Adelle smiled, "If you like it, you can have this dress."
"Really?" Wang Ruyi was overjoyed.
"Uh-huh," Adelle nodded.
Wang Ruyi immediately packed the dress into her bag, "Then thank you, little sister!"
It seems that Li Yinyue was right, this Adelle really is too naive, she deserves to be deceived by them!
Having tasted a bit of sweetness, Wang Ruyi immediately picked up a pair of shoes and said, "Little sister, these shoes are also nice, they’re made of real leather, right? They must be very expensive? Actually, my dream is to buy a pair of real leather shoes, but unfortunately, our family is too poor, we can’t afford real leather shoes at all!"
Seeing how distressed Wang Ruyi was, Adelle thought it was just a pair of shoes, and it wouldn’t matter if she gave them to her even if Wang Ruyi wasn’t her sister, especially since she had many pairs of shoes.
"These shoes are yours too," Adelle said.
"Okay, then thank you, little sister," Wang Ruyi immediately took off her cloth shoes and put on Adelle’s new shoes.
Adelle looked at Wang Ruyi’s feet and said, "My shoes seem a bit small for you."
Afraid that Adelle might change her mind, Wang Ruyi hurriedly said, "It’s alright if they are a bit tight! Decades ago in China, people still practiced foot binding. Foot binding is definitely more painful than wearing shoes that are slightly smaller!"
If the shoes are nice, being a little small doesn’t matter at all.
After putting on the shoes, Wang Ruyi took an interest in Adelle’s handbag and jewelry, again following the same pattern, and Adelle felt too embarrassed to refuse, so she gave all those things to her.
This trip was quite a gain for Wang Ruyi, and on the way back, she excitedly said, "Mom, that Adelle is just like a fool! She gives me whatever I ask for! Let’s come back again tomorrow!"
Li Yinyue said, "Tomorrow I’m bringing your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law over, it wouldn’t be fair if you were the only one to benefit."
Hearing this, Wang Ruyi sighed with disappointment, "If I knew this would happen, I would have asked for more today!"
Li Yinyue smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Adelle will be your sister from now on, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Wang Ruyi nodded, "Yeah, that makes sense."
The next day, Li Yinyue indeed brought the eldest and second daughter-in-law to visit Adelle.
The two daughter-in-laws, having heard that their younger sister-in-law Wang Ruyi took home quite a bounty yesterday, did the same today.
"Oh my, fifth little sister, your watch is so beautiful!"
"Fifth little sister, your necklace is really nice! I’ve never worn such a beautiful necklace in my life!"
