The villagers were honest and simple-minded; they just thought Bai Jingyue was kind and gentle, and wanted to befriend her son.
However, seeing Lu Jianshen dressed in a suit and leather shoes, it was somewhat inappropriate.
Aunt Bai's son was dressed just like the people on TV, and he looked unapproachable. He must be a high-ranking official in the city!
Ah Fei scratched his head, his face flushed and dark with embarrassment. "How about we forget it? I'll go first and bring you some wild pigeons at noon."
Tang Li was very interested in what he said about catching rabbits and hunting pheasants.
"Ah Fei, are there still rabbits and pheasants in this cold weather? Can I come with you?"
She glanced down at her snow boots and said, "I have sneakers here, I'll change my shoes."
Afei nodded and agreed with a smile. His wife would also go, so she could keep Tang Li company.
Lu Jianshen immediately said, "Then I'll go with you."
Tang Li had long been annoyed by his attire.
Now I've finally found an opportunity to peel back his skin.
She wanted to play a trick on Lu Jianshen and get revenge for last night.
"Afei, wait for us a moment. We'll go to the village entrance to buy some clothes for him to change into. His clothes don't fit."
Lu Jianshen didn't refute anything. Of course, he knew that his suit wasn't suitable for hunting rabbits.
Tang Li hurried to the small shop at the entrance of the village, and fortunately, the shop had a fairly complete selection of goods.
Perhaps to serve the elderly in the village, the cotton-padded clothes are all very traditional in style.
Tang Li's gaze swept over the rows of clothes in front of her, and she couldn't help but reveal a playful smile in her eyes.
She was quite curious to see what Lu Jianshen would look like in such an outfit; it would probably be hilarious.
Then she'll secretly take some photos and show them to Ah Lu when she gets home.
Lu Jianshen followed Tang Li into the small shop at the entrance of the village.
Seeing Tang Li staring at the old men's cotton-padded coats in front of her, her eyes crinkling with a smile, it was clear that she had no good intentions!
Lu Jianshen cleared his throat and asked, feigning confusion, "Which outfit do you think looks better?"
Tang Li pointed mercilessly to the most outdated set on the wall.
"This one is perfect for you."
Lu Jianshen narrowed his eyes, knowing she had ill intentions, but still went along with Tang Li's wishes and asked the shopkeeper at the village entrance to bring him the cotton-padded coat.
I'll also change into a pair of plush sneakers, the kind you can wear for field work and hunting.
"The cotton-padded coat is 70 yuan, the shoes are 20 yuan, that's 90 yuan in total!"
Lu Jianshen was stunned for a moment. His suits were never less than 50,000 yuan, but this heavy black cotton coat cost 700,000 yuan!
Tang Li saw his stunned expression and knew that he hadn't realized how cheap the prices were in the small mountain village.
"Wait a moment, let's pay together. There are still some things we haven't bought."
Tang Li then took 40 eggs and two bottles of shampoo from the shelf next to her. With so many people around, she also needed to change the towels at home, and she wanted to buy two hot water bottles to warm her hands.
Bai Jingyue's cotton shoes are worn out; she should get a new, warm pair.
Women's purchasing power is astonishing. In no time, the three large red plastic bags that Tang Li was carrying were bulging.
All of these things together cost just over 200.
The prices in the mountainous area once again surprised Lu Jianshen.
Although the things here look a bit strange, you have to admit they are good quality and inexpensive.
Lu Jianshen noticed that Tang Li had taken a pair of women's cotton shoes, which were clearly not her size.
He casually asked, "How did you know my mom's shoe size?"
"Didn't you notice? Auntie's shoes just fell apart!"
Lu Jianshen frowned; he genuinely hadn't noticed that Bai Jingyue's shoes were broken.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
He was about to ask when Tang Li interrupted him, "Those shoes aren't slip-resistant, can't you tell?"
Bai Jingyue almost slipped in the front courtyard today because of the shoes she was wearing, but luckily she didn't fall!
Lu Jianshen nodded.
Oh, I see. He wasn't careful enough and didn't notice.
Lu Jianshen was carrying three large bags, while Tang Li followed behind him empty-handed.
When she got home, she gave the new cotton shoes to Bai Jingyue to wear, but Bai Jingyue was a little reluctant to spend the money.
She was used to living in this mountain village, and even though she knew her son and daughter-in-law were very wealthy, she was still used to being frugal.
"My shoes aren't broken."
"Ah...Mom." Tang Li still preferred to call her Auntie, but she was afraid that Bai Jingyue might have ulterior motives.
She said, "The soles of the shoes you're wearing are all worn down. They're easy to slip on in this snowy weather. If you fall, it will be difficult to get medical help in this heavy snow."
Bai Jingyue felt a warm glow in her heart when she heard her daughter's thoughtful words.
Bai Jingyue gently took Tang Li's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "You're much more thoughtful than that brat Ashen!"
Tang Li smiled; she was actually more looking forward to seeing Lu Jianshen wearing that big black cotton-padded coat.
It would be so tacky, right?
She couldn't wait to take out her phone and secretly take pictures to record it.
The next time Lu Jianshen upsets her, she will print out that ugly photo, stand at the entrance of Lu's Group, and distribute it to every employee of Lu's Group.
Tang Li thought about her meticulous plan and felt a surge of pride. As expected of her!
But when she saw Lu Jianshen, she was stunned. This man had broken the rules!
How could anyone wear such a dowdy and heavy black robe...
