She raised her head and glanced at Ye Linlin with disdain.
“Big sister, what are you joking about? I can’t decide this price, and we’re not like those mobile street vendors outside.”
Ye Linlin was about to say she didn’t want it when a hand with distinct joints stretched out next to her and placed a few cloth coupons and several big unity bills on the counter.
The salesperson took them and carefully counted them twice. After confirming that there were no problems, she put the money into the counter and gave Su Chenhuai the change.
She packed the clothes quickly and handed them to Su Chenhuai.
“Want to look at anything else? Does this brother want to buy something?”
The salesperson looked at Ye Cheng next to him.
“I don’t need anything. Linlin, are you still looking at your clothes?”
Ye Cheng waved his hand when he heard the salesperson’s words, and then turned his head and asked Ye Linlin a little awkwardly. It was all his fault for being forgetful and delaying his sister from buying wedding clothes.
“I won’t look today, I’ll come back in a few days, or let my mom make me a set, I think the clothes my mom makes are better looking, let’s go.”
Ye Linlin was telling the truth, Liu Xihong worked in a tailor shop when she was young and had a pair of skillful hands.
Ye Linlin’s clothes were all made by Liu Xihong in fashionable styles, no worse than the styles in this department store.
Although the wedding was coming up soon and there were many things to do, there wasn’t enough time to make two sets of clothes, but taking some time to make one set should still be possible.
“Buy it, I still have money and cloth coupons.”
After Su Chenhuai finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the women’s clothing counter.
Ye Cheng pulled Ye Linlin to follow.
“Let’s go, let’s take a look, at worst we’ll pay him back when we get back to the township.”
As soon as they arrived at the women’s clothing counter, Ye Linlin saw two familiar figures.
Bai Ni and Wang Junbao were looking at a gray-blue round-neck sweater.
The clothes were covered with flower-shaped embroidery, and each small flower was adorned with a white bead, which was extremely elegant.
“Brother Junbao, I think this one is good.”
Bai Ni raised her head and showed Wang Junbao a sweet smile, but saw Ye Linlin and the three of them walking over, and her smile froze for a moment.
Seeing Bai Ni’s abnormal expression, Wang Junbao followed her gaze and turned his head, also seeing the people coming over. He snorted coldly and ignored them.
Bai Ni didn’t want to see Ye Linlin the most at this time.
When she got home last night, she counted the money she had saved, a total of 34 yuan and 80 cents, plus 150 yuan from selling the watch, she was still short 108 yuan and 20 cents.
In two days it was Bai Ni’s birthday, and Wang Junbao had long promised to buy Bai Ni new clothes as a birthday gift.
He happened to be free today, so he rode his bicycle with Bai Ni to the county seat.
Bai Ni also wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Wang Junbao, and then open her mouth to talk about money.
The two didn’t arrive in the county until almost noon, and Wang Junbao said he would take her to the state-owned restaurant to eat.
She was also very happy to order two vegetarian dishes, after all, the state-owned restaurant was not a place that people like her could afford to eat, this was her first time going.
Just after taking two bites, wanting to talk to Wang Junbao about borrowing money, she saw Ye Linlin and the three of them come in and sit diagonally across from them, but due to the angle, the three of them didn’t see them.
Hearing Ye Linlin say that she had never been to a state-owned restaurant, she felt much more balanced in her heart, even if she had good conditions, didn’t she also never come here like herself? As a result, Su Chenhuai turned around and ordered several expensive dishes.
Watching the three of them eat with relish, Bai Ni instantly felt that the vegetarian dishes that were originally quite delicious were a bit bitter.
Especially when she saw Su Chenhuai pay the bill and spend five yuan and two cents, she completely lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and looked up, and saw that Wang Junbao also had a gloomy face.
However, unlike her thoughts, Wang Junbao felt that he had been so unwelcome by Ye Linlin before.
Every time he saw her, she was indifferent, and he couldn’t even eat a meal with her.
Now she was actually serving soup to another man, and the difference in his heart was too great.
Earlier in the state-owned restaurant, Bai Ni felt that she was eating poorly and was embarrassed to speak up, but now she had to add some blockage to Ye Linlin.
“Are you afraid that people don’t want you, buying clothes to please them? You’re quite willing, the clothes here aren’t cheap, right?”
As the group approached, Bai Ni looked at the clothes in Su Chenhuai’s hand and spoke in a strange tone.
“Does this department store still let dogs in? Why do I seem to hear a dog barking?”
Ye Linlin originally wanted to treat the two as air, but Bai Ni came up to be scolded.
“Who are you calling a dog?”
Bai Ni didn’t expect Ye Linlin to start scolding people, and her face turned red with anger, and her hands hanging by her sides clenched her fists tightly.
“Whoever answers is the one! Oh, it’s you! Yesterday I just said that I hoped the next time we met would be when you paid back the money, so? Have you raised enough money?”
“You…”
Bai Ni stomped her feet angrily and turned around to return to Wang Junbao’s side.
“See if there’s anything you like?”
Ye Linlin was too lazy to pay attention to Bai Ni. Hearing Su Chenhuai’s words, she turned her gaze to the counter.
There were more styles of women’s clothing than men’s clothing, but in Ye Linlin’s opinion, who had seen various fashion magazines, these styles were too rustic.
Ye Linlin saw that people in period dramas wore red suit sets for weddings, but there were none hanging on the wall, so she opened her mouth and asked the salesperson.
“Big sister, do you have clothes for weddings here?”
Hearing Ye Linlin ask about wedding clothes, Bai Ni and Wang Junbao both turned their heads and glanced, but quickly looked away again.
“Girl, it’s good to wear red for weddings. I have red suits, red sweaters, red skirts, and a newly arrived red woolen coat. I’ll take them all out for you to see.”
The women’s clothing salesperson who was receiving them was enthusiastic and recommended them to Ye Linlin.
“Okay, thank you, big sister.”
Ye Linlin thanked with a smile, her pair of peach blossom eyes slightly curved, with a bit of playfulness.
“It’s okay, wait a moment.”
The salesperson squatted down and took out a woolen coat from under the counter and handed it to Ye Linlin, then squatted down to continue looking for clothes.
This salesperson had a good eye, this was a red slim-fitting woolen coat, the collar was a popular small lapel, a same-colored belt at the waist, and two buttons on the cuffs for decoration.
Ye Linlin took the coat and put it on, it was indeed very beautiful.
The slim-fitting style perfectly showed her slender waist, and the coat fit Ye Linlin’s curvy figure, highlighting a bit of mature charm.
The length was just past the knee, which was a bit short, but fortunately Ye Linlin’s net height was 1.68 meters, which could support it.
Wang Junbao on the other side had actually been paying attention to this side, and his eyes flashed with amazement when he saw Ye Linlin’s appearance.
“Just this one, do you think it looks good?”
Ye Linlin looked at Su Chenhuai next to her, who was staring at her.
Su Chenhuai nodded.
“Good looking. It suits you very well.”
“Linlin, it’s so beautiful, my sister is really a clothes rack, more beautiful than the actresses in the movies.”
Hearing Ye Cheng’s praise, Ye Linlin felt it was a bit exaggerated, but unexpectedly heard Su Chenhuai also gently “hmm”ed.
Ye Linlin was a little blushed. Although the era she lived in in her previous life was very open, she had been working hard and had no intention of falling in love. She finally had a successful career, and she came here after taking a bath.
She didn’t know if it was because they had done the most intimate thing, or because of the relationship between fiancé and fiancée, that she felt a little shy when facing Su Chenhuai’s praise.
“Have you decided on this sweater? Someone else wants to see it.”
