After changing clothes and going to the meeting point, everyone was already waiting, their teasing gazes sweeping back and forth between the two-person rooms.
Without saying a word, Xie Lin didn't dare to look at anyone. He led the silly girl, who seemed completely oblivious to any awkwardness, into the ugly car.
However, he was unlucky; his driver turned out to be a complete stranger.
Why did he go too?
Lu Fan was like a mind reader to him; being disliked was something he clearly understood.
He grinned, showing his bright white teeth. "Grandpa Xiao asked me to come along. If you don't want to see this, you can pretend I don't exist."
He left those words behind and looked toward his source of joy.
"Sister-in-law, my grandma heard that your grandma, oh, that's your second grandma, is here. She was very happy and asked me to bring you a gift."
"Sister-in-law, what gift would you like?"
He didn't even like radios, and he couldn't figure out his sister-in-law's preferences. He couldn't very well buy her a small loudspeaker, could he?
Glancing at his new personal belongings, he realized he had a sword. "Should I get a stick for my sister-in-law?"
"You want to give Shishi a gift? Is any price acceptable?"
"Of course, sister-in-law, please feel free to ask."
Given how much his grandmother cared for Song Yunjiang, she would probably be willing to give up half of her family fortune. Besides, his sister-in-law didn't recognize anything too valuable, so he wasn't worried at all about not having enough money in his pocket.
"Okay, then you can buy a record player for Chou Chou. Shi Shi got a lot of red envelopes, so much money. Even Chou Dan said he didn't have enough money to buy it. Do you have enough money to buy it?"
Xie Lin lowered his head and pretended to be dead, refusing to look at anyone.
Money, it can never be.
Zhou Tong, who was sitting in front holding Chou Chou, suddenly froze.
He knew he shouldn't have come to this car, but the little guy insisted on dragging him over.
I don't know what it was about me that caught his eye, but he seems to like clinging to me.
The thought of his friend saying the record player would arrive by ferry that afternoon made him want to slap himself.
What a surprise! Serves them right.
I was planning to have someone pick it up after I left, but if I don't speak up now, and Lu Fan brings me another one, my brother-in-law will probably have no peace.
No, to be precise, the compound was in turmoil.
Sure enough, the next second, the unsuspecting Lu Fan agreed, "Hey, what's so difficult about that? Leave it to me, sister-in-law, you wait..."
"No need to buy it. I asked a friend to find one, and the CDs are ready. I can pick it up in a bit."
Xie Lin's eyes widened as he looked at Zhou Tong in disbelief.
No, brother-in-law, you can't just drop bombs like that.
"Ahem, Ninth Brother, this is too much trouble for your friend. It's not good. You should tell him it's not necessary. I will try my best to do tasks to save money to buy it for Chou Chou."
"Chou Chou is such a good boy, I believe he definitely doesn't want to trouble others and can wait, right, Chou Chou?"
Please have mercy, brother-in-law! You should understand me, please understand me quickly!
When Chou Chou heard that there would be a record player soon, he was so happy that he stomped his feet. He didn't hear what the patriarch had just said.
"Really? Really? Ninth Brother, is there really a record player? Is it the same kind of record player as Shi Shi's little trumpet?"
Shishi was also very excited, holding up her little megaphone and asking, "Brother Nine Eggs, is this the same record player?"
Zhou Tong felt a pang of sadness welling up inside, but outwardly remained calm and composed, saying, "Yes, it was a very loud voice."
"Wow, that's great, Ugly! You can dance all the time now, aren't you happy?"
"Hehehe, ChouChou is very happy and wants to jump right now."
Lu Fan seemed to realize something and immediately shut his mouth.
He genuinely thought it was his sister-in-law who wanted it.
I can't imagine if my good brother's house was filled with that kind of quirky dance every day, would he not want to go home?
