Chapter 137 Such is Human Nature
After reading the letter, Huang Feiyan opened the package and was overjoyed to see the red silk scarf and pink sandals inside. These were things she had always wanted, and she never expected Xiaoxiao to buy them for her.
After the initial joy, she hesitated again.
The gift was too expensive for her to accept, but she loved it so much.
Huang Feiyan hesitated for a moment before finding a book tucked away in the corner. She opened it and found a lot of loose change inside: one cent, two cents, five cents, one mao, two mao, and five mao.
She carefully took it out and counted it; it totaled seventeen yuan and eighty-six cents, which was all she had painstakingly saved over the years.
There was money saved from breakfast, lucky money given by relatives during the Lunar New Year, and money earned by helping classmates with their homework...
Her mother was a snob, stingy and petty person, so it was really not easy for her to save this money under her nose.
Gritting her teeth, she counted out ten yuan and put it aside. She would send it to Xiaoxiao after she finished writing the letter. Xiaoxiao had a hard life, and she couldn't accept the gift for nothing.
Looking at the remaining items, which were for the Hua family, Huang Feiyan pursed her lips. Her mother had repeatedly told her not to have any contact with the Hua family members in the alley.
However, since it was just a small request, she had to do it properly.
I need to deliver it quickly before her mom gets off work, otherwise it won't be good if her mom sees it when she gets back.
She rewrapped the package, carried it to the door, looked into the alley (no one was there), and quickly ran towards the Hua family's house. She saw the Hua family's child sitting on the doorstep, quickly shoved the package into his hands, and said, "This is from Xiaoxiao."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Hua Cunming to speak.
Hua Cunming was still in the dark when he heard that it was from Xiao Xiao. He immediately understood, hugged the package tightly, looked around, and quickly ran back to the courtyard.
In the evening, when Huang's mother returned, Huang Feiyan took out her silk scarf and sandals and walked across the street.
As soon as Huang's mother saw the item, she immediately asked where it came from.
Huang Feiyan told the truth that it was a birthday gift from Su Xiaoxiao. Yes, it was her birthday this month, so she could use it as a substitute.
Hearing this, Mrs. Huang curled her lip and said sourly, "Ha, that Su girl really got a great deal. I heard that Old Su and his wife will get several thousand in compensation. Tsk tsk..."
Suddenly, an idea struck her, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Hey, what do you think about giving her to our Xiao Liang?"
Grandma Huang and Dad Huang exchanged a glance without speaking, but their eyes were thoughtful, as if they thought the idea was quite good and were somewhat tempted.
"I don't want to!" Huang Feiliang couldn't sit still any longer and retorted, "I already have someone I like, so don't try to match us up."
"What? You have someone you like? Who is it? What do they do?" Huang's mother couldn't sit still any longer and immediately pressed for details.
Huang Feiliang said impatiently, "It's not even close to being settled yet, don't ask around and ruin my plans..."
"Hey, what do you mean 'ruined your good deed'? I need to know who the other person is to find out about the girl's character and her family situation..."
Huang Feiyan silently left the main room with her silk scarves and sandals, quietly returned to her room, closed the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of her mother's scheme, she couldn't help but curl her lips in disgust, thinking to herself, "With her brother's character, how dare he even think about Xiaoxiao? It's just wishful thinking."
Thinking about her mother's character again, she couldn't help but sigh, and a tall, handsome figure appeared in her mind.
Why isn't he back yet...?
