Chapter 168 - Before Leaving Home (1)

In fact, the clothes that Chen Meng’er brought back for her parents, in addition to the clothes she bought in the department store, were also the clothes that Elder Liu learned from Da Peng that Chen Meng’er specially went to the department store to buy clothes for her parents, when Chen Meng’er went back, Elder Liu brought a few more clothes to Chen Meng’er.

Chen Meng’er didn’t even know where her grandfather Elder Liu got the clothes from. In any case, Chen Meng’er was quite satisfied with the style of the clothes, at least more satisfied than the clothes she bought in the department store. Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but want to ask Elder Liu if there was a space that was as heaven-defying as hers…

Otherwise, Chen Meng’er really didn’t know where Elder Liu got these clothes in such a short time.

“You silly girl, I gave you money to buy things that you like. Why did you buy so many clothes for your father and me?” Liu Juan held the clothes that Chen Meng’er bought for her. She couldn’t put them down. Now that she had grown up… she had never had such beautiful clothes. However, her heart ached as she said to Chen Meng’er, “Meng’er, this is very expensive, isn’t it? You lass, you are really spending money recklessly.”

Chen Meng’er knew that her mother was reluctant to spend money on herself, but she was very willing to spend money on the siblings. “Mother, you have misunderstood me. I bought this, this, and this for you. The rest were given to me by my grandfather after he heard that I bought clothes for you and father.” Chen Meng’er thought of this explanation, her father and mother wouldn’t be so distressed. However, unexpectedly, when she said this, Chen Ping, who had been touching the clothes silently, raised his head and looked at Chen Meng’er with a frown.

“Meng’er, you said that these clothes were given by Elder Liu?” Chen Ping said with a frown.

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er felt her father’s anger, but she didn’t understand how her father’s emotions could change so easily. So, Chen Meng’er answered while looking at the expression on her father’s face.

“Meng’er, we can’t always take Elder Liu’s things. Elder Liu is your grandfather. He usually prepares food, clothes, and things for you. It’s not a big deal for us to take them. However, if we take Elder Liu’s food, clothes, and things that your mother and I eat, then it really doesn’t make sense. We can’t let others say that our family is taking advantage of others behind our backs.” Chen Ping said with a serious face, “Meng’er. Your mother and I will take the clothes you bought. This is our daughter’s filial piety to us. But, the clothes your Grandpa Liu Lao brought, you should return them to your grandfather next time.”

Liu Juan also nodded in agreement and said, “Meng’er, I agree with your father. You should return these clothes to your Grandpa Liu Lao next time. He has already helped our family a lot, we can’t be insatiable.”

Chen Meng’er didn’t expect her father’s expression to change because of this matter. She sighed. How could she forget her parents’ character. Chen Meng’er thought that if her parents knew that the clothes she bought in the department store were also bought by Elder Liu’s money, she didn’t know how excited they would be.

Thinking of this, Chen Meng’er turned her gaze to Chen Haoxuan, who was standing not far from her, holding a toy. Chen Haoxuan was afraid that her two brothers would say that Elder Liu had paid for the clothes. Fortunately, these two brothers were not other children in the village. They had learned a lot by Chen Meng’er’s side. At the very least, they still had their eyes. Both of them kept their mouths shut.

Seeing that her two brothers did not intend to interrupt, Chen Meng’er heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want things to become more and more difficult to deal with. Moreover, Chen Meng’er knew in her heart that she could not return the clothes that Elder Liu had given her. If she really returned the clothes, Elder Liu would be angry. “Dad, Mom. Don’t worry, listen to me. Although Grandpa gave me these clothes, I won’t take Grandpa’s things for free. I have already thought of what you are thinking about. Maybe, I don’t have the ability to repay my grandpa with things of equal value for the time being. But, I will have the ability to repay my grandpa soon. So, Mom and dad, these clothes, you can be rest assured to take, I won’t take things for free, I also won’t let others have the opportunity to say bad things about our family.” Chen Meng’er said firmly..
