Chapter 1363: Why Don’t You Go With Me to the Bridal Shop to Collect My Dress?

Beautiful red lanterns hung around the streets and houses as the mid-autumn festival approached.

The local supermarket was selling various kinds of mooncakes, and a lot of families had started buying them to give away when they visited relatives and friends.

Meanwhile, Wen Shan who was being driven crazy by her dissertation was now back in her parents’ home.

It was already ten in the morning when she woke up, and the first thing that she saw when she stepped out from her room was Xiao Yaojing playing games on her phone on the sofa. It looked like only she and Xiao Yaojing were at home.

“Where are Mom and Dad?” asked Wen Shan as she went to the kitchen in her slippers to pour herself a glass of water.

“They went out to get mooncakes, seems like the supermarket downstairs is having a buy two free one promotion,” Xiao Yaojing answered without looking up from her phone.

“Don’t you have to work?” Wen Shan emerged from the kitchen with her glass of water and sat down in front of Xiao Yaojing.

“The advantage of marrying an executive,” said Xiao Yaojing smugly. She put down her phone after the game ended and looked at Wen Shan who was sitting in front of her.

“Who shall I marry then? The head of the Physics Department? Someone who might be older than my dad?” Wen Shan scoffed and joked.

Xiao Yaojing hugged a throw pillow and laughed loudly. Before Xiao Yaojing could say anything, they heard bickering outside the house. It sounded like Mrs. Xiao complaining about Mrs. Wen being a cheapskate and Mrs. Wen complaining about Mrs. Xiao spending too much money.

Wen Shan and Xiao Yaojing exchanged looks. Xiao Yaojing put on her slippers and got down from the sofa, then opened the door.

“I am telling you that it’s embarrassing to do that in a city.”

“I was being embarrassing? At least I didn’t spend all my money like you did!”

“I spent my own money, was it your son’s money that I spent?”

“Mother, Mother.” Xiao Yaojing quickly stood in between the two of them. She gestured for Wen Shan to take Mrs. Wen into the house as she brought her own mother back to their house across the road.

The world fell silent when the doors closed behind them.

“What were you doing, Mother?” asked Xiao Yaojing angrily when she saw the mooncakes that her mother was holding, “why did you buy all this if it was so embarrassing?”

“I said it was embarrassing that she asked if there was a lucky draw. She even asked to put our mooncakes in one bill just for the lucky draw! How embarrassing was that?” Mrs. Xiao yelled at the door.

“What is wrong with you, Mother? Weren’t you happy to go to the supermarket just now?” In the other house, Wen Shan was pulling Mrs. Wen who was trying to storm out of the house into the living room.

“Look at that woman! So what if she was well-educated? Did she forget that she was from a village too just because she lives in the city now? What’s wrong with lucky draws?”

Many supermarkets use a lucky draw as a gimmick whenever they have promotions and events. Some people liked lucky draws for the fun of it, while some thought that they were boring. It was just a matter of opinion and there weren’t any right or wrong answers.

Though Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wen happened to be at the two most extreme ends.

“What’s wrong with paying for your own mooncakes? Forget about the lucky draw since you didn’t spend enough. Why did you make Mrs. Xiao go with you? Please behave for the sake of my brother and sister-in-law,” said Wen Shan while making her mother sit down.

“No. Who do you think was misbehaving?”

Wen Shan sat down resignedly and listened to her mother complain about Mrs. Xiao, while Xiao Yaojing did the same in the other house.

[Mrs. Wen: My mother has brought up your mother again.

Wen Shan: Same.

Wen Shan: Why don’t you go with me to the bridal shop to collect my dress? My mother is driving me crazy.

Mrs. Wen: Let’s go then. My mother is driving me crazy too.]

Knowing that it was not easy to calm their mothers when they were all worked up, they decided to leave the task to PA Wen when he returned from work.
