Chapter 350: Showing Your Attitude
The three of them looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.
Even Chunxiao, who ran home after hearing the news, kept silent: "Mom, I heard there are guests at home?"
Chunxiao asked while looking around.
Mother Liu hummed softly, "Yes, your second sister helped a child before, and the family came to thank her."
Chunxiao looked around but didn't see anyone: "Where are they?"
Mother Liu looked at her little girl, not knowing what she was thinking: "It's already this late, of course she's gone."
"Ah, I ran back as soon as I got the news, but I haven't seen anyone yet."
"It doesn't matter whether you see him or not. He's not here to see you."
Seeing that the little girl was silent, she said, "Okay, go to the kitchen and help your second sister serve the dishes."
The two sisters brought the dishes to the table, and Father Liu came in holding a watermelon.
Mother Liu was anxious: "Didn't we say that the rest would be used to entertain the in-laws tomorrow? Why did you pick them?"
Father Liu knew she had misunderstood: "I didn't pick the one you left on purpose. This one ran to the thorn tree, and I just took a lot of effort to pull it back. I wanted to pick one and let you taste it too."
Mother Liu finally felt relieved. She gave away a few today, and she had thought about the rest. She would cut one to entertain the guests tomorrow, and the rest would be just the right amount for the in-laws to take back as a return gift, as a token of their appreciation.
After staring at the watermelon in Father Liu's arms, he reached out and took it: "This one is quite big, just right for entertaining guests tomorrow. Let's eat it first and talk about it after tomorrow."
Father Liu was about to say something, but then he heard Mother Liu say, "The social status of our two families is quite different. We can't afford anything else except these. Let's just use them for tomorrow first."
Chu Xue felt bad when she heard this: "Mom, I know you are thinking about me, but if they want to use our family against us because of our family background, then we don't need to get married. We should just be ourselves and don't try to please them. If you really do that, you will hurt me instead."
When Liu's mother heard her daughter's words, she was stunned.
Seeing her expression, Chu Xue continued, "Mom, although we live in the countryside, your daughter is not bad. It was Fu Yancheng who came to ask for marriage, not me who had to get involved. The attitude you show at the beginning is particularly important."
Father Liu was the first to react: "Chuxue is right. We can't let them think that we want our daughter to get close to them when we meet for the first time."
Mother Liu thought about it and said: "Okay, then I'll listen to my daughter."
Chunxiao had different ideas, but she didn't dare say them out loud for fear of being attacked by the crowd.
Mother Liu urged them to eat and clean up: "Wash up and rest early tonight, get up early tomorrow to prepare, and no one should sleep in."
No one dared to object.
After Chuxue finished washing up and returned to her room, she closed the doors and windows, turned off the lights and entered the space.
When she went to work in the afternoon, she heard from the aunts and sisters that the family in the cowshed might not be able to hold on. It was said that not only the child had a high fever, but even the child's father fell ill. The remaining old man and old lady were now exhausted.
In fact, most of the people who were sent down these days were seen as having suffered unexpected disasters in the eyes of later generations. Thinking of the humble expression of the old man who came to ask for medicine today, I felt a little uncomfortable. Well, now that I know about it, I might as well help him.
After entering the space, she took out some flour from the warehouse. Of course, it was impossible to make pure white flour directly, so she made three-in-one flour pancakes, thinking that while helping others she would not harm herself. Even if someone deliberately made trouble, it would be understandable.
