Chapter 259: A College Student Comes from the Old Su Family
Su Xiumei was speechless when she learned that Gao Meifeng was going to hold a graduation banquet for Xue Yuxin.
It's really crazy to be poor. I have to hold a banquet just to take an exam.
Do you treat them as ATMs?
She made it clear that she was not going.
If you want to deduct money from her, no way!
"I heard Jiaojiao did well in the exam. It would be nice if we could have a party together." Liang Wencai felt that throwing a graduation party wasn't too much to ask. "We can go to Guolv for a meal. A dozen people can spend only three or four hundred yuan. It'll be fun for everyone to have a good time together."
Su Jiaojiao helped Liang Kun so much, and Liang Wencai has always been grateful.
He had discussed with Liang Kun that when Su Jiaojiao started school, he would give her a red envelope to express his congratulations.
As for Xue Yuxin, he hasn't thought about it yet, but if Su Houli wants to hold a graduation banquet, he can't just hold it for Xue Yuxin and ignore Su Jiaojiao, right?
"Don't pretend to be a good person. You two should do it together. First, ask Su Jiaojiao and Gao Meifeng if they are willing?" Su Xiumei felt that Liang Wencai was good in every way except that he was too naive. It was obvious that it was impossible for Su Jiaojiao and Xue Yuxin to hold a graduation banquet together.
"I'm just making a suggestion. Why are you so excited?" Liang Wencai felt that Su Xiumei's mood was becoming increasingly unstable, so he gently advised her, "If it's a generous gift to treat us to a meal, then we should go and give a red envelope. We still have to visit relatives."
"It's obvious that he wants us to pay for his treat. Why should I listen to him?" Su Xiumei and Su Houli were about to fall out because of Xu Yuxiang's matter. How could they possibly attend Xue Yuxin's graduation banquet!
"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Liang Wencai quickly stopped the subject. "Just say Zhenzhen is still young and can't leave. Just give her a red envelope."
"What? I still need to give a red envelope?" Su Xiumei felt that Liang Wencai didn't understand what she meant, and scolded him, "If he doesn't go, there's no need to give a red envelope. His affairs have nothing to do with us."
Liang Wencai didn't know what to say.
Su Houli was not surprised to learn that Su Xiumei was not coming. She was too strong-willed and never gave face to others. So what if she didn't come?
He didn't want to call Su Houde at first. After all, no one can come empty-handed, especially for something like a graduation banquet.
But when he thought about it, they were brothers after all, and it was not easy to hide such a thing from him. Gao Meifeng informed her family members, and he couldn't leave no one alone, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
For this purpose, he went back to the village and told them about the graduation banquet: "It's just a family gathering, no outsiders allowed. Big brother, you must go."
Feng Yuefen was unhappy when she heard this: "You thought of us paying for it? Our Cuicui doesn't go to school, and we didn't hold any graduation banquet. How can you have the nerve to let us go?"
"Sister-in-law, let's be clear. When Jinbao gets into university, we'll have to contribute." Su Houli didn't expect Feng Yuefen to think this way. "It's just for everyone to get together and have some fun."
"No." Feng Yuefen was worried about Su Cuicui's affairs, so she had no time to watch Gao Meifeng showing off. Xue Yuxin was not a child of the Su family, so Su Houli treated her like a treasure.
She had heard from Su Cuicui that Su Jiaojiao had scored better than Xue Yuxin.
Chen Guilan didn't even say she was going to hold a graduation party, so why would Xue Yuxin hold such a party? She's crazy!
Su Houde said nothing.
Anyway, Feng Yuefen has the final say on all matters big and small at home. He only cares about farming and going to sea, and doesn't care about other things.
Su Houli was frustrated and felt depressed. After leaving Su Houde's house, he went next door to see Xu Yuxiang.
Su Xiumei disagreed with Xu Yuxiang's relationship with Old Man Liu. After trying to persuade her in vain, she went straight to Old Man Liu's two daughters and told them that if Old Man Liu dared to come to Xu Yuxiang again, she would call the police and have him arrested.
Old man Liu's two daughters were not pushovers either. The two sisters quarreled with Su Xiumei for a long time and even alerted the police station.
Old man Liu had lived to a ripe old age, but had never been humiliated like this before. He almost had a heart attack and swore with gritted teeth that he would never have anything to do with Xu Yuxiang again.
In order to prevent Xu Yuxiang from resenting her, Su Xiumei said that Old Man Liu was sick and dying, and asked her not to worry about him.
Xu Yuxiang didn't believe it at first and asked Feng Yuefen to find out. Feng Yuefen secretly went to the city to find Old Man Liu. Coincidentally, Old Man Liu was actually admitted to the hospital.
Although Feng Yuefen was willing to let Xu Yuxiang live with Old Man Liu, she was unwilling to do so if Old Man Liu was sick. What if Xu Yuxiang brought someone back to serve him?
After she came back, she exaggerated Liu Laohan's illness and said it was very serious, almost saying that he was dying.
Xu Yuxiang finally gave up.
She was old, not stupid. Of course she was unwilling to serve others at her age. She was depressed for more than half a month, and after convincing herself, she moved to the house next door and lived alone.
Anyway, Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao couldn't kick her out.
When Xu Yuxiang heard that Su Houli was planning to hold a graduation banquet for Xue Yuxin, she knew without a doubt that it was Gao Meifeng's idea. She started cursing, "What a spendthrift woman! The little money you earned was squandered by them. Can't you just listen to them? If you want to show off, just cook at home. Why bother going to a restaurant?"
"Let her do what she wants!" Su Houli didn't want to argue with Gao Meifeng about this matter, so he frowned and said, "It's just a matter of one month's salary anyway. It doesn't matter if Big Brother and the others don't want to go."
"By the way, is Xue Yuxin's grandmother going?" Xu Yuxiang suddenly asked Su Houli.
"Go." Su Houli nodded, "She said five people from her family are coming."
"So many people are coming to their house?" Xu Yuxiang thought for a moment. "If they don't go, I'll go, but I don't have any money."
"Mom, it's great that you can come. There's no need for you to pay." Su Houli knew that Xu Yuxiang loved him the most. He took out a few big unity banknotes from his pocket, counted them and handed them to her. "Here are sixty yuan. When you give it to Xue Yuxin, just say it's from you."
"Okay, that's it." Xu Yuxiang didn't refuse and happily pocketed the money. "I can't stand Gao Guoshi's arrogance. If she says anything unpleasant, I won't agree with her."
"Mom, let's make it clear first. You can't quarrel with others." Su Houli frowned. "We have already spent the money, so we should have a happy meal."
"I know, as long as the people over there don't cause trouble, I certainly won't make things difficult for them." Xu Yuxiang just disliked Gao Guo.
"Mom, Jiaojiao also passed the exam, and she did quite well, even better than Xue Yuxin!" Su Houli said with joy, "We have a college student in our family too!"
"Really? That's great!" Xu Yuxiang's eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together and bowed to the air. "Thanks to our ancestors for blessing us, our Su family has a college student. I pray that our ancestors will bless our Jinbao to be admitted to university as well."
On the day of the graduation banquet, Xu Yuxiang left for the city early. She did not go to the China Travel Service, but went to Century Garden quietly.
