……

On this side, after Su Xiaoxue returned, she calculated the bricks and tiles that would be needed and reserved some extra, for fear that they would not be enough and she would have to order again.

After all, if you buy more bricks and tiles, you can get a discount.

As for transportation and other matters, Su Xiaoxue planned to ask them to deliver it later. Once the work at home and the farm was done and the land was measured, it could be delivered.

My mother's family was going to build a house. Although I didn't wear it on purpose, I always mentioned it. So after a few days, the villagers also knew that they were going to build a new house.

When people heard that it was Su Xiaoxue and her husband who sponsored the construction of her parents' house, the villagers were extremely envious and many of them came to the Su family to find out the truth.

Some asked Su Xiaoxue's parents, some asked Su Xiaoxue's two sisters, and some even went to ask Su's uncle's family.

"Are you really going to build a house? Is your Xiaoxue going to pay for it?" someone asked hurriedly when they met Su's mother.

Su's mother smiled awkwardly.

She didn't hide this matter, but she didn't tell anyone about it either. She just mentioned it to someone she was on good terms with in the village.

Seeing others asking about it, Su's mother could only smile and nod, "Xiaoxue said she had some money and wanted to build a small new house for me and her father, but it's not that soon."

Everyone envied, "This is great, my daughter and son-in-law are rich!"

Su's mother smiled and said, "Yes, the child is filial and insisted on building it. Her father and I disagreed, but the child was not happy."

When Su's mother said these words, she felt a bit proud of her daughter.

Everyone hopes to have a promising child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.

Their family has always been said to be a sonless family and was looked down upon. Also, because they have three daughters, they are often bullied.

But now, although her eldest daughter is married, she still always thinks about her parents' home, better than many families with sons.

With such a comparison, Su's mother was naturally proud, and she also wanted to show off to everyone that her daughter was as good as those families with sons.

When others heard this, some felt envious and some were jealous.

One of them asked, "Where does your daughter's family get so much money? Even if she just builds a house, it will cost at least several hundred, right? Even if it's less, one or two hundred is still a lot. Is it so easy for this son-in-law to make money as a deputy factory director?"

When someone said this, others began to suspect that Su Xiaoxue's husband might have obtained so much money through improper channels?

After all, Su Xiaoxue had just mentioned opening a store, doing business, buying a bicycle, and getting married, which also cost a lot of money. They are all ordinary people, so how could they make so much money?

Others also asked, "How does your son-in-law make this money? As a deputy factory director, his monthly salary and allowance shouldn't be that much!"

"That's right, is there something that can make money? Make that much?"

Mother Su didn't expect that just by saying those few words, she would be suspected like this.

Moreover, it was obvious that these people deliberately wanted to say bad things about her son-in-law, and even said that he might have done something illegal.

She immediately said, "My son-in-law doesn't make much money a month, but my daughter makes a little money from running a shop, and she is filial, so she wants to build a house for my husband and me. She doesn't make much money either, but she is filial."

Su's mother knew that once these people had bad intentions, they would continue to talk, so she was too lazy to explain.

But this matter made her feel uncomfortable. It was not that she was wronged, but that her daughter and son-in-law were so suspected.

Su's mother told Su's father about this matter. Su's father comforted her, "You, don't say so much to them. Those who understand will understand even if you don't say anything. For those who don't understand, it would be good if they can listen to two words you say a hundred times."

Mother Su nodded, "I know, but someone asked, so I just said it. Who knew that the meaning would change as I was talking."

She looked at Father Su and asked worriedly, "Do you think if I do this, will it cause trouble for the child?"

Su's mother was most afraid of causing trouble for her children, especially now that her eldest daughter was married and living a good life, and she didn't want to ruin it with just a few words from her.

Father Su patted her and comforted her, "It's okay, it won't happen, don't worry."

When Erni heard this, it was Xiaoni who told her.

After hearing this, her face darkened and she immediately cursed: "They know nothing. They are just talking nonsense out of envy and jealousy. They are not afraid of biting their tongues."

Xiao Ni has basically never heard her second sister say harsh words or swear words, and this is the first time she heard it.

She looked at her second sister in shock, but Erni looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ni shook her head, then smiled and said, "Second sister, this is the first time I hear you swear."

Erni finally came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, "It's because of these people's nonsense. It's really disgusting."

Xiao Ni quickly comforted him, "Forget it, don't be angry, let's not care about them, they are just jealous of us, jealous of our good life."

"Yes, it's jealousy."

Erni thought that after she was admitted to university, she would study hard, strive to be a useful person, make money for her family, and let her family live a good life.

By the time Xiaofang brought back the gossip about the family, several days had passed.

After the crops at home were harvested, Erni took advantage of her free time and came to the store with Xiaoni, saying that she wanted to help her sister.

Su Xiaoxue has been busy in the store these two days. Customers have ordered a lot of clothes, and some have specified specific fabrics, wanting them to be one-of-a-kind.

Su Xiaoxue tries her best to satisfy everyone, to make everyone happy and to make money.

Erni and Xiaoni don’t know how to make clothes, so they mainly help to receive customers in the store and introduce the items in their store.

When she has free time, Erni will follow her elder sister and watch her make clothes seriously.

Next to the sewing machine, there is a booklet made by Su Xiaoxue, with a lot of clothes on it.

Erni was curious and watched carefully.

And the more she watched, the more she liked it.

She asked, "Sister, did you draw all these clothes yourself?"

Su Xiaoxue nodded, "Yeah, yes, how about it, does it look good?"

Erni nodded and said with a smile, "Well, it looks good, and the painting is very realistic."

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "This is nothing, they are all basic styles. I heard that in those big cities, the clothes people wear are more complicated and more difficult to design. And the international ones are even more complicated. Some are very beautiful, but some are too revealing."

However, although Su Xiaoxue said that those foreign clothes were too revealing, she agreed in her heart and had to admit that many of the clothes were very good-looking.

Sometimes she would think that she really wanted to wear the clothes in those magazines, but she felt that they were too revealing and she probably couldn't wear them out.

In short, she does have a yearning for these beautiful clothes, and she still hopes that in the future when times will be more open, she might be able to wear them out.

Su Xiaoxue’s thoughts were also Erni’s thoughts at the moment.

She looked at the beautiful clothes in the book and said, "Sister, if I go to college, can I study this?"
