Ye Shaoting seemed quite reluctant to leave, as he had wanted to have another bowl of noodle dumplings.
But faced with Jin Yu’s icy stare, he dared not voice his opinion.
Zhu Xinyu couldn’t wait for Jin Yu to leave quickly enough and ran faster than anyone else.
Jin Yu had driven here, and many people in the village had seen him.
Working in the fields, Yang Cuihua and Xu Zhiqiang found out through others, and by the time they hurried back home, the visitors had already left.
Yang Cuihua hadn’t even entered the house when she started calling out from afar.
At that moment, Xu Niannian was dealing with a pile of gifts on the table.
There was Malt Extract and also milk and fruits—good stuff, but Xu Niannian didn’t like them. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI~Fire.net
She found anything brought by that brute displeasing to the eye.
She was about to pack the items into a bag to later take them to her uncle’s house.
All the things sent by the Jin Yu family were noted down in a little book; she planned to return them all when they broke off the engagement.
Yang Cuihua rushed back in a flurry and saw Xu Niannian packing up stuff.
The sight of the good items on the table immediately brought a gleeful squint to her eyes.
"This must be from my son-in-law," Yang Cuihua snatched them eagerly, caressing the Malt Extract canister with a smile growing wider by the second. She loved it all the more because it was a gift from her son-in-law.
Bringing so many nice things to see their Niannian, what did it signify?
Didn’t it mean her son-in-law was fond of her daughter?
For a woman, finding a good husband was the key to a good life ahead, deeply ingrained in Yang Cuihua’s mind.
Her son-in-law caring for her daughter filled Yang Cuihua with joy beyond words.
Xu Niannian sighed, "Mom, I was thinking of giving these things to Uncle’s family."
"What? Giving them away again?"
Yang Cuihua was displeased, "This is the good stuff my son-in-law brought over, why should you take it to them? Didn’t you just bring a lot of good things to your uncle’s just the other day?"
Knowing her mother’s character, Xu Niannian could only stroke the fur the right way.
"Mom, remember how Uncle’s family often helped us out when we were in a tight spot? Plus, Grandma loves me the most. Now that our days are better, shouldn’t we properly show our gratitude to them?"
Yang Cuihua frowned, the reasoning was correct, but they had just sent gifts a few days ago, and besides, these were sent by her son-in-law.
She didn’t mind if she didn’t get to eat them, but Baby Nian should get to eat these good things.
So Yang Cuihua disagreed no matter what.
In the end, Xu Niannian resorted to her trump card, pretending to be angry as she turned her back and feigned wiping away tears, "Mom, can’t Niannian even decide what to do with these things?"
Her voice carried a tone of grievance.
Her uniquely soft voice laced with a plaintive note made Yang Cuihua’s heart ache terribly.
Forget a little gift, she would willingly give up her life if needed.
"Give, give, give them, Mom won’t keep them. Baby Nian, don’t cry, it breaks my heart."
Only then did Xu Niannian smile, turning around to hug Yang Cuihua tightly, "Mom, you are so good."
As she spoke, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but tear up because it was only upon turning around that she saw the anxiety in Yang Cuihua’s eyes, and she felt unbearably guilty.
How fortunate she was to have a mother who cherished her deeply.
Even though she wasn’t the original person, having been reborn into this body, Xu Niannian felt it was fate.
Perhaps it was the heavens making up for her last life that had been too hard, lonely, and without support, so in this life, she was reborn into a family that treasured their daughter like a rare pearl.
She had only been a little clever, yet Yang Cuihua took it seriously. If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so willful. If her mother liked the gifts, so be it, even if they were an eyesore.
But Yang Cuihua insisted on sending the items to Uncle’s family, worried about her daughter feeling uneasy.
Having no choice, Xu Niannian obediently complied. After all, it had been her idea to give them away in the first place. She resolved to go to the county town tomorrow to sell some items and buy some nice things for the family.
