Chapter 263 - 263: Gu Zi Is Really Lucky
As she emerged from the fitting room, she instantly became the center of attention in the store. Passersby couldn’t help but comment.
“This girl is so beautiful. It’s a pity she’s married. She could have been a big star,” one remarked.
“Look at her husband. He’s quite handsome, and their children are so well-behaved. This family is truly blessed,” another added.
“Her husband seems so stern. How did such a cold man end up with such a beautiful woman?” a third pondered.
Gu Zi, turning to Su Shen, asked, “How about this?”
Su Shen, after a careful look, picked a white beaded shawl from a nearby display and draped it over her shoulders.
Gu Zi playfully glared at him. “Why are you covering my arms?”
“It’s almost autumn, isn’t a shawl just right for the season?” Su Shen replied firmly. “Let’s buy it together.”
Convinced by his reasoning, Gu Zi agreed to purchase both the cheongsam and the shawl.
After choosing outfits for herself and a small qipao for Su Le, who looked adorable in it, they left the tailor shop for a dry goods store. There, they bought an assortment of traditional health products, planning to keep half for themselves and gift the other half to the Lin family.
Next, Gu Zi led Su Shen to an antique shop in the west of the city. The shop was filled with a mix of genuinely old and artificially aged items.
She selected a pair of 14K gold pocket watches from the Republic of China era as gifts for her two boys. These watches were not only exquisite but also functional, a rarity that made their ticking sound particularly delightful.
She remembered that this kind of pocket watch would have a lot of room for appreciation in the future. It would be her first small investment as a mother to the brothers.
Gu Zi did not ask Su Shen to pay this time. She insisted on paying a huge sum of 500 yuan.
After the two of them came out of the antique shop, they saw a condom vending machine at the corner of an intersection. Su Shen stepped out to make the purchase, returning with two boxes of large condoms.
Gu Zi, slightly blushing, discreetly tucked them away under other items.
Su Shen, noticing her shy behavior, found it endearing but chose not to tease her, understanding her modest nature.
The convenience of driving allowed them to make various stops, including the department store for essentials and fresh produce, before heading back to the village.
Arriving home around eleven, villagers noticed their car, sparking comments about Su Shen’s wealth and Gu Zi’s fortune.
As they moved their purchases inside, Aunt Yang approached Gu Zi with a bundle of freshly picked wild onions, a kind gesture from the hillside. Gu Zi gratefully accepted them, not wanting to make Aunt Yang feel awkward with formalities.
“Aunt Yang, wait here, I’ll get something for you,” Gu Zi said, quickly fetching two fresh snow pears for her, insisting she take them before closing the courtyard door.
Gu Zi appreciated these small opportunities to offer kindness in return, like getting something for Aunt Yang, even if it was just a small gesture.
Outside, Aunt Yang gazed at the pears, feeling a twinge of sorrow. She often wondered why her own children couldn’t be as kind to her as Gu Zi, an
outsider, was..
