Chapter 533: Chapter 535: Snobs Everywhere?

”What are you talking about, what relative... Uncle Chen?”

Lu Qing heard Qin Tian’s words and understood the part about Aunt Flo, but she really hadn’t caught on to the part about Uncle Chen.

Qin Tian chuckled: ”Why don’t you say it a few more times and see?”

”Uncle Chen... Uncle Chen...”

Lu Qing actually repeated it twice to herself, and then, on the third time, she instantly realized what he meant and her face turned even redder.

”Qin Tian, you... you’re so dirty!”

After speaking, Lu Qing grabbed a pillow in front of her and threw it directly at Qin Tian!

”Hahaha, it was you who wanted to measure me, not me initiating anything, so you can’t blame me for this,” Qin Tian laughed heartily.

”And whose fault should it be? Would this have happened if you were dressed properly?”

”Eh... you make it sound like I’m not wearing pants. I’ve got boxers on, okay? If I were without pants, would you dare to touch?”

”I, I... How can you even say such indecent things!”

With her face flushed, Lu Qing reached for another throw pillow by the bedside desk and threw it at Qin Tian. The two of them frolicked around the room just like a couple of newlyweds.

Thump thump thump!

Just as they were laughing and playing in the room, a series of knocks came from outside. Suddenly, they both quieted down, looking at each other.

”Qin Tian, Qing’er, are you awake? I’ve made breakfast, come downstairs and eat,”

came the voice of Wang Shulan at the door.

Hearing this, Lu Qing made a face at Qin Tian and responded, ”Okay, Mom, we’ll be down in a bit, you can start eating.”

After Wang Shulan had prepared breakfast, Qin Tian and Lu Qing washed up and went downstairs to eat. Wang Shulan and Lu Dakuan watched them with smiles on their faces, appearing extremely satisfied with Qin Tian, their prospective son-in-law.

Because Lu Dakuan’s treatment was exceptionally successful, Wang Shulan told Qin Tian and Lu Qing that after discussing the previous night, they planned to stay in Zhonghai City one more day, and then return home tomorrow.

Qin Tian and Lu Qing urged Wang Shulan to stay a few more days, but both Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan refused, saying that their crops needed tending to and that they had to go back early to plant vegetables, otherwise they would miss the right time for planting.

Knowing how seriously rural folks take their farming, Qin Tian and Lu Qing didn’t press the issue when they saw they couldn’t be persuaded.

After breakfast, Qin Tian suggested going shopping, considering Lu Qing’s parents were leaving the next day; it was only fitting to buy them something, having come all this way.

Lu Qing was pleased with Qin Tian’s thoughtfulness.

Driving to the bustling Jinshan District of Zhonghai City, they spent the whole morning shopping. Lu Qing bought two sets of clothes for each of her parents, Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan, each set valued at over a thousand yuan, which made the elders distressed about the money spent.

”Mom, what era are we living in now? Look at this dress on me, it’s over four thousand, and it’s considered cheap,”

Lu Qing said, pointing to the purple dress she was wearing as Wang Shulan kept fretting over wasting money.

It was meant to comfort Wang Shulan, but hearing this, Wang Shulan instead scolded Lu Qing: ”A dress for over four thousand? Is this a robbery?”

Wang Shulan glanced at Lu Qing and said, ”Qing’er, don’t just think about spending Qin Tian’s money. It’s not easy for Qin Tian to make money, you need to learn to be frugal.”

”...”

Lu Qing was left speechless by Wang Shulan’s words. She glanced at Qin Tian beside her, who was all smiles, and said, ”Mom, the money I use to buy clothes is earned by me, alright...”

”It’s earned by you, but still, it’s both of yours eventually. Once you’re settled down, you need to learn to be frugal. Household expenses are not easy to manage, you know?”

”Mom...”

Lu Qing was speechless at Wang Shulan’s lecturing. Meanwhile, Qin Tian couldn’t help but laugh merrily. Lu Qing turned her head, glared at Qin Tian, and then pinched him hard on the waist, causing him to jump in pain.

Qin Tian had visited Lu Qing’s hometown once and knew that the people there were quite mercenary. So, when they passed by a jewelry store, Qin Tian suggested buying some kind of jewelry for Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan. This way, the elders could wear it back home and never lose face.

Lu Qing had the same thought, so despite Lu Dakuan and Wang Shulan repeatedly declining the offer, they still went in.

After browsing through the store, Qin Tian and Lu Qing decided to buy a watch for Lu Dakuan and a bracelet for Wang Shulan.

”One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... This watch is 18,888?”

At a watch store, Wang Shulan’s eyes widened when she saw the price tag of a silver watch.

”Auntie, do you like this one?” Qin Tian approached her and asked.

”It does look similar to the one Dakuan used to wear. It’s pretty, but this price... Dakuan once had a similar watch that only cost 49 yuan. How is this one over ten thousand... Could it be that the price tag is wrong?”

Wang Shulan was astonished; she had never seen a watch that cost more than ten thousand yuan before.

”Excuse me, this watch is a Swiss timepiece, with a dedicated designer. Your 49-yuan watch really can’t compare with this one,” a sales associate came up and said, casting a glance at the surprised Wang Shulan and couldn’t help but smirk.

”Whether it’s designed or not... A similar watch shouldn’t differ that much in price... Over ten thousand, even if it were covered in gold, it still wouldn’t be worth over ten thousand,” Wang Shulan said, still shocked as she glanced again at the watch, clearly tempted.

Lu Dakuan also had his eyes fixed on the same watch for quite some time, and it seemed like he had taken a liking to it as well.

”Miss, can you give us a discount?” Wang Shulan hesitated for a moment then asked, ”Your price is just too outrageous.”

Back in their hometown, bargaining was a fundamental skill.

”I’m sorry, please notice, this is an exclusive store, we don’t offer discounts,” the sales associate pursed her lips and declined directly.

”Then never mind, Qing’er, let’s buy elsewhere. Everything here looks very expensive, it’s practically a rip-off...” Wang Shulan turned to leave.

”Hehe... Does this old lady think she’s at a vegetable market or something? To expect less for a watch that’s 18,888? Does she think we’ll sell it to her for 49? Ridiculous.”

”A person from Zhonghai City like this? Haha, killing me with laughter. Must be from the countryside, right? How did they end up here? If they can’t afford it, they shouldn’t come here and embarrass themselves, let alone bargain... A mouthful of country bumpkin talk, I knew she’s from the countryside the moment she opened her mouth.”

”Exactly, I bet they just come here to take a couple of photos so that they can go back to their villages and show off, giggle... They really don’t get it.”

After the group left, the sales associate whispered to another colleague in the store, filling their conversation with mockery toward Wang Shulan.

Walking behind, Qin Tian overheard the sales associates’ whispering conversation and immediately stopped in his tracks.
