Chapter 543: True to Their Name
"Don’t even mention it, Zhang Guilan insisted that their strawberries were for sale, and actually asked for fifty cents a pound."
"Fifty cents a pound," Ma Suyun almost dropped the strawberries in her hand, "how much are apples per pound? Is she out of her mind?"
Qin Wen snorted coldly, "Isn’t she just crazy? I can see it clearly now; in their eyes, they only recognize money. My mom went over and didn’t even get any face. My mom is Qin Han’s real aunt. How can you ask for money from your aunt for eating a few strawberries? Aren’t they afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"
"Did you give it to her when she asked?"
These strawberries must weigh nearly two pounds, and that’s one yuan?
"What else could I do if I didn’t give it? Didn’t you insist on eating strawberries?" Qin Wen also felt the pain of spending money, "You’re the one; what’s wrong with eating something else? You insisted on eating those few lousy strawberries, making me have to beg around. I don’t want to see them one bit."
"It’s not me who wanted to eat; it was your son who wanted it. What could I do?" Ma Suyun stroked her still unchanged belly, looking tender, "My son is obviously smart, knowing that winter strawberries are the best even while still in the womb."
Hearing the word ’smart’ about their son, Qin Wen looked hopeful.
"It’s just a few cents; I don’t intend to owe them. When my son succeeds in the future, will there be a shortage of opportunities to turn things around? Qin Han’s family, Zhuangzhuang, lives up to his name, just like Qin Han, dull as can be. Qin Yang is even more hopeless. Look at our house. Big brother Jianjun, Construction, second brother Jianye. And in the future, there’s our family’s..."
"Congcong," Ma Suyun interjected, "I’ve decided; our son’s name will be Congcong, clever and smart."
The name suits the person; her son must be very smart too.
Qin Wen nodded, "Yes, Congcong, Qin Jiancong. We have four boys in this house. If they don’t cozy up to us in the future, we won’t play with them and will embarrass them when need arises."
