Chapter 219: Chapter 212 What Are You Plotting? “Sister-in-law, it’s not necessarily the case, of course, the fewer people who know about giving gifts the better. There’s nothing wrong with Hongqi going to deliver them himself,” Shen Yunfang said sensibly.

Seeing her sister-in-law still so clueless, Wang Dan didn’t bother continuing with the advice and went on, “I won’t talk about the gift-giving, after all, it’s none of my money. But just a few days ago, when Li Hongqi got notified that he was accepted to university, he started scheming again. He said that since the school is in the south, where he’s a stranger, he wanted to go there first to get familiar with it. Tell me, does that make any sense? Where else has he been besides Taoshu Village? Which place isn’t unfamiliar to him? If we go by what he’s saying, there are plenty of places to get familiar with.”

“What did our parents say?” Shen Yunfang thought they likely wouldn’t let him go.

“You know our mom, she’d eat a hundred beans and not find them smelly. She’s been tricked by Li Hongqi so many times and still hasn’t learned her lesson, so of course, whatever he says goes. Fortunately, our dad is still mindful of practical matters and didn’t let him go, saying that with the back and forth he’d need to pay for transportation, meals, lodging, and all that costs money. The family is already drained dry from the gift-giving, so where’s the money for this? What’s more, the year’s end is approaching—what’s the point of going out and showing off now? Thankfully, he was able to suppress him in the end,” Wang Dan said, imitating the tone of the old couple quite vividly.
