"Dad, Mom, you should quickly go back inside and try them on," Jiang Xue laughed along, urging the two of them to return to their room to try on the clothes.
Mu Siwu took the clothes, but instead of leaving immediately, he glanced at the clothes in his hand and then said, "Xue’er, these clothes must have cost quite a bit."
He could tell the quality of the clothes was very good, the price must be relatively high. Mainly because, he knew Jiang Xue didn’t have much money, not to mention buying two sets of clothes, probably not even one set.
But Jiang Xue, seemed to have bought more than just two sets. He had seen several bags. If you calculate it as one set of clothes per bag, there were at least six or seven sets.
"Not much!" Jiang Xue smiled, not intending to tell them how much she spent, fearing they would be reluctant to wear them.
Now that she’s earning money, not to mention buying clothes, she even plans to build a house in the future, intending to buy even better and more valuable things for the elderly couple.
Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu are a couple, so upon hearing her husband’s words, she naturally understood his meaning and said, "Xue’er, we are very happy you bought us clothes. But you need to spend this money frugally, understand?"
After listening to Bai Yuhua’s words, Jiang Xue understood what her father-in-law meant by his earlier question, so her smile faded, and she stepped forward to hold Bai Yuhua’s hand, saying, "Mom, I understand your concern. Don’t worry, I won’t spend money recklessly."
Thinking for a moment, she explained, "I bought you clothes today because I earned some money."
"You earned this money yourself?" Bai Yuhua was taken aback; she always thought Jiang Xue was spending her son’s money. But she said she earned it herself, surprising her.
Jiang Xue left today just carrying a child, with diapers in her hand. She didn’t even carry anything else, so how did she earn this money?
Could she have done something bad?
Bai Yuhua thought as such, and it immediately showed on her face. Jiang Xue quickly said, "Mom, don’t overthink it, I haven’t done anything bad. This money was earned cleanly and legitimately."
"Then tell me, how did you earn this money?" Bai Yuhua still wasn’t at ease, fearing Jiang Xue was young and got tricked.
"Mom, didn’t I go to the market a few days ago to buy a brush and xuan paper? After I bought them back, I wrote a few calligraphy pieces and brought them to the county to sell today. So this money was earned in an open and honest way, you can rest assured."
"What, your calligraphy can make money, really?" Bai Yuhua was surprised again; she had never heard that you could make money from writing calligraphy.
"Mom, it’s certainly true, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Dad." Jiang Xue knew Bai Yuhua didn’t have much knowledge about this. But Mu Siwu was different; he should know.
"Dear, is it true?" Bai Yuhua turned to ask Mu Siwu.
"It’s true!" Mu Siwu nodded, then looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Xue’er, since this money was earned from your calligraphy, we have nothing else to say. Your mom and I had no other intentions, just worried because you’re young and might get deceived."
"Dad, I understand." Jiang Xue smiled, then pointed at the clothes in their hands and said, "Now, can you try on the new clothes?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N0velFire.ɴet
"Alright, we’ll go change right away." Mu Siwu took Bai Yuhua back to the room.
After a short while, the two of them came back in front of Jiang Xue.
It’s true what they say, clothes make the man. The in-laws looked much more elegant wearing the new clothes, instantly elevating their whole demeanor several notches.
