"You, you, luckily Ye Yun spared you that day, and it was the county magistrate who stepped forward, otherwise you would have offended Ye Yun to death, and Qin Zheng would definitely have spared no effort to deal with you."
Seeing his son's shocked and helpless expression, Mr. Cui shook his head helplessly.
He had heard that Qin Zheng was a man who cared about nothing but his wife, and that he would fight anyone who harmed her.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, Cui Baoxiang's mind came to work, and he slapped his forehead, saying, "Dad, since Old Master Cai's daughter likes Qin Zheng, she should be hoping that Qin Zheng and Ye Yun lose their hearts. How could she possibly help Qin Zheng get revenge for his love rival?"
Mr. Cui couldn't help but roll his eyes.
His son, though he may be considered foolish, actually sees some things quite clearly.
He was intelligent, but unfortunately, he didn't use his ideas for the right things.
Mr. Cui was furious at his daughter's lack of self-respect and said through gritted teeth, "Do you think the daughters of people in high positions of power are as petty and lacking in dignity and backbone as the girls you usually associate with?"
"Alright, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."
Mr. Cui had no intention of talking to Cui Baoxiang any further, as it would be like casting pearls before swine. So he simply instructed him, "Just remember, you must not become enemies with Qin Zheng and Ye Yun; in fact, you should be on good terms with them!"
What the heck?
Qin Zheng and Ye Yun played him for a fool, yet he still wants to befriend them?
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
"Alright, alright, have you said everything important? Our son has been busy all day, let him go and rest first." Cui's mother couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to put her arm around Cui Baoxiang's arm.
While comforting Cui's father, he led Cui Baoxiang upstairs.
Cui Baoxiang was very depressed.
But this was an order given to him by his father, and he dared not disobey it.
Back in his room, he had no choice but to ask Cui's mother, "Mom, could you help me find some gifts?"
Gift?
A look of surprise crossed Cui's mother's face as she asked, puzzled, "Son, you're not asking me to find gifts for those girls you've been seeing outside, are you?"
At this point, her expression suddenly became very serious.
“Son, you can do whatever you want outside, but you can’t do anything reckless. Playing around is fine, but don’t give me gifts or anything like that. You need to know that the person you’re going to marry must be a good girl who is of equal social standing and has good character. You are the son of the winery director, and you can’t disgrace your father.”
"Oh, I know all of that."
Cui Baoxiang didn't want to listen to his mother's nagging, so he waved his hand and pushed his mother out of the room.
He slammed the door shut.
He can clearly distinguish between dating and marriage.
He knew his own limitations.
He was adept at indulging in sensual pleasures, but lacked the ability to manage his family business. Therefore, he needed to marry a virtuous wife who could help him take charge of the household.
...
The following day, after finishing his work in the morning, Qin Zheng accompanied Ye Yun to a nearby department store.
This is what he promised Ye Yun yesterday.
Fortunately, he and Ye Yun made it in time yesterday and only bought a piece of fabric for Xiao Chuqi.
He has an afternoon to buy more things for his family and bring them back tonight.
The department stores in the provincial capital and the county town are vastly different. Both are run by individuals or businesses with contracted counters, but the provincial capital's stores look taller and larger. Some sell clothing, some sell toys, and the division of areas is very clear.
Ye Yun suggested buying a dress for Qin Xiang'e and Ye Xia each, so they went to the clothing section.
When buying clothes for two female elders, one should treat them equally.
As the weather gradually warms up, cotton-padded coats are no longer suitable, so Ye Yun chose a red woolen overcoat for each of them.
After paying the bill at the counter with Qin Zheng, the two walked out of the store. When they passed a small shop, Qin Zheng stopped.
"Honey, what do you think of this?"
Qin Zheng suddenly said.
Ye Yun looked up.
A snow-white fox fur coat hung high on the wall, its fur glossy and unique.
But she only felt uncomfortable.
"Forget it, fur coats are quite expensive, and there's only one, not enough for two elders to share."
The main problem is that fur coats are not very forgiving on certain body types.
Fur is too luxurious, but not everyone can pull off that luxurious feel.
Her mother was alright. Having been with Mu Jingsheng for so many years, she had lived a life of luxury, never lifting a finger, and had fair and delicate skin, which allowed her to naturally exude the air of a noblewoman in fur coats.
But Qin Xiang'e couldn't do it.
They spend most of their time farming in the mountains, exposed to wind and rain every day, resulting in dark skin and a hunched posture. Wearing a snow-white fur coat would actually look out of place for them.
Of course, she couldn't say these things aloud.
No matter what, Qin Xiang'e is still Qin Zheng's aunt, and the reason she has become like this is because she has always sacrificed for this family.
She had already bought clothes for the two elders; the red color was festive and suited Qin Xiang'e very well.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng smiled.
"Honey, who said it was for them? This is what I wanted to buy for you."
"What?"
Ye Yun was speechless. Why did he suddenly think of buying her clothes?
"Excuse me, could you please carry this for me?"
While she was still in a daze, Qin Zheng had already raised his hand and pointed to the snow-white fur on the wall, calling out to the shop owner.
The proprietress was a woman in her forties.
With her eyebrows drawn and eyes painted, and bright red lips, she was chatting with someone while eating sunflower seeds, looking furious as if she were talking badly about the saleswoman at the state-owned store next door.
Turning his head, he saw Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, dressed in fine clothes, standing at the door.
"Oh, boss, buying clothes?"
The proprietress's face was immediately filled with smiles, and she became exceptionally enthusiastic, pulling Qin Zheng's arm and leading him into the shop.
