"Sister-in-law, I went out in a hurry and didn't bring so much money with me!" Sun Bowen blushed a little.
I've never been so embarrassed.
"Oh, I don't have enough money! That's a big deal. Miss Zhao is your neighbor and a good sister. You can borrow some from her and return it to her when you get back!"
Or did you never plan to buy clothes for Shanshan? Is this just an excuse for you to be a good sister? "
Sun Bowen was speechless, and then he said righteously: "No way! Sister-in-law, you are joking. Shanshan will marry me soon, so it is only right for me to buy her a set of clothes.
As for Xiaowen, she is really just a younger sister."
Zhao Xiaowen just changed her clothes and came out at this time. She had a hurt look on her face, but she forced a smile. She walked in front of Sun Bowen, turned around, and said with a coquettish smile: "Brother Bowen, do you think I look good in this dress?"
Sun Bowen gritted his teeth and praised: "Good, it looks good!"
"Is it really beautiful? Is it prettier than Sister Shanshan?" Zhao Xiaowen tilted her head, as if forcing Sun Bowen to give an answer.
Sun Bowen was sweating profusely.
I wailed in my heart, "Alas, my ancestors! How can I distinguish the occasion?"
If we were at home, I would definitely be happy to say sweet words to coax her.
But in front of Lu Xiaoyue, I dare not.
Otherwise, if the Li family regrets the engagement, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
"It's okay, it looks good on both of you." Sun Bowen said while looking at Lu Xiaoyue with a pressing gaze.
"I knew that Brother Bowen has the same good taste as me. Sister-in-law, I bought this dress. Please pack it for me."
"Okay!" Lu Xiaoyue packed clothes for Zhao Xiaowen first, and then glanced at Sun Bowen with interest.
Sun Bowen's scalp tingled when she looked at him, "Xiao Wen, um...can you lend me ten yuan temporarily? I, I have more than enough money."
"Why do you want to borrow money from me, Brother Bowen? I can just buy my clothes myself, and I will let Brother Bowen pay for them." Zhao Xiaowen said sympathetically.
Before leaving, Sun Bowen promised her that he would buy her a gift.
Now when she heard Sun Bowen asked her to borrow money, Zhao Xiaowen misunderstood and thought that Sun Bowen wanted to pay for her clothes.
Lu Xiaoyue sneered and said, "My brother-in-law and my sister-in-law have a really good relationship. I specially asked you to pick clothes for Shanshan. Now, I have my eyes on the most expensive one. I think this is the only one that suits Shanshan best. But I don't have enough money, so I asked you to borrow it."
Zhao Xiaowen was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She felt so sweet in her heart just now, thinking that Brother Bowen had given everything for her.
Unexpectedly, it was given to that slutty cousin of Li Shanshan.
It was because she came back late that Brother Bowen was forced to choose that bitch. Now that she is here, she will definitely let Brother Bowen marry that bitch Li Shanshan.
That's right, Zhao Xiaowen just returned to the town a few days ago.
Previously, Sun Bowen's family had some assets and ran two stores. Later, when a major movement broke out, the Sun family was the first to be knocked down.
All of Sun's shops and houses were confiscated, and later the Sun family could only live in the last yard.
Later, Sun Bowen's father accepted such a blow and chose to escape. He smoked, drank and gambled every day, and lost all his family assets. After being maliciously reported by someone, he was directly arrested and killed by Mu Cang.
But Zhao Xiaowen's family is just the opposite.
Before the Great Movement, the Zhao family was servants hired by the Sun family. Later, when the Sun family went bankrupt, the Zhao family suddenly became rich and moved to the provincial capital.
The Zhao family had long been servants of our family, but had become the one that the Sun family could marry into.
Zhao Xiaowen's attitude towards Wang has changed from being cautious in trying to please him when they were young to being bossy now. Even the people in the Zhao family look at Wang's family with contempt.
Oh!
"Brother Bowen..." Zhao Xiaowen felt as if a needle was stabbing her heart.
She has liked Sun Bowen since she was a child.
In the past, she was trying to climb up the social ladder, but now, she has both the capital and the qualifications, and she must snatch Sun Bowen away from her.
"Sister-in-law, please keep it for me for a while. I'm going to go back to get the money and come back to buy it later." Sun Bowen didn't want to be looked down upon by Zhao Xiaowen.
The people around me looked at me with more mockery.
"You didn't bring enough money to buy clothes for your fiancée. It's obvious that you're not sincere."
"Oh, why do these two seem to be in a relationship? Who would go out shopping together as a single man and a single woman? Maybe he's buying something for his fiancée, but it's real for this woman!"
"Tsk, tsk, if that's the case, then this man is a whore and should be arrested and criticized."
"Yes, yes. I think this girl knows that the man has a fiancée, but she still takes the initiative to pester him. She is clearly a woman who is loyal to her husband."
"A scumbag and a bitch, they are a perfect match, why don't they just get married? Why do they have to harm others?"
"That's right, these two are such bastards. They went all the way to buy clothes from the girl's sister-in-law. Who are they trying to disgust?"
"We should notify the Women's Federation and arrest them."
…
Sun Bowen saw that things were going to go wrong and cursed these people in his heart for meddling in other people's business.
"Sister-in-law, I really just want to buy clothes for Shanshan."
Lu Xiaoyue said calmly, "Oh! Since we all know each other, I'll pay the money you have on you first, and you can bring the rest later."
Sun Bowen was full of gratitude, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I'll get it at home and send it back to you."
He took out all his belongings, which totaled fifty-two yuan.
Lu Xiaoyue accepted the money without saying a word, and wrote a note for Sun Bowen to sign.
Sun Bowen's mouth twitched: "..." This requires a lot of faith.
Seeing Sun Bowen about to sign, Zhao Xiaowen bit her lip to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll pay the rest of the money.
Sister-in-law, Brother Bowen and I are friends from childhood, and I just wanted to accompany you to buy clothes for Sister Shanshan, so don't think too much about it."
After saying that, he even forgot to take out a dollar and pay for Sun Bowen.
"Brother Bowen, now that we have bought clothes for Sister Shanshan, let's go our separate ways here to avoid being misunderstood by others." Zhao Xiaowen smiled brightly, looking considerate.
In fact, her palms were nearly broken from holding the clothes so tightly.
Sun Bowen gave her a grateful smile, and then the two of them took their clothes and walked away separately.
Seeing that the excitement had died down, the customers started selecting clothes again.
In the evening, when Lu Xiaoyue returned home, she saw Li Shanshan happily changed into new clothes and was showing off in front of her mother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, Sun Bowen told me everything that happened today." Li Shanshan asked in a questioning tone.
Lu Xiaoyue wanted to hear what Sun Bowen had said, so she asked with interest, "What did Sun Bowen tell you?"
"Mom, you know how much my sister-in-law goes to the extreme. Today, Sun Bowen went to the clothing store to buy clothes for me, wanting to prepare a surprise for me. Because he had enough money with him, my sister-in-law actually sold the clothes to me and even ridiculed and mocked me with the people in the store. Mom, what does my sister-in-law mean? If she is satisfied with me, she can just come at me. There is no need to go around in circles and deliberately make things difficult for Bowen.
How can I live with Bowen after I marry him? How can I hold my head up high in the Li family? "
Li Shanshan became more and more anxious as she spoke, and she stomped her feet in anger.
