Chapter 184: Chapter 154: I Won’t Interfere
However, Nian Di looked around cautiously.
After Jiang Xin said this, the expressions of Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu immediately became very unpleasant.
Mr. Fu disagreed because he felt that Mrs. Fu’s words were too exaggerated; that one hundred yuan was not a small expense for their family.
One hundred yuan could cover their family’s food expenses for half a year, asking them to spend one hundred yuan to buy a dress for this young girl was simply too foolish.
Besides, this young girl has her own parents, why should they be the ones to shell out money to buy her a dress?
And even if we are buying clothes, although these skirts are indeed beautiful, we still need to consider our family’s financial condition.
Their family could not possibly afford the cost of this dress.
Furthermore, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, as this child’s uncle and aunt, had no obligation to buy her clothes.
Especially something so expensive.
They also had a daughter, think about their own daughter’s clothes which were just some cheap ten-yuan shabby outfits with outdated styles, looking quite dowdy.
How could they expend such effort for a niece?
Mr. Fu was firmly opposed to it; after hearing Jiang Xin’s words, he didn’t care about saving face, because at this moment, money was his top priority.
After all, their second son worked so hard outside to earn money that he couldn’t squander it like this.
Especially not on buying such an expensive hundred-yuan dress.
There was simply no need.
If in the future this young girl were really to get married, they could choose a gift as her uncle and aunt, which would show their regard.
Spending such a large sum now to buy her a dress seemed really unwise.
Mr. Fu rolled his eyes at Jiang Xin, knowing that Jiang Xin was setting a trap for them.
But at this moment, Mr. Fu also thought that this matter couldn’t really be blamed on Jiang Xin.
After all, when they first came to Mrs. Fu’s maternal home, Jiang Xin was just trying to retrieve her expensive skirts.
Among these five skirts, leaving one for Nian Di to wear for a date tomorrow was a suggestion from his family’s oblivious old woman.
Under such circumstances, of course, people would take advantage of the situation.
Especially with that greedy look from her family.
Mr. Fu was utterly intolerant, afraid that if he delayed opening his mouth, they might directly settle on buying that dress.
Mrs. Fu, meanwhile, had a completely bewildered look; one might think she was off in a daze.
What on earth was she thinking all day long?
If they waited for Mrs. Fu to speak up, the opportunity would be missed.
Hence, Mr. Fu was afraid that if he delayed a second, Nian Di might really pick out that dress.
Mr. Fu quickly spoke up to stop it:
"No, no."
"That dress is so expensive, over a hundred yuan; do you really think we’re fools?"
"My family’s old woman has no sense, but today with me around, this matter won’t go anywhere."
"If your daughter needs new clothes for the date, take her to the Department Store to buy them."
"Don’t take us for fools; everyone knows the Department Store opens very early, usually every morning, by eight o’clock, it’s already open."
"If you need clothes, you can wait until tomorrow when the Department Store opens, and rush over to buy them."
"Nowadays, date timings are generally set during lunch, everything will still be on time."
"Why spend over a hundred yuan to buy a new dress for you? We’re not foolish."
"Although my son earns a lot of money every month, we can’t spend it recklessly; money should be spent wisely, spending over a hundred yuan on a shabby dress is simply too unworthy."
"If you like the dress, just buy it yourselves; we won’t spend such money."
