By dinnertime, Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu had second thoughts about their previous assumptions.
Because Song Xiufeng and Ning Anping came up with a cash amount of eighteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan, loaded in thick stacks inside red envelopes.
When Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu were about to mention the instructions from Lu's father and mother, Song Xiufeng said gently and elegantly, "Big Brother Lu and Sister-in-law have raised Qingqing for over twenty years for us; how could we act like ordinary people? If Big Brother Lu and Sister-in-law have any objections to the cash gift we've offered, let them discuss this matter with us."
Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu were at a loss for words and could only honestly keep the accounts.
Seeing his chance, Song Xiuluan interjected, "I'm Qingqing's uncle, her real uncle, not an outsider either."
So, he followed suit with ten thousand yuan.
