Chapter 72: Wedding House for Nephew

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Jiangxi’s meaning was obvious. “My family is having a hard time. It’s not good at all. I don’t have money for you!”

Xu Qing leaned against the door frame and cheered inside! Indeed, she was right to let Xu Jiangxi read more books during this period of time. His values immediately changed. He also understood that filial piety wasn’t advisable. Even his words had become tactful.

Old Master Xu was so angry that he almost choked. When did his dim-witted third son become so good at mocking people?

Old Master Xu’s expression darkened as he tapped his tobacco pipe. “I know it’s not easy for you, but it’s not easy for anyone in this world. Your eldest nephew, Xu Nai, is already in his twenties. We can’t delay his marriage. We asked a matchmaker to find a girl in town. He liked her, so the marriage was about to be arranged, but the other party suddenly asked for a new house. You know that our family still has to provide for the two children’s studies. We really don’t have the spare money to build a house. As an uncle, you can’t just watch and not do anything. Besides, your family’s new house is also empty. Take out a room for your eldest nephew to use. He will be able to get married!”

Xu Qing’s expression instantly darkened. She wiped her hand and looked to the side at Xu Nai, who had a matter-of-fact expression on his face. Xu Qing suppressed her anger. This family was really refreshing her understanding every day. The greed on their faces was disgusting!

!!

Needless to say, as long as they agreed this time, this family would take advantage of them and occupy her house as a matter of course before chasing them out! How could Xu Qing let this family have their way?!

Xu Jiangxi stared at his father in shock. He had never expected his father to say such a thing. Not to mention that they had already split up, he wasn’t Xu Nai’s father!

Qu Feng, who was at the side, was also trembling with anger. This family was really too much!

“Alright, stop dawdling. Hurry up and go in to choose a room for your eldest nephew. You have so many empty rooms. Giving your eldest nephew a room won’t kill you!” Chen Qiulian was happy at the thought that this new house would soon be theirs.

Xu Nai stood beside Chen Qiulian and said arrogantly, “I’m the eldest grandson of the family. I should have the best things.”

Xu Jiangzhong and Xu Yunqiao couldn’t help but look at Xu Nai. Who did he think he was? He was still studying, and Xu Yunqiao was a daughter they got at old age. Everyone said that she was born to have a rich and noble life…

Xu Qing didn’t know how to react to the Xu family’s matter-of-factness. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Jiangxi said, “Father, I’m only Xu Nai’s third uncle, not his father. His parents are still alive. It’s not my duty to give him a house, right?”

These words made Old Master Xu’s face turn red. Indeed, there was no reason for him to do so. However, he coughed and said, “That’s the logic, but we’re family. Now, your eldest nephew is just short of a bridal chamber. If this engagement ends because of this, what will others think of you? If you have the ability, why won’t you help? Just borrow it temporarily.”

As for whether they would return it, that was another matter.

Xu Qing laughed. “Since she chose a farmer, she should know that farmers don’t have the money to build a new house. Now, she wants a new house? Then I don’t understand why she chose a farmer.”

Xu Jiangdong glared at Xu Qing. “Of course it’s because she likes your brother! Besides, the people in town are all rich. It’s normal for a girl to want a new house!”

Xu Qing smiled again and said, “You’re right. It’s just that you have the money to raise a widow but don’t have the money to build a new house for your son?”

When Qu Feng heard this, she quickly pulled her daughter back. “Xiao Qing!” This wasn’t a good thing. Moreover, if Xu Qing, who got pregnant before marriage, was exposed, others would only gossip about her!

“You’re just a little girl, so what nonsense are you talking about!” Xu Jiangdong immediately shouted, but he also felt wary and didn’t understand why Xu Qing would suddenly say this.

Xu Qing glanced at Xu Jiangdong. She didn’t want Qu Feng to worry, so she shut up.

However, Xu Qing’s words made Mo Qiu suspicious. As for what would happen next, that was a matter for another time.

“Little Qing, don’t talk nonsense.” Old Master Xu didn’t want his family to fall out again. Then, he looked at Xu Jiangxi and said, “Just tell me if it’s okay.”

Xu Jiangxi said weakly, “No! Father, I can’t make this decision.”

“Why can’t you decide?!” Chen Qiulian’s expression immediately changed.
