Chapter 77: Dog blood
Just when Hua Chengtian thought they were almost done, he underestimated his daughter’s spending ability, as she took them into a cosmetics and jewelry shop once more.
At this point, Hua Chengtian still felt a bit ashamed in his heart.
Over the years, aside from buying a pair of earrings each for his mother and wife, and a silver hairpin for his wife, he really hadn’t given them many presents.
As the man of the house, he had the responsibility to support the family and send the children to school, so he had to live frugally.
Watching his daughter buy things for her mother and his wife with her own money, Hua Chengtian really couldn’t find the words to stop her.
As soon as they entered, they each got a bottle of face cream and lip balm; according to his daughter, no matter the age, all women have a love for beauty. Then, in the jewelry store, they each got a solid two-ounce silver bracelet, and before you knew it, a few taels of silver were spent.
This time, not only did Hua Chengtian not stop her, but to avoid being nagged by his mother and wife when they returned home, he also spent a large sum—more than an ounce of silver—on two silver hairpins.
Having spent so much silver, he was bound to get scolded when they returned home, so he didn’t mind spending this extra ounce.
Perhaps, in light of the silver hairpins, his mother might even nag him a bit less.
They came across a vendor selling roast chickens and bought ten directly; with such generosity, even Hua Chengtian couldn’t help but question if he had been too stingy in the past.
