Chapter 329 - "Where did you run into her? Tell me in details!" (1)
The others also entered the house now.
Su Yueshen quickly made the introduction. “This is my parents and my second brother. We have been wanting to come in person and thank you for saving Xiao Jiu but, as we had just returned to Capital City, we had much to take care of so our visit had been delayed. We apologize for that.”
Tong Xuelu greeted the two elderlies.
Mother Lu held Tong Xuelu’s hands emotionally. “Comrade Tong, thank you so much for what you have done. We will probably never be reunited with Xiao Jiu again if it wasn’t for you.”
She was still frightened just thinking about it even now.
She never would have imagined that a person could be so evil. Lai Muqing grew up at the Gu’s. Never mind that she did not appreciate the fact that they had raised her, she wanted to thank them with revenge.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “Don’t mention it.”
Father Su, “We must show our appreciation. Not everyone would have noticed that something was off under that situation. You are Xiao Jiu’s savior. Thank you so much!”
Father Su bowed down at Tong Xuelu as he talked. He then had his second son presented the gift that they had brought with them.
It was now when Tong Xuelu noticed that they had brought with them malted milk, milk candies, and a television!
An 18-inch television cost 1,450 yuan right now and a 20-inch one 1,650 yuan.
This Su family must be obscenely rich.
Their status had just been reinstated and they were already able to make such a large purchase. Most importantly, getting the tickets for a television is no small feat.
It seemed that the Su was more powerful than she had imagined.
Tong Xuelu waved her hands quickly. “Please bring the television back with you. I can’t accept such an expensive gift!”
Father Su, “Please don’ say that, Comrade Tong. This is nothing compared to Xiao Jiu.”
His second son was still single. Had his family not been reinstated , Xiao Jiu would be the only descendant of the Su family. If anything happened to Xiao Jiu, the Su family would end there.
Tong Xuelu faked a serious look. “Grandpa Su, I really cannot accept the television. You have already made me the manager of the restaurant. It would be greed on my part if I accept the television as well.
“Besides, anyone would have stepped in to help under the situation. As such, you must bring the television back with you.”
She could not leave an impression that she was a greedy one with a powerful family like the Su’s.
Besides, she could very well afford a television in the future. She could not, however, severe a tie and network with a family like that.
The Su family, seeing that Tong Xuelu was serious about turning down the television, had stopped trying to convince her. Their impression of her in their mind went up some more.
The Su family stayed for about half an hour at Tong Xuelu’s place before they took off.
Tong Xuelu was curious on their way out.
She didn’t see Xiao Jiu’s mother last time. How come she also didn’t come this time?
Was there some other stories behind this?
Tong Jiaxin asked with a face filled with disappointment after the Su family had taken off. “Big Sister, why did you turn down the television earlier?”
That was a color television!
If they had accepted it, he would be the first person in school to own a television. He could very well brag about that for an entire year!
Tong Xuelu gave him a look and said, “Don’t be so narrow minded. If a television is what you want, earn it yourself. Don’t only think about relying on others.”
Feeling embarrassed, Tong Jiaxin dared not say anything else.

It started raining suddenly in the middle of the night and the autumn rain dropped the temperature.
When they woke up in the morning, it felt like it was already winter and it was so cold that everyone’s teeth clattered.
Tong Xuelu got up and was about to start preparing breakfast when she felt that something was off. Tong Mianmian’s face was very red.
She touched her forehead quickly.
HOT!
The little bun was running a high fever!
