Chapter 460: Cheap Cousin Visits
Su Xiaoxiao came forward curiously: "Mom, who is she?"
Liu Cuilan snorted, "Who else could it be? Your cousin who looks down on us country folk now that she's climbed up the social ladder."
When she said this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately remembered that she had heard from relatives that her cousin had married a city man and moved her household registration to the city.
I haven't contacted my poor relatives for several years because I was afraid that they would come to ask for money.
"Cousin, are you home?"
Liu Cuifen continued to shout at the top of her lungs at the door, as if she would not leave unless anyone paid attention to her.
"I'd like to see what she's going to do."
Liu Cuilan opened the door with a sullen look on her face. Seeing Liu Cuifen standing there, she sneered, "Didn't you say you'd never see each other again, never deal with us peasants? Why are you still here?"
"Cousin, look at what you're saying. We're actually relatives, closer than sisters. How can we really not keep in touch?"
Liu Cuifen smiled warmly.
Liu Cuilan didn't buy her tricks and said with a sullen face, "If you have something to say, tell me quickly. I'm still busy."
Liu Cuifen was about to say something when she smelled the aroma of meat coming from the yard, and her saliva almost watered.
Although she married a city man, that was a face-saving thing. Her mother-in-law was very stingy and the family didn't have meat to eat for ten days or half a month.
"Cousin, I've come all this way. If you have anything to say, why don't we go inside and sit down and talk slowly?"
At this point, she even lifted the basket in her hand and said, "Look, I brought eggs especially for you."
Liu Cuilan took a look and saw that there were only seven or eight eggs in the basket at most. This was the first time that the stingy man had plucked the eggs.
As far as I can remember, this cousin never brought anything when she came to my house.
While despising the poor countryside, he still shamelessly asked her for vegetables grown at home, saying that those grown in the village were better than those bought.
To put it bluntly, it's just that you can't get enough of taking advantage.
Later, when she married into the city, she looked down even more on these poor relatives from the countryside.
After all, the other person came with something, and Liu Cuilan didn't have the nerve to kick him out.
He made way for me expressionlessly: "Come in."
Liu Cuifang walked into the house as if she knew the place well, and when she saw Su Xiaoxiao in the house, she smiled even more warmly.
"Oh, this is Xiaoxiao, she's getting more and more beautiful. When I was little, I thought she would be very successful when she grows up."
Liu Cuifen enthusiastically stepped forward and took Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Xiaoxiao, I heard that you are now a manager at a department store in the city. You really bring honor to your Li family. You are so promising."
"Ever since I was little, I've noticed that you're the cutest and most energetic of all the kids in your family."
Liu Cuilan raised her eyelids when she heard this, not hesitating to expose her.
Didn't he always call his third child a money-loser when he was little? Now he's licking him.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by the compliments and tried to wink at her mother.
This cheap cousin is too enthusiastic, and she can hardly hold herself back.
"Okay, stop with the polite talk and just tell me what you want to say."
Liu Cuifen put the basket on the table with a wry smile: "Well, actually, I just have a small matter that I would like to trouble Xiaoxiao for help."
No wonder he was so enthusiastic, it turned out he couldn't hold his fart well.
Liu Cuilan crossed her arms and looked at Liu Cuifen: "Hey, her cousin, you are a city person. How can my daughter, a country girl, help?"
Didn't they always mock them as country bumpkins before? Why didn't they continue to act noble now?
Liu Cuifen's face turned pale when she heard these words, but she still forced a smile: "Cousin, look at what you said. When have I ever looked down on you for being from the countryside?"
This person can really lie with her eyes open. Liu Cuilan was too lazy to argue with her. She delayed their meal and there was braised pork stewing in the pot.
She sneered in response to her question.
It seems to be saying, do you believe what you say?
Liu Cuifen pretended not to understand and leaned over to Su Xiaoxiao with a flattering face. "Xiaoxiao, your cousin just graduated from high school. Can you see if you can get her a job at your department store? Your cousin has never done any work at home since she was a child. Can you arrange a less busy position for her with a slightly higher salary?"
Su Xiaoxiao: What if she's the turtle in the wishing well? A leisurely, high-paying job? Wouldn't she jump on the opportunity first?
"Aunt, you may have some misunderstandings. I'm just an acting manager. I don't have any real power and can't help you."
She repeated what she had just said to her group of cheap relatives.
"What? Just a substitute? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Isn't this just wasting her time?
Su Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "Didn't you ask it?"
Liu Cuifen: “…”
If she had known it was just a substitute, why would she make this trip?
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the eggs in her basket: "Aunt, did you bring these eggs specially for us to eat?"
Liu Cuifen hurriedly picked up the basket and said, "What eggs? I brought some for my neighbor."
You can't help, but you still want to eat her eggs. Are you dreaming?
She picked up the basket and prepared to leave, but the rich aroma of meat in the air made her legs a little difficult to move.
"Cousin, I've come all this way here, and it's already dinner time. Can I just stay at your house for a meal?"
Bah, he's still as shameless as ever.
He's so stingy and yet he wants to eat at her house? How can she not be so happy?
"You city people are pampered. I don't think our simple meals will appeal to you, so I won't waste your time."
Liu Cuilan chased the person away directly. She had no good impression of this snobbish cousin at all.
"Fourth and fifth brothers, hurry up and see your aunt off."
She shouted into the house, and the fourth and fifth sons came out immediately.
Seeing Liu Cuifen, he was stunned for a moment.
"Mom, where did this relative come from?"
Ever since their third sister became an official, there have been relatives coming to ask for money every now and then.
How can you two little bastards talk like that?
"Cousin, you need to teach these two little ones how to talk to their elders."
"My children are fine, so you don't have to worry about them. Fourth and fifth children, send them away quickly."
Liu Cuifen wanted to stay a while longer and have a free meal, but the two naughty kids grabbed her arms and dragged her out.
"Uneducated thing! Bah!"
Liu Cuifen looked at the courtyard door that slammed shut in front of her and walked away cursing.
The troublemaker left, and the two little brothers jumped up and down: "Mom, can we eat meat now? We are so hungry!"
"Eat, eat, eat. Eat as much as you want today."
As Liu Cuilan spoke, she lifted the lid of the pot. A rich aroma hit them in the face, and the two naughty children almost drooled on their feet.
Half a pot of braised pork and potatoes, soft and tasty, with a rich soup, Su Xiaoxiao was drooling just watching.
At this moment, there was another knock on the gate. The three of them turned their heads in unison, their eyes filled with resentment. Who was this? Was this going to end?
