After the siblings had a hearty meal, they returned to school.
Xi Ran handed the two new outfits she had bought yesterday to Xi Yan.
Xi Yan looked completely bewildered. "For me?"
Xi Ran rolled her eyes at him. Isn't that obvious?
If it wasn't bought for him, why would she hand it to him? Did she have nothing better to do?
Xi Yan received a disapproving look from his older sister and took the clothes from her.
"Thanks! Don't buy me anything next time, I have clothes to wear."
Xi Ran looked helpless and pointed to Xi Yan's clothes, "Your clothes don't fit anymore. If I don't buy you new ones, are you just going to watch you turn long pants into cropped pants?"
Xi Yan looked embarrassed; he wasn't used to his sister being so blunt.
Doesn't he have any pride?
"I'll buy them myself from now on. I have money from my part-time job."
Xi Ran rolled her eyes at Xi Yan, "We're siblings, is it necessary to be so calculating?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Sister, please don't misunderstand me. After all, you're married now, so it's a bit inappropriate for you to buy me clothes now."
Xi Ran thought about it and realized it made sense. She didn't really buy the clothes. Chu Jiangyi had chosen the style, but he was the one who bought them. Strictly speaking, she didn't buy them.
“These two outfits were indeed not bought by me. They were bought by your brother-in-law. He said that your clothes were too short and didn’t fit properly, so he remembered to buy them for you. I feel ashamed to say that he noticed these little details, but I didn’t. I’m really not as good as your brother-in-law.”
Xi Yan's eyes were red. He thought his sister had chosen and bought the clothes, but he never expected that his brother-in-law, whom he rarely saw, had bought them.
How did he notice my clothes didn't fit?
Xi Ran sighed, "What's so difficult about that? I often share photos of our life at school with him, so it's not surprising that he can tell. After all, you're all boys, and you need pretty much the same things. I'm a girl, so I thought that boys' clothes were pretty much the same as ours, and the lengths we needed should be similar too. But yesterday, your brother-in-law told me that boys like to wear longer clothes."
"Only then did I realize that I thought your clothes were originally cropped pants, but I didn't realize that your clothes were already too short. Whether I'm married or not, I'll always be your sister. Don't be so distant with us in the future, it makes me very sad."
"I understand, sister!"
“If you don’t want to go back to that home, then we won’t go back. Your sister’s home is also your home. Your brother-in-law bought both of the two rental apartments on campus at G University, as well as the two apartments across the street. You can go back with your sister to buy those apartments in the future. We’ll keep those apartments for you.”
"good!"
Xi Yan's eyes were red. He had never imagined that his brother-in-law would buy those two houses, those two houses that made him feel at home.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
Where did he get the money?
"Borrow it!"
"borrow?"
"Yes! I borrowed a lot of money from my father-in-law, and now I'm paying him back in installments."
Xi Yan smiled; Uncle Chu's educational methods were truly unique.
"Don't make excuses not to go home during winter and summer vacations anymore. You can live in that house as long as you want. Even if you get married in the future, you can still live there if you want. Your brother-in-law and I will not have any objections."
“Your brother-in-law said that when you have money in the future, you can buy that house from him. He will keep it for you forever, and you can live there forever. No one can kick you out, and you don’t have to listen to those unnecessary nagging.”
"From now on, you don't have to do things that make you unhappy, you don't have to compromise, and you don't have to worry about being kicked out..."
"Mmm! Thank you, sister!"
"We don't need to be so polite between us. You're still young, so don't put so much invisible pressure on yourself. Cherish the present. I hope you can enjoy university life and not worry about money every day. You don't need to support anyone right now, understand?"
"I see!"
Xi Ran pursed her lips and said, "Your brother-in-law has talked to me. He will cover all your college expenses, but you need to sign an IOU. You can pay him back in installments every month after you start working. You are a student now, and we all hope that you can focus all your energy on your studies. After all, everyone's energy is limited, and we don't want you to regret it in the future."
"You can now balance studying and working, but that will make you very tired. People who have no personal life live a very boring life. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I will give your suggestions a good consideration."
Xi Ran nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it, isn't it?"
