Chapter 205: Encountering Tang Xiucai Again

 Chapter 205: Encountering Tang Xiucai Again

Grandmother treated everyone equally. For her, her children were all her flesh and blood. Even if her daughter would marry in the future, she would still consider her as her own child. However, in the village, she was somewhat of an exception. In most families, daughters were treated like workhorses, while sons were treasured. Moreover, as far as she knew, those villagers like Da Zhu Arong who helped bring back the dowry for Da Ya only had daughters, and their families hadn't divided the property yet. When they received gifts, their mothers would give them to their nephews to eat. That was really distressing. Grandmother didn't like it very much, but since this time it was their family giving gifts, it was natural for their family to make the decisions. Shu Yu understood and smiled, "Alright, then what do you suggest we give?" "Let's get some pork and buy some sweets. That should be enough." As for the sweets, they could come up with an excuse to say that they were being kept for guests and hide them away, but they couldn't keep the meat for more than two days. When they cooked it in the kitchen, the whole family would be able to smell it. They couldn't possibly say in front of Da Zhu and the others that they wouldn't give any to their children. After all, Da Zhu had earned the meat for them. As for the candies, they could give them separately to the children. Grandmother thought it through, and naturally, Shu Yu had no objections. It was still early, so the two of them went to the market, bought some meat, and also bought candies before setting off in the mule cart. Little did they know that shortly after leaving the city, they saw a person walking ahead, hurrying along with a book box on his back. Shu Yu felt that the figure looked somewhat familiar, but it was only when the mule cart reached beside the person that she recognized him. "Tang Xiucai?" She hurriedly pulled the reins, and the mule cart stopped. Tang Wenqian turned his head, surprised to see her. He nodded slightly and said, "Miss Lu." Grandmother raised the curtain and looked over, delighted. "It's Wenqian! Are you going back home?" "Yes, I have a day off today, so I'm heading back." Grandmother waved at him and said, "Then come up quickly, we'll give you a ride." Tang Wenqian instinctively shook his head. "No need, it's not far, I can go back by myself." "Why decline? Look at the book basket behind you, it looks heavy. We still have to pass through several villages on the way back to Shi Village, it's quite a distance. Hurry up and get on. Last time our Da Ya had something to do, and you went with her to help. Shouldn't we show our gratitude? We wouldn't feel right otherwise." Tang Wenqian fell silent for a moment. Grandmother had already said so much, and if he continued to refuse, it would be somewhat obstinate. Moreover, there was not only Shu Yu in the mule cart. Even if he got on, no one would say anything. Therefore, Tang Wenqian nodded and said, "That would be troublesome." Tang Wenqian thanked Shu Yu again before going upstairs. However, with the sudden presence of a man in the car, the atmosphere immediately quieted down. The old lady actually liked Tang Wenqian and wanted to have a chat with him. But Tang Wenqian was a scholar, the most knowledgeable person in the village, and rarely went out. She was just a simple old country woman, and all she could talk about were trivial matters that couldn't engage him in conversation. It would only become bothersome if she talked too much. So the old lady hesitated, unable to find a topic. Shu Yu, who was driving the mule cart, couldn't help but laugh. Despite the old lady's age, she had an exceptionally adorable personality. She cleared her throat and asked Tang Wenqian, "Master Tang, I want to ask you about something." Tang Wenqian was initially quite embarrassed, but upon hearing her words, he immediately straightened up and asked, "What is it?" (End of this chapter)
