294 So Envious!


    “Aiya, Big Sister, your clothes are so beautiful! Where did you buy them?”


    A younger sister-inw 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-inw 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 dors each!”


    “What? So expensive?” Zhou Xiaoyu was surprised. “This dress costs 3,000 dors?”


    “That’s right. This brand of clothes is so expensive!” Zhou Xiaomei nodded and said, “Sister, your sister-inw 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-inw 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 dors a set. And the jewelry is at least 5,000 dors.”


    When Zhou Xiaomei and her sister-inw heard this, they revealed envious expressions.


    Zhou Xiaomei said in surprise, “Sister, I knew that your inw’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-inw? I’ll marry one of them!”


    “Pfft!”


    As soon as Zhou Xiaomei finished speaking, Sister-inw Zhou could not help butugh.


    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-inw, 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-inw, “Sister-inw, look at my sister. She only knows how to bully me!”


    Sister-inw Zhouughed and said, “Haha, Little Sister, what your sister said is not wrong either!”


    Then, Sister-inw Zhou said to Zhou Xiaoyu, “Sister, Brother-inw, let’s go in and talk. It’s cold outside!”


    Logically speaking, Sister-inw Zhou should have returned to her mother’s house.


    However, Sister-inw 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 note 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 dors. 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 nes, gold earrings, and gold bracelets are worth thousands of dors.”


    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 dors.


    Mother Zhou carefully touched Zhou Xiaoyu’s clothes and said with relief, “Yu’er, you married into a good family. Your inws are all doing well. Your father and I are relieved that you’re doing well.”


    Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and said, “Yes, Mom. My inws are all good people. Grandma and Mother-inw 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 Vige, 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-inw didn’t like her back then, he must be blind!”


    “Nonsense!” Mother Zhou patted her youngest daughter’s head. “Your brother-inw 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-inw. I heard that she has liked him since junior high school.”


    “Huh?” Zhou Xiaomei asked in confusion, “Then why didn’t brother-inw take a fancy to the mayor’s daughter?”


    The friendship between ssmates, 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-inw 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 pped 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 be stupid. I still have to study in graduate school.”


    Then, she changed the topic and asked, “Sister, why didn’t Brother-inw 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-inw won’t marry her if he doesn’t feel anything.”


    Zhou Xiaomei was speechless. Marrying depended on one’s feelings.
