"This outfit isn't expensive, it's only 35 yuan."
Su Xueli used the same trick again, bringing up Manager Gao. The saleswoman, just like the one selling coats, immediately offered the lowest price: 25 yuan.
Su Xueli reached into her bag to take out money, but Wei Mingshen was already one step ahead of her and handed the money to the sales clerk.
"Hey, I'll pay!" Su Xueli stopped him.
He hurriedly took the money out of his bag and handed it to the salesperson.
The sales clerk was a little confused. Looking at the two of them with an embarrassed smile, she said, "What are you two doing? Aren't you a young couple? Everyone's money is the same."
Su Xueli said, "It's different, you can accept mine."
Wei Mingshen became stubborn, glanced at her with a stern face, and hissed at the sales clerk: "Take mine."
His gaze was imposing without being angry, and the saleswoman was so frightened that she quickly took the money from his hand and turned around to get a paper bag to pack Su Xueli's clothes.
Su Xueli had no choice but to take the money back.
I thought to myself, I'll give it to him when I get home; I don't want the clothes he bought.
Wei Mingshen picked up her clothes as well and said gently, "Let's go, let's walk around some more."
Then she whispered, "I won't argue with you about paying anymore if we go shopping. I'm bankrupt. That's all my savings."
Su Xueli chuckled and asked him, "Since it's all your secret stash of money, why are you willing to buy me clothes?"
Wei Mingshen said, "It's Chinese New Year, shouldn't I, as a husband, buy my wife a dress?"
Su Xueli smiled, but said, "There's no need. It's just an act. Don't take it too seriously."
Wei Mingshen frowned slightly.
Su Xueli bought some trinkets that girls like and some snacks, and said to Wei Mingshen, "Let's go to the library."
Upon arriving at the library, Su Xueli selected two literary classics and a collection of Maupassant's short stories.
I wasn't in the mood to read these books in my past life, but I need to calm down and read them in this life to nourish my soul.
Wei Mingshen was somewhat mesmerized by the sight of her intently flipping through books before summer vacation... This girl always brought him a sense of novelty time and time again.
She was really different from the image of a woman he had in mind.
It was already dusk when the two got home. After dinner, Su Xueli said to Wei Mingshen, "Let's go to my second aunt's house for a chat."
Wei Mingshen looked at her. "Why did you suddenly decide to go to your second aunt's house?"
Su Xueli said, "When my second aunt brought us seaweed last time, didn't I say that we should give her something in return?"
Wei Mingshen remembered, and he looked at her and said, "You are a person who always keeps your word."
Su Xueli waved a book in her hand and said, "I bet Second Aunt will like it."
Wei Mingshen nodded, "That's right. My second aunt spends all her time teaching and reading. Giving her books really suits her tastes."
Auntie was very welcoming when the young couple arrived. Her eyes lit up when she saw the book Su Xueli had given her, and she exclaimed with delight, "Oh my child, how did you know I like reading? And what a coincidence, I've wanted to read this book for a long time, but I haven't been able to get anyone to buy it for me."
Hehehe, this is truly effortless! I don't even know what to say, thank you so much, child.
Su Xueli said, "Second Aunt, don't be so polite with me. I bought this book in the city. If you want to read any book but can't find it, I'll go to the city and bring it back for you."
She knew that her second aunt lived a secluded life and had never been to the city.
The reason she doesn't go out is still her obsession.
When that man left the village to return to the city, she saw him off at the county seat to catch the train. And so, she never set foot outside the town again.
