Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 805

Chapter 805: Chapter 679: A Mother Like This

In the department store, Mother Zhang inquired about any blemishes, and truly started guiding her three daughters-in-law around to look at one counter after another, asking about prices but not buying anything.

Occasionally, Mother Zhang asked the shop assistants to take something out for her to look at.

Indeed, just to look...

Zhou Jiao followed behind her mother-in-law, ready to buy, buy, buy.

Thus, an interesting scene unfolded.

With Mother Zhang flanked by two generals, the trio of daughter and daughters-in-law touched the goods, chatted warmly, and occasionally asked for the opinion of the youngest daughter-in-law behind them.

Zhou Jiao responded, while indicating to the shop assistant at the counter they just passed to secretly make a slip for the item her mother-in-law was reluctant to part with.

To avoid misunderstanding, she even deliberately spread open a pile of receipts in her palm.

Luckily, Mother Zhang is well-off now, without a strong desire to shop, or who knows how much Zhou Jiao would spend today.

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law circled the mall for a tour and then concluded their shopping trip.

Lin Juhua sighed, "Big cities are great, even the service is better than ours. If it were back home, no buying and still allowing us to touch? They would’ve cursed us ages ago."

Zhou Jiao resisted the urge to laugh. Halfway through shopping, several shop assistants had seen through them; who would dare speak ill?

"What nonsense, our service is also good at home. Every time I go there, those lady comrades always smile at me. They never said anything unpleasant."

"Mom, only you have that face. Last time I went, that braided girl who looked all dark didn’t pay me any attention. I was so angry I nearly scolded her." Huang Cuilan disagreed, shaking her head.

"Maybe the girl was caught up with something and didn’t hear. Alright, let’s head back."

Zhou Jiao stood by with a smile, listening to their conversation, without expressing herself.

Upon hearing it was time to go back, she quickly said, "Mom, you should go next door to the grocery store, I remembered I still need to buy something."

"Then we’ll wait for you next door, take your time, no rush."

Zhou Jiao nodded happily, waiting for them to leave before she went to each counter to express her gratitude and pick up the slips to go settle the payment.

Items that Mother Zhang favored are practical and cost-effective. If they were truly expensive, she wouldn’t bother the shop assistants.

Consequently, Zhou Jiao didn’t spend much money. Of course, that’s from her perspective, with a full fifty or more, plus bills and industrial coupons. For shop assistants earning twenty or thirty a month, it’s quite an extravagance.

"Was that woman your mother? You’re truly a filial daughter. Looking at your two sisters-in-law, they wouldn’t dare, it’s the close-knit daughter that’s attentive, no matter how good the daughter-in-law is."

Zhou Jiao smiled at the shop assistant without explaining that was her mother-in-law. Buying for her mother-in-law, she was willing. Whether daughter or daughter-in-law, it doesn’t matter!

If it weren’t for Friendship Mall’s strict management now, Zhou Jiao would have pulled Mother Zhang to take a stroll inside, buying some good stuff for her.
