Chapter 247 Father An buys clothes for Aunt Xiu and says he wants to make a big purchase
After selling lunch boxes, An's father and Aunt Xiu were riding their bikes back when they saw a pink, particularly cute suitcase and called out to An's father.
"Brother, do you think this box looks good? Will Nuannuan like it?"
An's father also saw it, and it was really sad. Other families' daughters were either dressed up beautifully or were cute, but his Nuannuan was the only one who was wearing nothing but school uniform.
He didn't know much about girls' hair accessories. When Wu Qingqing bought some for her before, there was no pink one. She said that girls shouldn't dress too beautifully when they are outside because there are a lot of bad people around them.
The only pink sweatshirt Nuannuan has ever owned in her life was the one she asked for.
The shoes are white, the hairpin is colorless, and there is a high ponytail. The youthful spirit has become old-fashioned.
"She will definitely like it, but sister, you can't pay for it. Look, you've been buying things for Nuannuan these days. Don't buy things for her all the time. You should buy something for yourself."
Zhu Xiu Lian is very frugal. She only wears the same two sets of clothes she wore when she came here. Father An sometimes can't stand it, but he can't find a good reason to buy her a few pieces of clothes. He can only persuade her to buy them for herself.
Zhu Xiu Lian is no longer the nanny of the Zhu family. She eats well, drinks well, sleeps well, and is in a good mood. Her complexion is much better than before.
She smiled, "For me, buying them would be a waste. Nuannuan is in urgent need of these cute things. Brother, let me buy them. Without Nuannuan, I wouldn't have the freedom I have now."
"She's going abroad to study soon, so she needs everything. We may be poor, but we can't be stingy. We can't let Nuannuan suffer any loss. But..." Zhu Xiulian looked at the discounted items in this shop, then at the items in the brand-name store across the street, and frowned, "Is this discounted suitcase not good enough for Nuannuan?"
Father An frowned. Yes, it was good for them to give Nuannuan, but this good thing was only what they could afford, and they couldn’t give what they couldn’t afford.
"Oh, look at me, I'm always saying depressing things. Nuannuan definitely won't mind, but what about those classmates who are studying abroad? Brother, how about..."
"Shall we go to the shopping mall across the street?" Father An interrupted Zhu Xiu Lian.
"Sister, I think what you said makes sense. We shouldn't let Nuannuan suffer any loss. She graduated from high school and went abroad to study. Studying abroad is completely different from being at home."
"It's just right. Besides picking out a few clothes for her, you can buy a few too. I'll pay for it, and we'll get the good ones." Nuannuan said that he didn't need to spend a penny on going abroad, but he couldn't spend nothing either.
Mr. Mu is such a righteous boss, he cannot lose his reputation.
Even if he couldn't afford luxury goods, he could at least afford a few thousand yuan. At worst, he could just tighten his belt. As long as Nuannuan could go abroad in a decent manner, he would have earned a lot.
Zhu Xiulian was shocked, "I'll just forget it, brother..."
"Don't refuse. We're buying it anyway. This month..." An Jinfu didn't say he wouldn't pay for Wu Qingqing anymore. He had saved quite a bit. Nuan Nuan was right. Why would he support others with such money? "The income from the lunch boxes is quite a bit from my work, and it's not like we're extravagant every month. I'll just send Nuan Nuan to study abroad this month. As you said, we are poor, but we can't be too stingy."
"Come on, sister, let's go buy some new clothes and get a suit made. Nuannuan is going abroad to study, and as a father, I'm not going to have a wedding banquet? I'm not going to see her off on the plane." The more An's father talked, the more he felt that his daughter's study abroad was a big event. "Oh, we have to book a hotel in advance and notify the neighbors for a wedding banquet. I can finally get back some of the money I've given as gifts over the years."
"Sister, let's plan carefully and give Nuannuan a surprise, how about that?"
Zhu Xiulian nodded vigorously. "Yes, we should make a big deal about it. Let the neighbors who watched Nuannuan grow up know, brother, you raised a good daughter."
Father An was very proud and rode his electric tricycle to the store opposite. He first estimated the price to see if he could book a decent hotel after deducting necessary expenses.
When they first arrived at the store, they were afraid that the clerks in the brand store would look down on their clothes and think they were selling boxed lunches. Fortunately, they were confident in themselves and did not encounter any clerks who looked at people through the crack of the door. However, when An's father bought clothes for Nuannuan and Aunt Xiu, he was still stopped.
A call came in from an unfamiliar phone number.
Father An hesitated, his eyes twitching for unknown reasons. Zhu Xiulian looked at him, "Brother, what's wrong?"
An's father couldn't tell whether he was nervous because it was his first time shopping in a brand store, or if something happened that made him feel palpitations. "Nothing, sister, hurry up and choose. I'll take the phone first."
Zhu Xiu Lian didn't think much about it, and An's father took out his cell phone, answered the call and asked who it was, and then hung up again.
He was stunned for a moment, maybe he had dialed the wrong number.
So, he didn't care anymore. If there was anything, he would definitely call again. These days, sales calls are more frequent than calls from family members.
Father An didn't know that this strange number was Wu Qingqing's call for help - she was in trouble.
