Chapter 93: Advance Dowry

~7 min read 1,238 words

Xiao Xiao, just think of this as my father giving you the dowry early, and it'll be fine.

"What?" Lin Xiao Xiao blinked, her resolve slightly loosening.

"If it's the dowry from your father, then it's okay." The two sisters looked at each other and smiled in understanding.

What does that mean?

Did he say it was a dowry?

Xiao Ming looked at the two little girls, both laughing and crying, and pretended to be angry, glancing at his daughter.

"Dad, don't be angry, this is just a makeshift plan, a makeshift plan, hehe, only this way will Xiao Xiao be willing to accept the house we're giving her!"

Xiao Yuchun leaned close to Xiao Ming, speaking playfully and cutely: "Besides, Xiao Xiao is a top-notch beauty, you don't feel even a bit moved? Don't deny it, I don't believe you!"

Xiao Ming was utterly helpless, waving his hand: "Alright, alright, whatever you say it is, that's what it is."

He didn't want to get entangled with these two little girls, lest he cause trouble for himself later; he made an excuse and left the living room.

As for this dowry matter, he didn't take it seriously; the little girls just like to make a fuss, and once they've had their fun, they'll forget about it.

"Hehe!" Xiao Yuchun happily returned to Lin Xiao Xiao's side, smiling as she said: "Sister, my father said this is indeed the dowry he's giving you in advance; are you really sure you don't want to accept it?"

Xiao Ming thought they were just joking, but he didn't expect the little girl to take it seriously.

"Mm-hmm, then I'll accept it." Lin Xiao Xiao's face turned red, she nodded, her eyes unable to hide surprise and emotion, plus a bashful look, the very picture of a shy newlywed.

"Your father is too wonderful." Lin Xiao Xiao said emotionally, this solved her biggest worry.

If it were Xiao Ming giving her the dowry, she wouldn't just not refuse; she'd be happy to accept it. This way, she and the Xiao family would have some connection, feeling that their relationship had suddenly gotten closer.

In short, she must secure Xiao Ming.

That way, she could not only have love, but also keep friendship forever.

Actually, Xiao Yuchun thought the same.

The two glanced at each other, understood each other's thoughts, and let out a snicker.

When friendship reaches a certain point, a single glance is enough to understand each other's thoughts; that's how Xiao Yuchun and Lin Xiao Xiao are.

"Okay, then Xiao Xiao, you pick a unit, see which one is more suitable. My father said, if you don't want to go to San Zhong, you can aim for a better school; first pick the house, and leave the school matter to him." Xiao Yuchun happily pulled Lin Xiao Xiao to start choosing a house.

Once we've chosen, we'll go transfer the title shortly.

"Good heavens, these houses are all top-notch; it's hard to choose!" Lin Xiao Xiao stopped refusing and began choosing seriously.

In her mind, if she took this house, she would become XiaoMo's woman.

"Wuu wuu wuu, so enviable."

The girls nearby all stared, eyes wide, but they could only feel envy and jealousy.

Soon, Lin Xiao Xiao stuck to her original intention and chose a three-bedroom, one-living-room unit at San Zhong; San Zhong is in An Jin, already a very good school, with nothing much to criticize.

After the transfer was completed and the family's household registration moved in, Lin Xiao Xiao's younger brother could then study at San Zhong.

"Yuchun, dear, thank you; I will always remember your kindness to me." Lin Xiao Xiao looked at the red book in her hand, her eyes reddening with emotion.

"I understand, I understand, I will always be your beloved woman, hehe." Xiao Yuchun nodded and laughed: "Then the dowry is yours, you belong to my father, you're a member of my Xiao family, haha!"

"That's a must." Lin Xiao Xiao said very seriously: "From now on I'll belong to Uncle; as a young woman I have nothing to repay, I can only offer myself."

Lin Xiao Xiao's face instantly reddened, she leaned close to Xiao Yuchun's ear and whispered: "From now on, you call him Ba Ba, and I'll call him Ba Ba too."

"Huh?" Xiao Yuchun looked at her, puzzled.

"Hehe, when I'm being a person, I call him Ba Ba." Lin Xiao Xiao chuckled.

Xiao Yuchun then understood, her face instantly flushing completely, she laughed and hugged Lin Xiao Xiao, scratching her: "Xiao Xiao, you're just a rascal."

The sisters nearby all saw this and each felt a strange thought arise.

Some felt envy, some jealousy, some were filled with regret.

If they had all been on good terms with Xiao Yuchun from the start, then today, when Xiao Yuchun gave the house, they would also have a share.

When giving away such an expensive house, they didn't even blink.

This is too envy-inducing; Xiao Yuchun's move will make many people jealous enough to lose sleep at night.

After they chose the house, everyone dispersed.

And Xiao Ming, after those girls dispersed, also sent someone, went with Xiao Yuchun and Lin Xiao Xiao to complete the house transfer.

When she saw her name written on the property certificate, Lin Xiao Xiao was so happy her eyes turned red, she held back tears and embraced Xiao Yuchun.

"Hehe, this way you truly are a destined member of my Xiao family." Xiao Yuchun said happily.

Using a school district house, she hooked her best friend up with her father; that's quite a bargain.

After finishing the transfer, it was already late, so the two each went back to their own homes.

Lin Xiao Xiao's parents are ordinary people, with average family conditions; both parents have retired, each receiving over twenty thousand a month in pension, which they must use to support her younger brother's schooling.

They have a house, but it's small and also remote.

If they sold it, the price would increase by eight or nine hundred thousand, but the gap to buying a school district house is still vast.

In a few more months, Lin Xiao Xiao's younger brother will be moving from primary to middle school; the matter of buying a house has recently left the family frazzled.

Today, Lin Xiao Xiao returned home, carrying the property certificate on her back, with a mysterious smile, she approached her parents: "Dad, Mom, today I've settled your top priority."

Lin Xiao Xiao said emotionally: "Our family now has a house in the San Zhong school district."

"Xiao Xiao, don't tease your parents like that; we two are practically fed up with this." After her parents finished speaking, Lin Xiao Xiao suddenly produced the property certificate from behind her.

Lin Xiao Xiao's parents were instantly dumbfounded, as if hit with a paralysis spell, they stared blankly at the property certificate in her hand, unable to react.

After a minute, the two elders finally snapped out of their shock, took the property certificate and saw—sure enough—it was their daughter's name.

The two elders hurriedly asked what was going on.

After Lin Xiao Xiao explained the whole story to her parents, both elders were moved.

"I never expected Yuchun to directly give you a house, and moreover the best one in the school district." Lin Xiao Xiao's father said, his voice excited.
