Chapter 299 Choose the Most Expensive in Everything
The mother and daughter were chatting animatedly, but Shichun Equinox was sitting where he was, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yu Atu noticed her trance and quickly said: "Why would my cousin want to come to me today? I rarely see you and you will feel bored?"
Shi Chunfen came back to his senses and smiled, "Before, I could think about choosing a shop, so it wouldn't be boring, but now that Arun is doing this for me, I feel like I really have nothing to do.
"
"How could it be?" Yu Atu smiled and said, "Fourth Master is just temporarily helping you choose a few suitable ones. You have to decide which one you want in the end. You won't have anything to do."
"Yes." Shi Cui also comforted, "I'm afraid that on the day when you actually decide on a shop, you won't be able to handle it, and then you'll think you're too busy."
"That's right." Shi Chunfen smiled and suddenly said: "It's still early today anyway, why don't we go somewhere else to have dinner in the evening?"
"Oh?" Yu Atu became interested, "Where would you like to eat, cousin?"
"When I was visiting the jade shop that day, I saw a good restaurant opposite." Shi Chunfen said with a smile: "It's rare for us to come to Shuzhou, so we naturally have to try the local specialties. It's not an option to eat in the inn every day.
.”
"Okay!" Yu Atu became excited, "Anyway, it's not far from the inn, so it should be pretty safe."
Seeing that the two of them were in high spirits, Shi Cui couldn't stop them easily, "Just decide, I'll listen to you."
So, chatting with Yu Atu turned into dragging her and Shi Cui out to eat. In fact, Chunquin didn't know what the purpose of her proposal was. She just instinctively felt that clues would not come to her door on her own. If she wanted to get Yu Atu to
The best way to expose her flaws is to create opportunities for her to come into contact with the owner of the jade shop.
If they really wanted to harm her, they couldn't discuss all their plans in just one meeting.
The three of them arrived at the restaurant Shi Chunfen mentioned. This restaurant is located in a busy area, opposite the jade shop they visited last time. The delicacies inside are indeed very local, and the level of the cooks is much higher than that of the inn.
Vernal Equinox chose a seat by the window on the second floor and she happened to be able to see the jade shop when she lowered her head. She wanted to see if Yu Atu would find a chance to meet the boss during a meal.
"Auntie, what do you want to eat?"
Shi Chunfen took the initiative to hand over the menu to Shi Cui.
Naturally, Shi Cui was accustomed to ordering cheap dishes. After a few orders, Yu Atu vetoed it, "Mom, it's a rare trip to Shuzhou. Why do you order some stir-fried dishes? Can you not give them to me and my cousin?
save money?"
"This..." Shi Cui hesitated, "It has to go into the stomach after all. Why does it taste so good?"
"Okay." Shi Chunquin tried to smooth things over, "Can you two just order what you want?"
Only then did Yu Atu become happy and ordered a bunch of delicacies.
Shi Cui was afraid that it would be wasted if she ordered too many dishes and couldn't finish them all. After much hesitation, she gave up on the few stir-fried dishes she chose. She lowered her head and sipped her tea without daring to speak.
Seeing this, Shi Chunfen reached out and patted the back of her hand, comforting her and said: "It's okay, it's a rare trip, we can afford it."
Shi Cui nodded slightly, but still sighed in her heart.
In fact, what makes her sad is not that Yu Atu spends money lavishly, but that she spends money purely for the sake of spending money, choosing the most expensive and best for everything, regardless of whether she likes it or not.
In contrast, Shi Chunfen is obviously more restrained. She also has endless money to spend, but she will never buy everything home, let alone waste money by ordering a bunch of dishes that she doesn't like or eat.
When it comes to delicacies from the sea, which restaurant's chef can cook better than the Chu family's chef?
It's not enough for Yu Atu to eat these at ordinary times. When she goes out to other places, she still orders these to fill the scene, which really worries her as a mother.
The food was served quickly, and the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. However, there were only three women sitting at their table, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Shi Chunfen never liked being stared at by others, so she didn't take off her curtain during the whole process, only slightly opening her mouth, but even so, she still couldn't stop those people's blazing gazes, and she lost her appetite after eating a few mouthfuls.
"Why don't we go back first?" Shi Cui didn't like being looked at while eating, and since this was a foreign country, she was afraid that the thieves would be concerned about her, so she was restless throughout the whole process.
"The food has just been served, what are you doing back?" Yu Atu had a good appetite. She seemed to enjoy being stared at. Even if those eyes were malicious, her vanity was greatly satisfied, "Mom,
Just eat it with peace of mind, otherwise it will be really wasted."
Hearing what she said, Shi Cui had to pick up her chopsticks. It seemed that her daughter would not let them go until she finished the meal.
The three of them ate for a while, and Yu Atu stood up as expected, "Cousin, I want to go to the toilet."
Shi Chunquin nodded slightly, "Pay attention to safety."
Shi Cui put down her chopsticks and asked, "Mom, are you going with me?"
"No need." Yu Atu refused, "I have Cai Die with me."
With that said, she quickly turned around and left with Cai Die without waiting for Shi Cui to say anything else.
Shi Chunfen looked at her back, his eyes sank slightly, and he quickly gestured to Li Yan.
Li Yan received her order and quickly followed Yu and Atu on the pretext of going to check out first.
Seeing that they all left, Shi Cui looked at the table full of dishes and felt depressed, "Your cousin is really wasting money more and more. She obviously can't eat much, but she insists on ordering so much."
Shi Chunfen stared at the jade shop downstairs and comforted with a smile, "Maybe my cousin thinks it's rare to come to Shuzhou, so she wants to try every dish."
"That's not the way to taste it." Shi Cui felt sad thinking about it, "Our family has been through hard times, and I don't know how she became like this. It doesn't matter if Arun pampers her as much as she does.
He is always a bastard and has no real power in his hands. How can he withstand her squandering?"
After hearing the last sentence, Shi Chunfen realized what her aunt was worried about, and couldn't help but smile, "Then don't worry, although Arun is a concubine, the money in his hands is really no less than that of some legitimate sons."
With just 10% of the profits in his hands, she didn't know how much she would have to subsidize him in the future. She thought he would never be short of money to spend in this life.
Rather than letting him spend it himself, she would rather let her good cousin spend it slowly.
"Really?" Shi Cui looked confused, "Don't lie to me, I know there is a big difference between a concubine and a legitimate son."
"Don't worry." Shi Chunfen comforted: "Arun does not have much money, but he has other businesses in his hands and can definitely support his cousin. You don't have to worry."
"That's good." Shi Cui felt relieved now. She was afraid that Yu Atu's extravagant spending would offend her husband, and she would be the one to suffer.
