Chapter 208: Pretending to be a Rich Man (Page 1/2)
The child only comes back a few times a year, so why bother arguing in front of him?
It affects mood and emotions.
Since Chen Baomei had spoken, Shen Ru and Jiang Tianming had no choice but to shut up.
But the more Shen Ru thought about it, the angrier she became.
After sending Jiang Qiqi into the waiting room, Shen Ru turned around and stepped hard on Jiang Tianming.
The thin high heels stomped on the soles of Jiang Tianming's feet, causing him to bend over and hug his feet, crying out in pain.
Looking at his two little fingers that were bent involuntarily, Chen Baomei turned her eyes away in disgust.
Shen Ru pouted and called him a sissy.
"You still want me to remarry you, but you don't even consider whether you have the ability to do that. What's the difference between remarrying you and being a widow? It's better for us to become sworn sisters right here and now!"
Chen Baomei quickly covered Niu Niu's ears and took her away first.
Let them argue among themselves in the back, they left first.
The holiday is over and school is about to start.
Chen Baomei took Niu Niu to the mall and bought her some new clothes.
This child grows very fast and is still growing taller even though he is in high school.
The clothes I bought last year are much shorter this year.
Chen Baomei wanted to take her shopping but she refused, insisting that it was okay for summer clothes to be shorter, and that long pants could be turned into cropped pants, which would also look good.
Chen Baomei let herself stay at home during the summer vacation, but now she is going to school soon, so she must buy a few sets of clothes that fit her.
Niu Niu likes casual sportswear, and Chen Baomei is familiar with the place, so she picked a more famous sports brand to go in.
"How about this one? Want to try it on?"
"Well enough."
Chen Baomei picked out a few more pieces for her and asked her to take them to the fitting room to try them on.
Niu Niu was not picky. She took the clothes and went to the fitting room to try them on.
When the grandparents and grandchildren walked to the door of the fitting rooms, they saw Wu's mother standing in front of one of the fitting rooms.
When she saw Chen Baomei and Niuniu, her eyes lit up.
"Oh, Niuniu, what a coincidence, you're here to buy clothes too! I brought your brother out to buy clothes, and he's trying on clothes inside."
Niu Niu said "oh" coldly, without saying anything to her, and walked past her to the innermost fitting room.
When Niu Niu went in, the smile on Wu's mother's face froze and she snorted coldly at Chen Baomei.
Chen Baomei didn't bother to pay attention to her. She went to pick out two pairs of sneakers for Niu Niu and waited for her to come out and try them on.
After a while, Wu Hui came out of the fitting room.
He was a little surprised to see Chen Baomei.
After hesitating for a while, he called out "Grandma".
Chen Baomei acted as if she didn't hear him and was too lazy to respond.
Chen Baomei didn't respond, and Wu Hui felt a little embarrassed and a little angry.
He casually threw the clothes he was trying on to Wu's mother and said, "Grandma, I want these two. You go and pay for them."
Mother Wu smiled and said, "Okay, grandma will buy it for you."
She asked the shopping guide about the price and heard that just two short-sleeved shirts cost more than four hundred yuan. The smile on Wu's mother's face could not be stopped.
"Waiter, isn't this discounted?"
The shopping guide replied to her, "This is the price after the discount."
"That's too expensive. A short-sleeved shirt costs over two hundred yuan, and it's not made of gold."
This price was nothing to her before, but it’s different now.
Her pension is okay, but she has to take care of her own life. She has to give pocket money to her daughter and husband in prison every month, and she has to take out some money from time to time to win over her grandson, which makes her feel stressed.
"For this kind of material, it's definitely not worth the price. How about a little cheaper, three hundred yuan?"
The other party said: "Auntie, it's not cheap. We are a chain brand, and the price discounts in each store are stipulated. It's not up to us to decide. I can give you a small gift. How about I get you a pair of socks and a parasol?"
While they were bargaining here, Niu Niu had already tried on the clothes over there.
Chen Baomei asked if it fit, and Niu Niu nodded.
"Everything is fine."
Chen Baomei: "Then buy it."
"How about these two pairs of shoes? Do you like the patterns?"
Niu Niu likes simple things. The shoes that Chen Baomei picked for her are relatively generous and simple in style, and Niu Niu liked them at first sight.
"Let me try."
Both pairs looked good, so Chen Baomei bought one for Niu Niu.
The salesperson took the clothes and shoes to the front desk for checkout, and Wu's mother was still bargaining with the salesperson.
The shopping guide who served Chen Baomei and Niu Niu asked her colleague to move aside while she checked out first.
Wu's mother immediately refused to accept it.
"We came here first, so why should we marry them first? Things should be done on a first-come, first-served basis. How do you serve them?"
"Auntie, no, you haven't confirmed it yet, have you?"
"We were here first, so why do you let them cut in line?"
The shopping guide was speechless at her unreasonable demands.
"I think you guys are just trying to please her by serving her the wrong dishes because she bought so much! As a waiter, you have to serve others well. Even if I don't buy anything, you still have to serve me well when I enter your store..."
The little girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and was almost crying because of Wu's mother's scolding.
Chen Baomei: "Alright, it's just a small matter, why bother making things difficult for the little girl."
"Child, let's take another look. There's no rush."
Chen Baomei asked the other party to move the things aside and settle the bill for Wu's mother and others first.
Mother Wu thought Chen Baomei would quarrel with her.
Unexpectedly, Chen Baomei ignored her completely. If she wanted to pay the bill first, she would pay it. She didn't care about this little thing at all.
In front of Chen Baomei, Wu's mother's argument just now seemed like a frivolous joke.
Mother Wu was so angry that her face turned red.
"Niuniu, go pick out a few more pairs of socks."
The sales assistant next to her said hurriedly, "Auntie, you bought a lot today, so we can give you a few more pairs of socks."
Chen Baomei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
Chen Baomei asked Niu Niu to pick out socks while she sat on a lounge chair and waited.
The shopping guide who was serving Wu's mother mustered up her courage and said, "Auntie, can I scan the QR code to check out for you?"
Mother Wu said unhappily, "Give me a discount and I'll buy it."
The shopping guide was very helpless, "Auntie, it really can't be cheaper."
Seeing Wu's mother arguing with others over a small amount of money in public, especially in front of Chen Jue and Chen Baomei, Wu Hui felt that he was completely humiliated.
The young man, speaking in a droopy voice that was gradually changing, angrily shouted at Wu's mother, "I'm not buying it!"
After saying something to Wu's mother, he quickly walked out of the store.
He saw all the shoes Chen Baomei had picked out for Chen Jue, including a pair of unisex styles that cost seven or eight hundred yuan each. He wanted to buy them, but they were too expensive, so Wu's mother didn't agree. So he settled for two cheaper short-sleeved shirts.
Chen Baomei bought Chen Jue two pairs of shoes and so many sets of clothes without blinking an eye, but Wu's mother was reluctant to buy him two short-sleeved shirts.
Comparing the two, Wu Hui felt even more resentful towards his mother.
Mother Wu chased out and said, "Why are you running away, kid? You haven't even bought anything yet."
Wu Hui said angrily, "You said you'd buy me clothes, but they were just two short-sleeved shirts, costing just over 400 yuan, and you didn't want to buy them for me at the last minute. So why are you pretending to be so rich in front of me?"
