Chapter 1587: Daydreaming About Pretty Things All Day Long

~4 min read 665 words

Xia Qiu also glared at her own younger sister: "Didn't you just pester Mom to make you new clothes recently? Stop causing trouble."

Chunxiao pouted: "But I want a skirt like this."

Xiao Mu, busy with her work: "Back in the village, you went years without a single new outfit and didn't feel wronged. Since coming to the city, how many have you had made? Why isn't it enough yet?"

Hearing this, Chunxiao said: "Then why don't you mention my eldest and second sisters? Didn't they get new clothes too?"

Chuxue, feeling annoyed: "When you start earning your own money, you can have as many made as you want without anyone stopping you. Stop dragging us into this."

Chunxiao, not knowing which wire was crossed: "You aren't working either right now."

Fu Yan Cheng, holding Lebao over: "Your second sister isn't working, but she has me. What's mine is hers."

Seeing her second son-in-law displeased, Xiao Mu turned to Chunxiao: "Your eldest sister has a job now, and your second sister has her husband. How can you compare to them?"

Chunxiao, hearing this and refusing to back down: "But I'm still Dad's daughter too."

Xiao Mu glanced at her sideways: "Why don't you say that Dad supports the whole family alone? How could everything possibly go your way? You just dream up pretty things all day long."

Seeing no one answer her, Chunxiao turned and looked at Chuxue with a face full of grievance.

Chuxue ignored her completely; she didn't lack that bit of money or coupons, but Chunxiao wasn't worth her effort.

In that short while, Xiao Fu also entered the courtyard.

Seeing the atmosphere was off: "What's going on?"

Qiu Shaofeng, currently giving his son a piggyback ride, and Fu Yan Cheng, holding Lebao, exchanged a glance and turned together to enter the main hall.

Chuxue pulled over the somewhat uncomfortable Duhuan: "Come look at this style. If you like it, I'll find time to make one for you."

Duhuan stammered: "Second cousin, maybe..."

Before she could finish, Chuxue cut her off: "Don't worry about the others. Today we gathered here mainly for your sake."

Xia Qiu also came over and pulled her: "Don't mind her. She just has a child's temper."

Seeing her two sisters pull their cousin into the main hall, Chunxiao was truly angry now: "Dad, look at them."

Xiao Fu, seeing everyone's expressions, knew it was definitely his youngest daughter causing trouble again: "Just calm down."

Chunxiao got even angrier: "Dad, am I not your daughter?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fu actually laughed: "If you want to be someone else's daughter, I'm afraid no one would dare agree."

Chunxiao, not knowing what she was thinking, grabbed Xiao Fu's arm and started shaking it: "Dad, my second sister designed a skirt for cousin Duhuan. I want one of the same style too."

Xiao Fu finally understood: "The fabric coupons the family saved up before were used to make you clothes. Even if you want a skirt, there are no coupons left."

Chunxiao, refusing to give up: "Dad, can't you think of a way?"

Xiao Fu didn't dare make rash promises; after all, his wife had only wanted to make their daughter a pair of pants, and it was him speaking up that got her a full outfit.

Because of that, Shi Tou had to alter his old clothes to make two outfits. If he helped her again, he probably wouldn't be able to come back inside the house.

Just as he was thinking of an escape, Chuxue walked out: "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Mu put down her work: "Chunxiao, go watch the pot."

Chunxiao, though unwilling, didn't dare disobey her own mother: "Got it."

Seeing the whole family enter the main hall, she turned to look at Auntie Wei, who was pushing a cart and teasing the child, and was surprisingly polite this time: "Auntie Wei, could you help me watch the pot on the stove?"
