Chapter 120 Visiting Bai Xiuxiu
Song Lan hesitated.
"Since you have made up your mind to marry her, she is my future sister-in-law, so it is only right for me, your sister, to go and see her."
"You still understand me. My parents don't like Xiuxiu." Song Lan was touched.
Song Ci suppressed the urge to curse. How could her parents look down on her? They were all born into hardship, so no one looked down on her. It was just that a girl, having only known a man for a short time, was already asking for everything and even getting married secretly. Was this something a normal girl would do?
That’s why my parents are worried!
Song Lan felt happy in his heart. Finally, there was someone in his family who understood him! His love for this sister was not in vain.
Since the beginning of winter, the snow has stopped, but the road has been wet and cold and difficult to walk on. Song Lan and Song Ci went together in a carriage.
Song Ci deliberately did not use his usual carriage, but instead found a somewhat old and dusty carriage to ride in.
"Sister, isn't this carriage a little too simple?"
Song Ci smiled and said, "A carriage is just a tool. There's no need to pay attention to luxury and pomp. Besides, brother and Xiuxiu are truly in love, so why would they care about such things?"
It wasn't that he was afraid that Bai Xiu Xiu would despise him, but Bai Xiu Xiu said that her family had always been looked down upon and despised by people living there. If he rode in a gorgeous carriage and was seen by the neighbors, they would probably treat Xiu Xiu better.
But what his sister said was right. When he marries Xiuxiu in the future, he will definitely treat her well. Xiuxiu doesn't need to care about anyone's mood.
The wheels of the carriage moved forward on the slippery ground. The driver did not dare to drive too fast, but when the two arrived, it was almost noon.
Bai family.
"Xiu Xiu is really amazing. If it weren't for this idiot on the list, how could our family have such an easy life?"
Bai's mother's face was filled with indescribable joy. In previous Chinese New Year holidays, the family could barely afford to eat and sleep. But now, the table was filled with all kinds of fruits and snacks, all thanks to her daughter.
Bai Xiuxiu looked proud: "Mom, this little thing is nothing. When I get married, our life will be different."
Father Bai rubbed his hands and said, "I, your father, have no other hope in this life except that you marry into a wealthy family. Our Bai family depends on you for our livelihood."
"Don't worry, Dad and Mom. Just wait and see. No matter what I say now, he won't dare to object." Bai Xiu Xiu snorted, feeling very proud.
Her eyes glanced at her sister, Bai Qingqing, who was hanging her head beside her. She curled her lips and sneered, "What are you doing here? Go cook, otherwise what are you going to eat for lunch."
Bai Qingqing was shocked by her sudden attack.
"Just go if I tell you to. Your sister will be hungry later. Do you want her to starve to death? Your food and lodging now are all paid for by your sister."
Bai's mother was angry at her honest and average-looking eldest daughter, and her tone was very impatient.
"Mom, what are we having for lunch?"
Father Bai: "What to eat? Can't you use your pig brain to think? Why are you asking? Make something your sister likes. Get out of here and don't be an eyesore."
"Okay, okay, I'll go cook." Bai Qingqing crawled out of the house. It was raining and snowing outside. She was only wearing a tattered cotton jacket and her whole body was cold. She had to soak her hands in cold water to cook.
Thinking of this, she looked at her hands covered with chilblains, with resentment that could not be hidden in her eyes.
....
"Is that so?" Song Ci lifted the curtain and confirmed with Song Lan.
Song Lan took a look. This was his second time coming back, so he wasn't sure, but he thought it should be here.
"Wanxiang, take the things I prepared and get off the carriage."
Wanxiang: “Hey!”
After getting off the carriage, they knocked on the door. They came early without saying hello. Song Lan wanted to say hello, but Song Ci didn't give him the chance. They would only visit during the New Year, just as a surprise. Bai Xiuxiu would definitely be happy.
Song Lan was skeptical, but agreed.
"Who is it? It's New Year's Day, someone has died, why are you knocking so urgently..." Bai's mother opened the door and the words came to her lips.
"Hello, I am Song Lan's sister. I came to visit you today." Song Ci smiled as if she didn't hear the scolding just now, and was very kind.
Song Lan frowned, thinking of what Bai Xiu Xiu said, that her parents were sick and frail, and were both honest people. They scolded her and her sister before even opening the door. Is that really the case?
Then he found another excuse for himself. After all, he was just an ordinary person. If he wasn't a little rude and unruly, how could he survive?
When I entered the house, I heard the sound of cutting vegetables coming from the kitchen.
Bai's mother hurried in and called Bai Xiu Xiu out.
Bai Xiu Xiu didn't know what was going on. When she saw Song Lan, her face was a little panicked.
"You, why are you here without telling me in advance?"
Seeing Bai Xiu Xiu, Song Lan was so happy that he didn't notice the complaint in the other person's tone at all.
"I thought it was New Year's Eve, so I came to visit your parents. Look, my sister is here too."
Bai Xiu Xiu noticed Song Ci when she walked in and stood there just now. Song Ci's appearance was really outstanding. She stood there gracefully. Her clothes were made of good fabric and were obviously new. She also wore an exquisite hairpin on her head. Every one of them was enough to make Bai Xiu Xiu jealous to the point of vomiting blood.
Her eyes turned, "So you are Song Lan's sister. My name is Bai Xiu Xiu."
She took in the jealousy and scrutiny in the other person's eyes and smiled, "Hello, Sister Xiuxiu, my name is Song Ci. I heard that you take good care of my brother, and I'm very grateful to you."
There was a smile in Bai Xiu Xiu's eyes, but her gaze was fixed on what Wan Xiang was holding in her hand.
The Song family looks respectable, and it seems that just as that family said, they are really wealthy. If I marry into their family, I will definitely live a good life.
"Thank you?" Bai Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Song Lan had a high fever that day and fainted when he went out. I passed by and saved him."
Hearing the other party say it bluntly, Song Ci further confirmed his guess.
This Bai Xiu Xiu is not a simple person. How could her good brother have provoked such a person?
"Wanxiang, take out the things I prepared."
Wanxiang, "Okay, Miss."
She handed the thing to Bai Xiu Xiu. Bai's mother and father were standing behind her, looking at the box with anticipation.
Such a big box must contain a lot of valuable things!
Bai Xiuxiu uncovered it and said in a sharp voice, "Why are these things here?"
"These are various cakes and fruits given as gifts during the New Year. Ordinary relatives also give these." Song Ci looked innocent.
Song Lan was a little confused, so he continued, "Since Sister Xiuxiu is planning to be with my brother, our two families are officially acquainted. I won't be polite. Although these things are not valuable, they were all gifts from close relatives."
"Yes, Xiuxiu. My sister approves of you, so she gave you these things."
