Chapter 65: 064: Driven by the Times, Directed by the Overall Situation_i



The man just stood there, the corner of his mouth lifting into a light smile.

Originally, he thought this mother-daughter duo would definitely be at a disadvantage facing the aggressive salesgirl.

To his surprise, a girl who looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old would have such a strong counter-attack. Every word, every sentence, left him dumbfounded and deeply impressed.

Many city-bred girls wouldn’t necessarily have her audacity.

Just then, a stocky middle-aged man with a beer belly approached from behind, stood in front of the man, and respectfully said, “This way please.”

The man slowly withdrew his gaze and took a step forward.

Although he moved casually, his manner radiating an immense presence. Regardless of where he was, he existed like a king.

As Ni Yang waited by the fitting room for Ni Cuihua, she suddenly noticed a gaze, both measuring and authoritative, looking her way.

Ni Yang glanced back, only to see a tall, imposing figure.

With a stature as towering as a jade tree, even his silhouette was enough to command awe and respect.

Being new to Beijing, she didn’t recognize such a high-ranking figure in society. Maybe… she had made a mistake.

Ni Yang casually withdrew her gaze and didn’t give it any further thought.

About five minutes later, Ni Cuihua emerged from the fitting room.

Because it was her first time wearing a skirt, she seemed particularly awkward, constantly tugging at the hemline.

Ni Yang looked at her emerging mother and felt a momentary daze.

Indeed, clothes make the man. With this outfit on, Ni Cuihua seemed like a completely different person – her skin was naturally fair, and she had peach blossom eyes that were very similar to Ni Yang’s. Added to the dietary and medicinal treatments of the past month which had faded the freckles and wrinkles on her face, she looked like she was in her late twenties. Where did she resemble a thirty-six-year-old woman?

Seeing Ni Yang’s stunned expression, Ni Cuihua nervously said, “Yangyang, is it really ugly? I’ll take it off right away!” Turning around, Ni Cuihua was about to head back into the fitting room.

“Wait, Mom.” Ni Yang immediately stopped her mother.

“What’s wrong?” Ni Cuihua looked back, confused.

Ni Yang led Ni Cuihua in front of a mirror, “Take a look yourself.”

When Ni Cuihua saw the reflection in the mirror, she was shocked. She had never imagined she could have a day like this.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Even Ni Cuihua, a married woman, was no exception. At that moment, she found herself overcome by complex emotions.

In all the years of her marriage, this was the first time she wore such a beautiful dress.

It truly looked very stunning.

Even more stunning than the red wedding dress she wore on her wedding day.

“Yangyang, is this really me?” Ni Cuihua asked nervously, grasping Ni Yang’s hand.

“Mom, if it’s not you, who could it be?” Ni Yang responded, “You look really stunning in this dress!”

Ni Cuihua stood in front of the mirror, examining her reflection up and down, then said, “It’s beautiful, yes, but it might not be very practical for getting work done.”

Ni Cuihua was a practical woman, always considering the finer details.

Ni Yang laughed and said, “Do you think we’re still in Dam Village? We don’t have to toil in the fields anymore. What heavy work could there possibly be? We’re buying this dress!”

Ni Cuihua looked around the upscale shop with hesitation, “This place is so fancy, the dress must be expensive, right? You’re working hard to earn money. Let’s just forget about it.”

Ni Yang casually replied, “Money is meant to be spent, otherwise it’s just paper. Plus, it’s not that expensive.”

Learning from previous experiences, the salesgirl managed to hide her facial expressions well, even though she still didn’t believe the mother and daughter could afford such a dress. She simply said, “This dress costs 28 yuan.”

28 yuan might just be enough to buy a pound of beef in future.

But in this era, it could cover two months of rent!

A common worker’s monthly wage is only 28 yuan.

Upon hearing this, Ni Cuihua turned pale with fright, “So expensive? Forget it! Forget it!”

The saleswoman knew this would happen. Contempt gradually appeared in her eyes, and she said impatiently, “This is the latest style from Guangguan, of course it’s a bit pricey with such high-quality material. If you don’t want it, I’ll put it away.”

TWo paupers!

They can’t afford clothes but still strut around here like big shots.

Disgusting.

Ni Yang gave a faint smile, “We’ll take this one, wrap it up.”

The saleswoman didn’t expect Ni Yang would suddenly say such a thing. The contempt in her eyes quickly turned to astonishment.

Wrap it up?

Is she boasting or serious?

Before the saleswoman could react, Ni Yang casually pointed at a few clothes they had just looked at and said, “We’ll also take this one, and this one, wrap them all together.”

“You… You want all of them?” The saleswoman nervously swallowed.

Ni Yang nodded slightly, “Yes.”

“Yangyang, why are you buying so many?” Ni Cuihua quickly tried to stop Ni Yang.

Ni Yang laughed and said, “We can’t have you wearing the same skirt every day, can we?”

Ni Yang had a keen eye for fashion, all the clothes she had just picked out suited Ni Cuihua perfectly.

“But I don’t need so many! Besides, these clothes are too expensive. 1 do have clothes! A single dress costs 28 yuan, so all these clothes must cost nearly a hundred, right? The thought of it alone makes my heart ache,” Ni Cuihua remarked.

Ni Yang continued, “It’s not that much, it’s only four items including this dress.”

The clothes they brought from Dam Village were all old and patched up. They were obviously unsuitable for now, so Ni Yang went ahead and bought Ni Cuihua four new outfits.

Besides that dress, the other three were everyday clothes.

“But…” Ni Cuihua was about to say something else but Ni Yang gently pressed her shoulder and said, “Mother! No more buts, we’re no longer in Dam Village! Our lives are going to get better, and we can definitely afford a few pieces of clothing.”

The saleswoman next to them made a complete attitude flip, asking them very respectfully, “Do you want me to wrap them up for you now?”

Ni Yang glanced at her, “Wrap it.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.” The saleswoman bowed slightly, smiled sweetly, then turned around to wrap the clothes.

Seeing her like this, Ni Cuihua surprisedly said, “Why did this young lady’s attitude change so fast, just like flipping a book? She was so indifferent just now.”

Ni Yang laughed and said, “Just the way of the world, it’s not her fault.”

“Oh,” Ni Cuihua nodded in a half-understanding way.

The four pieces of clothing cost a total of 108 yuan. Ni Yang willingly took out the money to pay, while Ni Cuihua next to her felt heartache.

She never thought there would be a day when she would spend 100 yuan on clothes…

108 yuan, it’s almost the annual income of the Mu Family!

After buying the clothes, Ni Yang took Ni Cuihua to the lingerie counter.

Bras have existed since 1914, but they just hadn’t been brought to the countryside yet. Ni Yang was already seventeen and still wearing the ancient bellyband, while Ni Cuihua hadn’t even seen a bra before!

Therefore, in the countryside at that time, many women’s breasts began to sag prematurely before they were even thirty years old.

Although Ni Yang had been paying attention to dietary skincare recently, Ni Cuihua’s breasts were already showing signs of sagging. However, with the help of a bra and the dietary skincare, she would definitely have a perfect bust shape!

This was the first time Ni Cuihua had seen a bra and she curiously asked, “Yangyang, what is this?”
