President Wife is Pretty and Cool

Chapter 103: The Embarrassment of The Mall

“Yaxin, thank your Grandma.” Xu Yanshan hurriedly spoke.

“There’s no need to thank me, but what I said is true. Tingyi, Tingyun has been in a deadlock with us recently. You don’t have any income, so at least go find some livelihood and do some work to maintain your life. You aren’t young anymore. I know that you have been to jail and are afraid that no one will want you, but you can still do some part-time jobs. I have been helping you all these years and you aren’t young anymore. With a family, I won’t be able to give you this little money for long. During this period, you should hurry and find something to do. Who knows when Tingyun will kill me. What will you do then?” Zhao Xiumei said in anguish.

“Mom, you are Tingyun’s biological mother, so it wouldn’t be like that no matter how bad it is. Tingyun is a filial son and Tingyi’s work isn’t easy to find, but don’t worry, we will definitely try our best to find a job, we can’t rely on you alone. This time, it’s a loan and we will return it to you with interest in a few days.”

Xu Yanshan thought about it and spoke one beautiful sentence after another. Zhao Xiumei was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

“Mom, Yanshan is right, I will. Let’s bring Mom to the department store to buy some good clothes today. We definitely won’t ask for much money.”

Lan Tingyi smiled.

Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed to hear this. It was rare to have such a thought. Previously, she had only bought for Yaxin and couldn’t bear to buy several pieces herself. She would have to make sure she had a good time today.

“Good, good, good. I won’t reject your kindness.”

Zhao Xiumei got out of bed as she spoke and wore a more formal outfit. The family went to the shopping mall.

….

“Mom, this piece is not bad. It looks like it was made of real fur and will do well in winter.”

Xu Yanshan touched the woolen coat in front of her and smiled.

“Yeah, not bad!”

Zhao Xiumei touched it as well, but when she saw the price, she put it down. This was a luxury store and the coat she saw cost at least 20,000 yuan. In the past, she would have taken it without batting an eyelid, but now, she couldn’t. She had fallen out with Tingyun and didn’t have a lot of money on hand. It wouldn’t be good if she was spending extravagantly.

She turned and looked at the item beside her with a troubled expression.

“This one is good too, it’s suitable for autumn.”

Xu Yanshan glanced at the price deliberately. 6000 yuan, this was much cheaper than the previous one.

“Mom, the color isn’t good, it’s not as good as the white woolen one.”

Lan Tingyi didn’t seem to notice Zhao Xiumei’s thoughts, he just thought that the coat was good.

Xu Yanshan nudged Lan Tingyi, signalling for him to keep quiet. If Old Mrs. Lan wanted to buy something cheap, she would let her. Besides, the more money that was leftover, the better because it was all hers.

“Grandma, this looks good. The design is fresh and beautiful, and the color is very suitable for you. You will look ten years younger in it.”

Lan Yaxin took the initiative to step forward and pick out some clothes. She held a powder blue piece and gestured to Zhao Xiumei’s body. The few of them agreed.

Zhao Xiumei found it pretty as well, mainly because it was 5,000 yuan, which was lower than usual. She could afford it.

“Excuse me, please help me wrap this.”

Zhao Xiumei said happily that her precious granddaughter was sensible and knew her grandmother’s thoughts.

The whole family went to the counter. Zhao Xiumei took out a bank card and handed it to the staff.

“There’s no password for this one!”

Zhao Xiumei picked up the bag and prepared to leave. Suddenly, the salesperson frowned and spoke.

“Sorry, Mrs. Lan, this card is frozen and the money inside can’t be retrieved!”

“What? How is that possible? Try this one again.”

Zhao Xiumei was a little surprised. She took out another bank card and handed it to the staff.

“Try this one, then.”

The salesperson was a girl with glasses. When Zhao Xiumei saw the girl frown, she knew it wasn’t good.

“Still can’t use it?”

The salesperson nodded.

Zhao Xiumei panicked. These cards were given to her by Lan Tingyun, who would transfer money regularly every month. She didn’t expect him to freeze the money!

“That unfilial thing!”

Xu Yanshan lowered her head and glanced at Lan Tingyi. The money in his bank card must have been frozen as well.

“Mom, what do we do now?” Xu Yanshan said anxiously.

“Young lady, I’m not poor. I’ll take these clothes first and will pay you when my son and daughter-in-law withdraw the money.”

Zhao Xiumei wanted to take the clothes but was stopped by the salesperson.

“Sorry, I can’t let you take the clothes away, you’ll have to pay. We’ll hand over the clothes once you’ve paid for it.”

Zhao Xiumei had never suffered such grievances and was furious.

“Am I someone who doesn’t have money? I’m old and when I say I will pay, I will. Didn’t I just say I would give you the money when I got back? I won’t run!”

Zhao Xiumei turned to leave, but was stopped by the young lady.

“No, this is a luxury item, you can’t take it away without paying.”

The little girl was on the verge of tears. It was her first day at work and yet, she had encountered such a crafty old lady. She was really unlucky.

“Lass, did I say I wouldn’t give it to you? Yanshan, do you have any money with you?”

Zhao Xiumei was furious.

“Mom, the card you gave me must have been frozen too. How can we have money?” Xu Yanshan said embarrassedly, this was the first time that they were so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to hide in.

“Mom, if you really can’t take it, call Tingyun and let him come over. You’re his mom after all, he can’t be so heartless, right?” Lan Tingyi said.
