Chapter 95: The Drums of War
That night, after Zhou Shuguang came back after eating and drinking, it stands to reason that the mother and daughter should sleep in the same bed, and the two big beds in this room are just right for the two pairs of mother and daughter, but Zhou Linuo doesn't want to share the same bed with a nightmare from childhood to adulthood, she has already made up her mind to sleep with Yi Xuejia, and ask Zhou Shuguang and Aunt Lin Biguang to sleep together.
As a result, as soon as the door opened, she only saw Yi Xuejia alone, so she asked confusedly, "What about my mother and aunt?" This is going back? β
"You want to be beautiful." Yi Xuejia smiled and closed the door casually.
It turned out that after Zhou Shuguang ate Peking duck, she was clamoring to walk Chang'an Avenue, and then fell in love with a hotel that looked quite gorgeous and spectacular, like a European castle, so she stayed there and wanted to live in.
"Your mother said that it is rare to come to Beijing, and you must live in a five-star hotel, which is called tourism, and live here with us, it is called-" Yi Xuejia crossed his waist with one hand, imitating Zhou Shuguang's tone and said in a tone of voice, "Send people under the fence." β
"What?" As soon as he heard about the appearance of the hotel, Zhou Linuo immediately reflexively covered his heart, "Could it be the 'Legend' of 181 nights?" β
Yi Xuejia closed her eyes painfully, nodded, and Zhou Linuo leaned against the wall.
Liang Feng had no way to take Zhou Shuguang, so she walked straight into the lobby, and after learning the price, Lin Biguang used all her strength to drag Zhou Shuguang out, but in full view, especially in such a magnificent place, she didn't dare to move too much, because once Zhou Shuguang splashed, it would be more than a temporary shame, maybe their group would be photographed by passers-by and then appear on the TV screen.
"So...... Did you move in? Although he had already expected the answer, Zhou Linuo still asked with a hint of luck.
"Scheduled for three nights." Yi Xuejia pointed out, "Liang Feng paid the money." β
Zhou Linuo covered his mouth, with an expression that seemed to vomit blood.
Yi Xuejia walked to the mothers' suitcases, while gushing about the scene at that time, "There is really no way, we should persuade all the persuasion, as soon as she heard the price, she was even more reluctant to go, saying that she had worked hard in her life and had not enjoyed a day of happiness, and now young people are popular for honeymooning, she and Uncle Ren at that time pulled a certificate and set up a table of wine, and she has never traveled since then, she said that she hopes to experience what it is like to travel for a rich person before she dies, and when it comes to this, Liang Feng really can't refuse." β
"I'll return the money to Liang Feng's ......," Zhou Linuo said as he picked up his mobile phone.
"Don't." Yi Xuejia stopped, "How could he ask for it?" Your mother dares to ask him to pay for it, just because she treats him as her husband and is unkind to her son-in-law, and Liang Feng is also willing, so he is almost called 'Mom', he will definitely not accept your money, and you will soon become a family. β
Zhou Linuo answered: "It won't be so fast......"
"That's sooner or later." Yi Xuejia walked to the door with two suitcases and said, "I'll send them over, Liang Feng's car is still waiting downstairs, you rest early, you have to play with them tomorrow, it's another tough battle." β
As Yi Xuejia said, the next day, Zhou Shuguang did not go to the scenic spots, but asked Zhou Linuo to take her to buy clothes, Zhou Linuo, who had been forced to "bleed" 400,000 yuan on the first day, thought about it in his heart, and took her to a shopping mall without luxury brands, only hoping to control the total cost of "Zhou Shuguang's family visit" within 500,000.
In Zhou Linuo's car, Zhou Shuguang has been praising the hotel he stayed at last night, and Lin Biguang answered distressedly: "Can it be bad?" That's enough money for one night to buy you a balcony in our Xiangzhu. β
"What? Whose light are you enjoying the feeling of being Mrs. Kuo? Zhou Shuguang hugged a pair of arms unhappily, and said quite proudly in a strange yin and yang atmosphere, "If you don't know me, you'll probably never know what it's like to serve people in your life." β
Yi Xuejia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to Zhou Shuguang and said, "Auntie, my mother has me to serve." β
"Ouch, you can shut up, don't you see who is your driver now?" Zhou Shuguang said disgustedly, "Your mother and daughter have really cultivated three lifetimes of blessings, and only then did they meet me and Nuo Nuo as friends with you, so that you took advantage of it." β
Yi Xuejia shrank her neck, turned her face and stuck out her tongue at Zhou Linuo, Zhou Linuo just sighed, she didn't want to answer, so as not to lead the war over.
