Just as she was thinking, Ji Zi'ang suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Yuanyuan's arm, "Yuanyuan, look. That little vest is so beautiful. If you were to wear it, it would definitely suit you very much."
Ji Yuanyuan followed Ji Zi'ang's hand and looked over. She was instantly stunned.
Wasn't that the red little vest that she had just thought of?
It was a red cotton vest with white lace stitched on the edges. The buttons on the front were not ordinary buttons, but small pearls.
As they spoke, Ji Zi'ang rushed into the shop and reached out to touch the vest.
However, before he could touch it, a woman stopped him.
"You can't touch it." She stepped forward and grabbed Ji Zi'ang's hand, her tone cold.
Ji Zi'ang's small face scrunched up, "Why can't I touch it?"
The salesperson sized Ji Zi'ang up and down, her tone contemptuous, "If you don't buy it, you can't touch it. If it gets dirty, will you have the money to pay for it?"
Ji Zi'ang finally understood that the salesperson was looking down on him, thinking that he had no money.
A child's self-esteem was sometimes very strong, and his face quickly turned red, "If I don't look, how will I know if I want to buy it? If your quality isn't good, I won't even look at it."
Hearing this, the salesperson chuckled, "This dress costs a hundred Yuan. Do you have the money to buy it?"
She looked at Ji Zi'ang and then at Li Xu, who was striding toward them. Her expression was even more disdainful.
One look was enough to tell that she was from the countryside. A hundred Yuan was their living expenses for a few months, right?
Ji Zi'ang still wanted to argue, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
They had gone to Ji Jianguo's unit, and it was not easy for them to get five thousand yuan. That money could not be squandered.
A hundred Yuan was enough to buy a lot of sugar.
Ji Zi'ang glared at the woman fiercely and turned to leave.
However, Li Xu had come at this time. She could suffer any grievances she wanted, but she could not bear to see her children suffer.
She took out a hundred Yuan and handed it to the woman, "We have money to buy it."
Her expression was cold.
The woman looked at Li Xu's hands and immediately smiled. These hands were obviously hands that did farm work. She did not know how long she had been saving money, but she actually came here to pretend to be rich.
She casually reached out to take the money from Li Xu's hands, "What size do you want? I'll pretend for you…"
Before she could finish her words, a fair little hand reached out and took the money from Li Xu's hands.
The salesperson frowned and looked at Ji Yuanyuan with an impatient expression. "Are you going to buy it or not? If you don't have the money, don't pretend to be rich. You have the cheek to come here with a poor face…"
Li Xu also looked at her in surprise, "Yuanyuan?"
Ji Yuanyuan raised his little face and looked at the woman, "You are just a salesperson. What right do you have to look down on your customers? You sell the goods at this price and think that you are really worth this price?"
The salesperson did not react at first, and her expression was a little dazed.
She only reacted when Ji Yuanyuan pulled Li Xu away.
This little kid was scolding her.
"Stop right there…"
The salesperson stretched out her hand and was about to grab Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan turned around and gave her a mysterious smile.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then she felt her feet slip, and with a 'plop', she fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ji Zi'ang could not help but burst out laughing.
Li Xu looked at Ji Zi'ang with a serious expression, "Ji Zi'ang, how did I teach you? You can't just laugh at others. What's the difference between that and an animal?"
Ji Zi'ang immediately stopped laughing. "Mom, I know, I was wrong."
Li Xu reached out and patted Ji Zi'ang's head. She glanced at the woman behind her and left.
The woman struggled to stand up, so she naturally understood the meaning behind Li Xu's words. She was mocking her. She was worse than an animal.
"Where did this water come from? Don't you know how to wipe it out?" The woman lowered her head and looked at the water on the ground as she said in exasperation.
Ji Yuanyuan pursed his lips. That water was the water that she had secretly taken out from her space and sprinkled on the ground when that woman had scolded them for being poor.
If she had not chased after them, she would not have stepped on the water and fallen.
In the end, it was still her own problem.
After leaving that shop, Ji Zi'ang's mood had never been high.
Ji Yuanyuan tugged at his sleeve. "Brother, what's wrong?"
Ji Zi'ang looked up and let out a long sigh, like a little adult, "In the future, I must become very rich. I won't let them look down on me again."
Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh. So that was how it was.
"Don't worry, Brother. In the future, you'll become very rich, and you'll also be very handsome and tall."
These words made Ji Zi'ang happy again.
Li Xu listened to the conversation between the two children and felt a little bitter in her heart.
"Today, Mommy is going all out. Each of you will buy a new set of clothes. How about it?" Li Xu took a deep breath and turned to look at the three children.
As the saying goes, respect the clothes first.
Even a salesperson looked at them with that gaze.
However, Ji Yuanyuan shook his head, "Mom, let's take a look around first."
Li Xu had already made up her mind and nodded immediately, "Okay."
Li Xu had specially brought them around the children's clothing store. However, when Ji Yuanyuan passed by the women's clothing store, her gaze was like a radar as she quickly searched for clothes that were suitable for Li Xu.
Li Xu was actually quite good-looking and quite thin. However, she had lived in the countryside for a long time and spent her days either doing farm work or taking care of children. She did not know how to take care of herself at all.
The skin on her face was not very good and was a little yellow. Her hands were also full of cracks and calluses.
If she were to be dressed up, she would also be a great beauty.
Suddenly, Ji Yuanyuan stopped in front of a women's clothing store and did not leave.
Inside the store, there was a light blue dress that was very suitable for Li Xu.
It was a two-piece suit. The top was in the style of a doll's collar. The waist was slim in, and the two pockets on both sides were decorated. The buttons were of the same color, making it look very textured.
The bottom was a straight skirt that reached the middle of the calves.
"Mom, this is pretty." Ji Yuanyuan held Li Xu's hand.
Li Xu looked over in surprise. Seeing that it was a woman's dress, she patiently coaxed, "Be good. That dress is for adults, you can't wear it."
Ji Yuanyuan smiled sweetly, "I'm not buying it, it's for Mommy."
Li Xu thought to herself, "Mommy doesn't want new clothes. As long as Yuanyuan dresses up beautifully, Mommy will be very happy."
The salesperson inside heard the conversation between the mother and daughter at the door clearly.
However, this salesperson was not as snobbish as the salesperson from the children's clothing store. Instead, she felt a trace of sympathy for Li Xu.
They were both mothers, so they naturally understood the heart of a mother.
However, looking at the clothes on Li Xu's body, the salesperson also felt a little heartbroken, "Big Sister, it's rare for a child to be so filial. Please come in and try it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit. If it does, I'll apply for the biggest discount for you."
Ji Yuanyuan gave his two older brothers a look. The three of them worked together and pushed Li Xu into the shop.
