Chapter 96 Shopping

After talking to Cha Zi, Yuan Xiao happily left with the money in his pocket.

On the way back, he met Lian Yicai, who was beaten and scolded by a woman beside her.

What surprised Yuan Xiao was that Lian Yicai, such a domineering person, did not fight back at all. While

the woman was buying things, Lian Yicai noticed Yuan Xiao's sight.

She was stunned at first, and then she felt an incomparable sense of humiliation and her face was sullen.

Yuan Xiao smiled sarcastically and said to her, "You deserve it."

You deserve to die if you bring trouble upon yourself.

If Lian Yicai had not had her aunt by her side, she would have rushed up and fought with Yuan Xiao immediately.

She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot, and her sight was like a sharp knife, lingering on Yuan Xiao.

He Dacheng was imprisoned, and she knelt down to beg Li Guihua not to chase her away.

But Li Guihua kept her just because she wanted to have an extra laborer at home.

Lian Yicai tricked her mother into giving her the remaining gold necklace and gave it to Li Guihua, so that she could barely continue her studies. She

finally got her college entrance examination score back, how could she give up this opportunity!

Yuan Xiao was not interested in what Lian Yicai thought, and went to the department store with a pocket full of money to buy things.

She bought clothes for Wang Yazhi and the others, and even Uncle Gu and Chu Jiangping were not left out.

After buying clothes, she went to look at watches.

"This women's watch is good, it's from Longines, and many girls like this brand."

Yuan Xiao touched the watch on her hand. She was used to wearing it and didn't plan to change it.

"Let me see the men's model."

It was not easy to get tickets for watches, but she still had a few in her hand.

The salesperson smiled, "I'll recommend you a gift for your father or a gift for your partner."

Yuan Xiao looked away uncomfortably, "Partner."

The salesperson pointed out a watch to her, also a Longines brand, black, with a larger dial than the one on her wrist, but it looked like the same model.

"The one on your wrist is a couple's model, and many young couples like this."

Yuan Xiao didn't think much about it and smiled, "Okay, then we'll take this one."

Gu Lanting was a soldier, so he was definitely not used to wearing these on his wrist.

But he was born with such good conditions, outstanding appearance, clear wrist joints, and smooth lines, which made Yuan Xiao want to see how he looked wearing a watch. After

installing the watch, Yuan Xiao turned around and went into the jewelry store.

There was only one jewelry store in Qushui County, and it sold few styles.

The main reason is that gold and silver jewelry were considered "remnants" in the past, and many people didn't dare to wear them even if they wanted to.

It's better now, but without money and tickets, few people buy them.

Yuan Xiao got a few tickets some time ago, but she never had time to come and buy them.

She chose gold bracelets for Wang Yazhi, grandma, and old lady Yang, all in different styles, so that they would not look out of place at any age.

Then she picked out some fabrics.

At the end of September, the weather will gradually get cooler, so you can make some thin coats to wear outside.

After buying these things, Yuan Xiao's hands were full.

On the way back, she also met Lian Yicai's deskmate Liu Yan.

There was jealousy in Liu Yan's eyes. The girl standing next to her asked, "Liu Yan, do you know her? She is so pretty."

Liu Yan sneered, her voice was not concealed, "Clothes make the man, you don't even know, she is speculating and profiteering in the black market."

The girl exclaimed, "Aren't you afraid of being caught? This kind of thing is not very glorious."

"I don't know either." Liu Yan's voice became smaller.

She actually knew that the county had granted Yuan Xiao a store so that she could open a store legally, but she didn't want to say it.

It's all speculation and profiteering, what's there to be proud of.

Yuan Xiao pretended not to hear it. She and Liu Yan were not familiar with each other, and there was no need to be in a bad mood for such a person.

Wang Yazhi saw her coming back with a bunch of stuff and said distressedly, "You're buying things again!"

She has always been frugal, but it is obvious that Yuan Xiao did not inherit her good tradition.

Yuan Xiao smiled flatteringly, "Uncle Cha Zi came back today, and the silk sold for more than 2,000. I'll go out and ask around someday to open a textile factory."

"More than 2,000, but it can't withstand your spending like this!" Wang Yazhi said with a stern face.

"It's not a regular thing, look what I bought for you, mother." Yuan Xiao took out the bracelet, "You, grandma, and Grandma Yang, one each."

Grandma Yang heard, "What is it, and I get a share?"

"Grandma, come here and look, I picked this style for you."

Wang Yazhi put on the bracelet, which made her wrist look slender and white, but she still frowned, "Just buy it for your grandma and grandma, mother doesn't care about these."

"Mom, you should dress up beautifully at your age!" Yuan Xiao said unhappily.

Chu Jiangping came out and happened to hear this, and agreed: "Xiaoxiao is right. You have a good eye and picked beautiful things."

Wang Yazhi glared at him, her cheeks slightly hot.

Yuan Xiao took out the clothes, "I also bought some clothes. Uncle Chu, this is yours. Try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't..."

"What if it doesn't fit?" he asked.

Yuan Xiao winked at him, "If it doesn't fit, let my mother change it for you."

Chu Jiangping met her timid eyes and tapped her head lovingly, teasing him.

Wang Yazhi picked up the Longines watch box and asked suspiciously, "Why did you buy another watch?"

And this watch is obviously a men's watch.

Yuan Xiao quickly took the watch over, his expression a little unnatural, "Give it as a gift."

Wang Yazhi instantly guessed that it should be a gift for Gu Lanting, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Jiangping's eyes darkened slightly, and he took the watch as if he didn't understand. "It's a men's watch. Is it for your uncle?"

Yuan Xiao frowned in embarrassment. "Uncle Chu, if you want it, can I buy it for you?"

Chu Jiangping put down his watch, "Come in with me."

Yuan Xiao's face fell, and she would be scolded if she went in.

Wang Yazhi saw her wrinkled face and just found it funny, "Go, your uncle Chu wants to talk to you."

Entering the study, Chu Jiangping just raised his hand to pour her tea, and looked at her with his peripheral vision while pouring tea.

"You and Gu Lanting?"

Yuan Xiao simply explained the matter: "We are dating."

Chu Jiangping did not say whether he agreed or not, but just asked: "Xiaoxiao, how much do you know about Gu Lanting?"

In his eyes, Yuan Xiao was not comparable to ordinary girls, so Chu Jiangping naturally would not think that she was not worthy of Gu Lanting.

Gu Lanting's family was upright, and the old man, the old lady, and even Gu Lanting's father were all okay, but Gu Lanting's mother was the only one who was difficult to deal with.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been an ancient problem. "I don't know much about him.
