Even a few shoppers’ daughters inquired if they could try on the same outfit.

“Jiajia, do you like it?” Miao Jing was satisfied too. She had mainly picked out skirts, dresses, and other clothes with floral patterns for Jiajia. Miao Jing had never even considered these single-colored and plain-looking clothes. After all, Jiajia was still young.

It was only when Jiajia tried on the outfit did Miao Jing proudly declare that Jiajia was indeed the Zhai family’s child. Such a style did indeed suit Jiajia better because she was part of the Zhai family.

“I like it!” Jiajia nodded. It was Jiajia’s first time wearing such an outfit too. She had never imagined the result to be that good. Actually, Jiajia had already been extremely pleased when she had seen herself in the mirror in the fitting room. “Mom, Auntie Qiao has such good taste! It feels like we can take some artistic photos without needing to borrow other people’s clothes!”

“Jiajia, you want to take photos? All right, but it’s too late today. I’ll bring you to take some photos tomorrow with your mom.” Hua Hua had already retired from the military long ago and no longer had to return to the camp every day. Since she was already going to get a divorce, there was no need for Hua Hua to have any contact with the Wei family before they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to change her marriage certificate into a divorce certificate. Since she was free, she might as well spend some time with Jiajia and help her adjust to her new surroundings before school started. They had to ensure that Jiajia would not be affected by this incident and lose the ability to concentrate in school.

“Nan Nan, why don’t you try your clothes out?” Because her daughter and granddaughter had already found the outfits that they were most satisfied with, Miao Jing turned her attention to Qiao Nan. “Go on in and try them on. There are some clothes that you’ll only know how they look once you try them on. You’ve picked out such nice pieces for Jiajia and Hua Hua. You should choose something for yourself too!”

“That’s right. This beautiful lady has a good eye. Thankfully, she’s only a customer. Otherwise, I’ll have to worry about losing my job to her! I wouldn’t even need to be here to recommend customers any clothes.” The shopping guide laughed while trying to flatter her. She had no choice. The moment these four women arrived, she had not been able to say a thing before the four of them had gone their way and had started picking out their clothes.

The shopping guide could tell that these four ladies had the financial ability to purchase these clothes. The commission from the mother-and-daughter outfits alone would be more than a hundred yuan. If each of the four of them were to purchase an outfit, perhaps even a few, she would certainly meet her daily sales quota.

Everyone liked such easy-going clients.

“That won’t be necessary. Why don’t we pick something out for Jiajia instead?” Qiao Nan did not know what the shopping guide was thinking, and neither was she prepared to cater to the shopping guide’s wants. “Jiajia, do you have any clothes that you want? You can just tell me. I’ll pick something similar for you.”

“There’s no need for that. These are more than enough.” Zhai Hua refused. Her mom had chosen quite a few pieces of clothes for Jiajia. Given her mom’s character, her mom would not only purchase all of them but would even purchase three to four of each piece of clothing. “Jiajia is still a growing child. She might grow out of these clothes next year. There’s no need to waste any more money.”

“That’s right.” This was Jiajia’s first time buying so many new clothes at once. She had never experienced this in her life. Jiajia knew that she had already tried on quite a few pieces and they would have to pay for them. She was already in a panic because of that. If they picked out any more, Jiajia herself would be too embarrassed to try them on.

The Wei family had to thank Zhai Hua for boosting their family’s business, increasing their income tremendously. Otherwise, Zhai Hua would never have had the funds to purchase two properties and even shoulder the burden of paying for the Wei family’s expenses on Wei De’s behalf.

The family’s expenses were not an insignificant sum. Besides, the Wei family had two children. One was Jiajia, and the other was Wei Wei. Jiajia had to attend all sorts of interest classes, and Wei De spared no effort in cultivating Wei Wei too. The problem was that the money spent on Wei Wei ultimately came from Zhai Hua’s pockets.

The family truly spent a huge sum on developing the two children in the family. Because of this, Zhai Hua had never had spare cash to allow Jiajia to spend as she liked.

In retrospect, Zhai Hua wanted to slap herself. She had been the one to earn the money. Was she incapable? No. Did she have money? Yes. With her capabilities and money, she could have allowed her daughter to buy whatever she liked since she was a child without ever having to worry about how her daughter would no longer be able to wear the same clothes the next year.

She had let her own child suffer and let Jiajia make a habit of being frugal. On the other hand, she had used the money she had saved to raise her husband’s son! Was there another woman more foolish than her?

But today, Zhai Hua felt that she still needed to control her spending a little since she was spending her mom’s money, after all. But she would never act in this manner ever again. As long as Jiajia liked it and would not waste it, she would never stop Jiajia from buying whatever she wanted.

She would make up for whatever Jiajia had lost in the past ten years little by little.

“All right, these will do then. I’ll go get the bill.” Looking at the pile of clothes, Miao Jing was elated. Thankfully, they had driven to the mall. Otherwise, it would probably be a struggle for the four women to carry all those clothes home. “Next time, we should call Zhai Sheng along with us when we go shopping. We should get the men to do things like carrying our shopping bags.”

“You’re asking Zhai Sheng to come shopping with us? Don’t be ridiculous, Mom!” Was Zhai Sheng the kind of person who would be persuaded by their mom? Zhai Hua’s eyes fell on Qiao Nan. But if Qiao Nan was the one to call Zhai Sheng, the results might just be different.

“Wait a minute!” Qiao Nan felt a pang of pain in her liver as she pulled on Miao Jing’s arm. “Auntie Miao, I think we shouldn’t take these.” She had not tried on as many outfits as Jiajia. Jiajia had tried on seven or eight outfits, while she had only tried on three outfits. The problem was that Jiajia had only bought four outfits, while Auntie Miao had simply taken all three outfits that she had tried on into her hands. That could only mean that she intended to purchase all three of them.

That would not do!

“Auntie Miao, out of these three outfits, I only like this one. I’ll pay for it on my own.” Qiao Nan wanted to take that piece of clothing over from the clothing guide to pay for it herself.

“Don’t!” Miao Jing reached out to push Qiao Nan’s hand away. “You did our family a great favor today. These three outfits are nothing. In my heart, all these clothes can never be compared to Hua Hua and Jiajia. We’ll pay for them together. If you keep this up, I’m going to get angry.” Miao Jing’s attitude was firmer than Qiao Nan’s.

If Nan Nan had not been willing to try on only three pieces of clothing, she would have bought Nan Nan four pieces of clothing as well, just like Jiajia.

“Beauty, you have such great fortune. This is your future mother-in-law, right?”
