She just couldn't understand. A diamond necklace with such a beautiful design was only sold for over 1 yuan. Was that expensive?

Which of the necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that Zhao Qingqing often wears is not more expensive than this?

Zheng Hongjie, a rural mother, actually asked him to buy something worth three hundred yuan?

She usually doesn't even look at that kind of cheap stuff.

"Are you teasing me?" Zhao Qingqing asked.

Mother Zheng noticed that she was angry and knew that this woman had a bad temper, so she smiled and explained:

"Qingqing, don't get me wrong... Auntie simply thinks this necklace is very beautiful. You will look elegant when you wear it."

Zheng Huihui continued to agree with her mother, saying, "It looks similar to me, too. They are exactly the same. There is no need to buy the one just now."

Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes and give the mother and daughter a pair of rolled eyes.

"Only an ignorant woman would think these two necklaces are similar!"

Zheng Huihui was young and energetic: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Qingqing: "What do you mean by me?"

Both women have bad tempers.

Zheng Huihui found that her new sister-in-law was not at all accommodating. She was so angry that she was about to argue with Zhao Qingqing, but was stopped by Zheng's mother.

This is the first time we meet, so we can't make things too awkward.

Mother Zheng smiled kindly and generously.

"We are all family, we must pay attention to harmony."

She walked over and took Zhao Qingqing's hand. Zhao Qingqing felt disgusted because Zheng's mother's hands were rough and violated her social distance.

"Qingqing, you are a woman of taste. We who come from the countryside naturally don't understand as much as you do. However, you and Hongjie are getting married soon, so don't be extravagant in this regard. There will be many places to spend money in the future."

Zhao Qingqing took her hand away and said in a neutral tone:

"So, I have to live frugally from now on? For your Zheng family?"

Zhao Qingqing has understood one thing since she was a child: jewelry determines a woman's living standard.

Only a woman who does not cherish herself and puts herself in a humble position would wear such cheap stuff!

Zhao Qingqing has liked all kinds of glittering accessories since she was a child. When she was young, she was not valued by her family and lived in oppression since childhood.

She is very competitive and works hard to climb up the career ladder after getting a job. She attaches great importance to making money.

Later, she used the first money she earned to buy a pair of expensive earrings.

From then on, she opened the door to the world of luxury goods and had an almost crazy obsession with dressing herself up.

"I'd rather not carry anything worth hundreds of dollars! Cheap stuff only lowers my class."

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "What's the point of young people wearing these? I understand that girls love beauty, but as women... it's more important to be well-educated and have inner qualities. There's no need to adorn yourself with these things. Confidence is the greatest beauty."

As Zheng's mother said this, her eyes swept over the jewels on Zhao Qingqing's body and the brand-name bag in her hand.

Zhao Qingqing's whole body was covered with money, which was very eye-catching.

How much did she spend? I guess she could have bought an apartment...

Mother Zheng loves her son so much.

She hoped that Zhao Qingqing could be persuaded by her with just a few words, just like Wen Wen was before.

"Besides, after you and Hongjie get married and have a child, you can't wear jewelry anymore! Instead of spending over 10,000 yuan on a necklace, you might as well save the money to buy milk powder for your child in the future. What your child eats, wears and uses in the future...it costs a lot of money!"

Zheng Huihui continued to be sarcastic to her mother: "Yes, when you marry my brother, you will do housework at home. I don't know if you have time to wear so many jewelry. Why spend such money?"

In the past, this mother and daughter often used these words to pua Wenwen in a sarcastic way.

At the beginning, Wen Wen and Zheng Hongjie had just gotten married. When she was shopping, she saw a pearl bracelet that cost more than 200 yuan.

Wenwen liked it very much. After all, she didn’t ask for anything when she got married, and she wanted her husband to buy it for her as a gift.

Wenwen was made to cry by the constant chatter between Zheng's mother and Zheng Huihui.

In their sarcasm, Wen Wen was criticized as a "spoiled young lady", "not understanding her husband", "not making money but spending money recklessly", "not a good wife"...

Now, they want to treat Zhao Qingqing in the same way, but she doesn't buy it at all.

"So what you're saying is that I shouldn't spend money on jewelry? I don't deserve to wear it? Once I marry Zheng Hongjie, I will immediately become a housewife? I will even be responsible for the baby's milk powder money in the future?"

Mother Zheng: "Oh, don't say such harsh words... Qingqing, you have to live your life in a proper way. You will understand when you have children and become a mother."

Zhao Qingqing sneered.

He immediately turned his head to look at Zheng Hongjie who was standing next to him without saying a word.

On weekdays, Zheng Hongjie spoke sweet words to her, saying that he loved her and would treat her well for the rest of his life.

Now, his mother and sister are bullying him in a sarcastic way, but he doesn't even say a word.

"What? Do you think your mother is right?"

Zheng Hongjie was a little panicked. He was used to his mother educating his wife for him, but at this moment, he found that Zhao Qingqing's face looked very ugly.

"Uh, Qingqing...my mom is an experienced person, she must know more than us, there is no harm in listening to the old people."

Zhao Qingqing said sarcastically, "Really? Then which of these two necklaces do you think I should buy?"

Zheng Hongjie took a look at the diamond necklace worth more than ten thousand yuan, and then looked at the silver necklace worth more than three hundred yuan on the other side.

"Well... you know we men don't have much taste. These two are indeed a bit similar. But if you like them, it's not impossible to buy one worth more than 10,000..."

He left himself plenty of room when he spoke.

Zhao Qingqing snorted: "So you give me the right to choose. As a man, you let a woman bear the blame?"

Zheng Hongjie: "No, I don't mean that. I will listen to you."

Mother Zheng found that her son was too humble in front of Zhao Qingqing, and she said earnestly:

"Qingqing, you have to give men face outside and learn to be a good woman."

Zhao Qingqing was too lazy to pretend to be well behaved in front of this old woman.

"How funny, did I say I was a good woman?"

She glared at Zheng's mother with a sharp look.

"I want to ask you, at your age, your heart is written all over your face. If you don't want to spend money on it, just say so! Don't beat around the bush and disgust me."

Mother Zheng didn't expect that she would contradict her directly in public without any scruples, and was a little stunned.

"I did not mean that……"

Zhao Qingqing: "What do you mean? If I marry your son, I must be prepared to endure hardships, right? Haha, you need a woman like me to save money. Is your son dead? You have to squeeze money out of my teeth to buy milk powder for the child? What do you want him for? He is a waste!"
