Chapter 118: Shameless upgrade!
"What are you talking about? We are your parents. You little bastard, you are so arrogant that you dare to talk to us like that."
"You little bitch, don't threaten us with this. You shameless thing, you're pregnant with Gu Yunting's child before you even get married. I'm lucky I didn't let you get pregnant, and now you dare to bargain with us? If you really have the guts, just let Gu Yunting marry you. Why are you reduced to the point of mending clothes and serving others here? To put it bluntly, you're waiting for us to help you out."
"You cheap bastard! You kicked the Gu family's kid. They don't want you, but you're still speaking for them. You're really ungrateful. We might as well raise a pig than you do. Pork sells for a lot of money these days. Are you hoping to get married without a dowry? You're such a bitch!"
"If the Gu family dares not agree to the betrothal gifts, I will make a scene for them and let everyone know. Let's see if these so-called respectable people can afford to lose this person. Besides, no matter how much money we ask for, it's earned by our own ability. Don't even think about the betrothal gifts. When you marry into the Gu family and have enough food and drink, why would you bother with us?"
………
The Su family couple kept talking back and forth. Su Mengxue did not interrupt them, but stood aside and listened to their chatter and watched their performance. At this moment, all she could think about was that if it were the original owner, they would have eaten her until not even a bone was left.
Seeing that Su Mengxue didn't respond, they thought she was intimidated by them. Su Daqiang continued arrogantly, "I've been talking to your mother and my mouth is dry. I'm also hungry. You, the damn girl, are really becoming more and more ignorant. You don't even know how to pour us a glass of water. Okay, stop talking. Take us to a restaurant now."
Wu Xianghong's eyes glanced at the fabrics in the room. After looking at them for a while, she started to touch them with her rough fingers. After she touched all the fabrics hanging outside, she glanced at the silk fabrics in the cabinet, her eyes shining.
Without waiting for Su Mengxue to stop her, she reached out and touched it. Su Mengxue quickly stopped her and said, "The materials here are the most expensive in the store. If you get them dirty, we can't afford to pay for it!"
Wu Xianghong glared at her fiercely and scolded her, "You damned girl, you've only been in the city for a few days and you already look down on your own family. How can I possibly break something just by touching it? The more you tell me not to, the more I'll do it!"
As she spoke, she began to feel around for the fabrics. After she had touched all the fabrics in the cabinet, she pointedly reminded him, "This material looks precious and feels so soft and sticky. I wonder how comfortable it would be to wear clothes made of it? If I could have two sets of clothes like this, wouldn't Aunt Wang, Sister Zhang, and the others be so jealous of me when they see me when I get home?"
As soon as the words fell, Su Daqiang understood. He immediately directed his command to Su Mengxue, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and get some cloth to make your mother two beautiful dresses. If your mother hadn't mentioned it, why wouldn't you have asked? I've noticed that you, a damned girl, have only been in the city for a few days, and your heart has become as black as the people there."
Before Su Mengxue could say anything, Wu Xianghong said, "They say clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. If I can have a few nice sets of clothes, you'll have face too. When you go to the Gu family, they won't look down on you. In the end, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Su Mengxue frowned and replied with a half-smile, "I only make a few dozen yuan a month, and I haven't even worked for a full month yet. Even if I did, this little money wouldn't be enough to buy you this kind of fabric."
After she finished speaking, she saw Wu Xianghong was about to speak again, so she quickly added, "Don't accuse me of being unfilial. If you really like it, how about this? You pay for it first? I'll pay you back when I save enough money later."
"You damn girl, where do I get so much money?"
"Yeah, you don't have that much money, so where would I get it from?"
"You..." Wu Xianghong raised her hand and pointed at her angrily, shouting, "You damn girl, stop pretending here. I don't believe that Gu Yunting didn't give you a penny and just sent you out empty-handed."
Just as Su Mengxue was about to speak, she heard the master's voice behind her: "Girl, are there guests? Why are they still noisy when I hear them?"
Su Mengxue pouted and said, "Grandpa, it's okay."
Wu Xianghong looked up at the old man walking towards them. After taking a look, she smiled and said, "Are you the owner of this store? We are Mengxue's parents. We came to the city specially to see her. This child has been spoiled by the two of us. She must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Zhou Weidong had been listening in the yard for a while. He was afraid that they would make the scene too ugly, so he walked in. Through their conversation just now, he already had a deep understanding of the couple. No wonder Su Mengxue always thought about making money. It turned out that there was a pair of Zhou Baopi in the family.
Although he disliked them in his heart, he was also a man who had experienced many ups and downs, and the smile on his face did not diminish: "You are being polite. Mengxue is a sensible and capable child, and she is also hardworking. She is a rare good child. How could she cause trouble for me?"
He paused and added, "You haven't had time to eat since you came here, right? The store isn't busy at this time, and I know a good restaurant nearby. I'd like to take you two out for a bite to eat."
"Oh, that's really too much trouble for you. We don't feel comfortable doing that. But since you've asked, we can't refuse you. So we'll respectfully obey your order."
Zhou Weidong said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I like Mengxue from the bottom of my heart. Since you are Mengxue's parents, you are not outsiders to me. You don't have to be so polite."
Su Daqiang laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared: "Yes, yes, old man, we won't be polite with you."
"Grandpa, you've already eaten by now. It's lunchtime now. Go and have a rest. I'll take my parents out for a quick bite to eat."
Su Mengxue understood the couple's true colors and didn't want the old master to be cheated in vain, so she spoke to them in time.
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Xianghong and Su Daqiang looked at each other. Just as they were about to speak, they heard Zhou Weidong say, "Mengxue, your parents rarely come here, it won't be a problem for me to go to bed early and sleep a little later."
Wu Xianghong had long wanted to try the food at the city's restaurants, and she knew that Su Mengxue, that damned girl, wouldn't be willing to treat them to a good meal. Hearing Zhou Weidong say this, she quickly responded, "Yes, yes, old people don't sleep much, so going to bed early and staying up late won't be a problem."
Su Mengxue turned to look at Wu Xianghong, frowned, and complained, "Mom, that's not what you said. Grandpa Zhou is old, and he always has trouble sleeping. If we delay his rest, then it will be our fault."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the old master again and said with a smile: "Grandpa, during the lunch break, I will take my parents out to eat something and settle them down."
Zhou Weidong thought for a moment and replied, "That's right. Your parents just arrived, and you should have some private conversation. I won't go then. But Mengxue, your parents have finally come to the city, you have to take them out for a good meal. As for the meal, I'll pay for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Weidong took out five Great Unity banknotes from his pocket and handed them to her.
"Grandpa, I have it, you don't need to give me money."
Su Mengxue hastily declined, but unexpectedly Su Daqiang reached out and took the money: "Girl, how could the old man be short of money? Since he is so kind to us, we can't spoil his fun."
