Chapter 325: Our Goals Are the Same
As soon as they left, the old women in Qiu Tai Nai's room began to gossip: "Your Shaofeng's luck is unmatched. When he was looking for a partner, the Liu family's conditions weren't great, but in just over half a year, his in-laws have risen up."
"That's true. You probably don't know that Shaofeng's in-laws later added fifty yuan to Xia Qiu's dowry, and today, for the banquet expenses, Xia Qiu even lent forty yuan."
"Really?"
"Money aside, in just over a month, Xia Qiu's younger sister has come several times, and every time she comes, she doesn't come empty-handed."
"I heard your family is dividing the household in a few days?"
"Who told you that?"
"Just say whether it is or not."
"Yes, Laifeng and Laichang are already grandfathers and grandfathers-in-law; it's not good to keep stirring the same pot. This old woman of mine should rest a bit."
"That is indeed the logic."
As they spoke, someone in the yard shouted: "It's getting late, the wedding procession should prepare to set off immediately."
Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu began to greet people in the yard: "Yes, yes, yes. Although the two families aren't too far apart, we'll still lose some time once we get there, so it's better to leave early."
Just then, a jeep stopped outside the Qiu family's main gate.
Everyone curiously gathered around: "Shaofeng's mother, your family has a relative visiting."
Fu Yan Cheng got out of the car, and Qiu Shaofeng smiled and went to meet him: "Did you come looking for Chuxue?"
Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Yes. When I arrived home, I learned from the villagers that they had come here for the wedding, so I thought I'd come over to share in the joy."
Qiu Shaofeng smiled: "Chuxue is inside; I'll take you to her."
Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu also walked over at that moment.
Qiu Shaofeng quickly introduced them: "These are my father and mother."
Then he added: "Father, Mother, this is Fu Yan Cheng, the one who drove us back that day, my sister-in-law Chuxue's fiancé."
Fu Yan Cheng nodded to them: "Uncle, Auntie, hello."
Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu's faces were full of smiles: "Hurry inside and sit."
At that moment, someone said: "Shaofeng's mother, arriving early isn't as good as arriving at the right time. Your Shaofeng is about to go fetch the bride; having this car take him would be quite the show, wouldn't it?"
Hearing this, Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu were naturally willing in their hearts, but the car was so precious they felt too shy to ask.
At this, Qiu Shaofeng replied: "Auntie, we're both at the North Suburb Farm, so it's not far at all. There's no need for a car to fetch them; you all should just settle down."
Fu Yan Cheng glanced at Qiu Shaofeng: "If it's needed, it can certainly be done."
Upon learning that Chuxue's family had come to the North Suburb Farm for the wedding banquet, he had already made up his mind in his heart; after all, Chuxue had said she would be a pillar of support for her older sister and younger sister, so he would start now.
It was just a matter of pressing the accelerator; by helping them save face today, the Qiu family would be able to show some consideration for Xia Qiu in the future.
Hearing Fu Yan Cheng's words, Qiu Mu looked expectantly at her eldest son: "Shaofeng."
If they could really use this jeep to fetch the bride, that would be the best of all.
Fu Yan Cheng looked at Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu: "Xia Qiu is my future sister-in-law; of course I must grant this favor. I'll go in and tell Chuxue, and then we'll set off."
Qiu Mu pushed her eldest son: "Hurry and lead the way."
Chuxue had naturally heard the commotion outside and came out as well: "Why have you come?"
"I'm on leave today. When I reached the village, I learned you were having the wedding banquet at the farm, so I chased after you."
She had naturally heard what Fu Yan Cheng just said; knowing the wedding procession was about to leave, she winked at him and said: "Thank you."
Fu Yan Cheng leaned close to Chuxue's ear: "Our goals are the same: to back up our sister."
