"Mom, how about you try this coat on?"
Su Jingjing immediately spotted a gray-purple cotton coat hanging on the wall and asked the shop assistant to take it down.
The sales clerk enthusiastically introduced the coat, saying, "Miss, you have excellent taste! This cotton-padded coat is a new style in our store and it's been selling very well lately."
Yan Ling was taken aback. "Daughter, so you're going to buy me clothes?"
Su Jingjing smiled dismissively and said, "Yes, I'll not only buy it for you, but also for the rest of the family."
Yan Ling quickly pushed the clothes away, saying, "No, I'm too old for that, I don't need to dress so nicely."
If she had known her daughter's little scheme beforehand, she would never have stepped into the store.
The salesperson didn't want their hard-earned sales to slip away, so they tried their best to introduce the product, but the other party remained unmoved.
She glanced at Su Jingjing awkwardly.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a situation; who would refuse clothes?
People who come to buy clothes either think they're too expensive or they're desperate to empty their children's pockets.
Su Jingjing pulled her mother aside, "Mom, I've never bought you anything in all these years. Now that we have this rare opportunity, please let me show my filial piety."
Catching a glimpse of her daughter's round, bright eyes, she had an idea. She deliberately asked, "Yuanyuan, Grandma raised Mom with so much hardship. Do you think Mom should buy Grandma clothes?"
"Of course."
The little one nodded firmly and counted on his fingers, "When I grow up, I want to buy clothes for Mom and Grandma, and also for Grandpa, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle, Aunt..."
Yan Ling was moved. "My dear grandson is so sensible. Grandma has not spoiled you for nothing."
Taking the opportunity, Su Jingjing said, "Mom, look, even Yuanyuan says so. If you don't accept it, she will be unhappy too."
"You, you."
Yan Ling said helplessly, "Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't suit us, we won't buy it."
Unexpectedly, it fit her perfectly; the elegant and luxurious gray-purple color instantly elevated her style.
Yan Ling had to admit that she was very satisfied with the dress, but she also knew that it must have been expensive.
Su Jingjing straightened her collar. "Mom, what do you think?"
Yan Ling stubbornly replied, "It's alright."
Dong Qin praised, "Mom, this dress suits your skin tone very well. If you wore it out, all the plump aunties would be so envious."
Su Jingjing asked the shop assistant about the price.
The shop assistant sincerely said, "Miss, to be honest, the best price we can offer is thirty yuan."
"What? Thirty yuan?"
Yan Ling's eyes widened immediately, and she took off her clothes and placed them directly in the shop assistant's hands.
"We're not buying it."
She wouldn't even glance at clothes that cost 10 yuan, let alone 30 yuan.
She thought it would be at most ten yuan, but she didn't expect it to be thirty yuan after the discount.
"Mom, let's discuss this again."
Su Jingjing quickly stopped the person and whispered in her ear, "Forgot your daughter has quite a lot of savings? Don't worry about saving for me."
"Since you like this dress, I'll buy it."
Yan Ling feigned denial, saying, "Mom doesn't really like it either."
Su Jingjing didn't take her words to heart. She faced the shop assistant directly, straightened her expression, and said, "Miss, I'm also in business. Everyone knows the rules of this industry, so you don't need to hide anything."
The shop assistant, being a naive young girl, couldn't hold back any longer and blushed as she said, "I'll reduce it by another five yuan, that's the lowest I can go."
"Okay, deal."
Su Jingjing didn't want to make things too difficult for the girl.
As she walked out of the store carrying the bag, Yan Ling asked in confusion, "Girl, when did you start doing business?"
Su Jingjing winked and said, "Mom, I did that on purpose."
Yan Ling said smugly, "Oh my, my daughter is getting smarter and smarter, just like me."
Holding up the bag in her hand, she said, "Mom instantly felt that this outfit was a worthwhile purchase."
Although she felt bad about spending twenty-five yuan, she was genuinely satisfied.
Wearing it around the village to show off will definitely make her look impressive and also bring fame to her daughter.
She was somewhat looking forward to that moment.
Su Jingjing put her arm around her mother's shoulder. "Mom, let's go take a look over there."
Yan Ling's smile froze. "Who else is it for?"
"Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, we still haven't bought clothes for Guodong."
Su Jingjing counted them one by one.
Dong Qin was afraid that her mother-in-law would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Little sister, Da Shan and I have clothes to wear, so we don't need to buy any. Just buy some for Dad."
It's enough that my sister-in-law has the intention; I won't force her.
Yan Ling didn't know what to say for a moment; her family hadn't bought any clothes for several years.
Dong Qin, in particular, has been constantly mocked by her ever since she married into their family.
Seeing that her mother did not object, Su Jingjing took Dong Qin's arm and walked into the store, finally choosing a light yellow coat.
As for Su Xiang and Su Dashan's overcoats, they were gray.
Oh, and Xiao Guodong's clothes too.
Finally, I went to the second floor and bought some daily necessities.
Yan Ling originally wanted to stop her, but seeing her daughter enjoying the shopping, she could only keep quiet.
The four of them returned home laden with purchases. They were tired after shopping all morning, so they found a restaurant to eat.
Su Jingjing ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
"Honey, that's too much. Just order two dishes."
I spent too much money today, so I'll try to save as much as I can.
"Mom, it's a rare opportunity to come out, so let's eat well and have fun."
Yan Ling saw that the waiter had already served the food, so she didn't say anything more.
After finishing their meal, the four of them left the restaurant.
"Honey, where are we going next?"
Yan Ling looked at the people coming and going on the street.
"Mom, sister-in-law, let's go buy a sewing machine."
"Sewing machine?"
Dong Qin was incredulous.
Is my sister-in-law so quick to act?
"Since we're here today, let's buy a sewing machine together and try it out when we get back."
The four then went to an electronics store to buy a sewing machine.
A sewing machine cost two hundred yuan, and when it came time to pay, Dong Qin tried her best to stop Su Jingjing.
"Little sister, we'll pay for it."
Yan Ling chimed in, “Yes, yes, you don’t need to pay for this.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each contributed 100 yuan.
Consider this money as a loan from Dong Qin to her mother-in-law.
Finally, I bought some snacks and meat and vegetables before heading home.
Oh, and there are also beef patties that An'an likes to eat.
After walking around all morning, Yuanyuan looked listless, but she didn't cry or fuss.
After getting on the bus, Su Jingjing held her daughter on her lap and coaxed her to sleep.
"Mommy will hold you while you sleep."
Yuanyuan placed her hand on Su Jingjing's collar, as if that made her feel safe.
"Yuanyuan is such a good girl, she didn't cry or fuss the whole way."
Dong Qin said gently.
My sister is really good at raising children; she should learn a lot from her.
Su Jingjing smiled happily and said, "Yes, neither of them has ever caused me any worry."
She's so lucky!
Not only did it make up for the regret of having no parents in her previous life, but it also allowed her to meet the love of her life and become a mother of two children without pain.
It seems that heaven is still looking out for her.
