Chapter 298 - 300: Mighty Expansion_1
Old Mr. Xue: "..." Is this not showing off? Three thousand yuan is not a small amount! "If only Sufen were half like you. She has a stipend and scholarships, yet she’s never brought a penny home all year."
Li Qiao didn’t make any comments; Xue Sufen’s lifestyle was quite lavish.
The food at the school cafeteria was delicious, but Xue Sufen would often say it was awful and frequently went out to order dishes instead.
The plates of food in the north were large, and she wouldn’t finish her meal nor take it to go. Several classmates had seen this, and those who couldn’t stand it criticized her for being wasteful, only to be scolded by her in return.
Food was one aspect, but her spending was even more extravagant.
One dress could cost as much as ten days’ worth of her stipend, and she often changed her watches; no amount of money could withstand such expenses.
Old Mrs. Qin used to speak up for Sufen when Old Mr. Xue criticized her, but ever since Sufen had a conflict with Li Qiao, made unreasonable arguments, blamed her granddaughter-in-law, and demanded her punishment, she didn’t want to mention her anymore. "It’s also because you spoil her too much. Qiaoqiao is frugal. She saves her stipend each time she gets it. When she earns from translations or receives payment for papers, she saves it right away." That boy Jin is just the opposite, always buying things, like a woman.
Laying aside others, when it comes to buying clothes for the granddaughter-in-law, sometimes she really couldn’t stand to watch.
How much can one person wear?
Why buy so many?
Moreover, many were just fashionable without quality. If it weren’t for Qiaoqiao’s fair skin, beauty, and good temperament, those clothes would make her look like a country bumpkin.
