“You,” Xu Yan looked at Xie Zhuo.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhuo saw that Xu Yan seemed hesitant to speak and thought that she had something she was reluctant to say in front of Yang Shulan.
So he turned his head and called out to Yang Shulan, "Auntie."
Yang Shulan was staring at the two of them when she met Xie Zhuo's gaze. She immediately realized that she was interrupting the two young people's conversation. Before Xie Zhuo could say anything else, she moved to the side.
Xu Yan's reason was not actually that.
Besides, the courtyard of the educated youth settlement is only so big, and now it's packed with people inside and out. Everyone came here for the excitement, and they wish they had more ears to listen.
To put it bluntly, if someone secretly farts, it might alert the entire neighborhood.
Moreover, the two of them were already the center of attention.
Unless you communicate with your mind, if you open your mouth and the other person can hear you, then others will also hear you.
Xu Yan just felt that Xie Zhuo had given far too much.
Especially his mention of "family assets".
Although she didn't know exactly how much money it was, it felt heavy in her hand.
It was as if she had Xie Zhuo's entire future firmly in her grasp.
This feeling made her a little uncomfortable.
Although she is a sucker for good looks, she does indeed like Xie Zhuo's type.
But it's just a liking.
She was only able to marry him because he was a good match.
She couldn't let him risk everything he had.
Besides, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan handed over the money in her hand again, saying, "It's too much, I can't take it."
Xie Zhuo did not answer.
"What I said this afternoon," Xu Yan turned his head and glanced at the crowd, noticing Granny Qian glaring at them, before continuing, "I said it on purpose."
"Some people think I'm an idiot and shamelessly try to fool me. I don't want to curse them, so I can only say it like this."
Someone followed Xu Yan's gaze and glanced at Qian Yingxiu's face.
It was as if they had understood something.
"Pah!" Granny Qian spat at the man and cursed.
After saying that, Xu Yan didn't pay much attention to Granny Qian, and looked at Xie Zhu seriously again, "I really didn't expect to need so many things from you."
The female educated youth tilted her head slightly.
I don't know if it's because of the lighting, but her pupils look darker than usual, her eyelashes are curled, and the corners of her eyes are a little red. When she stares straight at people, it always feels like she's looking into their hearts.
Xie Zhuo turned his head slightly to the side, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He tried to avoid her gaze.
But he couldn't escape it.
Xu Yan was still looking at him.
“I know,” Xie Zhuo said with a hint of helplessness, turning his gaze back to the present.
"Then why are you still..." Xu Yan didn't notice Xie Zhuo's little movements; she was focused on handing over the money.
“It’s what I wanted to give you,” Xie Zhuo said, this time looking Xu Yan in the eye. “In our family, my mother used to be the one who made the decisions.”
Xu Yan opened his mouth, as if to say something.
"It's not a big deal that you're in charge after marriage; it's perfectly normal."
Before she could speak, Xie Zhuo continued, "I'm giving you this money not to burden you."
Upon hearing his words, Xu Yan's heart trembled violently.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Xie Zhuo seemed to understand her concerns.
Is it really as she thinks?
Xie Zhuo...
Then the man in front of her spoke again, “I’m giving you this money because I’m afraid you’ll think I really can’t afford to eat or wear clothes, and then you’ll feel sorry for me and use your own money to help me out.”
Xu Yan really didn't expect Xie Zhuo to say these things.
No one around them expected Xie Laosan to say that.
Many of those who had previously been gossiping and spreading rumors that Xie Zhuo had taken a liking to Xu Yanqian have now shut up.
"I really didn't intend to use such a small amount of stuff..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
But Xu Yan understood.
Xie Zhuo's complete statement was: I really didn't intend to use such a small thing to trap you, nor did I intend to use such a small thing to cling to you.
She inexplicably felt a burning sensation in her eyes.
In that instant, she realized that fate had actually been quite kind to her.
"Xie Laosan will say anything just to show off!"
"Damn, this is all he has. If it weren't for his two brothers in the army and his parents, he would have starved to death long ago!"
Someone who disliked Xie Zhuo immediately made a low snort upon hearing Xie Zhuo's words.
Although the others didn't echo his sentiments, they were thinking the same thing.
Everyone thought that the money Xie Zhuo took out this time was the money that Xie's parents had saved up before.
Unexpectedly, Xie Laosan squandered it all this time.
This educated youth has some tricks up his sleeve!
Many women's eyes swept over Xu Yan.
Some were envious, some couldn't stand it, and some even felt sorry for Xie Zhuo.
However, Xu Yan was in no mood to pay attention to their gazes at the moment; all her attention was on Xie Zhuo.
Xie Zhuo: "..."
Xie Zhuo, unable to bear it any longer, shifted his gaze slightly.
Then he sighed inwardly.
This young educated youth is indeed naive; he can be easily fooled with just a few words.
If this guy really takes charge, the Xie family will probably have to drag their whole family along with the swindler.
Xu Yan had no idea what Xie Zhuo was thinking, but when she heard something fall to the ground in the male educated youth dormitory, she suddenly snapped back to reality.
Xie Zhuo also glanced in that direction.
However, by this time the sun had long since set, the moon had not yet risen, and it was already half dark, so it was impossible to see inside.
