"Feifei, I want this coat too. How much is it?" Yao Feixue couldn't bear to take off the new coat she was wearing.
"This coat is quite expensive. If others ask, it’s at least..."
"But given our relationship, I definitely can't charge you full price. This coat was bought for one hundred eighty yuan from Haicheng. If you want it, just give me one hundred eighty yuan."
"By the way, there’s no need for a fabric ticket," Ye Fangfei added.
Even though Yao Feixue's family was wealthy and she had just spent fifty yuan on a new outfit, the thought of spending another one hundred eighty yuan made her wince. Yet, she couldn't bear to part with the coat.
After thinking for a moment, she came up with an idea. "Feifei, you get these coats for a good price, right?"
Ye Fangfei nodded. "Yes, the lowest."
"Can you sell me this one for one hundred eighty?" Yao Feixue confirmed again.
"Yes," Ye Fangfei replied.
"How about this? There are five coats in total here."
"Wait, I need to keep one for myself. That leaves only four." Before Yao Feixue could finish her sentence, Ye Fangfei interrupted.
"Alright, four it is. So, besides the one I'm keeping for myself, I’ll give you one hundred eighty for that one."
"For the remaining three coats, can I give you a hundred each? You can consider it a sale to me," Yao Feixue suggested.
"I'm afraid that won't work. Giving you one is because of our good relationship."
"The other three were meant for an old customer of Zhicheng," Ye Fangfei said with a feigned reluctance.
"I know these coats will sell easily. Feifei, to be honest, I have several cousins. If they find out I bought clothes from Haicheng, they'll definitely come after me wanting them too."
"They're all better off than I am and tend to look down on me a bit. I just want them to ask me for something for once. So please, Feifei, let me have the coats," Yao Feixue pleaded while pulling on Ye Fangfei's arm playfully.
"Alright then, when Zhicheng comes back, I'll talk to him about it. But just so you know, I can't guarantee anything," Ye Fangfei said hesitantly.
"Thank you, Feifei! You really have to talk to Zhicheng well about this. I'm counting on you!"
"Well then, I’ll be going now. I'll give you the money for the coat tomorrow." Yao Feixue jumped with joy and took the coat home.
When Yao Feixue returned home, her mother-in-law Han Shengnan and sister-in-law Zhao Yunxia noticed her carrying a new coat and their expressions immediately changed.
"Hey, Feixue, did you buy new clothes again? Those must not be cheap, right? Did you get two pieces?" Zhao Yunxia said enviously.
"Yes, my husband brought them back from Haishi. It's a rare opportunity, so I took two," Yao Feixue explained calmly.
"Really from Haishi?" Zhao Yunxia put down the vegetables in her hands and stepped closer to examine the clothes Yao Feixue was holding.
"Hey, just look but don’t touch! These clothes are precious. What if you get them dirty?" Yao Feixue took a step back.
Zhao Yunxia felt a surge of anger at Yao Feixue's words; she knew that Yao Feixue looked down on her. Ever since Yao Feixue married into the family, she had been quietly comparing herself to her.
But there was really nothing she could compare favorably with Yao Feixue.
In terms of family background, Yao Feixue's father was the manager of a large trading company, while her own father was just an ordinary worker.
In terms of work, Yao Feixue was one of the elite professionals, while she was merely an elementary school teacher.
Moreover, Yao Feixue had a substantial dowry; unlike her own family, which not only didn’t provide a dowry but also withheld most of the bride price.
And this was before Yao Feixue had children; she could still rely on her daughter Niuniu to have some status as the eldest daughter-in-law in the family.
