If Yao Feixue were to have a son in the future, it seemed likely that she would have even less of a place in her own home. Although Zhao Yunxia thought this in her heart, she did not voice it: "This fabric looks thick and warm, and the color is just right for now. I wonder how much this outfit costs? Could you help me get one too?"
Zhao Yunxia genuinely liked the outfit; otherwise, after what Yao Feixue had just said, she would have long since dismissed her.
"Oh, this outfit isn’t cheap. Are you sure you want to buy it, Sister-in-law?" Yao Feixue replied nonchalantly. After all, selling it to anyone was still selling it. She had originally planned to buy the three outfits from Ye Fangfei and then resell them to her cousins. They didn’t lack money, so if she charged them a bit more, she could cover the cost of her own coat.
This was also her reason for wanting those three coats from Ye Fangfei. If it weren’t for making money, she wouldn’t bother bringing clothes for them at all; letting them envy her new clothes without being able to buy them was quite satisfying.
Zhao Yunxia really wanted to buy it, but if it was too expensive, she couldn't afford it. So she asked, "How much is it? It looks nice; it must be several dozen, right?"
"Several dozen? Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? This is high-end merchandise from Haishi; we don’t have anything like that here." Yao Feixue replied honestly. "Let me tell you, this coat costs one hundred fifty yuan and comes with ten fabric coupons. If you want it without the coupons, it's two hundred sixty yuan."
"This is with my connections to the seller; otherwise, you wouldn’t even be able to get one." Yao Feixue scoffed.
"What? Two hundred sixty yuan? What kind of clothing is this? Is it made of gold?" Zhao Yunxia exclaimed in shock. "Oh my goodness, that’s my entire year's salary!"
"It’s so expensive; I can’t afford it," Zhao Yunxia continued in disbelief.
Then she added enviously, "You really are wealthy, Feixue! You just bought two pieces at once—over four hundred yuan altogether?"
Zhao Yunxia said this loudly on purpose so that their mother-in-law, Han Shengnan, could hear. After all, no mother-in-law likes a spendthrift daughter-in-law.
Han Shengnan indeed heard her and felt angry. However, she remained rational and understood that Yao Feixue dared to spend so much on clothes because her family was wealthy—not because of her son Ji Weijun's money. Therefore, if she were to reprimand anyone, it would seem unjustified.
However, she felt that she had to say a few words; otherwise, no matter how lavish the dowry was, there would eventually come a day when it would be spent. They didn't have any children yet, and if Yao Feixue spent all the money now, what would her future grandchildren use?
With this thought in mind, Han Shengnan stepped out of the kitchen and said to Yao Feixue, "Feixue, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you already have plenty of clothes. Why did you buy two more? As long as you have enough to wear, what's the point of spending so much? With your spending habits, no amount of money will be enough."
"I know your family's situation and that your dowry is substantial. But no matter how much money you have, it won't last if you keep spending like this. Once you have children, the expenses will only increase."
"Think about it; isn't that the case?" Han Shengnan spoke earnestly.
Yao Feixue understood what Zhao Yunxia was trying to do when she suddenly raised her voice. However, she didn't care; she was spending her own money, not Ji Weijun's. Even her mother-in-law couldn't say anything about it.
