BXBX NOVEL Chapter 294 - 294 So Envious!
A younger sister-in-law and a sister of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Xiaoyu wearing a red jacket with curiosity in their eyes. “Did you buy it in the county city?”
There was no such quality and style in town.
Zhou Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “My sister-in-law gave it to me. She bought it from Sea City’s Great Shang City!”
!!
“Ah, the things in Great Shang City are not cheap! Especially since this seems to be a big brand.” Zhou Xiaomei looked at the brand logo on the clothes with envy.
Zhou Xiaomei was a university student and had some knowledge of these things.
Zhou Xiaoyu did not know how much her clothes cost, nor did she know what brand it was. She asked, “Little sister, how much do my clothes cost in Great Shang City?”
“Sister, don’t you know?” Zhou Xiaomei was a little surprised. “This kind of branded clothes is usually sold in branded shops. For your clothes, if you don’t give a discount, they will cost at least 3,000 dollars each!”
“What? So expensive?” Zhou Xiaoyu was surprised. “This dress costs 3,000 dollars?”
“That’s right. This brand of clothes is so expensive!” Zhou Xiaomei nodded and said, “Sister, your sister-in-law is really generous. She even gave you such expensive clothes.
Zhou Xiaoyu carefully touched the clothes on her body and shook her head. “Not only did my sister-in-law give each of us clothes, but she also gave each of us a set of cosmetics and jewelry. As for the cosmetics, I checked online. They’re also up to 4,000 dollars a set. And the jewelry is at least 5,000 dollars.”
When Zhou Xiaomei and her sister-in-law heard this, they revealed envious expressions.
Zhou Xiaomei said in surprise, “Sister, I knew that your in-law’s Auntie was rich. I didn’t expect her to be so rich. She even gave you such expensive gifts. Damn, doesn’t the Shi family still have an unmarried brother-in-law? I’ll marry one of them!”
“Pfft!”
As soon as Zhou Xiaomei finished speaking, Sister-in-law Zhou could not help but laugh.
Zhou Xiaoyu patted Zhou Xiaomei’s head and said speechlessly, “What nonsense are you talking about? Marriage is based on mutual consent. You haven’t even seen my two brothers-in-law, so how can you say that you’re going to marry them? Aren’t you ashamed?!”
Zhou Xiaomei rubbed her aching head and said angrily, “Sister, I’m all grown up now. I’m already a university student. Why are you still hitting my head? I was lucky not to be beaten silly by you when I was young!”
Zhou Xiaoyu said, “Hmph, even if you’re gray-haired, you’re still my sister. I’ll still hit you if I have to!”
Zhou Xiaomei wheedled to her sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, look at my sister. She only knows how to bully me!”
Sister-in-law Zhou laughed and said, “Haha, Little Sister, what your sister said is not wrong either!”
Then, Sister-in-law Zhou said to Zhou Xiaoyu, “Sister, Brother-in-law, let’s go in and talk. It’s cold outside!”
Logically speaking, Sister-in-law Zhou should have returned to her mother’s house.
However, Sister-in-law Zhou’s parents were no longer around. Her maternal family only had an unmarried younger brother. However, her younger brother was working out of town and did not come back for the New Year.
Therefore, it was meaningless for her to go back to her parents’ house, so she might as well not go back.
When Mr. and Mrs. Zhou heard their youngest daughter’s words, they knew that their daughter had more than 10,000 dollars. Their hearts instantly thumped.
Mother Zhou reminded her, “Yu’er, don’t reveal your wealth. Be careful when you go out!”
Zhou Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Mom, it’s not the same era as before. Now, everyone is dressed well and wearing jewelry. Gold necklaces, gold earrings, and gold bracelets are worth thousands of dollars.”
Nowadays, when girls got married, they had to buy gold jewelry and the price of gold was getting higher and higher. A set of jewelry costs up to 20,000 dollars.
Mother Zhou carefully touched Zhou Xiaoyu’s clothes and said with relief, “Yu’er, you married into a good family. Your in-laws are all doing well. Your father and I are relieved that you’re doing well.”
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and said, “Yes, Mom. My in-laws are all good people. Grandma and Mother-in-law dote on me. Ever since I married into the Shi family, I’ve never suffered any grievances in the past ten years. I think I must have done a lot of good deeds in my previous life to have met such a good family!”
“Yes, yes…” Little Mother Zhou agreed. “When someone introduced you to the Shi family as a wife, I agreed without hesitation. The Shi family has a good reputation in Zhou Village, and their men are all good-looking and have good personalities. Speaking of which, their men don’t have to worry about marrying at all. I didn’t expect Hangyu to like you!”
Zhou Xiaomei pursed her lips and said disapprovingly, “Mom, you make it sound like she’s so lousy. Not only is my sister beautiful, but she’s also diligent. If Brother-in-law didn’t like her back then, he must be blind!”
“Nonsense!” Mother Zhou patted her youngest daughter’s head. “Your brother-in-law was so outstanding at that time. At that time, even the mayor’s daughter took a fancy to Hangyu. The mayor invited someone to be a matchmaker, but they were all rejected.”
“That can only mean that the mayor’s daughter is not good-looking. Otherwise, how could he reject such a good offer?” Zhou Xiaomei said indifferently.
Many men looked at appearances. If a woman was beautiful, one would be instantly attracted. If she was not good-looking, not many men would like her unless her family background was quite impressive and she could move men with her future.
“That’s right, little sister!” Zhou Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “The mayor’s daughter is beautiful and has a good figure. Moreover, she really likes your brother-in-law. I heard that she has liked him since junior high school.”
“Huh?” Zhou Xiaomei asked in confusion, “Then why didn’t brother-in-law take a fancy to the mayor’s daughter?”
The friendship between classmates, from the school uniform to the wedding dress, was such a romantic love.
Zhou Xiaoyu patted her little head again and said in amusement, “If your brother-in-law really liked that mayor’s daughter, what should I do?”
Zhou Xiaomei rubbed her head and said, “I’m just curious. Why are they hitting my head again?”
Mother Zhou slapped her hand again and said with a smile, “That’s because you deserve it.”
Zhou Xiaomei touched her head again and said unhappily, “If you continue to hit me, my head will really become stupid. I still have to study in graduate school.”
Then, she changed the topic and asked, “Sister, why didn’t Brother-in-law like the mayor’s daughter back then?”
Zhou Xiaoyu smiled and said, “There’s no reason. If he didn’t like her, then he didn’t like her. Even if the mayor’s daughter looked like a fairy. Your brother-in-law won’t marry her if he doesn’t feel anything.”
Zhou Xiaomei was speechless. Marrying depended on one’s feelings.
