Here, Shen Qingqing and her friend were about to go home after dinner, but Shen Jiaojiao, who was completely unaware of this, was shopping sprees in the department store with the money given by Lu Yunshan.
Although her family doted on her in the past, her family background was limited after all, and her parents had never given her so much money. In addition, stimulated by Shen Qingqing, she was determined to defeat Shen Qingqing materially to prove that she was living a better life than the other.
Therefore, she did not hold back when it came to spending money. She would just buy whatever she liked with a wave of her hand!
Brightly colored bragi, buy it!
These little leather shoes just arrived from Shanghai, buy them!
Queliang’s white shirt, buy it!
Buy these pants that become slippery when you touch them!
As Shen Jiaojiao was strolling around, she couldn't help but recall the two people she met this morning. Zhou Yuanzheng's position was higher than Lu Yunshan's, and his salary should be much higher than his.
Lu Yunshan never took her shopping for clothes, but Shen Qingqing could make Zhou Yuanzheng willingly give for her, which made her feel unhappy!
Seeing how much Zhou Yuanzheng cared about Shen Qingqing when they got married, you knew that he would definitely not treat Shen Qingqing unfairly.
I don’t even know what to buy for her!
Shen Jiaojiao was not convinced. She wanted to have what Shen Qingqing had, and she wanted to have more than her!
Thinking about it this way, Shen Jiaojiao spent money at a speed as fast as running water. She only visited two floors and spent nearly two hundred yuan.
When she came out of the department store again, she was carrying a lot of bags.
After an afternoon of shopping, she felt much happier. She checked the money in her pocket and found that it was just enough for her to have a meal at the state-owned restaurant.
Logically speaking, having just had a banquet yesterday, she should not be craving for meat, but Chen Jiaojiao was different. She had money in her pocket, and it was not easy for her to come to the city today. She was unwilling to go back without having a good meal, so she took her bag and went to the state-owned restaurant for a meal.
When the sun was about to set, she contentedly carried her bags to the pier to catch the boat.
Today happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and there is a market in the countryside.
Some smart wives would go to the market to buy some eggs or fresh vegetables and bring them back home. There was a shortage of supplies on the island, so these hardworking women would think of ways to get some nutritious food for the men and children at home.
It was Zhengtu's last boat in the afternoon, so many military wives who had just finished their work were returning to the island in groups of two or three. Zhengtu ran into Shen Jiaojiao who had just finished her meal.
The small boat was packed with people. Although everyone else was carrying packages, Chen Jiaojiao was the most eye-catching among them.
After all, these days, which wife would buy so many things when going out? And looking at the packaging, they are all expensive and high-end goods.
The military wife who loved to join in the fun started talking to her in a familiar way, "Is this the new daughter-in-law of Deputy Battalion Commander Lu? Are you out shopping today?"
Shen Jiaojiao saw that she didn't dress like her husband was an official, so she thought she was just an ordinary military wife.
So he nodded arrogantly and responded indifferently.
The military wife didn't seem to notice Shen Jiaojiao's disdain, and asked enthusiastically, "Look at the things in your hand, they all look like they were bought in a department store, right?"
Oh, I didn't expect a country bumpkin to be able to see this. She puffed out her chest with some pride, "Yes, my husband Lu gave me the money so that I wouldn't let myself suffer and buy some clothes. He also specifically told me not to buy cheap clothes from the supply and marketing department, but to buy high-end clothes from the department store."
As she spoke, she lifted her hair proudly and said, "Oh, I didn't want to do that, but I couldn't get rid of him, so I had to listen to him."
"Puchi..." Someone couldn't help laughing out loud. The other people next to him also had subtle expressions, but they all had smiles on their faces.
Hearing this, the military wife was startled, and with a complicated expression, she circled the things in her hands and asked, "Did you buy all these things in the department store?"
Shen Jiaojiao sneered, thinking that the other party was jealous of her buying so many things, and said sarcastically, "Yes, they are all high-end goods, but they cost me a lot of money!"
Shen Jiaojiao felt that she had nothing in common with these country bumpkins, and she was too lazy to pay attention to these country women who were dressed in shabby clothes. She was a person who lived in the eleventh century, and her taste and thoughts were naturally not comparable to these people, so she did not speak, and let those subtle eyes fall on her.
The military wife returned home and immediately spread the news to the military wives she was familiar with. While preparing dinner, they discussed where Shen Jiaojiao got so much money to buy so many things.
"Isn't her husband just a deputy battalion commander? His salary is not even as much as my husband's. Where does she get the money? The things she spent in the department store are equivalent to two or three months' salary of her husband."
"Who says it's not true? Her sister married the deputy head of a regiment, who is several levels higher than her husband, and she's not so high-profile. I don't know what she's showing off about. She can't hide her money and spends it all on clothes. Tsk tsk, you didn't see it!"
"I took a quick look and saw all the high-end stuff, such as braids and small leather shoes. We're staying on this island all day, so who are we dressing up for?"
"That's right. In this family and outside, food, clothing and daily expenses all cost money. Other wives would spend every penny carefully, but she spends it all on herself..."
