Chapter 20 Rumors Spread



"Aunt, are you going out? Then don't delay. It's okay. I always have a way."

Old Mrs. Xia thought to herself, this old Ma is really unkind, how could he do things this way?

She nodded and said, "You should go home quickly. I think the rain is getting heavier. Be careful not to get sick."

She had just taken a step when she suddenly realized that the coat was beautiful in color and made of solid material. Thinking of Xiang Hong, her eyes rolled and she grabbed Hu Jie, who was about to go home, and said, "Let's go to your house. Show me this coat. I wonder if my Xiang Hong can wear it."

Old Lady Xia dragged Hu Jie to his house and asked him to spread it out for her to see. When Hu Yingying saw Old Lady Xia and the others, she obediently poured two glasses of boiled water over.

"Yingying is so sensible, thank you." Old Mrs. Xia touched her furry head and began to look at clothes.

Hu Jie scratched his head. "Auntie, you really want it. It's not cheap. You don't have to buy this dress for me. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Old Lady Xia rolled her eyes as she inspected the clothes. "You think I'm giving the money to charity? My second son and I are going to the countryside to visit Xiang Hong. We've been together for so many years, so buying her a piece of clothing is not too much. My Xiang Hong is a sensible person."

Hu Jie smiled and said, "Xiang Hong is indeed a good girl. I'll give you a discount. After all, these clothes are unwanted by others. If you really want them, I'll give you a discount."

Old Lady Xia said angrily, "This dress is not torn or dirty, I won't take advantage of you. Besides, every time you come back from outside, you bring us this and that, how can I take advantage of you?"

After looking at it for a long time, Old Mrs. Xia was satisfied. The dress was red in color, had an elegant style, and the lining was carefully made, soft and comfortable. It would definitely suit her Xiang Hong very well. When winter came, when Xiang Hong went out wearing it, other girls would be envious. Old Mrs. Xia was very satisfied.

"You'd better wrap it up for me as it is. This is money, keep it."

Old Mrs. Xia readily counted out a few big unity notes and gave them to him. When they came back, she asked Xiao Hu to bring a pair of small leather shoes for Xiang Hong. Her Xiang Hong would surely fascinate all the single young men in the compound.

Her Xiang Hong looks like her. She was very beautiful when she was young. It's really a good thing for old Chen.

Hu Jie couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. He took a can of malted milk from the cupboard and handed it to Old Lady Xia, "Auntie, please give this to Sister Xiang Hong. I bought it directly from a factory in another city. It's half the price of what the supply and marketing cooperative sells. It's just right for Sister Xiang Hong to replenish her body."

This time it was Old Lady Xia's turn to refuse, so she had to stuff it into the luggage.

Xiao Hu is a very generous kid.

There were more things in Old Mrs. Xia’s luggage, and Chen Xiangnan felt that he could hardly carry it anymore.

Hu Jie originally wanted to stuff it in, but Chen Xiangnan helped Old Lady Xia to refuse. If he stuffed it in again, his back would be broken.

Under Hu Jie's regretful gaze, Chen Xiangnan struggled forward carrying two large bags.

Fortunately, the train station is not far from them.
