The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

When Fang Xiaohui arrived, it was sudden; she walked straight through the door.

She overheard the couple's conversation.

"Talk to Old Professor Zhang again about this house of his father's. See if you can get it for 1000 yuan less. If we can buy it for 7000 yuan, we will. I reckon that, after tidying up the house and getting some furniture and appliances ready, it'll cost at least eight to nine thousand yuan in total.

Even though people don't talk about matching social status much these days, our daughter is marrying into the Song family. At the very least, we shouldn't lag too far behind. We need to prepare the dowry properly, so our daughter won't lose face."

Fang Xiaohui paused. The Song family, daughter, dowry?

Wasn't this about her!

A surge of joy filled her heart.

Could it be that her parents are preparing a dowry for her?

Perhaps a house?

Eight to nine thousand yuan!

Heavens, she really didn't expect her parents to have such savings, eight to nine thousand yuan.

She was so excited that she could hardly conceal her emotions.

A bright smile tugged at her lips, her eyes filled with joy.

Could it be that her family is wealthy landowners too?

Capitalists?

No, that's not right!

That doesn't seem possible.

But regardless, she was thrilled beyond measure.

With this backing, who in the Song family would dare look down on her?

With her own family being supportive and the in-laws valuing her, anyone would be envious and jealous.

"Mom, Dad! I'm back!"

Her voice was filled with joy, carrying a warmth and tenderness never shown before.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Lao Shi's face darkened.

He had only heard about how this daughter treated his wife last time, and he was angry upon finding out.

This daughter, although they didn't raise her, ever since she returned, they had treated her wholeheartedly, wanting to give her warmth and family affection. After all, she is their biological daughter, and though they didn't raise her for a single day, they knew in their hearts it wasn't easy for her, learning her real story and suddenly falling from the skies to the ground.

That kind of feeling isn't easy to bear.

But this child regarded them as a credit union, didn't she?

Look at what she's done, and what she's said. Although the couple didn't want to think this way about their daughter, they still couldn't help but feel distant from a daughter they didn't raise.

Look at Jiang Xiaoxiao; although not their biological child, for so many years she was pampered and never gave them a hard time.

In comparison, Xiaoxiao is like a cherished little cotton-padded jacket. With such contrasting daughters, how could their hearts not be biased? Not biased, that would be strange.

Fang Xiaohui never regarded them as their biological parents, nor did she ever consider them first.

She never showed them even a hint of warmth that might leave an impression.

Fan Xiuying patted her husband's hand, sighed, they both understood: however it is, she is their own daughter.

Can they really argue with their child, be angry?

They're not young anymore, how much longer can they live?

After all, in this situation, both children are victims, no matter the truth, they wouldn't take this anger out on the kids.

These kids are still young, it's normal to have tempers and ideas, to stray on the wrong path. That doesn't mean they should nitpick with the kids.

Smiling, she stepped out, "Xiao Hui, you're back? Come in quickly!"

For the first time, Fang Xiaohui showed a sincere smile, holding an apple and supporting Fan Xiuying's arm.

Her affectionate attitude took Fan Xiuying by surprise, when did her daughter become so close to her?

"Mom, I've missed you and Dad, brought some fruit to see you. You wouldn't still be mad about what I said last time, right? I was wrong, I was just angry and said the wrong things then. You won't distance yourself from me for that, will you?"

When Fang Xiaohui was good, she could speak well.

Fan Xiuying wanted to interact well with her daughter, after all, she was her own.

"What silly thing are you saying? When do parents ever nitpick with their own children? Come in. Your dad is inside, why spend money when you come home? What you earn isn't easy, don't squander it. You need to save some for yourself, for a rainy day."

Fang Xiaohui, giggling, didn't argue back, not even a hint of disagreement with her parents' words within.

If it had been before, she would have thought her parents were eyeing her salary.

But knowing her parents' plans now, she suddenly felt it was genuinely for her behalf.

"Mom, Dad, I've never really honored you since coming back, buying some things is just a token of my affection. Rest assured, I remember your words, I will definitely save money well and not let you worry."

Even Jiang Lao Shi looked anew at this daughter of his.

The kid had indeed changed.

"Come, come! Hurry in and sit down."

Fang Xiaohui entered, sat there warmly chatting with her parents and noticed the small notebook on the table.

The numbers written on it, the drawings—just a glance and she understood. It must be about designing that house; a sense of delight crept in.

After all, Jiang Xiaoxiao isn't her parents' biological child.

If benefits were to come about, naturally they'd be hers, let Jiang Xiaoxiao gloat all day long.

Fan Xiuying made a special trip to the supply and marketing cooperative at noon to buy some ribs from her brother.

Stewed a pot of ribs, the child looked so skinny, like she could be toppled over by a gust of wind.

The family had a good meal, and because Fang Xiaohui was exceptionally pleasing,

the three of them got along very well.

Even Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao Shi felt their daughter had changed significantly.

Fang Xiaohui told her parents about their plan to marry on May Day.

She was indirectly telling them not to rush, that the house could be tidied up well before then.

Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao Shi asked carefully about the Fang family situation where Xiaohui would be marrying.

It's not that they didn't trust the elderly lady, it's just, Fang Xiaohui was marrying into Song Moting's stepmother's family, if this stepmother was truly kind,

why wouldn't Song Moting have any relations with her?

It indicates underlying issues.

They couldn't say much, but for sure, they were worried about Xiaohui.

But seeing her daughter delightedly talking about her future in-laws being so good, and her fiancé treating her so well,

the couple didn't know what to say.

They thought perhaps to meet the future in-laws,

but Xiaohui never mentioned it at all.

The couple couldn't say anything because officially, Xiaohui belonged to the Fang family, her parents Fang Zhiyuan and Ye Hua.

The couple was considered cadres.

The couple felt they weren't presentable, probably even embarrassed to let the Song family know they are her biological parents.

They saw Xiaohui off.

Fan Xiuying and Jiang Lao Shi discussed.

However it may be, she is their biological child; her wedding couldn't possibly go unrecognized by them.

After discussing, the couple decided to take out 1000 yuan from their savings, figuring it could purchase quite a bit, at least ensuring the bride's dowry is decent.

Somewhat shamefully, the 1000 yuan came from their daughter Xiao Xiao's money.

Their savings alone weren't enough for the dowry; initially, the leftover money from selling a gold bar was to be split 1000 yuan each, excluding Fang Xiaohui then.

The 10,000 yuan that Jiang Xiaoxiao gave, if used to buy the yard and furnish it, would leave about several hundred to around 1000 yuan.

The couple decided to use this money for Fang Xiaohui for now, intending to save up and repay their daughter later.

Still, there was no money.
