several groups of people come to ask about them every day, but no one buys them.

Even the female comrades who were really interested in it would leave after standing there hesitating for a long time.

The salesperson could understand them. Most people only earned 30 or 40 yuan, and a pair of pants would cost nearly a month's salary. It was normal for them to feel reluctant.

But if you receive too many people like this, you will inevitably become impatient.

Although she had seen people as straightforward as Lin Xiangyi, there were not many of them compared to the guests she received every day.

The salesperson's attitude finally improved. He took the jeans off and handed them to Lin Xiangyi: "Although you can't try them on, you can compare them. Take a look. I think they are quite suitable for you."

Lin Xiangyi lowered her head and compared it to herself. Seeing that it was indeed her size, she handed the pants to the salesperson: "Then please pack them for me."

Salesperson: “…” So straightforward?

“After the sale, there is no refund or exchange, so you have to think carefully about it,” she emphasized.

"I know," Lin Xiangyi said. It was not convenient for her to return or exchange the product. It was a two-hour drive from the county town.

"By the way, do all the clothes here require cloth coupons or is it just this pair of jeans that doesn't require cloth coupons?" Lin Xiangyi asked, looking around the clothes in the store.

The clothes in this store are quite nice. If she didn’t need to use cloth coupons, she would buy two more if she saw something she liked.

Although her father did not give Lin Huihui money to buy daily necessities, he should have given her tickets. Among the tickets given to her today, there were very few cloth coupons.

She also wanted to save some money to buy bed sheets and other things, so she could save as much as possible.

"No need for that," the salesperson quickly responded when he heard there was still hope.

Although their sales staff do not have performance requirements and can generally digest unsold items internally, the price they get for such expensive jeans like these is not cheap.

Of course it’s better to sell it if it can be sold.

Lin Xiangyi's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Then I'll take another look!"

"Comrade, I think this white shirt will suit you, too." The salesman put down his jeans, turned around and took out a white shirt from a pile of clothes hanging on the shelf. "It goes very well with these jeans. There are many people your age in the city who wear this. It looks great. Nineteen dollars."

Lin Xiangyi took it and took a look. It was a loose and lazy white shirt, a style that was not picky about body shape and it really matched the jeans she had just worn.

"Seventeen dollars, I want it," Lin Xiangyi said at a flat price.

If Lin Xiangyi had bargained as soon as she arrived, the salesperson would have definitely sulked her and chased her away, but now, she looked at Lin Xiangyi with a reproachful look: "We don't allow bargaining here, and you're bargaining so much..."

Lin Xiangyi just tried it out, and from the tone of her voice, it seemed that she could still bargain.

She immediately smiled and said coquettishly, "Oh, it's not much, just two dollars. I didn't bargain for the jeans, right? Sister, you are beautiful and kind, will you agree? If you agree, I will also have the white and blue plaid skirt behind you."

The saleswoman is already in her forties, old enough to be Lin Xiangyi's mother, but Lin Xiangyi actually calls her a beautiful and kind sister!

There is no one who doesn't like to be praised. The salesperson was grinning from ear to ear. Following Lin Xiangyi's gaze, she saw that the skirt was a type of braid that was very popular more than ten years ago and has recently become popular again.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you," the salesman said, smiling as he took down the bra. "This bra costs twenty-one dollars."

"Twenty yuan," Lin Xiangyi said, "Buy three and it's three yuan cheaper, just right."

Salesperson: “…”

"If I refuse, will you not buy it?" she asked unhappily.

"That's impossible!" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "But I know you will definitely agree."

The salesperson was amused by Lin Xiangyi again. He took a cloth bag and wrapped up the clothes that Lin Xiangyi wanted. He said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'm willing to give you a discount now that I've met you. I'll give you a total discount of three dollars, okay?"

"Yes, yes, of course I can do it. Thank you, sister," Lin Xiangyi said happily, "Then the total is..."

"Sixty-five dollars," a male voice took over her words.

Lin Xiangyi turned to look at Xie Qingxiao. She was so engrossed in shopping for clothes that she almost forgot that her cheap fiancé came with her today.

Xie Qingxiao had just been watching Lin Xiangyi bargaining with the salesperson, and felt that the one he knew before was a fake version of her.

When it was time to pay, he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

"No, I can do it myself," Lin Xiangyi quickly pushed his hand back.

Although Xie Qingxiao had been telling her all along today that they were going to get married soon and that they didn't need to be so fussy about it.

But they haven't gotten married yet after all, and more than 60 yuan is not a small amount of money. She feels comfortable spending her father's money, but is embarrassed to spend Xie Qingxiao's.

She stood in front of Xie Qingxiao, and Xie Qingxiao's hand went around her and handed it to the salesperson, frowning and saying, "You are my wife, what's wrong with me buying you two sets of clothes?"

"But we haven't gotten married yet, and this is my dowry. What's the point of you paying me?" Lin Xiangyi said, counting out seven big unity notes and putting them directly on the counter. She turned around and grabbed the money in Xie Qingxiao's hand with both hands, and said to the salesperson, "Just use mine."

Xie Qingxiao: "..."

The salesperson was a little surprised, as she thought the two were already married.

Just now when Lin Xiangyi was choosing clothes, she noticed that Xie Qingxiao had been looking at her from behind, and that look...tsk tsk tsk.

But they both have good sense...

The salesperson smiled, picked up the money Lin Xiangyi had put on the counter, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to use the man's money before marriage, but, young man, you can keep it. When you get married, can't you just give all the money to your wife?"

"That's fine," Lin Xiangyi said.

There will be many places to spend money after marriage, and she is pregnant. Even if Xie Qingxiao doesn't say anything, she won't be polite to him.

Xie Qingxiao then gave up.

The salesperson gave Lin Xiangyi the change, and Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi left with the clothes.

"Do you like wearing skirts?" Xie Qingxiao asked.

"I like it," Lin Xiangyi said. Who doesn't like to dress up beautifully?

Xie Qingxiao seemed to be thinking about something.
