Madame You was dumbfounded.
Then she shut her mouth.
She couldn't help but wonder how this young woman, who seemed so inexperienced, could just decide to buy something on a whim.
But then she comforted herself, thinking this woman was even more of a spendthrift than she was!
Madame You was not happy to have been upstaged and pouted.
Unexpectedly, Su Miaomiao smiled sweetly at her and said, "No need, thank you for your kindness. I can buy it myself. How can I trouble you and make you spend money?"
Madame You just rolled her eyes and smiled wryly, "Then you buy it yourself. This perfumed balm costing over two hundred taels is not something I can afford."
Her tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Madame Tao signaled with her eyes for her to say less, warning her that she was only embarrassing herself. If Su Miaomiao's identity were revealed later, she would be mortified.
This new dark horse in the business world, the young couple's earning abilities were unmatched.
Why would they lack this small amount of money?
Madame Yang, watching the show, was truly amused. She had already guessed.
At this age.
And with such lavish spending, and being so close to Madame Tao.
And the Cheng family lived right next door to the Tao family.
Other than the renowned Madame Cheng, who else could it be? It must be her!
It was truly interesting.
Su Miaomiao also smiled without saying anything. Anyway, she had only set her sights on this little thing.
She bought it because she liked it.
Unlike Madame You, who bought things she didn't like just to show off.
People like her were called suckers.
Su Miaomiao secretly regretted that her own family wasn't in this kind of business. No, her childhood sweetheart seemed to be planning to do this kind of business?
He said he would be reselling some foreign goods.
Perhaps one day, she could even lure this sucker to her shop.
And who would be making money then? It would be her.
Wonderful!
Su Miaomiao felt like laughing uncontrollably, thinking it was all just for fun.
Madame You, seeing her pay so readily, couldn't help but glance at her purse more often. It was as large as a palm and contained several rolls of silver notes.
Then there were silver ingots, many loose silver coins, and copper coins, all bulging.
It was carried by the maidservant named Xinghua behind her.
This startled Madame You. Had this young woman brought out her entire fortune?
What a country bumpkin's way of being rich.
So crude, yet so wealthy.
It shocked her. Finally, she couldn't help but pull Su Miaomiao and ask, "Do you spend money like this, and your husband doesn't scold you?! Your in-laws too?"
Although Madame You's family was rich, she was not the one in charge; it was her parents-in-law. She was given a fixed monthly allowance to socialize with other ladies and build connections, and she would be lectured and cursed if she spent too much.
Su Miaomiao looked confused and said, "Why would they scold me? I don't have in-laws either."
Although Cheng Hao managed her in all aspects of life, he didn't control her spending. She was the one who was too lazy to manage finances and afraid of spending randomly, so she voluntarily gave him her money.
But every time she wanted to buy something, Cheng Hao would buy it for her without a second word. He even bought things for her proactively. He had a peculiar hobby of pampering her, buying her all sorts of things. For example, the new clothes and jewelry filling her room were all bought by him, so he never bothered her about it.
Besides,
Every time Su Miaomiao gave her money to Cheng Hao to save, it would usually double because her childhood sweetheart was very good at managing finances, making money by making money.
She didn't have much of a concept.
Only occasionally would he tell her how much he had earned recently, and she just let him handle it.
If she hadn't transmigrated.
Su Miaomiao probably wouldn't have worked so hard to do business, earn money, and manage finances.
She earned money in her modern life too, but not as outrageously as Cheng Hao.
She was more laid-back.
How could she be like this now, with businesses flourishing everywhere?! She even marveled at her own capabilities.
But now that she was earning decently.
She gradually became more laid-back.
Madame You, seeing her take it for granted, was instantly demoralized.
Envy, jealousy, hatred!
Where did this young woman come from? How could she be so capable? Her husband didn't dare to question her spending. She must have a way with men. She inexplicably wanted to ask for advice.
But it was too embarrassing.
Madame You held back and finally couldn't help but envy, "Why don't you have in-laws?"
Su Miaomiao took a sip of tea and said, "It's not strange not to have them?!"
They were just gone.
She truly had no in-laws in this life. Her mother-in-law was gone, and her father-in-law had been driven away.
It would probably scare these ancient people to death if she said it.
Su Miaomiao chose to be low-key.
Madame You doubted her life and stopped talking, thinking how could anyone be so lucky? If she didn't have in-laws, she could make her own decisions.
Madame Tao also picked some rouge and powder on her end, not as outrageously priced, but still quite good. She mentioned that a certain rouge color was very pretty and wanted to buy one for Su Miaomiao too, so they could use the same one.
Su Miaomiao said anything was fine.
Madame Tao happily went to pay. Madame You asked her why she didn't buy one for herself?
She felt quite wronged.
Madame Tao had to coax her, saying she would buy, buy, buy, and picked up two more.
Even Madame Yang received a share.
Madame Yang thanked her with a smile and accepted it generously, finding the day truly interesting.
After shopping for a while.
They moved to a restaurant for a meal, and then went sightseeing in the afternoon.
The day was truly fulfilling.
Everyone returned home content.
**
Su Miaomiao brought her day's spoils home, and even Yuanyuan and Xinghua had gifts.
To her surprise, her childhood sweetheart was back very early today and was waiting for her in the main hall.
There was a palpable low pressure around him.
Yuanyuan and Xinghua dared not even breathe, looking at each other nervously.
The master was displeased.
Su Miaomiao also noticed his unhappiness. As soon as she entered, she walked straight towards him. Seeing that he wasn't looking up at her, she went over, moved his book-holding hand away, and then boldly sat on his lap.
She hugged his neck.
She was very righteous and even extended her arms for him to smell, "See if it's fragrant?"
She wasn't afraid of Cheng Hao being angry.
Let him be angry.
After transmigrating and knowing his feelings, she understood that no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't abandon her, so what was there to be afraid of?
Cheng Hao glanced at her and said, "Did I let you sit? You just sat down?"
Su Miaomiao raised an eyebrow and retorted, "If you don't let me sit, who do you want to sit?"
She glared at him as she spoke.
Cheng Hao couldn't do anything about her, especially now that Su Miaomiao knew his true feelings. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "You're late, and you still have an excuse."
While saying this, his hands had already affectionately wrapped around her, clearly no longer angry.
He had rushed to finish his business today, wanting to come back early to accompany her. But she, on the other hand, had gone out to play until it was almost dark and hadn't returned.
It was driving him crazy.
Su Miaomiao smiled sweetly and coaxed him, "It's just a little late today. It wasn't intentional. Who knew you'd be back so early? They invited me to watch the night market, and I didn't even go. Isn't that good enough?"
Cheng Hao said sarcastically, "Yes, very good. You're the most obedient."
Su Miaomiao couldn't stop laughing and asked him to smell it quickly, see if it was fragrant. The good things she found today, she cherished them so much that she had warmed the jade box.
