Chapter 8 Part 1
Translator: Rya
Chu Xiaoyi was a person who couldn't watch over his words. He occasionally got emotional when faced with difficult questions from reporters, he would retort and inevitably fell into the pit. The manager, He Xin, had reminded him of this many times, but Chu Xiao Yi couldn’t fix it immediately. However, he stayed with Chu Xiaoxiao now and finally shut his mouth obediently.
Chu Xiaoyi realized that he couldn't speak any longer. As he became more timid as he spoke, and there were flaws everywhere. Chu Xiaoxiao wouldn't ridicule him directly, but her subtle and pitying eyes made people more stressed.
The family had already learned about Chu Xiaoxiao's ability, and in most cases, they would treat her as an adult when communicating. This was also Han Ya's suggestion. If an adult deliberately was tall in the saddle in front of a prodigy, it was likely to fall hard. Han Ya also cited a real-life case, saying that a certain child prodigy was enrolled in an ordinary school and was upset with the teacher in the class. One of the reasons was that the teacher wanted to establish the highest authority, which caused the child prodigy to feel resistance.
Chu Xiaoyi had just stayed at home for two or three days, and he didn't know Chu Xiaoxiao in-depth yet. Hence, he felt a little pressure at this time. He kept silent wisely, pretending that nothing happened while opening the conversation, and leading his sister to the supermarket.
In the supermarket, the atmosphere of the brothers and sisters was quite harmonious, and neither of them talked about the tongue trill. The supermarket in the shopping center specialized in high-end products, and even all kinds of fruits were well-known. There were also many imported fruits, colorfully filled on the shelves.
Chu Xiaoyi: "What would you like to eat? Why don't you pick it yourself?"
Chu Xiaoxiao seriously observed the shelves, her eyes lingered among the beautifully packaged fruits, and she couldn't help but fall into thinking.
Chu Xiaoyi found the plump and round fragrant green grapes, so he reached out and picked up a bag and put it in the shopping basket. He had tasted this kind of grapes before. They had a rose-scented aroma and a high degree of sweetness.
This bunch of green grapes was wrapped in a transparent bag with a beautiful bow tied at the mouth of the bag, looking quite delicate. Chu Xiaoxiao inadvertently glanced at the price tag on the transparent bag, and immediately looked slightly distressed. She felt that she should have a serious talk with the cheap brother.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao did not yet have a comprehensive knowledge of money. She knew the usual price of grapes, which was at least a common fruit in the family. The grapes purchased by Granduncle Chu Qingfeng were basically 29.9 yuan, the grapes purchased by Dad Chu Jiadong were 99.9 yuan, and the grapes bought by his brother Chu Xiaoyi were actually 199.9 yuan?
As the only cub in the family, Chu Xiaoxiao had always been outspoken in her views on her elders and had occasionally criticized her father for his behavior, not to mention the untamed Chu Xiaoyi. She picked up the green grapes in the shopping basket, and for the first time sternly called her elder brother: "Brother."
Chu Xiaoyi was picking fruits, but turned back in confusion: "?"
Chu Xiaoxiao pondered for a few seconds, and said earnestly: "People have the right to pursue beauty and luxury, but it is best not to consume beyond their ability."
Chu Xiaoyi: "???" What nonsense did this kid say suddenly?
Chu Xiaoxiao was holding the bag of green grapes, her little eyebrows were slightly twisted, pointing to the price on it. She used her actions to gesture silent hints.
Chu Xiaoyi looked at the price of grapes, he was suddenly blessed to understand his sister’s subtext!
She felt that he shouldn't buy such expensive grapes!
Chu Xiaoyi looked at the tight face of the Little Thing, he was instantly shocked with sweat on his back, caught in a dilemma. At this moment, he must choose to be a vain person or a hypocritical person. If he continued to conceal his income, then she would feel that he was trying to save face; if he confessed his income now, then she wouldl settle old accounts with him.
Once a person lied, he would use countless lies to cover it. Although Chu Xiaoyi just wanted to tease the kid at the beginning, he now felt that she would blow up once she learned the truth. She might push himself to the sofa and beat him.
Chu Xiaoyi's eyes wavered, and he faltered: "Well, it seems reasonable..."
Seeing that his response was inexplicably weak, Chu Xiaoxiao mistakenly thought she had poked her elder brother’s heart, and felt that her words had worked. She put the green grapes back on the shelf and said soothingly: "If you want to eat them, I'll buy them for you later."
However, Chu Xiaoxiao felt that "in the future" was a long way off. After all, she had no financial means for the time being. So she probably had to wait until she worked to earn money.
Chu Xiaoyi was slightly moved, and couldn't help but tease: "Don't you hate me? Why would you buy something for me?"
Chu Xiaoxiao said solemnly: "Hate is hate, but you're part of the family and I have to take responsibility for you"
Chu Xiaoyi stretched out his hand to pinch her little head: "Don't keep saying profound words. You are still raised by others, how can you be responsible for others?"
Chu Xiaoyi only regarded her as naive and childish. Despite her good intentions, she still couldn't do much.
"Okay, let's go." Chu Xiaoyi raised the shopping basket and reached out to her again, saying, "You are still young now, so you are the one who should be taken care of the most."
Chu Xiaoxiao's little face scrunched up at the words, not bothering to hold her brother's hand. She was silent for a long time and retorted, "I don't think you're right."
Chu Xiaoyi: "Huh?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "It's not that I deserve to be taken care of because I'm young. It's that I'm giving something else to others in the family in exchange for others taking care of me."
Chu Xiaoyi saw her serious look, he was puzzled for some reason: "Wait, why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Chu Xiaoxiao's little temper surged up, she put on her usual stance of theories with her dad, plausibly said: "You and I are in an equal and cooperative relationship. There is no such thing as who takes care of whom!"
Chu Xiaoxiao believed that a family was a basic unit of human cooperation. She had the same dedication and contribution to this family, and it cannot be denied by her cheap brother.
