At first glance, the sales clerk could not discern that the twas a family, their demeanors were too disparate. Observing the older woman and the one with the striking aura, he noticed their similar countenances. Seeing them constantly together, he concluded they were indeed related and approached to offer his enthusiastic assistance.

Gu Zi selected several outfits for both Mother Lin and Li Hua to try on, eventually letting them choose a piece they liked to purchase. In the end, both women opted for the least expensive item they had tried on. Mother Lin whispered in Gu Zi’s ear, “Let’s go with this one. The clothes in the city are too expensive, we can’t afford to wear such costly items.”

In their village, they would buy fabric and make several garments from a single piece. Gu Zi merely chuckled at this, not saying much, and instructed the sales clerk to wrap up the two pieces of clothing for her to pay for.

Gu Zi then led Mother Lin and Li Hua to buy shower gel and skincare sets.

Women naturally love beauty, and after Gu Zi explained the purpose of these items, they did not refuse to buy them. Moreover, Gu Zi, being clever and persuasive, even managed to haggle down the prices in the department store. When it ctto pay, she had secured a discounted price.

If it cto being frugal, most women who are accustomed to a life without money would be good at saving. But when it cto spending money wisely, Mother Lin and Li Hua both felt that Gu Zi was the expert in their family.

After leaving Xinghua Department Store, Gu Zi had Su Le take a rickshaw ride while the adults bought ssnacks to enjoy at a nearby table. Li Hua and Mother Lin’s faces broke into adorable smiles, the sunlight casting a soft, rustic glow on their faces.

Gu Zi was very fond of them and treated them as her real family, hence her willingness to pamper them. She believed that a kind and pure heart never goes out of style. The family of her biological parents was such a warm and loving family.

Gu Zi said, “When we pass by the fruit stand later, let’s buy sfruits. You both should eat more fruits, okay? Women should take good care of themselves. I believe that’s what Dad and Brother would want too.”

Now that Lin Cheng had a stable job, their household would only get better.

They should start improving their lifestyle. Li Hua was a bit worried and said, “You’ve already bought so many things and spent quite a bit of money. You still have your husband’s family to consider, so this might not be a good idea.”

Mother Lin also nodded in agreement. Although Su Shen loved Gu Zi dearly, spoiled her, and loved to spend money on her, it was his own money he was spending. Gu Zits position was different. She was already married and spending so much on her maternal family might invite gossip. “Gu Zi, let’s not buy the fruits. We have so many orange trees in our village. Oranges are also fruits, we can just eat those.”

Gu Zi disagreed, “We can’t just eat oranges. Eating too many oranges isn’t good either. We should eat a variety of fruits. As for the gossip, you don’t need to worry about it. Su Shen is a reasonable person. Rest assured, he also believes that money is meant to be spent.”

When one aims high, gossip is inevitable. This was a good tto train oneself not to be affected by others’ words. Gu Zi felt that the Lin family needed to progress and develop together. This was a mental barrier they had to overcome.

Hearing Gu Zi’s words, Mother Lin felt they made sense. Money is something you can’t take with you when you die, so it should be spent when you have it. Su Shen was capable of earning money, and Gu Zi, being his wife, spending his money wasn’t wrong. Why should they care about what others say?

Mother Lin suddenly felt relieved. She couldn’t always stick to her old mindset. She needed to progress with her daughter. Only then would they truly feel like a family. Li Hua’s face also regained its initial relaxed smile. After taking a bite of her snack, she looked up and saw a familiar figure.

“Isn’t that Lin Miao’s classmate… MO Li, isn’t it? Do you see her too?”

Gu Zi and Mother Lin followed her gaze and indeed saw MO Li. She looked a bit pale, but her attire was peculiar, the more they looked, the more it resembled Gu Zi’s style.

MO Li also spotted them, looked surprised, then quickly turned and briskly walked away, disappearing around the corner. Mother Lin was puzzled, “Why is she running away?”

Gu Zi, however, understood clearly, “She’s deliberately avoiding us.”

This MO Li, true to her character in the book, was capable of deceiving the male protagonist, Gong Zhan. Her cunning and scheming were not to be underestimated..
