Chapter 221: Shopping 221
"Oh my god, Hai City is indeed a big city. This department store is so beautiful."
When Su Sanlan saw a department store for the first time, she kept praising it. Unfortunately, the things inside were too expensive, so she didn't dare to touch them.
Since Zhou Pan was taking his mother-in-law to the department store, he naturally wouldn't let her go home empty-handed. Seeing Su Sanlan couldn't take her eyes off the small leather shoes, Zhou Pan quickly instructed the salesperson: "Comrade, please get a pair of lambskin shoes that my mother can wear."
Su Sanlan was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, I don't want these leather shoes. These leather shoes are too expensive. I'll just wear cloth shoes."
Zhou Pan smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, just think of it as your son-in-law's filial piety to you. Besides, it was Shi Liu who asked me to help you buy your clothes. If I go back empty-handed, I'm afraid Shi Liu will blame me."
Su Sanlan was immediately delighted when she heard this. She said, daughters are better than sons. She worked hard for her son, but no one thought of buying her a piece of clothing. They were all ungrateful people.
In fact, Su Sanlan was biased. Shi Liu not only had the money she earned herself, but also Zhou Pan's money. Naturally, she had enough to honor her mother. But Brother Shi and others had very little money at all. The most important thing was that they had no tickets. All the tickets in the family were in Su Sanlan's hands. Even if they wanted to honor their mother, they were powerless.
The salesgirl was also quite sweet-talking. "Auntie, your daughter and son-in-law are truly filial. These sheepskin shoes are imported from Daisy Country. Daisy Country's leather shoes are the most famous handmade leather shoes in the world, and the quality is exceptional. One of our leaders bought a similar pair many years ago, and they're still in great condition."
Su Sanlan's arithmetic is pretty good. A pair of sheepskin shoes costs more than 100 yuan, but if they can be worn for several years, it doesn't seem very expensive.
Seeing Su Sanlan's excitement, the salesperson continued, "Many old ladies in the city would buy a pair of small leather shoes to wear. These sheepskin shoes are obviously high-end. If you wear them out, many people will surely envy you for having such a good daughter."
Su Sanlan's heart fluttered upon hearing this. Hai City was a big city after all. If she dressed in rags, others would inevitably look down on her, or even think her daughter was unfilial. This was unacceptable. Shi Liu was a very filial child. If she was misunderstood because of her, it would give the teachers at school a bad impression.
Seeing this, Zhou Pan signaled the salesperson to quickly get the shoes. This time, Su Sanlan did not refuse. She carefully put on the leather shoes that cost hundreds of dollars and took a walk.
Su Sanlan had heard that leather shoes were very hard, but the pair on her feet were very soft: "These shoes are so comfortable to wear."
Zhou Pan directly took out the money: "Then get another pair of different colors and buy two pairs at once."
The salesperson smiled, revealing her big white teeth. "I'll get it right away. We also have burgundy and khaki. What color would you like?"
Su Sanlan looked at the black leather shoes on her feet and moved her toes. "Give me a pair each. Son-in-law, isn't this black a little too ordinary?"
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty. Su Sanlan gave birth to a daughter as beautiful as Shi Liu, and she herself also loves beauty. Since her son-in-law wants to buy her two pairs of leather shoes, she must choose good-looking ones.
Zhou Pan didn't expect that these sheepskin shoes would come in three colors: "Don't you only have black leather shoes here?"
The salesperson explained with a smile, "There are more than three colors in Daisy Country, but our department store didn't dare to stock other colors because they were worried that it wouldn't sell well."
Zhou Pan nodded in admiration. These three colors do have a wide audience, but: "If my mother-in-law also likes black, then take it." There are only three colors, there is no need to worry about it, just buy a pair of each color.
Su Sanlan quickly waved her hand: "No need, just buy two pairs to wear alternately." If she wasn't worried that a pair of shoes would smell after wearing for a long time, she would have just bought one pair.
Zhou Pan thought that Shi Liu always liked to buy all kinds of shoes, and the same style of shoes even if they were different colors were not considered new shoes. He planned to bring his mother-in-law over to buy new shoes after a while.
Su Sanlan, who was happily trying on shoes, had no idea that she would receive a gift from her son-in-law in the near future.
Su Sanlan hasn't been so happy for a long time. She is now more and more proud of having given birth to a good daughter. As for you saying that it was her son-in-law who bought her shoes, her son-in-law is so filial, isn't it because her daughter has brought him up well? So, in the final analysis, it is still her daughter who is filial.
Normally, the cloth shoes made by Su Sanlan are all black, so she prefers to choose khaki and burgundy. However, the burgundy color is a bit too bright. She is already old, so is it appropriate for her to wear little red leather shoes?
Being a salesperson in a department store, the girl was naturally a smooth talker. Seeing the lady hesitate, she quickly said, "Auntie, these burgundy sheepskin shoes are very rare. They are always sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves. You are lucky. Our goods just arrived last night. If you had come a day earlier, you wouldn't have had the burgundy color."
In the end, the love of beauty prevailed, and Su Sanlan put on the burgundy sheepskin shoes directly.
Now that I have bought shoes, I naturally have to buy clothes.
More than half an hour later, Zhou Pan and Su Sanlan left the department store with bags.
Su Sanlan felt a cold breeze blowing, and her mind suddenly became clear. She looked at the pile of clothes and shoes. She had just been fooled by her son-in-law, and she hadn't calculated how much money she had spent. Now it seemed that it would cost at least seven or eight hundred!
"Zhou Pan, we can't do this anymore. We've lost a year or two's salary in one go—"
Seeing Su Sanlan's distressed face turn pale, Zhou Pan hurriedly comforted her: "These clothes and shoes are not disposable items. If you wear them carefully, we can wear them for five or six years. It's not expensive if you calculate it in cents."
Su Sanlan could only comfort herself in this way. After all, she was too embarrassed to let her son-in-law accompany her to return the goods.
Shi Liu looked at the things Zhou Pan bought for her mother and nodded with satisfaction: "Mom, your old clothes can be given to my sister-in-law and the others, and you can wear new clothes in the future. If they are not enough, we can buy new ones."
Su Sanlan immediately refused to accept the offer. "That won't do. Clothes in the mall are too expensive, often costing tens or even hundreds of dollars. We can't afford to waste such money. Oh, my dear, do you have enough clothes? I'll make you a few more, and some clothes for your baby..."
Speaking of baby clothes, Shi Liu glared at Zhou Pan angrily. This guy was collecting supplies everywhere at the beginning, so how come he missed out on maternal and child products? And the old man didn't even bother to remind him.
Zhou Pan touched his nose. He had never planned to have a child, so how could he collect these things specifically? Forget it, it’s better not to tell the truth, lest Shi Liu think that he dislikes the child in her belly.
"My mother-in-law will have to worry about these things in the future." After all, Shi Liu doesn't seem like someone who would worry.
They were her own daughter and grandson, so Su Sanlan naturally cared about them. Without any hesitation, she nodded and agreed.
