Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Chapter 168 Jewelry! You can choose not to wear it, but you can't be without it.

The porcelain shop assistant carried the bamboo basket to the carriage. "Madam, please come again next time you need anything!"

"Ruyu, do you see? When doing business, you have to be friendly and know how to talk. When you are hesitant, a few kind words from others can touch your heart. If you think what they said makes sense, you will be willing to take out your wallet and buy things."

In business, you must never underestimate someone. If you misjudge them one day, it will not only cause you trouble but also damage your shop's reputation.

"Okay, cousin."

"Ruyu, don't you think your mother has become more beautiful?"

"Yes, I noticed it a long time ago."

Since my cousin came back, our family's life has improved, and everyone in the family has changed, especially my mother. She looks ten years younger, with rosy and smooth skin, just like a young married woman.

I feel like even my dad isn't good enough for my mom.

Liu Siyue laughed heartily, and Madam Feng blushed. She tapped Ruyu's forehead with her hand and said, "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you tease your mother?"

Seeing Feng's reaction, Liu Siyue laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up. Ruyu also laughed along, attracting onlookers to stop and watch.

"You two girls, calm down! Don't let others laugh at you. You have no manners at all. What kind of behavior is this?" Madam Feng's angry expression made Liu Siyue laugh even harder. It was as if her funny bone had been hit, and she just couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing that she couldn't do anything about it, Madam Feng ignored the two sisters and walked straight ahead.

"Ruyu, quickly help me, my stomach hurts, let's hurry and catch up with Mother."

"Mother, wait for us, we know we were wrong."

Mrs. Feng turned around and glared at the two of them. "Can't we just enjoy our shopping in peace?"

Liu Siyue and Ruyu quickly stepped forward obsequiously, each taking one arm of Feng Shi's arm. "Mother, you are no longer sick, you are really beautiful now. It's hard to imagine how beautiful you were when you were a girl."

Grandma's house is so far from Liujia Village, how did Mom meet Second Uncle, and how did she fall for him? Tell us about it!

"You two brats, do you want a beating today?! Just wait till I get home tonight!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. We'll talk about it when we get home tonight. Let's enjoy shopping now."

Madam Feng didn't want to argue with the two maids anymore and wanted to walk faster, but the two girls kept pulling her arms.

"Mother, look, a jewelry shop! Let's go in and take a look."

"No, no, I haven't worn the ones you bought the first two times. We don't have time to wear them at home, so buying them would be a waste."

"Mom, once you buy it, wear it and show it to your second uncle. Let him know how much of a bargain he got back then to marry such a beautiful wife."

These pieces of jewelry won't go to waste; they're all valuable assets. If your family ever falls on hard times, you can exchange them for money, which is like saving money in a different way.

A woman may not wear jewelry, but she cannot be without it. Jewelry is both a woman's outward appearance and her inner strength.

As Liu Siyue spoke, Feng Shi and Ruyu listened, and even the shop assistant thought what she said made sense. He saved a little every month and bought his wife a piece of jewelry at the end of the year.

"Mom, listen to me, pick whichever you like, your daughter can afford it." Liu Siyue's domineering words amused all the customers picking out jewelry in the shop.

They all looked at Madam Feng and the others, saying, "This lady is so lucky to have such a filial and considerate daughter. She is the envy of everyone. If I had such a sensible daughter, I would wake up laughing in my sleep."

This is a gift from the child, so please pick one.

Mrs. Feng blushed again after being told off, and with no other choice, she picked out a delicate silver bracelet for herself.

"Mom, if you don't want to choose, I'll choose for you. Don't feel bad about spending the money later."

"This is perfect, Mother really likes this bracelet."

"Pick two more headpieces."

"No, really no need."

"Mother, have you forgotten what I just said? Jewelry is a woman's confidence and a reflection of her character."

It was the same guest who had spoken earlier. "Madam, your daughter is absolutely right. She's hit the nail on the head when it comes to us women."

Jewelry is a woman's confidence and a reflection of her image. Look at me, I buy myself a few pieces every year so I can wear them in rotation. If I don't like them anymore, I can sell them and buy new ones.

Look how filial your daughter is, don't let her good intentions go to waste.

I think we're about the same age, do you need my help to choose one?

Mrs. Feng quickly shook her head, "Thank you, but I'll do it myself."

Madam Feng went to look at hairpins. The dazzling array of hairpins overwhelmed her. This was her first time in a jewelry shop, and she didn't dare to pick anything out of the ordinary, for fear of picking up something expensive that she couldn't afford.

Seeing that Madam Feng was hesitant to make a move, Liu Siyue knew what she was worried about.

"Mom, let me help you choose."

She took a delicate, openwork gold hairpin and a simple jade hairpin, and tried them on in Madam Feng's hair.

The guest then said, "Your daughter has excellent taste; these two hairpins make your complexion even more radiant."

"Hey buddy, I'll take both of these hairpins."

"In April, Mom wants to buy Grandma a silver bracelet. What do you think?"

"Mom, if you want to buy it for Grandma, just buy it. You don't need to ask me. It's perfectly reasonable for you to be filial to your own mother."

While you're at it, pick something for each of my older sisters, so we can all have a good time together when we get back.

"I'll buy your grandma a silver bracelet. We've already bought so much today, we can buy the rest next time."

"Alright, next time I'll bring my older sister and the others to the county town to choose for themselves. Ruyu, have you picked something yet?"

"I've made my choice."

"You only bought things for us, you didn't buy a single thing for yourself."

"Mother, without your knowledge, I secretly bought myself several pieces of clothing, which are kept in the house. I'll bring them back to show you when I get back."

Only then was Mrs. Feng relieved, otherwise she would have felt that these pieces of jewelry were too hot to handle.

The four pieces of jewelry cost a total of 120 taels, mainly because the jade hairpin was very expensive, costing 85 taels.

This broke Madam Feng's heart. So much silver could have built a house, enough for her family to eat and drink for a lifetime.

"Mom, don't feel bad about it. We should spend money when we want to, and dress up when we want to. Otherwise, when we get old, we won't have the energy or the mood to dress up."

Our family is doing well now, so everyone in the family should dress up.

After leaving the jewelry shop, she went to the cloth shop. When Afu from Zhiyun Cloth Shop saw Liu Siyue arrive, he quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Madam Liu, you've come! It's been so long since I've seen you. Should I ask the manager to come out?"

"No need, we're just here to buy some fabric."

"Take whatever you need."

Feng picked out two bolts of cloth for her parents, while Liu Siyue picked out cloth for everyone in the family and bought some cotton to make new winter clothes.

"Madam Liu, do you still want that slightly flawed piece of fabric?"

The shopkeeper explained that if you need them, he can sell them to you for one hundred coins each.

"Can I see the fabric first?"

"Of course, come with me to this warehouse."

"Liu Siyue thought the cloth was pretty good; it was already top-notch for a country person."

"Mom, we're buying this fabric for Grandma's family. Next spring, we can make spring clothes for Uncle and the others."

They can also use this cloth to make clothes when they go to work in the fields.

Feng thought it was a good deal, and that what April said made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

"Afu, give me 30 bolts of this fabric. Mother, go and choose the pattern."

After selecting 30 bolts of cloth, Feng and her family went to the shop, settled the bill, and loaded everything onto the carriage.

It was getting late, and she had to hurry back. Liu Siyue really enjoyed the feeling of shopping and spending money, just like in her previous life, where she could buy things and swipe her card as she pleased.
