Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

326-330

Yun Yuanfeng had a morning meeting and left for work early right after breakfast.

As soon as he'd left, her second uncle and second aunt came over.

As soon as Yao Ying came in, she wished Yun Xi a happy birthday in front of Liang Xiuqin and handed her a gift.

"Thank you, second aunt!" Yun Xi took the gift bag from her second aunt. The name of a snow boot brand printed on the bag was a very famous brand.

Yun Xi vaguely remembered hearing that in this era, snow boots were something that were getting popular to wear during the autumn and the winter.

They were good protection against the cold, and, most important, they were extremely expensive.

Many celebrities were wearing them, and they had become a luxury item among the upper class.

Because of their popularity, it was difficult to buy them in China. In the era before she had died, this make of boots had flooded the market.

In this era, a pair of these boots cost more than 3,000 yuan, and they usually needed to be specially ordered because they were never available.

She definitely hadn't expected her second aunt to give her a pair!

When Yun Ziling saw the logo on the gift bag, she was immediately green-eyed with jealousy.

Seeing Yun Xi taking out the boots from their box, boots that she had dreamed of wearing, Yun Ziling clenched her hands and gritted her teeth with envy.

Those were exactly the boots she had been dying to buy for a long time now.

Even if her mother had been willing to spend 3,000 yuan, she would have to wait until next year!

And then it would be warm next year, so who would wear these boots?

But her second aunt had not only bought them, but she'd also given them to that country bumpkin Yun Xi!

No matter how good the boots were, they'll never look good on her.

"Second aunt, I never saw you give me any gifts on my birthday. Aren't you being too biased?"

Yao Ying glanced at Yun Ziling and chuckled lightly, "I like to be biased! The weather is so cold, so Yun Xi should dress up warmly to go to school today."

"Okay, I will. Thank you, second aunt! I had wanted a pair of warm boots."

Yun Xi didn't look at Yun Ziling's expression, as she sat on the sofa to put on her new boots.

"Sister, Muyang Town is much colder than Jingdu. You could withstand the cold when you lived in the countryside. Now you've gotten much more high maintenance ever since you returned to Jingdu."

"No one in the countryside treated me nicely, so why would I act high maintenance in front of them."

Yun Xi raised her head, then stood up, and stomped the comfortable, warm boots on her feet.

"The size is just right, thank you, second aunt!"

"That's good!" Yao Ying smiled with satisfaction. "People rely on clothes like horses rely on saddles. I knew these boots would look good on you."

Yun Ziling snorted with envy. "Sister, you are used to being in the countryside, so how can you adapt to wearing such good shoes?"

Yao Ying glanced at Liang Xiuqin, who had come out of the kitchen. "Why shouldn't she wear them? Yun Xi is the eldest daughter of the Yun family, so she should enjoy good things? Yun Ziling, if you are so envious of her, ask your mother to buy some for you. Why complain about it here?"
