The three daughters-in-law were overjoyed to hear about Grandma Su's decision!
Su He brought back ten jin of cotton. Even if it was divided into three portions, each family would still have more than three jin, enough to make a cotton-padded jacket.
So everyone thanked Su He with great joy and assured her, "Don't worry, Mother, we know what's good and what's bad, and we definitely won't tell anyone."
Grandma Su was finally relieved.
Although Su He respected Grandma Su's decision, she also felt sorry for the elderly couple who hadn't kept any for themselves.
So he took out the cotton shoes he had bought and handed them to her and Old Man Su.
"Grandpa and Grandma, these are cotton shoes I bought for you. They're said to be very sturdy and warm."
Grandma Su was overjoyed when she saw this, and her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
"Oh my, my eldest granddaughter gave me these shoes as a gift. I have to try them on; they must be warm."
Old Su was also delighted, holding the shoes and praising them repeatedly.
However, after the initial joy, the two felt a pang of heartache.
Grandma Su said worriedly, "You must have spent a lot of money this time? Your salary isn't much to begin with. Don't always think about the family. Keep the money for yourself. The people in the family won't starve or freeze."
Su He nodded. "Grandma, don't worry, I didn't spend much. These shoes aren't expensive either. I didn't even need a coupon. I bought them at the department store. Because they were cheap, a lot of people were scrambling to buy them. It's just that your granddaughter was quick and managed to get them for you two!"
"Wow, my granddaughter is really amazing!"
Grandma Su was relieved to hear this, but worried that she might have spent all her money, so she thought she would give her some more when she left.
...
After dinner, Su He didn't go to sleep right away. She couldn't help but chuckle as she thought about how Su Miao and Su Zi had been looking at her expectantly during dinner.
So I found the hair ties and face cream and brought them over.
The reason they didn't give it to them in front of everyone was because they were afraid that Old Mrs. Su would scold them for asking her for things.
To avoid a beating, Su He planned to deliver it secretly.
When we arrived at their room, the sisters were still awake.
Upon seeing the pretty hair ties Su He brought, Su Zi was so happy she almost shouted out, but Su Miao stopped her in time.
However, Su Miao was also very happy, holding the hair tie with great delight and praising Su He repeatedly, "Sister, you have such good taste in choosing hair ties, this hair tie is so pretty!"
“Yes, it’s even prettier than the one Su Dong bought at the supply and marketing cooperative,” Su Zi chimed in from the side.
Su Hong, on the other hand, was more reserved. Although she wasn't as exaggerated as the other two, she would occasionally glance at the hair tie, so she probably liked it too.
Seeing this, Su He was relieved. "I'm glad you like it. The department store has a lot of styles. I'll buy you more later."
Upon hearing this, the sisters quickly refused, "No need, eldest sister, just buy one. This thing is expensive, and if Grandma finds out, she'll scold us to death. You should have bought one back then, and we could take turns carrying it."
Su He smiled and didn't say much. She took out the face cream again and said, "It's getting cold. Remember to apply face cream, otherwise your face will get chapped."
Su Miao then noticed the remaining face cream and immediately exclaimed with heartache, "Oh dear, sister, you're spending money too extravagantly! This face cream looks expensive; how could we bear to use it!"
“Yes, we can just use clam oil!” Su Zi, who was standing to the side, also felt extremely distressed.
Even Su Hong spoke up, saying, "Sister, you can take this and use it yourself. We still haven't finished the clam oil you gave us last year."
