Considering that most of the household’s money was earned by Song Jingyun through his own abilities, if he wished to spend it, then so be it.
Moreover, it was still spending money on her.
Jiang Mixia no longer objected and simply nodded, “Alright, let’s buy it.”
“Thank you, my dear,” Song Jingyun’s smile was radiant, his chin tilting slightly.
Truly, his wife was the one who cherished him the most; she agreed with whatever he said.
Seeing how easily satisfied Song Jingyun was with such minor things, Su Yujin couldn’t help but smile.
The other customers nearby, witnessing this exchange of smiles between the young couple, with looks full of affection, were filled with both contentment and envy.
By purchasing such a valuable eyebrow pencil for his wife, it was evident how deeply the husband cared for his wife. And the fact that he thanked his wife after receiving her permission to make the purchase?
What an extraordinary husband!
Absolutely enviable!
However, some onlookers couldn’t help but sneer at the scene, “The price of this eyebrow pencil is so high, yet someone who should only use a few taels of silver for cosmetics can’t resist a few soft words from the attendant and rushes to buy it. It’s truly a lack of self-control.”
“Exactly,” someone chimed in, “Trying to appear wealthier than you are, it’s truly despicable. Do they think that by using this expensive eyebrow pencil, people in the capital will look at them in a better light?”
“I can see that this person lacks discernment. And the young lady beside him is utterly useless, unable to control her man’s extravagance, following along in his foolishness. If they can’t manage their household properly, even if they have riches, they’ll end up squandering it all.”
“That’s why they say, ‘A family that isn’t united will face difficulties ahead.’ Just wait and see, the days ahead for these two individuals will surely be tough…”
The two women speaking were both around twenty years old, their appearance and tone of speech resembling each other, almost like a pair of sisters. They were now harmonizing in their disdain and disapproval towards Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia.
Jiang Mixia furrowed her brows upon hearing their remarks.
It seemed that meddlesome gossips and judgmental people could be found anywhere, even in the capital.
However, Song Jingyun took hold of Jiang Mixia’s sleeve, “My dear, don’t mind them. Once we’re done shopping, let’s go to the nearby food stall for a meal.”
Upon arriving, Song Jingyun had already set his sights on a small shop selling fried cakes nearby, the enticing aroma wafting through the air promised a delicious treat.
Jiang Mixia, unbothered by the two gossiping women, accompanied Song Jingyun to the counter to pay for their purchases. Just as they finished the transaction, a whiff of water lily fragrance floated into the store, almost instantly reaching Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun.
A charming young girl in a hurry exclaimed, “Quick, please wrap up one of your conch shell design eyebrow pencils for me. I need it urgently.”
Conch shell design eyebrow pencil?
The shopkeeper, in the midst of tallying the goods at the counter and assisting Jiang Mixia with packaging the eyebrow pencil, momentarily froze at the request. He then plastered a smile on his face and bowed respectfully to the young girl, “Miss Tang, I am truly sorry, but we have sold out of the conch shell design eyebrow pencils for today.”
“Sold out?” Tang Yuehua’s face betrayed disbelief, her expression turning as cold as frost-bitten eggplant. “How could they be sold out?”
She had promised her cousin to buy a conch shell design eyebrow pencil as a birthday gift.
Amidst her busy schedule attending to the pregnant Crown Princess, her cousin’s sister-in-law, she had forgotten about this matter. Upon remembering, she hurried to make the purchase, only to find out they were already sold out.