But she couldn't help but answer, Zhou Shuguang had already frowned and opened a new topic.
"Your car is a little small, how much did you buy it? Why not buy a car that's called an SUV? The car is big. Zhou Shuguang touched here and there, chattering non-stop, "Do you know that the one who used to live downstairs from us was named Xiaojian?" He bought an SUV and spent 200,000 yuan, which can hold a lot of things, you see your small car, you can't put anything down, what should you do if you have a child in the future? When a child goes out, the things he wants to bring are called more than one. β
Zhou Linuo finally couldn't bear it anymore and replied coldly: "Mom, first of all, the SUV is a model, not a brand, and secondly, my car is more than 500,000 yuan, and Liang Feng also has a car, so there is no situation where we will not have enough in the future." β
As soon as she said this, Zhou Shuguang's face immediately turned pale, and then he became angry, "Wow, you buy a car for 500,000 without blinking, I asked you for 400,000 to buy a house, look at your face is as if I made you bankrupt, how did I give birth to such a white-eyed wolf as you?" Just enjoy yourself and keep your old mother to eat pickled steamed buns in her hometown! β
- Really get to the point! Yi Xuejia exchanged glances with Lin Biguang through the rearview mirror, and the mother and daughter both closed their mouths for the atmosphere of arrows and crossbows, as they were afraid that the fish in the "pond fish" would not dare to say more than half a word.
"I'm not as rich as you think, this car was bought with a loan." Zhou Linuo turned the steering wheel and said in a quiet tone, "Liang Feng's car has not yet paid off the loan, those of us who live in first-tier cities look like each other, we are all strong outsiders and middle cadres, he paid you to live in 'Legendary', which is simply a swollen face and a fat man." β
Seeing that she was about to blame herself, Zhou Shuguang immediately interrupted her and asked, "Why didn't Liang Feng come with us?" β
Zhou Linuo turned the car into the parking lot and said, "He has to work today." β
In fact, Liang Feng wanted to accompany him, but Zhou Linuo was worried that he was thin-skinned and would continue to be used by Zhou Shuguang as an ATM to withdraw money, so she told him not to come over, she owed him too much, and she was afraid that she would not be able to pay it.
Before walking into the mall, Zhou Shuguang, who paid attention to her appearance, straightened her coat and skirt against the reflective glass, smoothed out every fold on the big shawl, and then walked in with her head held high.
didn't take a few steps, and the ladies boutique clothing stores that greeted him, as well as the women of all ages who were dressed up, immediately made Zhou Shuguang, who was originally confident and calm, timid, and her whole body was in the clothing wholesale market of Xiangzhu, although it was the highest grade in the middle and low grades, but it still had a small town atmosphere that could be seen by the naked eye, and the ladies of the same age who passed by her, with a wisp of elegant fragrance at the right distance, although Zhou Shuguang had never gone abroad, but she vaguely flashed a thought, Maybe that's the smell of Europe.
Although Zhou Shuguang is not a person who is willing to show weakness, Zhou Linuo knows her too well, so he has seen through her bluff from her wandering eyes and her very obviously stiff and straightened back.
What a vain man. Zhou Linuo sighed for Zhou Shuguang in her heart, but she also felt sad for herself, because she completely inherited her mother's arrogance, and like her, she didn't want to be at the bottom of any group.
Perhaps the only difference with Zhou Shuguang is that she doesn't have to be top-notch, but Zhou Shuguang has never left that small Xiangzhu City, she has been used to standing in the spotlight to greet the attention in the half of her life, and suddenly came to Beijing and became the background board of others, of course, this gap makes her uncomfortable.
