Su Miaomiao looked at him doubtfully.
"So that your father and your brothers won't kick me out." Lu Xiuyuan explained in a low voice.
"Not really. You've helped our family so much this time. My dad and my brothers will be a little more tolerant of you." Su Miaomiao smiled.
"I don't think so. They should compensate me in other ways." Lu Xiuyuan thought he knew the Huo family very well.
"For example?" Su Miaomiao asked back.
"I'm not sure at the moment." Lu Xiuyuan shook his head.
However, after they entered the house, Lu Xiuyuan understood.
Except for Mrs. Huo, everyone else in the main room was seated.
As soon as Su Miaomiao and Lu Xiuyuan entered, they were both stunned, especially Lu Xiuyuan, who subconsciously straightened his back, feeling like he was going to be tried by three judges.
"Miaomiao, have your second aunt and the others settled down?" Huo Jianguo spoke first.
"Yeah." Su Miaomiao nodded.
"That's it," Huo Jianguo responded, then gestured to the two of them, "Sit down, everyone."
Su Miaomiao looked at her family in front of her, then looked at Lu Xiuyuan beside her, and finally took Lu Xiuyuan to sit opposite Huo Jianguo.
"Comrade Lu, I haven't had time to thank you for this period of time because of my second sister-in-law and her family's affairs. Now that we have finally settled down, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you on behalf of our entire family." Huo Jianguo said as he stood up and bowed to Lu Xiuyuan.
"Uncle, this won't do!" Lu Xiuyuan was so scared that he quickly stood up, his waist bent even lower than Huo Jianguo's.
"Dad, what are you two doing?" Su Miaomiao watched from the side and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"This is normal social etiquette. When you accept help from others, you should naturally express your gratitude to them." Huo Jianguo looked at Su Miaomiao with an indifferent expression.
Su Miaomiao didn't know what to say for a moment. She glanced at Lu Xiuyuan out of the corner of her eye. He seemed to be very scared, and sweat was already on his forehead.
"Dad, even if you want to thank me, there's no need to make such a big fuss." Su Miaomiao still felt a little sorry for Lu Xiuyuan, so she said something to help.
"It's not a big deal. My family just wants to thank Comrade Lu." Huo Jianguo almost saw through Su Miaomiao's little thoughts at a glance, but didn't say anything.
He pushed a box on the dining table in front of Lu Xiuyuan.
"Comrade Lu, this is a thank-you gift from our whole family. You can take a look."
"No need for a thank-you gift, I do all this willingly." Lu Xiuyuan quickly refused.
"Whether you are willing is your business, but gratitude is our business. Let's take a look." Huo Jianguo's attitude was quite persistent.
Lu Xiuyuan glanced at Su Miaomiao beside him again, then nodded slightly at him.
Lu Xiuyuan then looked at Huo Jianguo: "Then I'll accept it."
After Lu Xiuyuan took the box, he opened it under everyone's gaze, but when he saw what was inside, his pupils froze.
"Uncle..." Lu Xiuyuan raised his eyes quickly.
"The total amount here is 23,281.61 yuan, which is all our family's current savings." Huo Jianguo said.
"Uncle, I can't accept this." Lu Xiuyuan said as he was about to push the box back, but Huo Jianguo raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Just listen to me first."
Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but pause in his movements.
