During the Chinese New Year, besides eating and drinking, it's unavoidable to have social interactions.
Yu Yin's family lives far away, so she sent her father a New Year's gift before the holiday. She had previously asked her sister-in-law for her father's current clothing size; she hadn't seen him for several years and wondered if he had gained or lost weight. She also asked for her sister-in-law's size; the two had gotten along well in recent years.
Following the size her sister-in-law gave her, Yu Yin bought her father a thick cashmere coat, trousers, a crisp shirt, a wool vest, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. With this outfit, her father would definitely be the most handsome old man in the park or square.
Yu Yin also bought her sister-in-law a red cashmere coat, a classic style that will definitely be in fashion for ten years!
After sending the items, Yu Yin felt a sense of relief. She had done it on purpose, only buying her father a complete outfit from head to toe, but not buying anything for Lin's mother.
You used to look down on me, and now I'm getting my revenge. She just wanted to send clothes to her dad, the most fashionable clothes, and the same to her sister-in-law, just to show them that she was treating them differently.
Yu Yin couldn't do anything for the original owner, but she could still indulge in a little bit of mischievous fun.
Lu Shurui was rendered speechless by Yu Yin's actions; as long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.
Not long after she sent the clothes out, she received letters from Su Yixian and her sister-in-law, both wanting the red cashmere coat because they couldn't buy it where they were.
Well, they're all just vain people.
Yu Yin bought ten items in one go, which made many people around her envious. Each cashmere coat cost more than two hundred yuan!
Yu Yin pulled Lu Shurui directly to the nearest post office and mailed the letters to Sister Yixian, her brother and sister-in-law, and Zheng Yue.
The rest were for her grandparents, her second sister and brother-in-law, and herself and Lu Shurui. She felt a pang of regret after buying them—over two thousand yuan! But then she comforted herself, thinking, "It's okay, this piece of clothing can last me at least ten years."
Thinking about it this way, it only costs about twenty yuan a year on average, which isn't expensive.
"Yinyin, this dress is really nice. It feels great, the cut is perfect, the color is just right, and it's comfortable to wear. I love it. When I was younger, I saw celebrities wearing similar dresses in posters, and I was so envious back then. I never thought my dream would come true."
Grandma Lu was genuinely happy. She didn't bother with any formalities with Yu Yin, saying things like, "Why spend this money? It's such a waste. It would be better to save the money..." Since Yu Yin and the others were taking care of her in her old age, why bother with all that nonsense?
The old lady lived a very clear-headed life; she was no ordinary person.
"When we visit tomorrow, your grandfather and I will wear them. We should wear them more often in the future. They'll be so envious of our nice clothes."
"Exactly, I'll wear it tomorrow too. When I bought it, I thought this piece of clothing would probably last for ten or eight years. It only costs a few dozen yuan a year on average. It's not worth it if I wear it less often."
Yu Yin's theory is back online: don't feel sorry for me if you don't think that way!
"That's absolutely right. If you don't wear more clothes, you won't make your money back."
Seeing the two women's united and indignant spirit, Lu Shurui and Grandpa Lu thought to themselves, "Let's wear it a few more times to make it worth the price, and not let it go to waste."
"Grandma, let's go get two cheongsams made this summer. I think cheongsams are prettier and more elegant than dresses."
"That's right. The craftsmanship of our ancestors is incomparable to that of those outsiders. The piping, the embroidery... Ah... my grandmother's cheongsams were the most authentic!"
The old lady recalled her grandmother's wardrobe full of beautiful clothes and was filled with emotion.
"Grandma, let's try to fill the walk-in closet with different outfits so they'll think I'm An'an's older sister and you're An'an's aunt."
"Haha...then I'll be an old hag!"
"An elegant old hag!"
"Ha ha……"
Women? No matter how old they are, they have no resistance to beautiful clothes.
Sister Lu was the same; after receiving the clothes, she put them on and walked back and forth in front of the mirror, but she just didn't want to take them off.
"Old Cheng, what do you think? Would it be better if I lost a little more weight, like Yin Yin?"
"Yes, you're right."
So you think I'm too fat?
Forced to watch for half a day, Cheng Qian didn't even hear what his wife was asking, so he just mumbled "uh-huh" in response, only to find that he had answered incorrectly.
Meanwhile, Sister-in-law Cheng next door felt heartbroken, wishing she had a brother's wife like that!
Meanwhile, in the distant city of Yang, Sister-in-law Yu received the package. Upon opening it, she exclaimed, "My goodness, this is so beautiful! A red cashmere coat! They don't even have a style like this here!" Yu Yin, you are the best sister-in-law in the world.
After Mr. Yu retrieved the package, Mrs. Lin asked, "Who sent it? Was it Yu Jun? It's almost Chinese New Year, and he always sends New Year's gifts around this time of year."
The package that Yu's father brought back was indeed sent by Yu Jun. He handed it to Lin's mother and prepared to open the package that Yu Yin had sent. He wondered what was in it, since it was so big.
"Let me see that too. Why did you take it yourself?"
"This was sent by Yinyin."
After that one sentence, Lin's mother fell silent.
Mr. Yu didn't have time to argue with his wife. He opened the package himself and took out items one by one: a cashmere coat, a shirt, a wool vest, trousers, and leather shoes. "Oh dear, how could this child spend so much money? None of them are cheap."
Looking at the items one by one, Lin's mother became increasingly angry; Yu Yin was definitely doing this on purpose.
On New Year's Day, Yu's father, dressed in a brand-new outfit, met Yu's sister-in-law, who was wearing the same bright red cashmere coat. Everything was understood without words. Later, Yu's mother and Yu Qing together gave Yu Yin a good scolding.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Yu Yin kept sneezing, one sneeze after another.
"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"
