The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 132 Burst You (8)_1

Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Burst You (8)_1

Lady Fang had just closed up her stall and was waiting at Sun Tiezhu’s house.

When she heard that the deal had been successful and quite substantial, totaling over a hundred taels, they were all very happy.

Si Ya’s gaze fell on the four boxes of pastries, and she couldn’t help but purse her lips. A deal worth nearly two hundred taels of silver, and all they got were four boxes of pastries as compensation!

Afterward, Sun Tiezhu discussed with the Grandma Sun, Zou’s, about sending a gift.

"We should definitely send something! Xiao Pei is our family’s benefactor! Such a huge favor, it is only right to send a decent gift in return!" Grandma Sun nodded in approval.

Lady Zou agreed heartily and helped brainstorm, "It’s just over a month until the New Year; how about we send two bolts of cloth so they can make some new clothes?"

"I think that’s a good idea! Choose the fine cotton fabric, buy two bolts!" Grandma Sun also felt it was a good idea.

Lady Zou then turned to her brother, Zou Xing, "When you go home, discuss with our parents to see what they can send. It should be something they don’t have yet could really use!"

Their family lacks a son-in-law... Zou Xing thought to himself, and a blush crept onto his face, "Hmm! I’ll discuss it with father and mother when I go back this evening!"

Zou Xing, driving the donkey cart, returned home in the evening, brought the good news to his family, and they were all thrilled. But when it came to choosing a gift, the family was at a loss.

In the end, it was Zou Xing’s sister-in-law who suggested, "The sister is sending two bolts of cloth, so why don’t we send two cotton quilts? If they haven’t got new clothes, then surely they wouldn’t have spared the expense for new bedding either!"

"Then let’s take a chicken as well, and pack a bag of our white cabbage and radishes for them!" Old Man Zou decided.

The next day, after selling noodles at midday, Grandma Zou and her eldest daughter-in-law came especially to say thanks, "If it hadn’t been for the job and being busy at home, my old man and his elder brother would have come too!"

Lady Fang, looking at the cart full of new cotton quilts, vegetables, two bolts of fabric, and a large basket of steamed buns, felt overwhelmed. She turned to Grandma Sun, "Auntie... this... we can’t accept all these items!"

"These are exactly what you should accept! With such a huge favor from Xiao Pei, if we didn’t give anything in return, how could we have peace of mind!?" Grandma Sun said with a reassuring pat.

Grandma Zou also chimed in, "You should take them! We haven’t given anything that special, and if you don’t accept these, then we’ll have to think of other things to give!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Fang hastily complied.

"Take them!" Pei Qin, not shy about accepting, waved her hand, indicating for them to take the items.

The Zou family’s eldest daughter-in-law sized up Pei Qin, thinking what a straightforward girl she was, with great capabilities too. It was a pity she was born into their family!

When it was time for the mothers to return, Zou Xing drove them back in the donkey cart.

As the donkey cart entered the village, Grandma Zhang spotted it. Seeing a handsome young man driving the cart pulling Pei Daya’s mother and a few others, and a cart full of items, she pressed her lips together and turned to look, curious about what was happening. Internally, she cursed, thinking that Pei Daya was truly a vixen! She claimed to be selling noodles at her stall, but in only a few days, she’d gotten herself entangled with a man again!

Zou Xing parked the donkey cart at the doorstep and helped carry the items into the house.

"Oh my! Whose relatives are these? Bringing so much stuff!" Grandma Miao came bustling over, reaching out to touch the cloth, "Such fine cotton fabric, this must cost several hundred wen per bolt, right?"

Si Ya, handing a chicken to Pei Wendong, came up and snatched the cloth from her hand, "This is a gift from the Sun Carpenter Family, Grandma Sun sent it to us!"

"That must be the hand-pulled cart you mentioned, right!? How much does one sell for? You said you were going to be paid in money before, but you brought back so much stuff, surely you must have gotten a few taels of silver too!?" Grandma Miao prattled on, her eyes darting around, scrutinizing the items and Zou Xing.

Zou Xing frowned, this old lady was clearly an annoying person; he quickly moved all the items inside the house, "Auntie! Xiao Pei! I’ll be heading back now! I still need to go back and take my mother and my eldest sister-in-law home!"
