Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Bizarre Yin and Yang
Accountant Xu was so angry he could hardly sit still, as everyone in the family stood together against him, “Fine, you all are so capable, and my words mean nothing now.
I raised you all just for you to anger me like this? Had I known you’d all be ingrates, why would I have bothered?”
Accountant Xu finished speaking, clutching his chest with a look of utter heartbreak, “Before your mother had a job, I alone bore the pressure of supporting the family, and it wasn’t easy to raise you all.
This is how you repay me? I, Xu Ren Guo, must have committed some terrible sins to give birth to children who only know how to anger me.”
Mother Qiuye, seeing him like this, appeared flustered and felt somewhat sorry for him, “Old Xu, the kids and I didn’t mean to upset you.
Wenbing is also right; if the two kids like each other, why should we as adults keep interfering? Moreover, I think Shengcai is a decent kid.
...
Since you’ve agreed, just give him a year to pass the exam and become a teacher in the county, you should keep your word. It’s not been long since this year started, and you’re already letting Qiuye go on blind dates.
If Shengcai finds out, think about how hurt he’d feel.”
Xu Wenbing nodded in agreement, “Dad, since you’ve promised, you should follow through. Remember you initially agreed that if Brother Shengcai passed the teacher’s exam, he could date my sister, and you did let them.
Now that you’ve halfway done it, why backtrack at the end? When Brother Shengcai really becomes a teacher in the county, not only would his salary double, but he could also look after you and mom in the county.
Then you wouldn’t have to worry about my sister having a hard life. And if he doesn’t pass, my sister is beautiful and has a good job; is there any fear she can’t find someone?”
When Accountant Xu heard this, he was very pleased inside; indeed, his daughter was outstanding.
Especially since the conditions at the Qiu family were better, that boy works in a transport team and is a permanent worker.
Nowadays, being a driver is the most respectable and lucrative job.
Traveling north to south, he’s seen a lot; that’s something to boast about.
Moreover, that family has only one boy; eventually, all the money his mother earns will belong to his daughter.
Not like Xu Shengcai’s family, pampering their daughter as a treasure is one thing, but they have three sons. Not to mention the uneven distribution among them, just Xu Shengcai’s mother’s character alone already ensures his daughter would be mistreated once married there.
Not the same with Qiu’s family, whose mother is a worker with naturally good temperament, not someone rash like Xu Shengcai’s mother.@@@@
When the time comes, there won’t be any sibling rivalry, nor fear of the mother-in-law favoring anyone.
He had thought through all these before letting his daughter go on blind dates.
Xu Ying, looking at the hairpin in her hand, immediately wore it on her head.
“Mom, does it look good?”
Seeing her daughter with the hairpin, Mrs. Xu’s face beamed with a continuous smile, “My daughter looks really beautiful with this hairpin. Wait until your Third Brother comes back.
I’ll ask him to buy you a new dress and some little leather shoes.”
Xu Ying had two pairs of leather shoes, one bought by Third Brother Xu and the other by Mrs. Xu. Nowadays, leather shoes were very expensive, and most families couldn’t afford them.
Previously, Xu Ying had worn her leather shoes almost every day in pursuit of Dong Wenzhong, but ever since she started working at the restaurant, she hadn’t worn them once.
“Daughter, you rest tomorrow. Wear your little leather shoes and dress, and I’ll take you out,” Mrs. Xu said upon seeing her daughter.
Her favorite thing was to see her daughter dressed up beautifully in a dress, going out, which gave her a sense of pride.
Xu Ying also wanted to go out. She was tired of wearing somber clothes and bustling about in the kitchen all day.
Hearing her mother’s words, her eyes sparkled as she agreed, “Then mom, I’m going to sleep now. Tomorrow, we both will dress up nicely and go out.”
Mrs. Xu’s eyes widened with excitement, nodding her head and lovingly touching the new clothes.
Xu Ying woke up naturally the next day, finally able to sleep in as she didn’t have to work.
When she woke up, except for Mrs. Xu and her two nephews, all the other Xu family members had gone to work.
Shitou and Hu Zi, seeing their little aunt wake up, ran over excitedly, “Little aunt, you’re awake.”
“I’ll go serve you some food.”
“Little aunt, wash up.”
Xu Ying pinched Hu Zi’s chubby cheeks; the little guy had gained quite a bit of weight recently, his cheeks soft and plump, which Xu Ying loved to pinch.
“Hu Zi is such a good boy!”
After washing her face, Shitou had already served the food on the table—mixed grain buns, rice porridge, and scrambled eggs.
Mrs. Xu had already gone out for a walk early in the morning in her new clothes, and now she was back to see her daughter having breakfast.
In a very good mood, she asked, “Why haven’t you changed clothes yet?”
