(401)
What? Her mother wants to buy her clothes? Ye Wenyu was stunned. Since the end of the college entrance examination and after her mother got married, she had never bought her clothes again.
A warm feeling washed over her, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. Her mother wanting to buy her clothes reminded her of the happy times when her mother would take her to buy new clothes during holidays in her childhood.
However, considering that her mother's life was not easy, and that she had enough clothes to wear, why should she spend her mother's money? Clothes in shopping malls are ridiculously expensive these days, and her mother is the kind of person who doesn't know how to manage money. If she had two thousand yuan for living expenses this month, she would most likely spend it on a piece of clothing for her, and then starve for the rest of the month!
Therefore, you must never let your mother go shopping for clothes.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu smiled and said, "Mom, I have enough clothes, you don't need to buy any more. Thank you, I love you." She held her mother's hand tightly.
Regaining her long-lost maternal love, her heart felt as warm as a fireplace in winter. She was once again certain that her mother loved her very much. She was just unable to take care of her due to her limited abilities, but that didn't matter. She was all grown up now and would take good care of her mother in the future!
Although a light rain was falling and the sky was overcast, the daisies in the distance were blooming like fire.
Zhang Susu glanced at her daughter with disdain again and said, "A woman's clothes are enough? Besides, look at what you're wearing! This T-shirt looks like something a man would wear, and these jeans, I bought them for you when you were in high school!" The old woman tugged at her clothes like she was picking through trash, scolding, "These pants have holes in the knees, and you're still wearing them." As she spoke, she thought about how her daughter couldn't bear to throw away even a pair of worn-out pants because she couldn't take care of her health, and how she had given birth to her but not raised her. She felt guilty, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Seeing the old woman's sadness, Ye Wenyu immediately smiled and explained, "Mom, it's not that it's torn. Actually, it's because ripped jeans are in fashion now, so I deliberately cut them."
Actually, the clothes were really torn, so she decided to make the most of the situation and cut the hole even bigger. When she wore them out, some girls asked her where she bought them, saying that the ripped holes were very fashionable and unique. So she boldly continued to wear them.
However, the old lady didn't believe it. Overwhelmed with self-reproach, tears streamed down her face. She covered her face with her hands and choked out, "I'm sorry, Yu'er, I'm so sorry—"
For some reason, Ye Wenyu suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She reached out and hugged her mother, smiling as she said, "Mom, you don't need to be sad. You've been very good to me. I've always been happy—"
Zhang Susu burst into tears in her daughter's arms, sobbing as she said, "You are my only child, but I've treated you like this. I'm so incompetent, so powerless. In the next life, don't be my daughter again, okay? Waaah—"
Ye Wenyu hugged Zhang Susu tighter. To stop her from being sad, she reminded her, "Mom, didn't you say someone was treating us to lunch today? It's already eleven o'clock, don't be late."
Zhang Susu immediately stopped crying, quickly wiped away her tears, grabbed Ye Wenyu's hand, and jumped into a taxi like lightning.
In the car, she urged the driver to drive faster and head straight for Henglong Shopping Mall, while saying to Ye Wenyu with disdain, "We made an appointment for 12:30 noon, and there's still an hour and a half left. Look at you, so young and beautiful, yet you dress like a tomboy. Do you look like me? I'd be ashamed to say you're my daughter, Zhang Susu, in public!"
The driver in front couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Remembering her mother's tears, Ye Wenyu could only smile and remain silent.
If a mother wants to dress her up, and she insists on not doing so, wouldn't that be considered unfilial? Filial piety is about obeying one's elders; often, it's simply a matter of being obedient to them.
Half an hour later, the mother and daughter arrived at the mall, and Zhang Susu hurriedly pulled Ye Wenyu inside.
Ye Wenyu asked curiously, "Mom, who is hosting this party? Is it necessary to dress up so elaborately?" She thought to herself that the old lady had actually brought out her cheongsam outfits from many years ago, which meant that this party was no ordinary event.
Zhang Susu didn't say anything, but simply held her daughter's hand and took the elevator straight to the women's clothing counter on the fourth floor. She was persistent but also anxious.
Ye Wenyu then fell silent.
She hadn't intended for her mother to buy her clothes. She felt that she now had a considerable amount of savings, and the rose-red cheongsam her mother was wearing was one she had bought when she was in junior high school. Although she rarely wore it, it was still an old garment. Besides, these days, what woman of any standing would wear such a brightly colored cheongsam when going out for a meal? Therefore, since her mother valued this banquet so much, she, as her daughter, felt it necessary to get her mother a decent outfit.
This is also why she didn't refuse when the old man insisted on going to the mall to buy clothes.
Therefore, while Zhang Susu was looking for beautiful clothes for her daughter, Ye Wenyu was also looking out for a suitable and appropriate outfit for her mother.
The fourth floor of the mall was filled with designer women's clothing, and the mother and daughter were dazzled by the selection.
At that moment, the mother and daughter were truly the happiest mother and daughter in the world. Everyone who saw them holding hands, chatting and laughing, shopping together, would have thought that every woman in the world would want to have a daughter.
However, the clothes in the mall are really expensive now. A piece of autumn fashion is priced at three thousand! Judging from the style and material, it is no different from the clothes that cost a few hundred yuan on Tmall. Ye Wenyu thought that the mall had gone crazy and was robbing people. This is not a place that poor people like them can afford.
At first, Zhang Susu was incredibly enthusiastic about looking at clothes, as excited as if she had been injected with adrenaline. But when she saw the prices, the saleswomen looked at her with suspicion and disdain, clearly saying, "You can't afford it, don't ask." After being bullied like this many times, her mood gradually changed.
Ye Wenyu grew increasingly annoyed, silently following her mother. A storm raged within her, threatening to erupt soon. Looking at the snobbish faces of the saleswomen, her anger burned fiercer, like a thunderbolt striking from the blue. These snobbish scoundrels! Did they think they were so noble? If they were so capable, they wouldn't be working behind a counter in a shopping mall!
Just as a caterpillar becomes beautiful only after it has wings, a person needs money to have dignity in this world.
Therefore, when the mother and daughter entered a women's clothing store, Zhang Susu saw a red dress and was about to have Ye Wenyu try it on when the saleswoman walked right up to her and said with a blank face, "If you try it on, you have to buy it."
Zhang Susu casually said to Ye Wenyu, "Go try it on."
Ye Wenyu saw this and became even angrier. She knew that a person's nonchalance was a way to protect themselves from harm. Her mother's forced smile clearly showed that she had been hurt by that saleswoman.
If she doesn't lash out, would that be reasonable?
