On the other side, Father Xiao took Mother Xiao to the largest shopping mall in Jianggan City.
They were not strangers to this city since they had visited Jianggan City before.
Father Xiao just wanted to stroll around with his wife and buy her any beautiful clothes, skirts, or jewelry that caught his eye.
Looking at his wifes smooth forehead, Father Xiao suddenly said earnestly,
Wife, I feel like youre missing something!
Mother Xiao was perplexed and asked, What?
Beautiful jewelry! Father Xiao said seriously, Arent all women fond of gold and silver jewelry?
Mother Xiao was taken aback. When had she ever said she liked these things?
Feeling somewhat helpless, Mother Xiao replied, That wont be necessary. The jewelry box you bought is already full of gold and silver jewelry.
Is it full? Father Xiao said matter-of-factly, Then, lets buy another jewelry box.
Mother Xiao replied, No need, its too extravagant.
Its only natural for a man to earn money and for a woman to spend it, Father Xiao declared boldly. Rest assured, wife, I may not be very capable, but I can certainly afford to buy you gold and silver jewelry. Come, lets go take a look. As soon as he finished speaking, a snicker could be heard from behind.
Then, someone mocked, Bro, listen to this guy bragging about things he cant afford. Hee hee Dressed like a pauper and still dreaming of buying gold and silver jewelry. Doesnt he know how expensive gold is these days?
Xiao Wanshan and Mother Xiao turned around and saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in a pink skirt, clinging to a man in his mid-twenties, jeering at them.
Hearing this, Xiao Wanshan became infuriated. Just as he was about to lash out, Mother Xiao quickly pulled him back and placated him. Husband, let it go, shes just a young girl. You shouldnt hold a grudge against her. Didnt you say you were going to buy me gold and silver jewelry? Lets go now! After all, she was just a child, and they shouldnt stoop to her level.
Only Mother Xiao could tame Father Xiaos temper.
Mother Xiao quickly took Father Xiao to a jewelry store in the shopping mall.
Seeing them actually heading to a jewelry store, Shi Zhuer, the girl who had mocked them, stomped her foot in anger and said to her brother, Brother, come, accompany me to buy jewelry!
At his sisters words, Shi Xia was momentarily speechless, Sister, why do you care about their business? Whether they have money or not has nothing to do with you. Theres no need for you to get angry over it.
Shi Zhuer said petulantly, But I cant stand people who pretend to be richer than they are. They obviously dont have much money, yet they spend it lavishly.
Shi Xia frowned and advised, Sister, its their money, not yours, why should you care?
Come, follow me to see! Shi Zhu pulled her brother along to the same jewelry store.
Shi Xia,
Upon entering the jewelry store, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao went straight to the gold section.
Well, when men choose jewelry, the bigger and heavier, the better.
Father Xiao picked out a thick necklace and said, Wife, this necklace is good, lets buy this one.
Mother Xiao rolled her eyes, retorting disgruntledly, Its ugly. Youre the only one who thinks this necklace looks good.
With such a thick chain, its as if were second-rate gangsters on the street, or more like those overnight millionaires mentioned on TV, who only flaunt their wealth without having any taste!
But Xiaos father defended, But this necklace is thick.
Xiaos mother chided with a smile, Its not like were buying it to leash a dog, and youre concerned about its thickness. When we women buy necklaces, we look for whats appropriate and beautiful, not how thick it is.
Xiaos father appeasingly responded, Alright, wife, Ill buy for you, you choose. choose. No matter which one you pick, Ill buy it for you. Oh, right, when buying a necklace, we must also buy a pendant, otherwise whats so attractive about just a chain?
The waitress had come up earlier and began to promote their products to them, patiently introducing each necklace and pendant.
After a while, Xiaos mother selected a necklace and a pendant.
Xiaos father immediately called out, Come on, tell us how much these are!
The waitress immediately took the calculator and said, The gold price is 285 per gram, this necklace is fifteen grams, the processing fee is 15 per gram, which adds up to 4500 yuan. The pendant is 5-53 grams, the processing fee is 22 per gram, which adds up to 1697-7 yuan. So the total cost is 6197-7 yuan. Today our store is having a promotion, offering a 95% discount, so the discounted price is 5972.7 yuan. Sir, are you paying in cash or by card?
Just when Xiaos father was about to say by card, Shi Zhuer who had just ridiculed them suddenly appeared behind them again and loudly said, I want a necklace and pendant like these too, are there any more?
Xiaos mother frowned slightly.
The waitress said somewhat awkwardly, Im sorry, madam, we only carry one of each design in our store. Why dont you take a look at our other styles? We have many other beautiful designs that are more suitable for young ladies like you.
But Shi Zhuer replied, Who said Im buying it for myself? Im buying it for my mother. I just happened to like these two designs. She definitely doesnt want something so old-fashioned.
She then suddenly raised her voice, How about this, I will offer double the price for the necklace and pendant in their hands!
Shi Xia , Little sister, thats not how to spend money either.
Xiao Wanshans face darkened, a brewing rage flashed across his face. He pointed at Shi Zhuer and bellowed, Little girl, youre doing this on purpose, arent you? Out of all the jewelry here, you just had to want the ones we picked?
Ignoring his angry outburst, Shi Zhuer wore a triumphant smile and laughingly said, Yes, uncle, I did it on purpose. If you can, why dont you pay double the price too? If you do, I wont compete with you.
Instead of getting angry, Xiao Wanshan laughed upon hearing her words and said, Oh, double? Why would I pay double for something I can get cheaper? My money didnt just fall out of the sky.
After a moments pause, he skeptically turned to the waitress and Shi Zhuer, Oh, I see. Is this your store? You want to dupe customers this way, is that it? If you can sell at double the price, of course, youd make more than double the profit. So, you want to scam as many customers as you can, isnt that right?
The waitresss face changed instantly, she hastily replied, Sir, you misunderstood. We dont know this lady at all, she has nothing to do with our store.
This was a question of the stores credibility and reputation, a clarification was necessary.
Then, she turned to Shi Zhuer and said, Im sorry, madam, since these two customers were interested in them first, no matter how much you offer, if they want to buy, we have to sell to them.
Upon hearing the waitresss explanation, in order to avoid further trouble, Xiaos mother swiftly pulled Xiao Wanshan and said Husband, lets pay. After we pay, well leave.
Xiao Wanshan didnt want to engage in a meaningless dispute with a young girl. He took out his card, swiped it, took the items and left.
Shi Zhuer was left behind, fuming and staring at their receding figures.
Xiao Wanshan glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said to Xiaos mother, That girl is really inexplicable. Is her brain not working properly? Xiaos mother shook her head and said, Who knows?
Shi Zhuer and Shi Xia, Whos the one thats not normal? They are the ones who are not normal..
