Chapter 22 Who is the little fat sheep?

　　If Shu Huan had to describe Xu s.h.i.+ with one word, then nothing could surpa.s.s the word "fussy".

• s.h.i.+: clan

　　She suddenly came to visit and said so many words like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. She also didn't wait for people to react and just said that she was leaving. Hearing this, Shu Huan felt greatly relieved. She chased after them, wanting to send them out.

　　However she didn't expect that Xu s.h.i.+ just reached the door when she suddenly turned back and revealed a fawning smile at her.

　　Shu Huan was terrified, "Mother…do you have something else to instruct?"

　　It took her a lot of effort to spit out the word “mother”. Fortunately, it was mother and not mom. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to bear it mentally.

　　"It's nothing…," Xu s.h.i.+ unexpectedly began to act shy. She even reached out to shove Shu Fu a bit.

　　Shu Fu looked at her and then looked at Shu Huan with an expression of wanting to say something but didn't know how to say it.

　　Because she got curious, Shu Huan urged, "There are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, just say it."

　　Shu Fu was elbowed again and finally opened his mouth, “Little Huan…”

　　She wanted to faint!

　　This Shu couple was really a match made from heavens. One was impetuous like charcoal. The other was soft like plain water.

　　In the end, it was Xu s.h.i.+ who couldn't hold back anymore; she glared once at Shu Fu and then said, "To give you face, all the last bit of the family’s money had been used to prepare gifts. We also had p.a.w.ned many things. Now, we are so poor that we can't even buy rice. Your little brother also has reached the age to attend school. We couldn't even gather enough for teacher Jing's payment. Little Huan, do you have some private money? Borrow some to us for the urgency!"

　　"…"

　　She went through such a big circle just for this!

　　Shu Huan's personality was a bit straightforward, so she didn't like to ponder over hidden schemes. However, this didn't mean that she was so stupid as to being sold and still count the money for that person. So, she went silent for a while and then asked, "Did you spent all the betrothal gifts given by Gu household?"

　　After this question, the expression of Shu couple immediately turned uncomfortable. Shu Fu revealed an ashamed expression. He stole a glance at Xu s.h.i.+.

　　Xu s.h.i.+'s temper was more shrewish. She was only deadlocked for a short while. After that, she licked her finger and said, "You aren't a housekeeper and don't know how expensive food is! I and your father married and not sold a daughter off. How much could this betrothal gift be? Then, let me calculate for you. The money for that matchmaker Jiang was borrowed. We have to repay that, right? Half of the money of the betrothal gift was gone because of this alone! Raising you until you became so big also needed countless money. We p.a.w.ned so many things. We need to go buy them back, right? Another half of the money is gone! The little money that is left was used on relatives and neighbors. As for the silk that Gu household sent; those are worthless when sold. So, I left them for your little sister!"