She then pulled Zhou Shuguang into the nearest women's clothing store and said, "I think this one is very good-looking, can you see if you like it?" β
It is rare for Zhou Linuo to be so active towards herself, Zhou Shuguang couldn't react for a while, and a hint of flattery flashed in her eyes for a while, which also made Zhou Linuo stunned, and her heart was mixed, but fortunately, she immediately regained her arrogant appearance, raised her chin and walked to the rows of hangers.
The waiter in the store is also very "discerning", at first when she saw Zhou Shuguang, she did not mean to come forward to serve, but when she saw Zhou Linuo, who was wearing a famous brand, she immediately realized that this is the most common situation in first-tier cities - "the city girl brought the country mother to shop" - the best moment to do performance! She immediately greeted her with a smile on her face, and sold them skillfully one by one, as if all the clothes in the store, regardless of color or style, were tailor-made for Zhou Shuguang.
Yi Xuejia thought that it was rare for her mother to come to Beijing, and she should also express it, so she pulled Lin Biguang to the hanger at the other end, patted her chest generously and said, "Come, pick whatever you want, you're welcome, Boss Yi is not bad for money." β
"The clothes in this big city are really fancy and good-looking." Lin Biguang was also a little interested, she angrily lifted the neckline of a flower skirt, turned out the tag from it to take a look, retracted her hand as if it was being electrified, and exclaimed softly to her daughter, "2988 yo my God?" Is this made of gold? β
"Oh, I'm going?!" Yi Xuejia was also startled, and after opening the tag to confirm it, he went to look at the material marked on it carefully and muttered, "Then, I don't know what gold silk people really use to embroider it inside." β
When the mother and daughter were talking to each other, Zhou Shuguang here had already tried on three sets of clothes, and even carried the bag in the store, and the high-heeled leather boots in the store were also on her feet, and she liked each set quite much-
"I think it's very cunning in the design of this store, you look at the purple top, don't wear the wide-legged pants in this store, I don't know what to wear, and then this bag, so small, I don't know what to put in, it's not practical, but it's usually when I go to the street to buy a vegetable or something, just put some change, it doesn't seem to be too big a bag."
ββWhen she was scratching her head in front of the mirror, she was hinting at Zhou Linuo in and out of her own words: she wanted all these things she touched.
Zhou Linuo did not hesitate, and said to the clerk: "These are all needed." β
Zhou Shuguang was very unaccustomed to her cheerfulness, she thought she would ask her to pick one or two of these sets, and for a while she regretted not asking for a few more sets, and at the same time was busy instructing the clerk to say: "Hey, you just pick up these two sets, help me cut the tag of my body, yes, I'm wearing it, and this bag, I also take it." β
When she walked out of the store, Zhou Shuguang had a new look, she looked at herself with satisfaction at the reflection of the window, and the tone of her mouth opening was even more annoying, she waved her hand in disgust at the bag of her old clothes, and said to Lin Biguang: "I don't want these, I'll give them to you." β
Lin Biguang was amused by her triumphant appearance, and frowned in disgust: "Oh, I don't want your old clothes yet." β
Zhou Shuguang then said, "Then throw it away." After that, intentionally or unintentionally, he imitated the wife who lived in the villa in the Taiwanese TV series, shaking his ass and striding forward.
Yi Xuejia came to Zhou Linuo's side and whispered: "This has to cost 20,000 yuan, right?" β
"As long as she's happy." Zhou Linuo laughed dryly, "I don't want her to complain anymore." β
Zhou Linuo suddenly thought about it, and was willing to be willful by Zhou Shuguang, when she watched her try on a set of clothes in a women's clothing store, she remembered that when she was a child, in a group of children, she was not necessarily wearing the most expensive but must be the most gorgeous and stylish skirt.
Sometimes Zhou Shuguang in order to get a different princess group, even if he has to wait for three months, he will toss others to bring back Zhou Linuo from abroad, in terms of food and clothing, she has never treated her badly, because she hopes that her daughter will be the protagonist of the stars and the moon no matter the task occasion, she wants to be white and beautiful, and she wants to be dressed in brocade and jade belt.
Zhou Linuo felt that he had grown up, and it was time to give back to her, in the final analysis, no matter how much Zhou Shuguang hated her, it was her mother.
