Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1493: Meeting on a Narrow Path 2

She had no intention of spending the kids’ money, so she continued to take out her own money to shop, with the two nephews acting as her assistants, responsible for carrying the items.

Seeing the way they were shopping, many salesclerks behind the counters stared in astonishment.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen people splurge in the Friendship Store before, but it was rare to see someone like them whose purchases mostly consisted of essential household goods—the least expensive items in the Friendship Store. Instead, most people went for luxurious and scarce items that could only be found in places like the Friendship Store or the Overseas Chinese Store, such as home appliances or hair gel.

Feng Qingxue didn’t care about what others thought. She bought things out of necessity—simple as that.

Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu couldn’t read into what others were thinking. They followed their aunt’s lead in everything. Lu Tianzhi voiced an opinion, "Auntie, I saw some beautiful fabric at the textile counter earlier. Let’s buy a piece to make some clothes for Fubao. It’s almost New Year, and if we make Fubao a couple of new outfits, she’ll surely be very happy."

Who in the family didn’t know about Fubao’s love of dressing up?

With such a sweet, obedient, and lovely little sister in the family, it was only natural for a big brother to dote on her.

Feng Qingxue thought about her daughter’s sadness because she had dresses but couldn’t wear them. She nodded, "Sure, let’s go have a look."

Having already purchased the necessary fabric, Feng Qingxue hadn’t paid attention to the newly displayed material at the counter when they’d passed it earlier. But Lu Tianzhi, being observant, noticed and reminded her.

It was wool fabric, imported from Australia, dyed in a vivid shade of red—pure red.

"Auntie, Auntie, this one’s beautiful! Let’s buy extra. Auntie, you can make a wool coat for yourself and one for Fubao too." Lu Tianzhi remembered the wool coat his aunt had worn when she got married. Although it wasn’t damaged, it had become quite old.

Uncle was really too careless—he didn’t even buy new clothes for Auntie. Secretly, Lu Tianzhi was displeased with Lu Jiang.

This particular fabric was truly rare and hard to come by. Feng Qingxue had rarely seen such a vibrant red and such high-quality material. She decided on the spot to take it all, spending over two hundred yuan, almost three hundred.

"It looks even more stunning up close!" Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu’s eyes were filled with awe.

Feng Qingxue smiled in agreement. Not to mention the kids—even she liked it very much. "With this fabric purchased, I’ve spent almost all the money I brought with me today. Let’s head back for now and come again next time when we have time."

She was just about to carry the fabric home in her arms when suddenly a hand reached out from the side. "Mom, I want this piece of fabric!"

The voice was delicate and crisp but carried an air of arrogance and entitlement.

Feng Qingxue liked the fabric. If she did, her daughter would undoubtedly like it too. How could she let an outsider touch it? She quickly dodged and looked toward the girl—or perhaps young lady—who had spoken. She was dressed extremely fashionably. Despite the chilly weather, she wasn’t wearing a padded jacket but a red and blue checked wool coat and black wool trousers. The neckline of her outfit revealed a woolen sweater underneath, and she wore black leather shoes on her feet. She looked about eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing this face, Feng Qingxue immediately thought of Wa Zhanling. The girl’s facial shape and features were practically identical.

Looking up, just as expected, the girl’s "Mom" was indeed Wa Zhanling. Beside her stood an elderly woman who looked like an aged version of Wa Zhanling. There was no need to guess—this had to be Du Juan.

As expected, after Feng Qingxue dodged, the young girl coquettishly turned to the elderly woman, saying, "Grandma, tell her to give me the red wool fabric!"

"Alright, alright. My precious granddaughter deserves the best," Du Juan said with a smile before immediately turning to Feng Qingxue. "Comrade, you see, my granddaughter really likes this fabric. Why don’t you sell it to us? We won’t let you suffer a loss in terms of price."
