Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Jealousy Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Jealousy New clothes are meant to be worn.
After changing into the new clothes, Su Yunjin didn’t change back.
Wearing that pale yellow dress, she stepped out, and the first to see Su Yunjin in her new dress was Mrs. Chu, the wife of her fifth younger brother. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Su Yunjin’s dress, and Mrs. Chu walked over to her with a smile.
“Third sister-in-law, did you buy a new dress?”
“Mhm, I bought it while I was shopping at the market today.” Su Yunjin had come to give Mrs. Chu some fried cakes, and while talking, she smiled and handed over the fried cakes she was carrying.
“Sister-in-law, these are fried cakes, I saved them for you and my fifth brother. Take them and have a taste!”
Mrs. Chu accepted the fried cakes and praised how nice Su Yunjin’s dress looked, “Third sister-in-law, your dress is really pretty! It really makes your skin look whiter! My skin isn’t as nice as yours; I definitely wouldn’t look as good in it as you do.”
Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law, hadn’t gained any advantage at Su Yunjin’s place today and had ended up with a stomach full of anger. She was just feeling like she had no place to vent when, to her surprise, she came out and saw Su Yunjin wearing a new dress!
With a swoosh, Mrs. Zhang’s face immediately fell.
Look at that dress, look! The material must be really good.
Such a nice dress; Mrs. Zhang had only bought one like that before Gu Ya’s legs were crippled. Back then, the whole Gu Family was made up of hunters, especially Gu Ya, their third brother, who was exceptional at hunting. He could bag quite a lot of valuable game to sell each year; when they caught a lot, the Gu Family lived quite lavishly.
The Gu Family had money, and back in those days, Mrs. Zhang could always make a fuss to get her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, to give her money for new clothes. But after Gu Ya and Lord Gu Chengxiang fell down the mountain together, the Gu Family lost all their money, and it became rare for Mrs. Zhang to have new clothes made. Even when she did, she would buy only the cheapest coarse cloth.
And that wretched Su Yunjin’s clothes obviously cost quite a bit of silver for that fine material!
Mrs. Zhang was grinding her teeth!
And that little wretch Su Yunjin still says she isn’t hiding money?
Making such fine clothes? If she wasn’t hiding money, where did she get the silver to have them made from? The more Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Yunjin’s dress, the angrier she became.
Her face turned completely dark.
Mrs. Han also saw it, and similarly, her face wasn’t looking too good! She didn’t have money to make such nice clothes, yet Su Yunjin could?
After the family split, Mrs. Han had thought their days would get better, but they hadn’t been separated for long when she began to feel that life was rather tight.
Even oil and salt had to be used sparingly!
Yet when she looked at that wretch Su Yunjin and her family, they were buying things and clothes every day, living so comfortably! What was going on? Gu Ya’s legs were ruined, so where did they get the silver from?
She felt both envy and jealousy.
Mrs. Han was suffocating with frustration!
Su Yunjin was talking with Mrs. Chu in the courtyard. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han were glaring at her as if they wanted to devour her whole. How could Su Yunjin not feel it standing there?
She knew those two virtuous sister-in-laws were looking at her again!
Su Yunjin deliberately pretended not to see anything!
Let those two be green with envy.
“Third sister-in-law, it seems like eldest sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law are both looking at you?” Mrs. Chu, who was slow to notice, finally realized it.
Seeing that both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han had unpleasant faces!
Mrs. Chu even worried they might come to cause trouble!
But Su Yunjin looked indifferent, “Let them look! Never mind them!”
