Although the relationship between the Fu Qing brothers has improved a lot, Li Xu would never believe that Fu Lin would buy him a watch as a wedding gift.
"That's true! It's on my wrist, how could it be false?" Fu Qing grinned widely and continued to show off, "Did you see that bicycle with the big red flower hanging on it in the yard just now? My eldest brother also owns that one. He paid 100 yuan, and my parents paid the rest."
Li Xu: ...
"Did your brother take the wrong medicine?"
Hearing this, Fu Qing immediately became unhappy, "Old Li, take back what you said quickly. He is my elder brother, I don't allow you to say that about him."
Wow, this face is so real.
"Okay, okay, I'll take it back." Li Xu glanced at him and said unhappily, "Then tell me why he spent so much money on you."
Fu Qing chuckled, "I'm his only brother. As an older brother, shouldn't he spend some money on my wedding? Besides, he didn't spend much, just over a hundred yuan in total."
"Over a hundred yuan?" Li Xu pondered for a moment, then revealed a surprised expression. "He bought the watch for you with industrial coupons?"
Since November, the price of watches has plummeted.
It used to sell for 180, but now you can buy it for only 100.
If it was sold cheaply before, it will be even cheaper now.
However, the price drop of high-priced watches was not as significant, still remaining above 200 yuan.
By this calculation, Fu Lin only spent a few dozen dollars to buy this watch. Such a cheap price could only be bought with industrial coupons.
Sure enough, Fu Qing smiled and responded, "You guessed right, it was bought with industrial coupons."
"He probably doesn't have enough coupons, did you and Uncle Fu collect them for him?"
"Of course. He buys things for me. I can't do anything else for him, but I can still help him with a few coupons."
Li Xu was silent for a moment, and after a long while he said with difficulty, "Don't tell me they bought that bicycle at a high price."
There are three working people in the Fu family, and the industrial coupons they received in the past few months can only buy one large item.
This is still the case even though the number of industrial coupons required to buy a watch is now lower than before.
So after Fu Lin bought the watch, the remaining coupons were definitely not enough to buy a bicycle.
However, the price of bicycles has not dropped. If you buy them with coupons, the money you save can almost buy an expensive watch.
But the money saved from buying the watch with the coupon would have to be increased by at least 200 to be enough to buy the bicycle.
Even if you use your butt to think, you know which option to choose.
But he couldn't understand what the Fu family did. Could it be that the 'Wolong' bloodline was inherited from the same source?
"I bought it for a lot of money, just like your car, 350 yuan."
Before Li Xu could speak, Fu Qing continued to explain, "My parents used industrial coupons to buy a lot of things for this wedding, and the remaining coupons were just enough to buy a watch."
Li Xu was stunned.
That's a difference of two hundred dollars. Can you save that much money on the things you bought with the coupons?
You should know that not everything that can be bought with coupons can be purchased at a high price.
Upon hearing this question, Fu Qing shook his head without hesitation. "It won't save that much money, but it won't be much different. The key is that it's much more convenient this way. You don't have to go around asking people for tickets."
As soon as these words came out, Li Xu knew that the Fu family had calculated the cost and chose this approach just to save trouble.
So without saying anything more, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it over, "Here, this is the 120 yuan I mentioned before, keep it."
The Fu family gave him a bicycle as a thank you, but he was embarrassed to accept it for free and wanted to buy one with his own money.
Finally, I argued with Fu Qing for a long time before we decided on this amount.
The wedding will be held tomorrow after the payment is made, so the money has to be given to the other party. This is also the main purpose of Li Xu coming here tonight.
Hearing this, Fu Qing immediately became nervous, then ran to the door and stretched his head to look around. Seeing that none of his family members were nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he closed the door, returned to Li Xu, and said unhappily, "You suddenly did this and scared me. Couldn't you tell me quietly first and wait until I was sure there was no one outside?"
"When have you ever seen them eavesdropping on us? Come on, stop talking nonsense and hide the money."
"That's just in case." Fu Qing muttered softly. After taking the money, he walked straight to the wardrobe without even counting it, then opened the door, squatted down, and leaned inside with his butt sticking out.
Seeing him like this, Li Xu was very happy and immediately teased him, "Lao Fu, your action is like..."
He was interrupted mid-sentence when a man pushed open the door and walked in, shouting, "What are you two doing? Why are you talking in the room with the door closed?"
It's all over.
Aunt Fu came in.
The smile on Li Xu's face froze instantly, and he cursed in his heart, it was all because of Lao Fu's bad mouth.
On the other side, Fu Qing was so frightened after hearing his mother's voice that he dared not move and remained in his original posture.
Seeing that neither of them responded, and Fu Qing was still in this position, Aunt Fu became even more puzzled, "Second brother, what are you doing in the cabinet?"
Fu Qing acted as if he didn't hear anything and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Xu cursed inwardly again. He really failed at the critical moment. Then his brain started working rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he came up with an excuse, "Aunt Fu, he just showed off to me how beautiful his new clothes were, and I didn't believe it. I didn't expect him to be so angry that he had to show it to me."
Judging from how much importance the Fu family attaches to this wedding, they will definitely prepare new clothes for the newlyweds.
And he didn't know what was in the cabinet, so he could only take a gamble.
If the bet is right, everything will be fine.
If you don't bet right, then you can only hope for the best...
After hearing this explanation, Aunt Fu glanced at the two of them again. Without saying anything more, she stepped forward, grabbed Fu Qing's legs, pulled him out of the cabinet, and shouted, "Turn around."
Fu Qing was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly turned over on the ground. Facing Aunt Fu, he forced a smile that was uglier than crying and asked tremblingly, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Aunt Fu stared at him intently and said coldly, "What else? Are your new clothes in this closet?"
Oh no, I didn’t bet right.
Li Xu's face changed, and he thought secretly, Lao Fu, I have tried my best. Whether you can pass this level depends on your own performance.
If you don't get through it, don't blame me. Who told you not to say anything just now?
Faced with his mother's cold words, Fu Qing's brain finally came online.
He put on a dazed expression and asked, "Where is that?"
