Jiang Xu went to do his own things. Gu Ning took a taxi with Gu Man and Gu Ning and went directly to the downtown business building.
When they arrived at the Commercial Building in the city center, Gu Ning said to look at the clothes first, but was immediately stopped by Gu Qing: "Ning Ning, you bought us clothes yesterday, so don't waste money on buying more."
"How can two pieces be enough to change clothes! Moreover, my mother and I have almost lost all our clothes, and there are only a few pieces left. Don't worry! We won't buy high-end brands this time, just ordinary ones." Gu Ning She reassured them, knowing that they were afraid of wasting money, but she and Gu Man really didn't have many clothes! And I don’t plan to buy anything high-end this time.
Luxury goods, it’s good to have a few, so you can have them when attending important gatherings or events.
On weekdays, just wear normal clothes.
High-end is just a name you wear. There are many mid-range brands whose quality is no worse than high-end.
Since Gu Ning said this, Gu Qing was naturally speechless.
Gu Ning and his group came to the mid-range area, found a store suitable for Gu Man and Gu Qing's age, and walked in to take a look.
Although it is only a mid-range area, the clothes cost hundreds or thousands. For Gu Man and Gu Qing, it is a high-end place and they have never been there.
So, when I went in, I was a little timid.
Gu Qing and Gu Man were not well-dressed, and they didn't look like they were rich. In addition, their timid appearance made the shopping guide directly conclude that they couldn't afford it at all, so they didn't even bother to say hello.
Gu Ning didn't care, he just took Gu Qing and Gu Man to watch, if he liked it, he would buy it, if he didn't like it, he would leave.
Gu Qing saw that the dress was good, and then she looked at the price tag and was immediately shocked: "This is so expensive! It costs one thousand and eighty yuan!"
One thousand and eighty, that’s half a month’s salary!
Although she knew that the clothes Gu Ning bought for them yesterday were more expensive, she had already bought them and it was no use feeling distressed. Now she could see them with her own eyes! That feeling is more painful.
However, as soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, there was a sarcastic female voice: "Ha! It's only one thousand and eighty yuan. If you can't afford it, don't come in. You're just pretending! You're a local guy, you only deserve to buy street stall stuff." .”
These words immediately made Gu Qing's face turn red with embarrassment and she lowered her head.
Gu Ning's face darkened, and when he looked at the woman, she saw a familiar face. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise evilly, and he shouted meaningfully: "Yo! It turns out to be Ms. Jin!"
As soon as the other party heard this voice, his eyes also fell on Gu Ning, and he recognized her at a glance. His expression suddenly became ugly, and his eyes were a little evasive: "Who are you! I don't know you. .”
The woman's guilty conscience convinced Gu Ning that she must have taken the jewelry to appraise the results, otherwise she would be slandered and the other party would only be angry when seeing her again, not guilty.
"Don't you remember? It was last Sunday, at the Aiyuan Jewelry Store..." Gu Ning reminded with pretense of kindness.
At the mention of this, the woman looked panicked, and before Gu Ning could finish speaking, she hurriedly interrupted: "Shut up."
"Sister, what's wrong?" At this time, a woman in her early forties, dressed elegantly, came from the side. When she saw Gu Ning and the others, her eyes widened in surprise.
When Gu Qing and Gu Man saw each other, they were obviously startled and a little uncomfortable.
Gu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, with a bit of coldness.
Lin Lijuan, Gu Xiaoxiao’s mother. "Gu Qing, Gu Man, why are you here?" Lin Lijuan asked in surprise.
Of course she is here, and they are here to look at their clothes, but Gu Qing and Gu Man are so poor and have always been wearing street stalls, how can they afford to come here!
Gu Qing and Gu Man didn't want to pay attention to Lin Lijuan, but they were relatives after all. They were in public, so when people asked them, they didn't answer.
Therefore, Gu Qing said perfunctorily: "Just come and take a look."
Gu Qing said this because she didn't want to know that they were here to buy clothes.
In front of her, they will always be poor!
"Ha! I thought you had picked up money! You can actually afford to come to a place like this. It turns out you were just looking!" After hearing this, Lin Lijuan suddenly became angry, and her deep contempt and disgust were undisguised.
"Sister Lin, do you know them?" the woman named Jin asked.
"Ha! Yes! Aren't they the eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law I told you about!" Lin Lijuan sneered in disgust. The terms "eldest sister-in-law" and "younger sister-in-law" are full of discrimination.
'As I said', it seems that Lin Lijuan is doing a lot of choreographing for Gu Qing and Gu Man outside!
Hearing this, the woman surnamed Jin looked at Gu Qing and Gu Man with even more disgust, but because of Gu Ning, she did not make any sarcasm.
"Gu Man, you are quite stubborn! You would rather move out of the old house than apologize." Although Lin Lijuan still felt resentful about Gu Ning not apologizing, Gu Ning and her daughter had already paid the price and were kicked out of the old house. , so I am not as angry as before.
However, now that she saw Gu Qing and Gu Man together, she thought that Gu Qing had taken in Gu Man, which made her feel resentful again: "Gu Qing, you shouldn't have taken in Gu Man! The old lady said, you If you take Gu Man in, if you have any difficulties in the future, the Gu family will not help you."
He said this as if he often helped Gu Qing.
As a result, Gu Ning, who had been ignored, couldn't help but burst into laughter. Of course, this laughter was full of irony.
Lin Lijuan noticed Gu Ning only after hearing Gu Ning's voice, but she was slightly surprised when she saw Gu Ning at the first sight.
Yes, it was amazing, because Gu Ning gave her a different feeling now than before.
Gu Ning actually looked more beautiful than before, and the submissive look was gone, and she actually had an elegant temperament.
"Mrs. Gu said that the Gu family seemed to have helped the second aunt. From the time when the second aunt got married to now, there has been no difficulty that she has not overcome by herself!" Gu Ning looked at Lin Lijuan with a half-smile, and her tone was unabashedly sarcastic. .
Hearing this, Lin Lijuan reacted and her face suddenly darkened.
Although Gu Ning's words were good, saying them was undoubtedly a slap in the face and made her feel embarrassed.
However, then, Gu Qing was not to be outdone and retorted: "Lin Lijuan, our family has never received a dime of help from your family, don't make it sound like our family has received a lot of favors from your family. Moreover, the fourth child is not at all Not staying at my house.”
She really didn't get any help from Gu Qingxiang's family, so why should she let Lin Lijuan talk nonsense and take advantage of her reputation
"You..." This time, Lin Lijuan's face became even uglier, but the words had already been spoken. If she didn't want to be embarrassed, she had no choice but to confirm this matter.
