ch 166 - Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone 19 (2/2)
The shopkeeper was a bit hesitant; but once he saw the taals that Cheng Xiao Xiao had toying in her hand, he agreed with a smile.
Ushered both Lu Zhu and Zhu Qing into the back of the store, the shopkeeper smiled like a flower.
Of course he was happy where there was business at the store.
Cheng Xiao Xiao enjoyed the tea on the table as she waited for Lu Zhu and Zhu Qing.
When the storekeeper reappeared with the two of them, even Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened. That’s why the saying clothes make the man. Cheng Xiao Xiao was pleasantly surprised when she saw the two all dressed up.
Lu Zhu wasn’t exactly drop dead gorgeous, but she was quite fair, and Zhu Qing as well. The two of them were pleasing to the eyes.
“Not bad, not bad,” looking at the two walking out, Cheng Xiao Xiao continued to nod.
“Miss, what do you think?” laughed the shopkeeper. He laughed so much that his face looked like a chrysanthemum. Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but shuddered from that look.
She couldn’t quite handle his pace.
“Mmmm, I am quite pleased,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao. She then paid and took them for some food before started heading back.
Lu Zhu looked at the new clothes that she had on, her eyes beaming. She didn’t seem to feel the pain anymore and skipped along the way, like she wanted to show off her new clothes to anyone who cared to look.
Ever since she was a kid, she had never wore anything as pretty and bright as this. When she was a child, she had only worn ragged, old clothes that others threw away. Finally she has clothes of her own, belonged only to her.
