"Huh?" Aunt Fu was stunned, then bent down, trying to use the dim light to carefully observe his expression. "You really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Fu Qing still insisted on what he said just now, because he knew that he could not change his words. If he changed his words and was asked about the 120 yuan, tomorrow's wedding banquet might be changed into a funeral banquet.
"You put the clothes there yourself, how could you not know?"
Fu Qing scratched his head and pretended to be innocent, "I forgot."
Seeing his good brother trying to save himself, Li Xu felt the need to lend a hand, so he said, "Aunt Fu, is it because he was too nervous that he couldn't remember it?"
"Yes, yes, I'm just too nervous. This is the first time I'm getting married in my life. I feel nervous just thinking about it." Fu Qing agreed repeatedly.
After hearing what the two said, Aunt Fu pondered for a moment, then stood up straight and kicked Fu Qing, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Stand up."
Fu Qing stood up quickly and patted his butt twice, "Why did you ask me to get up?"
"Go stand aside." After scolding her, Aunt Fu sneered, "I'm already so old, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and you can't fool me with just this little trick?
You two guys must be up to something, tell me quickly and I'll let you go, but if you don't, I'll investigate it myself, and when I find out, you'll be in big trouble, Second Brother."
In fact, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
But then I thought, now that the two of them are hiding this from me, something must have happened.
Besides, tomorrow is a big wedding day for our family. What should we do if something happens to Li Xu and the other one?
Although the two have become much calmer in the past two years, thinking about what they did before makes them tremble.
So she felt that she had to figure this out.
Li Xu had done her family a favor, so it was difficult for her to control him. She could only threaten her son.
Fu Qing stood there without moving, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Aunt Fu was so angry that she kicked him directly. "Why, do you think you are getting married soon, so you are too independent and don't take my words seriously?"
Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, Li Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Aunt Fu, I can tell you the truth, but I hope you won't be angry."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Qing, who had just been kicked, turned pale. He didn't even care to cry out in pain, and quickly shouted, "Lao Li, you can't say it."
"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up, believe it or not?"
Aunt Fu was not very nice to her own son, but she had to smile to Li Xu. "Xiao Xu, tell me, I promise you that I will never be angry."
"I came here to give him a gift, but the amount is quite large, so he doesn't want you to know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qing rushed over, crying bitterly, "Old Li, why did you tell me that? Are you going to let me live?"
Aunt Fu, understanding her son, knew that what Li Xu said must be true, so she tried to pull Fu Qing away while continuing to ask, "How big is it?"
Seeing Fu Qing hanging on him and refusing to let go, Li Xu sighed to himself, what a sin, then quietly reached out a hand and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and when he looked at him, he gave him a look.
Regardless of whether he understood or not, he said, "Twenty dollars."
Hearing this, Fu Qing couldn't help but stop crying for a moment, but fortunately she quickly reacted and resumed crying, and even cooperated, "Old Li, you are trying to kill me! If my parents knew that I accepted such a big gift from you, they would beat me to death."
At this moment, he was secretly delighted. Old Li was smart and could come up with a solution so quickly.
Since you can't avoid it, just downplay the matter. Then there won't be any problem.
Aunt Fu was immediately shocked and didn't even bother to pull Fu Qing anymore. "Xiao Xu, why did you give so much?"
Li Xu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "You and Uncle Fu gave me a bicycle before. I feel a little guilty about it, so I wanted to take this opportunity to give you a bigger gift. Please don't blame Fu Qing. I forced him to accept it."
Aunt Fu couldn't help but believe what she said, so she pretended to blame him, "You kid, you've done such a great favor to our family. It's just a bicycle, what's there to feel guilty about?"
"Aunt Fu, I know how much I've done, and that gift is too big."
"Xiao Xu, I'm telling you one last time, you deserve that gift. If you still recognize me and your Uncle Fu, don't mention this matter anymore, and don't even think about compensating our family."
Then Aunt Fu slapped Fu Qing on the back twice, "Pa, Pa," and cursed, "You little bastard, you dare to take any money? Hurry and give it back to Xiaoxu."
The two blows were quite powerful, causing Fu Qing to sniffle back the mucus in pain. She then wiped her tears with her sleeve and said in a wronged tone, "Mom, he wanted to give me three hundred yuan before, but I refused. He forced me to take these twenty yuan, saying that if I didn't accept it, he would no longer recognize me as his friend. What can I do?"
"You should have told us that we were going to look for Xiaoxu."
After she finished speaking, seeing that he didn't move, Aunt Fu said unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go get it?"
Seeing Fu Qing squatting down again and getting into the cabinet with his butt sticking out, Li Xu quickly covered for him, "Aunt Fu, why don't you just forget it? You've already taken it. If you take it back, what kind of person will I be if the news gets out?"
Aunt Fu turned her head and looked at him, saying earnestly, "Xiao Xu, we're the only ones who know about this. Don't worry, it won't be spread out. Besides, even if outsiders do find out, no one will say anything bad about you. They'll just say we didn't have the guts to accept the money."
Li Xu scratched his head, "But I think..."
"No buts." Aunt Fu interrupted him.
Li Xu hesitated to speak, and after a few times, he showed a helpless expression, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Aunt Fu laughed immediately, "That's right."
At this time, Fu Qing came out from the cabinet and handed the twenty yuan in his hand to Li Xu, "Here you go."
Seeing Li Xu stuffing the money into his pocket, Aunt Fu warned Fu Qing again, "I'll let you go this time, but if I find out you still dare to take Xiao Xu's money, I'll show you how I'll punish you."
"I see." Fu Qing replied sullenly, then asked, "Did you come into the house to talk to us about something?"
"It's okay. I was planning to go to the kitchen to get something, but I saw your door was closed, so I thought of coming over to take a look."

Li Xu: ...
What bad luck! Why did you close the door?
