She chose two garments for each of them, as well as two sets of underwear each, so that they could change and wash regularly. As for Ye Liu, she would just have to bring him shopping after he returned home.
Liu Duo also bought one garment for herself and two sets of underwear. “Miss Fang, can you pack up the ones I’ve picked out? Do give me a discount, please. Haha.”
Qin Fang clicked madly on her abacus and, without forgetting to smile, said, “Of course. How could I defraud you?”
In the end, their garments and underwear, all of which were made of cotton, totalled up to twenty-one taels of silver. Qin Fang put down her abacus and said, “I’ve given you a 20% discount, Liu Duo. The total cost is twenty-one taels of silver.
“What, twenty-one taels? That’s too expensive! We’re not buying,” Ye Mo began to fret.
Ye Yang and Ye Ling also felt it was too expensive, but they did not react as Ye Mo had. They merely furrowed their brows.
Twenty-one taels? They had never thought of spending twenty-one taels on a few articles of clothing before.
Liu Duo, on the other hand, was indifferent about the ordeal. She did not think it was expensive, and she had the money anyway! “What’s wrong with expensive? As long as it’s quality and it’s comfortable, it’s worth it! And you’re not paying anyway, so your opinion doesn’t matter.”
And so, Ye Mo screamed internally. So what if you have money! What a wasteful wife!
Liu Duo took our her money bag and gave the silver note worth fifty taels to Qin Fang, “Miss Fang, I’ll need some change.”
Qin Fang pushed it back, smiling as she said, “Little Duo, you have more shopping to do, right? Then you’ll have more things to buy. Don’t pay with this. I can charge it from your next bonus, what do you think?”
Without any hesitation, Liu Duo kept her silver note and nodded, “Sure, please deduct it from my next paycheck then.”
Qin Fang told Liu Duo that she had made some dolls in the past few days, and she planned to sell them soon. They talked for quite a while.
After that, Liu Duo and her husbands left the tailor’s shop. The new clothes were placed in two bags. Ye Yang and Ye Mo each carried one.
“Ling, if you see anything you like, just tell me. I’ll buy it for you,” Liu Duo said frantically when she saw Ye Ling looking here and there, only asking the price of the goods before leaving the shops.
It wasn’t as though they didn’t have money. Her rule of thumb was to buy whatever they liked, since they finally had income. They didn’t have to worry about finances anymore. In her previous life, she had been the same, buying whatever she liked without asking about the price. She hadn’t needed to worry about being without money.
However, Ye Ling and his brothers were used to being poor. They could not bear to spend generously.
In the end, Liu Duo had to settle things personally. If she found something Ye Ling liked, she would directly buy it and leave the heavy-lifting to Ye Mo.
As they finished their shopping, Ye Yang and Ye Mo were carrying a ton of stuff – all snacks and games that Ye Ling had had his eye on.
“No, Duo Er, don’t buy anymore. I’m just looking, I don’t like it,” Ye Ling quickly stopped her when she saw her paying again.
Hearing that, Liu Duo smiled and said, “But I like this one. This hairpin is perfect for all of you when you want to tie your hair up. The hemp rope that binds your hair gets in the way of your good looks.
What Liu Duo saw this time was the exact same hairpin she had spotted last time. She had not been able to afford it then.
Ye Mo, who had been carrying their purchases the whole time, was already quite angry and had been calling her names in his mind. He didn’t like that she had bought some impractical items, some food, and even childish toys!
And now Liu Duo had said she wanted to buy this hairpin for them. Hearing that, his fury instantly vanished.
Ye Yang maintained the same stoic expression from the very beginning through to that moment. He had become a slave to his wife. As long as his wife was happy, he would go along with anything.
