Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 433: My Future Sister-in-Law Is Xu Xiaowan

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: My Future Sister-in-Law Is Xu Xiaowan

She was wondering who this person might be, then saw her future sister-in-law turn around with a smile.

Upon seeing the face, she was stunned—how could it be her?

She never expected her future sister-in-law to be Xu Xiaowan.

Although her brother isn’t bad, Xu Xiaowan’s family is in a different league compared to theirs.

Moreover, Xu Xiaowan is beautiful, a university student, and has both talent and looks.

Feeling a bit awkward, Xu Xiaowan said, "Hey, sister, you’re back."

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was complicated, "Sister Xu, you and my brother..."

Xu Xiaowan blushed slightly, "Didn’t you ask me before to keep an eye on your brother for the workshop director position? That’s how I got to know him and decided to make a move."

It turns out it was Xu Xiaowan who took the initiative; Su Xiaoxiao felt like her world view was shaken.

Women of this era are mostly conservative; someone like Xu Xiaowan, who is bold and daring, is rare.

Thinking of the condition of their family and then looking at her own, Su Xiaoxiao had the urge to praise others at the expense of her own family’s pride.

"So your family doesn’t have any opinions?"

She couldn’t help but voice her doubts.

With a proud look, Xu Xiaowan replied, "My parents are very open-minded. As long as I like the person and their character is good, they have no opinions."

Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing a melodrama where the woman’s parents throw money down and demand their daughter leave.

That evening, both her older and younger brothers were present, and the whole family enjoyed a lively dinner together. Liu Cuilan was increasingly satisfied with her future daughter-in-law and almost wanted to set the wedding date on the spot.

Clearly, Xu Xiaowan was also very pleased with her future in-laws, mainly because Liu Cuilan, being an excellent chef, won the future daughter-in-law over directly with her culinary skills.

What Su Xiaoxiao worried about didn’t happen; both sides were reaching out to each other.

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao asked her older brother to ride a bike and take Xu Xiaowan home, fearing it would be dark on the way, and specially stuffed a flashlight into Xu Xiaowan’s hand.

One riding a bike and the other providing light—it sounded sweet.

After they left, Su Xiaoxiao helped Liu Cuilan clean up the table and noticed the smile on her mother’s face hadn’t faded.

"Mom has finally seen the light; once your older brother gets married, it’s time to find someone for your second brother."

Speaking of this, Liu Cuilan glanced at Su Fusheng, who was playing merrily with the younger siblings, and sighed, "I don’t know when your second brother will bring a wife home. No woman seems to appear around him."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced silently to the side, where Xu Zhaodi’s eyes occasionally drifted toward Su Fusheng, holding Little Stone. Even if she was slow, she could tell Xu Zhaodi seemed interested in her second brother, though what he thought was unclear.

"You little brat, got you, you’re it!"

Her second brother’s voice was loud enough to penetrate, despite being in his twenties and finding joy like a child.

Su Fusheng was playing tag with his two younger brothers, glimpsing Xu Zhaodi occasionally looking over, and waved at her with a smile, "Xu sister, want to join?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

There, a true blue straight man, probably has no romantic thoughts, it seemed Sister Zhaodi could only have a one-sided crush.

Su Xiaoxiao woke up unusually early the next day.

Not having finished cooking, Liu Cuilan called out to her as she groggily got up to wash, put on mismatched slippers and cotton shoes, and headed outside.

"What are you doing, third?"

Usually, the alarms struggle to wake her, getting up early was strange.

Yawning, Su Xiaoxiao replied, "Mom, it’s the year-end, and our department store is holding a year-end sales event. The general manager gave me this task; I must prepare early."

The general manager had high hopes for her, so she had to rise to the challenge.

"What is this year-end sales event?"

Curious, Liu Cuilan asked.

"It’s where we sell products that don’t sell well or are overstocked at a discount,"

Su Xiaoxiao explained while brushing her teeth.

Upon hearing "discount," Liu Cuilan perked up, "When does it start? Do we need tickets?"

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "No tickets needed; it should be ready by tomorrow. I’ll let you know tonight after checking."

"Alright, I’ll spread the word to the neighbors."

Seeing her finish washing and preparing to leave, Liu Cuilan quickly ran into the kitchen, grabbed two warm eggs, and stuffed them into her arms, "Even if you’re busy, don’t go hungry."

"Got it, dear mother,"

Su Xiaoxiao playfully saluted, packed the eggs into her pocket, and hurried off on her bicycle.

Just entering the department store, she ran into Liu Changjiang, looking unwell.

Though he was energetic yesterday, now he looked worn out and pale.

Tsk, the laxative worked well.

As she marveled internally, her eyes met the resentful glare of Liu Changjiang.

The latter snorted and looked away. After going home yesterday, he gathered that Su Xiaoxiao had discovered something and secretly slipped laxatives into his drink.

It was this damn girl who embarrassed him publicly, and now many people pointed behind his back.

Grinding his molars, Liu Changjiang vowed not to let this girl off.

Just as he thought of this, he suddenly bumped into something with a loud thud, and a big red bump slowly formed on his face, causing him pain.

Why the hell would someone put a big wardrobe in the hallway; it almost killed him.

"Sorry, temporary stop; we’ll move it now,"

Two young men ran over from afar and hurriedly carried away the wardrobe before Liu Changjiang could react.

Liu Changjiang: "..."

When bad luck strikes, even cold water seems to crack your teeth.

This too, his account with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Achoo~"

Uncontrollably, Su Xiaoxiao sneezed, wondering who was talking behind her back.

She rubbed her nose and spoke to Old Wang, the warehouse manager, "Uncle Wang, could you please give me a copy of the inventory list? I need to check the stocks."

Old Wang promptly handed the list to Su Xiaoxiao.

Having managed the warehouse for years, he was always diligent.

Su Xiaoxiao retrieved a big red apple from her bag and handed it to him, "Thank you, Uncle Wang, please enjoy this apple."

"Oh, Manager Su, this is part of my job, I don’t deserve your apple."

The apple looked delicious.

"I’ll need your help in the coming days, so please don’t be polite with me."

Seeing her sincere intent, Old Wang cheerfully accepted, increasing his fondness for the young lady.

Look at that, so young and already a manager, yet humble and courteous, unlike the previous one.

Old Wang was just thinking when he noticed Su Xiaoxiao’s expression change unexpectedly.
