Chapter 006 The little cotton shirt has grown up!

Even though they are so rich, they still try their best to squeeze money out of their family. Every month when their parents get their salary, they are the first to ask for fifteen yuan for pension.

If my parents came back a little late that day, they would be scolded for being unfilial, black-hearted, and not wanting to support the elderly.

After putting the money away, she took out a brand new quilt and an old floral fabric with red patterns from the new product showroom.

This old floral fabric should have been the quilt cover of a previous quilt, but after being exchanged for a new one, it became brand new fabric.

After thinking about it, she walked to the chicken coop in the backyard of her house, threw the tattered mat on it into the junk warehouse, converted it into a new mat, and took it all to her grandparents' house.

Jiang Xiuqing was stunned when she saw her daughter bringing these things to her.

What happened to my daughter?

Mrs. Gu was very happy and hurried forward to take the things. "Xiaoxi, you are still filial!"

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "This is a new quilt I bought yesterday. The cotton is new and soft. The quilt cover and mat are also new. Together they cost fifty yuan. Grandma, do you want them?"

When Mrs. Gu was staring at him with wide eyes, wondering if she could get it for free, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Good cotton is now sold at 60-70 cents per pound, and you may not be able to buy it. This is a large quilt weighing eight pounds, and the quality is very good! I asked my acquaintances and used their connections, and I also had to pay with cotton and cloth coupons."

"If you don't want it, I'll keep it and ask my dad to give you fifty dollars so you can buy it yourself."

Mrs. Gu was immediately conflicted. This thing was a good thing, but she also wanted the money.

Gu Yilan touched the quilt and said with emotion: "If it were me, I would definitely ask for something. Fifty yuan can't buy all these, and there's also a piece of cloth. Xiaoxi is really filial!"

Gu Xiaomei curled her lips and said, "What's the point of being filial? If you are really filial, would you still count money?"

Seeing her sister-in-law's surly temper, Jiang Xiuqing couldn't help but retort, "You are filial? As a daughter, you are planning to delay the fifty yuan until the end of the year! At the end of the year, let your parents lie on the ground and sleep well under the cover of air."

Gu Xiaoxi was immediately happy. What her mother said was really sharp! So good!

Gu Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned red. "I'm already married, so you should take care of my parents. To put it bluntly, a daughter who is married is like water spilled on the ground. I can give her nothing. I have fulfilled my filial duty by coming back to see my parents."

Gu Xiaoxi immediately clapped her hands and cheered when she heard this, "Little aunt is so filial! Big aunt, did you hear that? You should learn from little aunt!"

Gu Yilan was stunned for a moment, then touched her niece's head and said, "You're right! It's my aunt who is narrow-minded!"

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she poked her daughter on the forehead. "What kind of outrageous things are you saying? I raised you and you don't care about your parents anymore? If you have the ability, don't run back to your mother's house..."

Gu Xiaomei felt a pain in the head from being poked, and hurriedly left, "I was just saying it out of anger..."

Old Man Gu said tiredly, "What Xiaoxi brought is worth fifty yuan."

"Okay, Grandpa." Gu Xiaoxi responded immediately and handed the newspaper to his father.

"Dad, you and uncle can go and paste the wall! We can live here by pasting newspapers on the burned side."

"Okay." Gu Yimin nodded and immediately went to make the porridge.

"Mom, you and aunt can help grandpa and grandma thread the needle and sew the quilt!" Gu Xiaoxi found something for her mother to do.

Jiang Xiuqing nodded, "Okay. But this is just the quilt cover, we need to find another piece of cloth to make the lining."

"Let's go look for Uncle San's room! He set the fire and ran away without a trace, nor did he come back. We can't just refuse to give grandma a piece of cloth." Gu Xiaoxi said righteously.

When Liu Chunhua heard this, she immediately said, "I'll go find it!"

In just five minutes, Liu Chunhua came back with several pieces of cloth.

She said angrily: "The third son is such a bad guy. He actually collected so much cloth to give to Widow Li. I think he set the fire this time to steal money to marry Widow Li..."

Jiang Xiuqing didn't care who the third son of the Gu family married, so she didn't respond. She just took a look and pulled out a piece of cloth.

Gu Yilan was not a talkative person, so she spread the mat that Xiaoxi brought on the ground and helped her second sister-in-law to spread out the cloth and quilt and sew the quilt.

Gu Xiaoxi was threading the needle beside her, very seriously.

Seeing how well they cooperated, Gu Xiaomei couldn't help but snort, "It's only September now, and the weather isn't cold. It's not the right time to cover yourself with such a thick blanket. You really have no common sense at all."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her calmly, "Isn't grandpa's bed burned? The mat is cold, and it's chilly to sleep directly on the floor. Just use this quilt as a cushion for now, and get a thin blanket from Uncle San's room later."

Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Xiaoxi, but didn't say anything unpleasant this time.

This girl looks quite pleasing to the eye today, and she even knows how to make plans for them!

By the time we had ordered the quilts and pasted the walls, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

Little Sister Gu did not go back and lived with her mother in the room of Old Third Gu, while Old Man Gu slept on the newly built floor.

Gu Xiaoxi invited his aunt to live in his home.

When they got home, Jiang Xiuqing couldn't help asking, "Xiaoxi, why were you so nice to your grandma today?"

Gu Xiaoxi said softly, "Grandpa and grandma's house only has two rooms, and Uncle San occupies one. If grandma has no place to live, she will definitely come to live in our house. Who knows how she will torture you then. Isn't it said that we spend money to eliminate disasters? We can suffer a little loss to buy comfort."

Jiang Xiuqing quickly realized that if she really let her mother-in-law come to live in her house, she would lose more than fifty yuan, and she would also feel really depressed.

She smiled and touched her daughter's head, "My little cotton-padded jacket has grown up!"

Gu Yilan couldn't help but say, "My mother has always been biased. If you don't know, you might think my second brother and I are not biological children. Xiaoxi did the right thing. She shouldn't have been allowed to live in your house."

At this time, Gu Yimin suddenly said, "Yilan, Xiaoxi is getting engaged tomorrow, so don't go back tomorrow."

Gu Yilan was shocked. "Really? Why didn't I hear you mention it before? Who is the man?"

Gu Yimin briefly explained the matter, "I wanted to tell my parents about it tonight, but then I lost interest and didn't want to mention it anymore. I'll notify them tomorrow!"

Speaking of engagement, Jiang Xiuqing suddenly thought of something, "Xiaoxi, why did you suddenly think of buying a big quilt?"

Gu Yimin immediately looked at his daughter with confusion in his eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi was silent for a while before saying, "Dad, Mom, I heard from a friend yesterday that Gu Xinli wanted to plot against me and secretly signed me up to go to the coldest place in the north, but then someone stopped me and said I had to sign up in person. I thought just in case, I asked someone to buy me a new warm quilt."

Jiang Xiuqing was suddenly excited when she heard this. "How dare she! What a black-hearted person! I'm going to ask her why she did that!"
