Chapter 1303: Then What If I Don't Agree?

~4 min read 713 words

Liu Chuxue did not know that the orders from the Canton Fair would have follow-ups.

She was now whispering to Duan Ruirui at the dinner table: "Have you received any letters from Kunlan recently? Is she about to give birth?"

"I haven't received any for a while. I just sent her a letter a few days ago, telling her about my wedding."

At this moment, the eldest sister-in-law, Jiang Limin, looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, counting the days, in a few more days, the third sister-in-law is likely to give birth too. Shouldn't we also send some things for the baby over there?"

Zhang Haitang did not expect the eldest daughter-in-law to think of these things: "We should prepare some things to send over. See if we can find someone to get some cotton, then make some swaddling clothes and thick children's clothes to send over. It is simply too cold in the Northeast."

Seeing that everyone had eaten enough, Elder Xiao spoke up: "Tomorrow we will return to the ancestral land. We will come back to Beijing after Wanpeng gets married."

Xiao Changjiang heard this and said: "Dad, it won't be much longer. Why don't you wait until Wanpeng finishes his wedding before you go back?"

Elder Xiao waved his hand: "Anyway, it isn't too far away. Returning to live there will be peaceful."

Miao Yiqiu knew him best and naturally understood why he insisted on going back: "Don't try to persuade him. Just let him have his way."

After she said this, Xiao Changjiang also thought of something and didn't dare to say anything more.

Liu Chuxue looked up at the expressions of the few people and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Fate truly plays tricks on people. Grandfather is indeed a deeply affectionate soul. Most importantly, Great-Aunt doesn't get jealous; she even helps Grandfather.

What they didn't know was that every day at the ancestral land, the old man would stroll over to his late wife's grave, sit there for a while, and chat with the tombstone for a while.

After the meal, everyone helped tidy up before preparing to leave.

Chunxiao, who had caused no trouble all night, now approached Liu Chuxue: "Second Sister, can you ask Brother-in-law to help me find a few sets of old military uniforms?"

Liu Chuxue looked at her coldly: "What do you need these for?"

Chunxiao coughed lightly: "The school has a performance."

Liu Chuxue did not refuse: "How many sets is 'a few sets'? Besides, are you sure you can wear your brother-in-law's old military uniforms?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue say this, Chunxiao quickly replied: "I'll ask Big Sister to sew the hems inside at that time."

Liu Chuxue frowned: "Is it for the program you are performing in?"

Chunxiao's eyes dimmed: "No, I'm borrowing them for a classmate."

Liu Chuxue didn't know what to say: If she called her selfish, the girl was being selfless, borrowing for a classmate and for the class. If she called her selfless, she was asking Second Sister to borrow clothes for her and asking Big Sister to alter them. She truly didn't know what to say about her.

Finally, she couldn't hold back: "So you mean you are borrowing for a classmate, and you also want Big Sister to alter the clothes for you?"

Chunxiao feared Second Sister wouldn't help: "Second Sister, we only need nine sets of clothes. If Brother-in-law can help us borrow the right sizes, then we won't have to trouble Big Sister to alter them later."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue felt even more uncomfortable: "Then what if I don't agree?"

Chunxiao panicked: "Second Sister, I haven't asked for much. This is just a matter of Brother-in-law opening his mouth. You wouldn't refuse to help with such a small thing, would you?"

Fu Yan Cheng, who had heard the sisters' conversation from not far away, saw everyone looking over and hurried forward a few steps: "Talking to your Second Sister about this is useless. Borrowing nine sets of clothes is possible, but you must guarantee they will be returned in perfect condition. Besides, since others are going to wear them, let them alter them themselves. Big Sister has to work and take care of Junjun; where would she find the time?"
