Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

The bedding in the department store was too expensive. She remembered that there were also shops selling bedding at the train station, so she decided to buy it there instead.

Back at the train station, Zhang Minmin was thrilled; no young girl dislikes clothes.

This was her first time visiting Yuan County, and she noticed that it was indeed much larger and more prosperous than her own county seat.

Although most of the clothing stores at the train station are mid- to low-end, there are also some nice boutique women's clothing stores.

Zhang Minmin couldn't stop shopping. One women's clothing store had already stocked its first batch of autumn clothes. She immediately spotted a burgundy stand-up collar blouse with ruffled cuffs. She tried it on and loved it.

"Third Aunt is so beautiful," Shuo Shuo was the first to compliment.

"You have such a sweet tongue," Zhang Minmin said, blushing as she asked Bai Jingsi, "Does it look good?"

Bai Jingsi pushed up her glasses: "It looks good, I'll buy it."

When I asked about the price, since it was a newly released model, the shop owner didn't overcharge and offered a fixed price of 88 yuan.

Zhang Minmin gasped:

"It's too expensive. I won't buy it."

He was about to go change his clothes when he said that.

Bai Zhenzhu brought over a light khaki trench coat:

"Third sister-in-law, try wearing this coat."

Zhang Minmin's eyes lit up when she saw the trench coat, but if the shirt was so expensive, the trench coat must be even more expensive.

"I'm not going to try it, this store is too expensive," Zhang Minmin whispered to Bai Zhenzhu.

But the proprietress had sharp ears and heard it, then laughed:

"You silly girl, there are cheaper options next door that you don't like. My clothes are indeed expensive, but you get what you pay for."

As she spoke, she took the clothes from Bai Zhenzhu's hands and put them directly on Zhang Minmin:

"Trying it is free. You're good-looking and have a great figure. Put it on and let me see how good my taste is."

It's clear that the proprietress is a straightforward person.

Zhang Minmin put on the trench coat, and everyone's eyes lit up.

Bai Zhenzhu reminded her again, "Third Sister-in-law, tuck your shirt into your pants."

Zhang Minmin was wearing black pants today. Her shirt was tucked in, making her look neat and tidy. Paired with a trench coat, she looked like a lady in a magazine.

The proprietress clapped her hands excitedly:

"Wow, this looks even better than the ones I put together myself."

Zhang Minmin looked at herself in the mirror with surprise; this was so fashionable.

Then he glanced at Bai Jingsi apologetically.

Bai Jingsi smiled and said, "I'll buy it."

The proprietress brought over a calculator:

"Okay, I won't make too much money off you. The shirt is 68, the trench coat is 108, that's 176 in total. Since you've put together a good outfit, I'll round it down to 170."

Zhang Minmin has been working for a year, and her monthly salary is only 255 yuan. She really can't bear to spend 170 yuan on a set of clothes.

"Boss lady, can you lower the price a bit? This is too expensive."

Zhang Minmin touched the trench coat she was wearing. The workmanship and materials were indeed very good. More importantly, this style was the first time she had seen it. It must be the latest style from a big city.

"The price is definitely not low. Summer shirts cost forty or fifty yuan each, and these are long-sleeved ones. Moreover, all the goods here are brought back from Guangzhou. Big stars from Hong Kong wear these. Take this trench coat for example, you can wear it for ten or eight years without any problem."

Seeing that she clearly liked it, the proprietress took a silk scarf from the shelf next to the counter:

"Here's what I'll give you: a silk scarf. You can wear it around your neck or tie it in your hair."

As she spoke, the proprietress folded the silk scarf and tied it around Zhang Minmin's head, making it look like a headband, which was indeed beautiful.

The proprietress then turned to Bai Zhenzhu, who was standing to the side, and said:

"Hey sis, aren't you going to pick one out? You're so pretty, it's a waste if you don't dress up properly!"

The proprietress looked to be only in her early twenties, sporting the currently trendy big waves and wearing makeup.

She wore a white V-neck sleeveless long dress with a red belt around her waist and large red hoop earrings, just like a fashionable woman on TV.

Bai Zhenzhu was still wearing her old white shirt with small orchids, and on her feet were cloth shoes she had made herself.

Zhang Minmin also said:

"Yes, Pearl, you should pick out a few outfits too."

Then he enthusiastically offered advice to Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu had been so focused on buying things for her family that she had completely forgotten to buy one for herself.

The clothes in this store happened to match her aesthetic, so she picked out a few items.

Three short-sleeved shirts, a white shirt with a large collar, two pairs of fashion pants, one black and one white, and a yellow suit jacket.

When she emerged from behind the curtain wearing white trousers, a white collared shirt, and a yellow suit jacket, everyone stared in disbelief.

"Mom, you are so beautiful."

Shuo Shuo was so excited to see his mother like this for the first time that he jumped up and down.

Zhang Minmin was also visibly amazed:

"Pearl, you're prettier than any movie star. I didn't know you could turn up the collar of this shirt."

The proprietress, as if she had discovered a great treasure, grabbed Bai Zhenzhu's hand:

"Little sister, come sell clothes with me, I'll pay you a salary, you're such a great stylist."

She could tell from the outfit Bai Zhenzhu put together for Zhang Minmin that this fair-skinned girl had a very sharp eye, just like the fashion sense described in magazines.

This is a talent.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled, pursing her lips:

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, ma'am. I'm also planning to open a shop, a restaurant."

The proprietress looked regretful, then enthusiastically recommended her autumn clothes:

"Then try a few more items, just try anything, let me see how you style them. If my business is good, I'll come back to your restaurant to support you."

Bai Zhenzhu thought the proprietress was a nice person, and since she was unfamiliar with Yuan County, it would be good to make another friend.

Seeing that there was still time, she put together a few more outfits, each one matching the aesthetic preferences of the proprietress and Zhang Minmin.

In the end, in addition to the items she had chosen before, Bai Zhenzhu also asked for a denim jacket and jeans, a sweater, and two short-sleeved T-shirts.

"Girl, you should hurry up and buy a few more pairs of shoes, and get your hair permed when you have time. You'll look absolutely stunning when you dress up. Oh, by the way, I know a shoe store owner. I'll take you there later and ask him to give you a discount."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Okay."

The proprietress started calculating the bill. Seeing that they bought a lot, she gave Zhang Minmin's set a discount of ten yuan. Adding the pile that Bai Zhenzhu bought, the total was 1186 yuan. She rounded it down to 1180 yuan.

She also gave Bai Zhenzhu several silk scarves, headbands, and hair clips.

"Hey sis, my name is Xia He. I've decided to be your friend. Come visit the shop more often. Don't worry, I won't make money off you."

Bai Zhenzhu silently calculated in her mind that if these clothes were brought back from Yangcheng, which was a long way away, the shopkeeper's profit was not really that high, so she readily paid for them.

"Okay, sis, I'll come visit you later."

Zhang Minmin quickly handed over her 160, but Bai Zhenzhu gestured to the proprietress not to accept it.

"Third Sister-in-law, I'll pay."

"How can I do that? I can't take advantage of you."

Bai Zhenzhu said, "We're all family, so don't be so polite with me."

After paying, the proprietress took Bai Zhenzhu to a shoe store, where she selected three pairs of shoes.

A pair of high-top casual shoes, a pair of leather shoes, and a pair of white sneakers.

The price is also very reasonable.

When they passed by a children's clothing store, Bai Zhenzhu went in and picked out two outfits for Shuo Shuo. This time, before she could even take out her bag, Zhang Minmin rushed to pay for them.
