He Shan was furious and went up to the salesperson: "You're so snobbish! My sister was shopping so casually and paying so readily, did you even see that?"
The waiter was so angry he couldn't say a word.
"It's over two hundred yuan, enough for me to buy more than twenty items normally." Aunt He felt a little heartache thinking about it.
She usually wears clothes that she makes herself or that cost around ten yuan a piece; thirty yuan a piece is rare. Summer dresses average seventy yuan a piece, and she's never bought anything that expensive before. She's certainly never bought four dresses at once!
“Mom, money is meant to be spent. If it’s gone, you can always earn more,” He Wenlin said. “Why did they look down on us just now? Wasn’t it because we were dressed poorly? You have to respect people for their clothes first. That’s the principle. In the future, when we go out to do business, we should dress better. There’s a men’s clothing store here. Let’s go in and buy Dad a couple of nice outfits.”
After speaking, He Wenlin went into the store first.
Mrs. He wanted to say that there was no need to buy expensive things, but when she thought about how she had bought expensive things herself, it wouldn't be right to buy cheap things for her husband.
"Mom, you pick it out. You know Dad wants a larger size. Shanshan, do you need to go to the bathroom?"
He Shan thought He Wenlin really needed to go to the restroom, so she followed her out, intending to accompany her. However, He Wenlin led her straight downstairs to the jewelry store.
"Linlin, you want to buy gold?"
"I'll buy one for my grandma and one for my mom," He Wenlin said, looking at the styles through the glass.
Honestly, the designs of gold jewelry these days are really outdated.
However, gold was indeed cheap at that time.
"Hello, this, and this too, please show them to me."
Although the jewelry store clerk wasn't as enthusiastic as Xiao Fen, she also didn't look down on people like the other one.
He Wenlin picked them up and looked at them, then handed them to the waiter: "Please wrap these two up for me."
He Wenlin bought a pair of gold earrings for her mother and grandmother.
The waiters were stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen someone buy gold jewelry so readily.
He Wenlin: "What are you standing there for? Issue the invoice."
The waiter smiled and said, "This is the first time I've encountered such a straightforward customer. Don't you need to choose again?"
"After looking at them all, these are the most outdated styles. Fine, how much is it?"
"It's three hundred and fifty-two yuan in total."
He Wenlin paid the money without hesitation.
After returning to the store with their purchases, Mrs. He was still helping Mr. He choose clothes.
"Where's the toilet? I need to use it too," Grandma He asked.
He Shan blurted out, "We didn't go to the toilet. Linlin went to buy gold earrings for you and Auntie."
"What?" Grandma He and Mrs. He stared at He Wenlin in shock. "Buy what?"
He Wenlin then took out two small red boxes: "I bought you each the right gold earrings. When we have more money, I'll buy you gold bracelets too."
He Wenlin has enough money to buy a gold bracelet, but she wants to save money to buy a house and settle down, so this time she only bought her cheap gold earrings.
Which woman doesn't love gold?
Grandma and Grandma were so happy they were practically rolling on the floor.
Especially He's mother; it's obvious that she wasn't as happy as she was now when He Wenlin gave her a dress of similar price before.
"How much is it in total?" Aunt He asked.
"Not much, just over three hundred yuan."
"Quickly put it away, don't flaunt your wealth!" Old Mrs. He was genuinely happy, but she was also afraid of being targeted by pickpockets.
He Shan smiled and said, "Put it on now."
Grandma He waved her hands repeatedly: "I dare not wear this. What if someone grabs me when I go out? Jinhua bought her mother gold hoop earrings, but she was grabbed as soon as she went out on the street. Her ear was bleeding so much, tsk tsk, it looks painful. Put them away first. There are too many people around here, so put them away quickly."
Mrs. He was initially delighted and wanted to put it on, but when she heard Mrs. He say that, she was startled and quickly put it away.
"I'll wear it when we get back." He Wenlin put it in her bag. "Mom, have you bought the clothes yet?"
"I don't know which of these two to buy?"
"If you don't know which one to buy, then buy them all."
Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled and said, "Ma'am, your daughter is so filial! Just listen to your daughter and take them all. The quality and style of these clothes are quite good."
"How much is it in total?" He Wenlin asked.
"If you want all three, it'll be 238 yuan."
Aunt He quickly said, "Just buy two pieces for your dad to alternate wearing. I've already picked one out."
"Then let's buy three items. We don't go shopping every day, and we don't know when we'll be able to go again. Auntie, we want all three, can you give us a discount?"
"I'll give you the lowest discount of 15%, so it'll be 202 in total."
"How about two hundred yuan?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
He Wenlin promptly paid and packed up the food.
"Go give some to Grandma and my little brother..."
Grandma He quickly waved her hand: "I don't need to buy any, I have clothes to wear, you can buy some for yourself."
Aunt He quickly added, "Xiao Jun is still young and growing. What we buy this year won't fit him next year. There's no need to buy him expensive or nice clothes. You should buy yourself a couple of nice outfits instead."
After saying that, Aunt He added, "Your hand gaps are really big. You should go shopping less often in the future. How much did you spend today? That thousand yuan is almost gone, isn't it?"
"Mom, a decent pair of clothes can last for two or three summers. But clothes that cost seventeen or eighteen yuan will be worn out before the summer is over. Besides, we don't go out often. As for gold, it's a different story. It holds its value and will definitely appreciate in the future."
"Anyway, I can't argue with you, so I can't go out with you next time."
