Chapter 248 - 243: Fang Xiu Is Expecting Too
Luo Honglan went to ask Luo Zhiyong for money. Because Luo Zhiyong had been instructed by Fang Pingying, he didn’t give her the money immediately. Instead, he asked her, "Why do you need so much money all at once?"
"For my sister."
"What do you mean?" Luo Zhiyong frowned at her.
"My sister said she doesn’t lack anything and told me to give her the money directly. I’ve prepared it all already, so I might as well give it to her." Luo Honglan thought it was very simple; she had been ready to give Luo Cuilan the money anyway, so it didn’t matter how she gave it to her. Thus, when Luo Cuilan asked her earlier how much money she had saved in the past half year and whether she could borrow some, Luo Honglan went straight to get the money for her.
Fang Pingying did not stop Luo Honglan from taking the money to Luo Cuilan. It had been prepared in any case, but she urged, "Honglan, if you really want to give your sister the money, you can. But wait until mom gets back tonight before giving it to her."
As soon as Fang Pingying finished speaking, Luo Cuilan suddenly pushed the door and came in, "Fang Pingying, what do you mean by that?"
Luo Cuilan had been waiting outside for Luo Honglan to bring out the money. Hearing Fang Pingying trying to stop her, she was worried Luo Honglan would change her mind and so she came in immediately.
After entering, she glared at Fang Pingying angrily and exclaimed, "It’s my little sister who’s giving me the money, what’s it to you if you stop her? You didn’t contribute, which is fine, I didn’t force you to anyway, even though you clearly promised to provide a dowry for me yourself."
Luo Zhiyong frowned at Luo Cuilan, who had burst in, and scolded, "Don’t be anxious. We won’t go back on our word. I will certainly buy a dowry, but let’s talk about it after you’ve discussed the banquet arrangements."
"If you’re going to host a banquet, the gifts we bring will be different. If not, the gifts will be different too." Fang Pingying glanced at her and continued, "If you’re not concerned about the Luo Family’s face, we need to be. We can’t let people say that the Luo Family is stingy, just sending someone off in such a poor and shabby way."
Hearing this, Luo Cuilan impatiently yelled at Fang Pingying, "Fang Pingying, why do you bother with so many things? It’s my wedding, whether it’s shabby or grand is none of your business."
After Fang Pingying heard this, she didn’t hold back either. Her face grew stern as she coldly told her, "Fine, I’ll back off. You siblings go outside and talk, don’t do this in my room."
