Chapter 153 Buying New Clothes: Zhang Wenying is Getting More and More Beautiful
Zhang Wenying went there after she finished her work.
That place is really nice.
The streets were clean and tidy, with no rotten vegetable leaves, no stinky toilet smell, and no stray dogs running around.
Everywhere you look, there are brand-new buildings with sparkling clean windows, and many balconies are decorated with lush green plants.
The streets are lined with trees and flowers, which is a delightful sight.
All the shops in the farmers' market have the same signboard, all neat and tidy, unlike here, where they're all scattered and look messy.
The vegetable stalls were all set up properly, and there was a fair scale at the entrance of the market so that anyone who shortchanged anyone could immediately seek redress from the market manager.
Unlike here, where shortchanging is common and there's no one to complain to.
Zhang Wenying and her eldest daughter looked around and arrived at the entrance of a clothing store they frequented.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, come in and take a look. What would you like to buy today?"
Zhang Wenying and her daughter are regular customers; even if they don't buy clothes, they're happy to come in and sit down.
The proprietress greeted them warmly, wiping the counter while observing Zhang Wenying's expression.
Zhang Wenying looked around, picked out a light blue dress from the row of clothes hanging there, and held it up against herself: "Xiaojuan, does this dress look good on Mom?"
As she spoke, she lifted the skirt to her daughter's chest, then stepped back half a step to examine it closely.
Xiaojuan smiled and said, "Mom, it looks great."
The dress has a refreshing color that makes your skin look fair.
The proprietress immediately chimed in, "That's right, this material is breathable, it's the most comfortable to wear in summer."
"Mr. Zhang, you have excellent taste! This is a new style from last month, and there are only two left. If you like it, shall I wrap it up for you?"
Zhang Wenying touched the fabric, glanced at the price tag, hesitated for a moment, and then put the skirt back where it was: "Never mind, let's look at some others."
This dress is priced at 300, which is a bit expensive.
Upon seeing this, the proprietress quickly said, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, this is the retail price."
If you want it, I'll give you the wholesale price, 100 yuan.
This is the most popular cotton-silk fabric right now. It drapes beautifully and doesn't wrinkle easily. Feel the texture; it's like silk.
Zhang Wenying picked up the skirt again, squeezed it in her hand, and found it was indeed smooth.
"These are export goods, the quality is excellent. I just sold 3,000 pieces last week, and there are only two left in the store, out of stock."
This fits you perfectly.
We've known each other for a long time. I don't even make any money from this; consider it a gift for you.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenying immediately took out her money and bought it.
One hundred dollars is a huge sum of money over there, but it's not worth much here.
She really liked the dress; the color suited her, and it was both elegant and cool to wear out.
After looking around, Zhang Wenying bought three short-sleeved shirts and two light-colored trousers for her little girl, spending less than 300 yuan in total.
Zhang Wenying thought the dark blue overalls were perfect for her little daughter.
When Li Xiaomei saw so many new clothes, she couldn't help but jump up with joy and hugged the clothes to try them on.
"Mom, I have enough clothes."
My sister gave me a tracksuit a couple of days ago, but I haven't worn it yet.
Zhang Wenying smiled and patted her head: "Keep that set for school, and wear these other pieces every day."
Women and girls are always missing a beautiful dress.
Mom doesn't lack money now.
When your sister was your age, she didn't have this many new clothes to wear.
Now that life is better, we should dress up when we feel like it.
Remember, last year's old clothes will never do justice to the amazing you this year.
Li Xiaojuan listened from the side, feeling warm inside, but jokingly said, "Mom, the way you're saying that makes it sound like I was wronged a lot when I was little."
Zhang Wenying turned her head and glanced at her eldest daughter with some guilt.
Wouldn't that make her suffer?
Because she was a girl, her family looked down on her and made her drop out of school early to work, leaving the opportunity to study to her older brother.
The housework always fell to her and her sister.
She always felt indebted to her sensible eldest daughter.
Now that life is better, I always want to make it up to her.
"Daughter, I was confused before. I always thought that once you grew up, you would belong to someone else's family. Not only did I ruin your studies, but I also married you off to that hellhole of the Han family. I'm so sorry."
Zhang Wenying's voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes were red.
Li Xiaojuan quickly took her arm.
"Mom, please don't say that. The past is the past, and I'm doing just fine now, aren't I?"
Life is what you make of it. Look at me now, am I any worse off than anyone else?
Without you, how would I have had the courage to divorce Han Jun?
Where can you find a house with such a big yard?
Where else can you earn money every day without having to live at the mercy of others?
You gave me confidence and showed me that women can live beautifully on their own.
Even if she were to get into university, let alone have the opportunity to go to school, she might not be able to live a better life than she does now.
Zhang Wenying wiped her eyes and patted the back of her hand: "Okay, as long as my daughter doesn't resent her mother, I'll be content."
"From now on, Mom will definitely make it up to you and make sure you and Xiaomei live a good life." Li Xiaojuan smiled and nodded.
"Then you'd better keep your word."
From now on, you can just enjoy life, and Xiaomei and I will make you proud.
The three were enjoying themselves when Zhang Wenying turned her head and saw Li Jianguo peeking out from not far away.
Li Jianguo felt that Zhang Wenying was getting prettier and prettier, whether it was his imagination or not.
Today she was wearing a light blue floral short-sleeved shirt and light gray trousers. Her hair was neatly pinned up at the back of her head, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck. She exuded a refreshing and neat vibe.
Even though his clothes were still simple, they couldn't hide his spirit and energy.
Unexpectedly, this old hag has become better at dressing herself since leaving him. Dressed like this, she looks slimmer and longer, and even more attractive than when she was younger.
Li Jianguo swallowed, feeling a sour feeling in his heart, mixed with an indescribable itch.
Just as he was about to go up and strike up a conversation, he saw a car stop in front of the braised meat shop. Soon, a well-dressed middle-aged man got out of the car, carrying a briefcase, and walked straight toward Zhang Wenying.
Zhang Wenying greeted him with a smile. The man walked straight into the shop, and Zhang Wenying warmly welcomed him, serving him tea and water, as well as fragrant braised meat and several side dishes.
The man ate with a satisfied expression, while Zhang Wenying smiled warmly. The two chatted and laughed, appearing to be very familiar with each other.
Li Jianguo felt an even stronger pang of jealousy. He clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and push the man away.
That shameless Zhang Wenying actually dared to seduce other men behind his back!
He himself is still keeping himself pure for him and hasn't looked for other women, but she's already climbed up the social ladder so quickly!
