Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s-Chapter 49 Shopping (1)

Chapter 49 - Shopping (1)

There were a lot of schools around University Avenue, and there were a lot of students on the streets. Many girls with ponytails were holding hands, chatting, and laughing on the streets.

All these girls were only a decade younger than the original owner’s body, but one was already the mother of two and the others were still in school and would be able to get a good job later on. Life was certainly not fair.

“Mom, are these all college students?” asked Ye Jingjing as she looked at the girls. Her eyes were sparkling.

“Yup, if you study hard, you can be a college student in the future too,” said Shu Yan as she stroked Ye Jingjing on her head. Ye Jingjing never had the opportunity to attend college in the original novel; she must really yearn for that opportunity!

“I can go to college?” asked Ye Jingjing. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Back in the village, grandma has always said that girls didn’t need to go to college. They only needed to be hard working. Graduating grade school and being able to read a few words was enough, and her mother had never said anything otherwise. Ye Jingjing had always expected that she would be like just anyone else in the village. She would stay home to help out after grade school, get married when she was the right age, and lived her life like her mother’s. But now, her mother had just told her that she could go to college.

“Of course. As long as you can get into a college, mom will send you to college even if we have to sell all of our pots and pans,” said Shu Yan in all seriousness.

All of a sudden, Ye Jingjing felt that her mother getting a divorce was a wonderful thing. She didn’t need to slave over housework anymore, or be yelled at, and she would be able to go to college.

There were lots of shops on the streets but Shu Yan didn’t see any that sold kids clothes. Perhaps, she hadn’t thought it through. This was a street next to the university town. They sold mainly items geared toward the younger generations. There was a department store nearby, she might be able to find children’s clothing there.

When they walked past a food store, Ye Tianbao stopped walking. It was normal for kids to be gluttonous. Shu Yan wouldn’t mistreat the kids when it came to food. This shop sold authentic City Nan snacks, so Shu Yan asked the kids what they’d like to eat. Ye Jingjing only picked one but Ye Tianbao was a whole different story.

You gave the kid an inch…. He had noticed that Shu Yan had been more lax in recent days and started to revert a little back to his old self. When Shu Yan freed up her time, she’d really need to spend some time on educating him.

She bought two different types for Ye Jingjing and two for Ye Tianbao. It wouldn’t be nice to favor any one of them over the other, regardless of their genders. She wanted to be as fair to the two of them as possible.

Ye Tianbao, who only got two items after asking for four or five, wasn’t very happy. But after one bite of the mochi, his eyes lit up and became happy immediately.

No kids could resist sweets, smiled Shu Yan to herself.

“This is good,” said Ye Jingjing, showing a few of her tiny teeth. She pushed it over close to Shu Yan’s mouth and said, “Have some too, mom.”

Shu Yan’s eyes curved and took a small bite. “Yes. This is good. You have some more.”
