Chapter 310 This Could Lead to Puerperal Disease
Even though Lin Man has never been in love, she still noticed something from the way Si Xiaohui’s eyes darted around. She considered advising Si Xiaohui not to live married life at the moment, but also didn’t feel it was her place to interfere, so she refrained from saying anything.
She wanted to treat Si Xiaohui kindly in public, where everyone could see, positioning Si Xiaohui to be in a happy place.
Song Yu saw Si Xiaohui come out with a small bag and pulled her aside, whispering, "Xiaohui, what are you buying these for? Can normal women wear those clothes? Don’t let Lin Man lead you astray."
Blushing, Si Xiaohui said, "Who’s leading me astray? These are the kind of underwear city women wear. They just haven’t caught on in the country yet. You’ll understand tonight."
Even the slow-witted Song Yu got Si Xiaohui’s hint. After Si Xiaohui’s miscarriage, they had not done anything intimate. The thought of Si Xiaohui wearing these clothes stirred some restlessness in him, making him lose interest in shopping.
The three of them took another stroll down the main clothes street. Lin Man helped Si Xiaohui pick out a beautiful dress. The shop owner asked for fifty yuan. Though this seemed like a fair price to Lin Man, to Si Xiaohui, it was agonizingly expensive.
In the country, that kind of money could buy you three sets of clothes.
After shopping all day and being treated to a meal by Lin Man, Si Xiaohui was over the moon. "Such a good sister," she gushed, showing more affection than she does to her own mother.
What a shame that her older brother married Zhang Lijuan. Otherwise, Lin Man would have been a great match. If she had two sisters-in-law from Kyoto, the village people would be so envious. It would also make life easier for her and Song Yu in Kyoto.
A pity her brother lacked foresight and insisted on marrying Zhang Lijuan.
