Chapter 998 Rejection Again
After preparing the things, Xiao's mother said with a distressed look on her face: "This is not a small amount of things. I'm afraid that we don't have such a gift in our area."
Chu Xue said directly, "It's not that your status has changed. Before, you were farmers working in the fields, and now you belong to a working-class family that earns a living from the government. You can't do worse than what the villagers give you. If you do, you'll be laughed at, and you won't be able to hold your back straight when you go back."
She doesn't care what they think, she just flatters them.
Xiao's mother thought about it and agreed. Since her family had made such a big move, the Qiu family would definitely not be able to find fault with them.
When Xia Qiu got married, the Xiao family had not yet split up, so naturally they could not afford an expensive dowry. It was indeed unfair to the eldest daughter. It would not be too much to give more now. After all, their lives are much better now than before.
After the first snow was cleaned up, he took a basin of water and returned to the house.
After locking the door, he slipped into the space again, rummaged through the pile of things he had looted into the space before, found a standard silver lock, took a bowl and filled it with water from the pool in the space, and threw it in.
Only then did he leave the space to wash his face, brush his teeth, and tidy himself up.
After all, they had to take the earliest bus, and Fu Yancheng would probably be here soon.
Sure enough, just as she finished cleaning up, there was a knock on the door.
Father Xiao heard the sound and came out from the kitchen: "Who is it?"
Fu Yancheng held up the fried dough sticks that had just come out of the wok: "It's me, Yancheng."
Father Xiao, who was about to open the door, said as he walked out, "The door is not locked, come in."
When he saw what Fu Yancheng was holding, he said, "Oh, why did you buy food again? Didn't I tell you that you don't have to spend money when you come here in the future? Why don't you listen?"
Fu Yancheng raised the fried dough sticks in his hand and said, "I don't have much time off normally, so I can't take care of Xue'er all the time. Naturally, I want to compensate her more during my vacation. Besides, my aunt needs to replenish her body now. When I came here, there were not many people in the queue, so I brought some with me."
Now that I have bought it, it is not good to keep talking about it.
Father Xiao warned again: "When you get married, you will have many more places to spend money. You must be more frugal in the future."
Fu Yancheng was also a bit stubborn: "Uncle, don't worry, my salary is enough to support Chuxue, and I will let her endure the hardships with me."
Chu Xue came over and heard this. Not wanting him to continue, she quickly said, "I'm coming."
Fu Yancheng saw Chuxue holding up the fried dough sticks in her hand and said, "I brought you some bangchui fruit. They're still hot. Come and have some."
At this time, Chun Xiao also walked out of the room: "Second sister, I want to go with you today."
Chu Xue disagreed. Since they couldn't get along well on weekdays, she didn't want to force herself: "We have other things to do today, so it's not convenient for us to take you with us. If you want to go, let Dad take you there another day."
Although the reason sounds lame, Chuxue doesn't want to feel uncomfortable herself, so she can only make others feel uncomfortable.
As for what Xiao's father and mother would think after hearing this, that was none of his business. After all, they also knew what Chunxiao had done before. There was nothing wrong with him rejecting her. Who would want to make things difficult for him?
When Chunxiao heard this, she stamped her feet and said, "Mom and Dad, look at my second sister."
Before she could finish her words, she heard Father Xiao say, "Alright, school is about to start in a few days. Your second sister is doing this for your own good. Besides, your second sister said they have other things to do and it's inconvenient to bring you along. So don't go up there."
What could he do? He couldn't force Chuxue to bring Chunxiao with him in front of his future son-in-law. Even before Chuxue made a move, Fu Yancheng would be unhappy.
