They had walked quite some distance when Luo Qiao turned her head to glance at He Anmei and her husband leaving in a sorry state. She thought to herself, "Bragging comes at a cost—satisfying, isn't it?"
As they were about to reach the residential compound for government employees, Wang Xiaoxin finally said, "My cousin has this annoying habit of showing off. Honestly, they used to be doing pretty well.
But later on, because they had a second child, my cousin's husband lost his job and they were fined for violating the family planning policies. At the time, they borrowed a lot of money from relatives, and to this day, they haven't paid it all back.
It's only in the last few years that things have stabilized a bit. He's been working at a hardware store owned by a friend, so at least they have steady income now. But my cousin hasn't changed her love of showing off, and now she's gone and done something like this. Honestly, there's no helping her."
