Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: She is the Wife of the Qi Family and also the Lady of the Cheng Family

Grandma and Elder Sister rarely visited, so although Cheng Su was busy, she took them around everywhere, and they even went to a department store where she bought them two outfits.

”Taiguo daughter-in-law, this is too much money; how can this be right?” Qi Fenglian looked at her new clothes of good quality fabric, feeling a bit guilty.

Cheng Su was so busy, yet she still accompanied them everywhere and spent money, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

”Earned with effort, spent with ease. Isn’t money earned meant to be spent? Elder Sister, don’t worry about it. I can afford this bit of expense,” Cheng Su said with a smile as she picked up a long-sleeved floral dress. ”How about this dress? Let’s buy one for Yunyun.”

As soon as Qi Fenglian saw the price tag, she repeatedly waved her hands in rejection: ”No, no, she’s just a child, how can she wear such an expensive dress? Besides, she’ll just get it dirty running around the village!”

”Who says village children can’t wear nice clothes? She’s already ten years old; kids this age know they like to look pretty,” Cheng Su held up the dress and compared sizes, turning to the sales assistant. ”For a ten-year-old child, is this size enough?”

The sales assistant smiled from ear to ear and said, ”Yes, it’s enough.”

Seeing Cheng Su insistent on buying it, and actually quite fond of the dress herself, Qi Fenglian suggested, ”Buy a size larger so she can wear it for a couple more years.”

In the village, this was common for every family’s children; their clothes would always be bought a size larger so they could continue to wear them as they grew. If they really couldn’t wear them anymore, they’d be passed down to their younger siblings.

Cheng Su laughed: ”Then it won’t fit anymore. We’ll just buy new ones when the time comes,” and she asked the sales assistant to wrap it up.

Mother Qi, watching from the side, spoke up, ”Jianguo and Pingping are going to be in their second year of high school next year, soon to be university students. You should also buy them an outfit each so they look presentable.”

Qi Fenglian frowned slightly, wanting to say something but, remembering that Cheng Su had bought for both her and her daughter, she bit her lip and remained silent.

Cheng Su’s gaze flashed for a moment, and after thinking, she said, ”Sure, winter is nearly here and the new year is just a few months away. So mom, why don’t you pick out some winter clothes for them, and for dad too.”

Mother Qi was very satisfied and hummed in agreement, pulling Qi Fenglian with her to pick out the clothes.

Cheng Su sighed and thought to herself that since she had bought new clothes for her husband’s family, it wouldn’t be right if her family went without. She might as well choose an outfit for her own thrifty parents and younger brother, too.

No sooner had she thought it than she did it. The sales assistant, seeing Cheng Su like a valuable patron, was overflowing with enthusiasm, constantly promoting and recommending items.

When it was time to pay and all the purchases were being bagged, Mother Qi noticed the extra clothes and her brows furrowed.

”Oh, I also picked out an outfit for my own family. When you all leave, could you take it to them for me?” Cheng Su explained with a smile.

Qi Fenglian quickly interjected before Mother Qi could speak, ”Sure, we’ll definitely convey it to the in-laws.”

Cheng Su smiled as she checked out.

Qi Fenglian then pulled her rather disgruntled mother aside, speaking in a lowered voice, ”Mom, don’t be foolish and complain about her buying clothes for her parents’ home. Today, we have spent quite a bit of the Taiguo daughter-in-law’s money.”

”She’s the wife of the Qi family, it’s right for her to be biased towards the Qi family, but such careless spending, what will happen when she has children?” Mother Qi’s face darkened slightly.

”Mom, she is the wife of the Qi family, but she is also the Lady of the Cheng Family, isn’t she? And this is her earned money, we can’t say anything about it. Besides, there are more of us here, so consider us lucky!” Qi Fenglian tried to persuade her in another way.

Mother Qi thought for a moment, then let it go, but still muttered, ”The money she earns is still Taiguo’s.”
