Chapter 38 - Shopping Spree

After Chen Baiyi finished reading the "little business," He Xiao got someone to take the things down.

"These properties will belong to both of us in the future."

Chen Baiyi turned to He Xiao in surprise.

He Xiao smiled nonchalantly. "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

Then, he "pulled" Chen Baiyi away.

Wasn't that the way to the market?

Chen Baiyi went this way every day when he was doing business and was very familiar with it.

He Xiao led Chen Baiyi around and finally stopped in front of a gold shop.

"Why did you bring me to the gold shop?"

"A gift."

Chen Baiyi thought, "A gift? What gift?"

He Xiao did not explain further and entered the gold shop with Chen Baiyi.

"Pick whatever you like."

"I don't need it. This is too expensive."

"Three gold pieces as a marriage gift."

"… But…"

"This is my shop," He Xiao said with the air of a rich boss. "It's just a formality. From now on, these are all yours."

This time, Chen Baiyi couldn't say a word. In order to show that he valued the girl's family, a man would usually give the bride three gold pieces besides betrothal gifts. No wonder he said it was a gift.

That was true. The two of them had even gotten their marriage certificate. The only thing missing from their marriage was the process.

Chen Baiyi hesitated for a moment before choosing a set, in case the villagers gossiped. It was better to go through the procedure.

After picking out the three gold pieces, He Xiao dragged Chen Baiyi to the supermarket.

"As I recall, there was nothing at your house."

Chen Baiyi had a bad feeling about this.

As it turned out, women's senses were very accurate.

For the rest of the day, He Xiao took her around all the electronic stores.

No fridge? Buy it!

No air conditioning? Buy!

No TV? Buy it!

No washing machine? Buy it!

He Xiao did not care about Chen Baiyi's wishes at all. As long as there was nothing, regardless of whether Chen Baiyi could use it or not, he would buy it!

This was the first time Chen Baiyi had bought anything like this. He couldn't help but sigh. Was this the life of the rich?

In the end, He Xiao was persuaded by Chen Baiyi to leave. Her house was not big, and she did not know if she could put down so many things.

As the two of them walked away, they were followed by a couple of vans carrying their stuff.

All the way from the market to Chen Baiyi's house, the villagers saw this scene.

Those who were well-informed already knew that Chen Baiyi and He Xiao had already registered their marriage and even told them about their trip to the gold shop and the market.

Word spread like wildfire. Soon, everyone knew that these were the things He Xiao had bought for Chen Baiyi.

Many people were watching the commotion near Chen Baiyi's house. They were envious and jealous when they saw the high-end appliances being moved from the cars to Chen Baiyi's house.

"Auntie Wang, look at that television. It's moru glass, right? I heard from my relatives who work at home appliances that this one costs more than 3,000 yuan!"

"Over 3,000 yuan? Why is it so expensive? It can only be used to watch television anyway!"

"Yeah, and that air conditioner. It's Haier's. Do you know how much one of these costs?"

Auntie Wang widened her eyes and shook her head. This television cost more than 3,000 yuan, so this air conditioner definitely wouldn't be cheap.

"It's also over three thousand!"

"More than three thousand, too?"

The person nodded emphatically. 'That's right. The ones that have been moved down are all big brands. From the looks of it, the style should be the latest. It might even be more than the price I estimated!'

The people next to them had heard their conversation and were envious. More than three thousand. What did that mean?

No matter how impressive a person in their village was, they would only earn slightly more than 500 yuan a month. They had to spend six months without eating or drinking to buy any of these things!
