Chapter 445 Isn’t this a robbery?
"Director Chen, whose wedding candy is this? It looks so festive."
Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Chen Meilan looked a little embarrassed, and after a while she spoke awkwardly, "It's me."
"What?"
A piece of fruit candy that Su Xiaoxiao had just peeled rolled to the ground.
After being stunned for two seconds, she quickly picked it up and blew on it, and she could eat it within three seconds.
Throw the candy into your mouth, and the sweet fruity flavor immediately spreads in your mouth. Candies in this era are still delicious, without so much technology and hard work.
Wait, we’re not thinking about sugar right now. Chen Meilan just said she was getting married.
"With whom?"
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of gossip.
Chen Meilan's face immediately turned red like a monkey's butt: "It's the one you saw."
"The soldier at the fraternity?"
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked. How long had they been dating? Less than three months. Wasn't this a bit too fast?
"Not anytime soon. Many people who meet on blind dates get married after just one meeting. We've been together for almost three months, so it's almost time."
Chen Meilan answered shyly.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that the other party was Zhou Cheng's comrade-in-arms, and his character should not be too bad, so she nodded immediately: "That's right."
These days are not like modern times. Many people just get together if they look similar.
It’s not like nowadays, where relationships start with a long-term relationship that lasts for several years, and even if you get through the seven-year itch, you may not be able to achieve a happy ending.
Su Xiaoxiao: "When do you plan to have the wedding?"
"Will you be free in a week? I'd like you to be my bridesmaid."
Chen Meilan doesn’t have many good friends, and Su Xiaoxiao is one of them, probably the only one.
"No problem, I'd love to."
Chen Meilan was usually nice to her, so she had to go and support her no matter what.
"Then it's settled."
The two chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Thinking that she would have a holiday the next day, she decided to go to the guesthouse to find Chen Hai and Hu San and discuss taking them out for a walk the next day.
There were also playgrounds in this era, but the facilities were relatively simple.
Su Xiaoxiao decided to take the two of them out for a walk, then go for a stroll in the park, and finally invite them to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, as a way of showing her hospitality.
"Sister Su, I've never been to an amusement park. What does it look like?"
Hu San was so excited when he heard that Su Xiaoxiao was going to take them to the amusement park.
No one has ever taken him there since he was a child.
"You'll know when you get there tomorrow."
"Sister Su, I declare that from now on you are my biological sister. Even my biological sister has never been so nice to me."
Hu San was so excited that he almost jumped up. A man in his early twenties, he was as happy as a child.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to watch it.
Chen Hai is not very interested in amusement parks, but he is very interested in parks.
"Sister Su, you said we can go boating in the park?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and Chen Hai immediately looked forward to it: "Next time I come, I'll take Xiuxiu to try it. She will definitely like it."
This guy is always thinking about his future wife wherever he goes, no wonder he has a partner.
Su Xiaoxiao thought.
After making an appointment with the two of them to meet the next day, she rode her bike home.
I rode all the way home and just as I got off the bike, I heard a mocking voice coming from the house.
"Sister-in-law, this is where you're wrong. After all, we're real relatives. How could you not think of us when there's such a good thing?"
Even if this voice turned into ashes, Su Xiaoxiao could still recognize it. Wasn't it her cheap second aunt?
It has been a while since I came to her house to cause trouble, and she almost forgot about this person.
Is he itching to come to her house to show off again?
Liu Cuilan's voice followed immediately: "If I remember correctly, our two families have severed ties and have no relationship at all."
"Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. Even if we are no longer related, we are still real relatives. We are all related by blood. How can we really sever our ties just like that?"
Zhang Guifang said this with confidence. Knowing that Liu Cuilan's family was now living a prosperous life, she was jealous to death.
Why? When the eldest brother was around, he was the village chief and dominated his family. Now that the eldest brother is gone, there are only a group of orphans and widows left, and they can still live so well.
The most important thing is that Liu Cuilan would rather tell her neighbors about the good bargains at the department store's year-end sales than tell her family. This is too much.
"What do you want to do?"
Liu Cuilan slammed the enamel pot in her hand heavily on the table.
Zhang Guifang said confidently, "Nothing, we just want your third child to buy us some things. We want something on sale at the department store, something cheap. I heard those defective leather shoes are only one dollar. Ask your third child to buy two pairs for her second uncle and two pairs for his cousin as well."
When he said he was going to buy it, I'm afraid he was planning to let her pay for it directly. How is this different from robbing?
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and went in: "Okay, Second Aunt, tell me what you want, and I promise to buy it for you."
I didn't expect that this little girl still had some conscience and knew to show some respect to her aunt.
Just as Zhang Guifang was thinking about this, she heard Su Xiaoxiao say, "But let's make it clear first. I want one dollar for each item, otherwise, no deal."
At this point, she looked at Zhang Guifang with a smile: "Second Aunt, we are all family. If it were someone else, my errand fee would be twice as expensive. Second Aunt, do you have any objections?"
No opinion, no shit!
Zhang Guifang immediately exploded: "Liu Cuilan, look at the good girl you raised. She's asking for money for bringing things to her relatives. She's not afraid of losing her conscience. She charges one dollar for each thing, and the things she brings are not even as expensive as the errand fee. Why don't you just rob her?"
Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes: "Isn't this being snatched?"
Zhang Guifang was so angry that she cursed directly: "You stupid girl, I am your dear second aunt, and I asked you to bring some things and you asked me for money. Given the relationship between our two families, I asked you to bring some things and you shouldn't even accept money. For so many years, my family has helped you, an orphan and a widow, a lot. Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you are also asking for more."
Su Xiaoxiao applauded: "Second Aunt, you are so eloquent. Congratulations! You can even use idioms now."
"Then, let me ask, Second Aunt, how have you helped us, an orphan and a widow, over the years? Was it the two eggs you gave me last year, or was it when Grandma became paralyzed and left us at my house to be raised?"
This sentence left Zhang Guifang speechless.
How come this damn girl is so eloquent?
Just as she was thinking about it, she caught a glimpse of Wang Chunhua walking out with a cane, and she immediately paid attention.
She pinched her thigh hard and rushed forward with tears in her eyes, "Mom, you have to say something fair for me. My sister-in-law's family is really unreasonable. Look, they are all our own people, but they are plotting against us so clearly. When my eldest brother passed away, it was all thanks to my man to preside over the funeral..."
After she finished speaking, she waited eagerly for the old woman to make the decision for her.
