Chapter 1303 What if I don't agree?

Chu Xue had no idea that the orders from the Canton Fair would have follow-up.

She was whispering to Duan Ruirui at the dinner table: "Have you received any letters from Kunlan lately? Is she about to give birth?"

"I haven't received it for a while. I just sent her a letter a few days ago to tell her that I'm getting married."

At this moment, Jiang Limin, the eldest sister-in-law, looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, if we count the days, my third sister-in-law will probably be giving birth soon. Shouldn't we send some baby supplies over?"

Zhang Haitang hadn't expected her eldest daughter-in-law to think of these things: "It's time to prepare some things and send them over. See if you can find someone to get some cotton, and then make some swaddle blankets and thick clothes for the children to send over. It's just too cold in the Northeast."

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Old Master Xiao said, "Tomorrow we will return to our clan's territory, and we will return to Beijing after Wan Peng's wedding."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changjiang said, "Dad, it won't be long. Why don't you wait until Wan Peng gets married before going back?"

Grandpa Xiao waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's not too far away. It'll be quieter to live there."

Miao Yiqiu knew him best and naturally understood why he insisted on going back: "Don't try to persuade him anymore, just do as he wants."

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Changjiang realized something and didn't say anything more.

Chu Xue looked up at the expressions of the others and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Fate is really playing tricks on people. Grandpa is quite the romantic, isn't he? Most importantly, Auntie isn't jealous at all and even helps Grandpa.

What they didn't know was that the old man would stroll to his deceased wife's grave every day in the clan's territory, sit for a while, and murmur to the tombstone.

After the meal, everyone helped tidy up before preparing to leave.

Chunxiao, who hadn't caused any trouble all night, approached Chuxue: "Second sister, could you ask your brother-in-law to help me find a few sets of old military uniforms?"

Chu Xue looked at her indifferently: "What do you need this for?"

Chunxiao coughed lightly: "There's a performance at school."

Chu Xue didn't refuse: "Find as many sets as you can. Besides, are you sure you can wear your brother-in-law's old military uniform?"

When Chunxiao heard Chuxue say that, she quickly replied, "I'll have my older sister sew the edges of the clothes inside."

Chu Xue frowned and asked, "You performed in that show?"

Chunxiao's eyes dimmed: "No, I borrowed it for a classmate."

Chu Xue didn't know what to say: if you call her selfish, she's also selfless, borrowing clothes for her classmates and the class; if you call her selfless, she asked her second sister to borrow clothes for her and her eldest sister to alter them. She really didn't know what to say about her.

I finally couldn't hold back: "You mean you borrowed it for a classmate, and even had your older sister alter the clothes for you?"

Chunxiao was worried that her second sister wouldn't help: "Second sister, we only need nine sets of clothes. If your brother-in-law can help us borrow the right size, then we won't have to trouble our eldest sister to help alter them."

Chu Xue felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this: "What if I don't agree?"

Chunxiao grew anxious: "Second sister, I've hardly ever asked for anything. This is just a matter of brother-in-law asking. You wouldn't even do me this little favor, would you?"

Fu Yancheng overheard the two sisters' conversation from a short distance away. Seeing that everyone was looking over, he quickly stepped forward and said, "It's no use talking to your second sister about this. You can borrow nine sets of clothes, but you have to make sure they are returned in perfect condition. Also, since they are for other people, let them alter them themselves. Your eldest sister has to go to work and take care of Junjun. Where would she find the time?"
