Chapter 21 It's because you have a lot of face.

Chen was too soft-hearted; besides crying and worrying unnecessarily, she couldn't offer any other help.

Where are you going?

Chen didn't react for a moment, then paused and laughed, "Have you tasted the sweetness of success, little girl, and started believing everything you hear, thinking that Spring Festival couplets are selling very well in town?"

Thinking of her daughter picking and choosing the things the villagers brought her, looking like a miser, Chen found it somewhat amusing.

Going to town isn't impossible. With the Lunar New Year approaching, the family needs to buy New Year's goods. Once the road is open in a few days, she can collect some embroidery and sell it for a good price.

In previous years, she would take Xiaoya to her parents' house for meals and drinks. This year is different. She married Xiao Chenggui and now has her own little family. Her parents no longer have to worry about her. This sense of security is something she has never experienced before.

The more Chen thought about it, the more hopeful she felt for the future.

"The fur shops in town have leftover scraps from making cloaks. I promise I'll buy you one and embellish the collar and cuffs with it. It'll keep you warm."

Mrs. Chen coaxed her daughter by promising her a big reward.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the courtyard gate.

Lin Yuesha leaned forward and just saw the horse's head. She silently gave her cheap older brother a thumbs up in her heart.

Don't let Xiao Qi's reputation as a sucker fool you; he's incredibly efficient when it comes to getting things done!

“Mother, it’s not that my older brother and I went to sell Spring Festival couplets. It’s that my cousin Dahua has something to do, and my aunt can’t get away, so she asked me to go to town to deliver a message to my cousin Chen Lin.”

Lin Yuesha's words were vague, and Chen was left to interpret their meaning.

"Could it be that Big Flower has some good news?"

Chen was a simple-minded woman who didn't think much about it. Chen Dahua never got pregnant after marrying into the family, and it's said that she didn't have a good life in her husband's family either.

Now that there is good news, the whole family must go out to visit and express how much the Chen family values ​​their daughter who is getting married.

Ms. Chen also wanted to go and see, but she couldn't leave her family alone.

“Little girl, it’s good that you’re going to town. If any cloth shops or embroidery workshops are open, help your mother exchange her purse and handkerchief for copper coins. Go to town and buy some nourishing brown sugar. When you visit your parents’ home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, take it to Da Hua.”

Chen entered the house, took out a package, and then took a small basket, filled with two large bowls of freshly cooked noodle soup, for Lin Yuesha and Xiao Qi to eat on the way.

The clan chief's family borrowed the carriage, which is a huge favor, and they will inevitably have to return it.

Without any further explanation, Lin Yuesha easily went out and got into the carriage.

Old Ma knew the way. Xiao Qi only needed to point him out of the village, and Old Ma quickly found his way. He then went into the carriage and saw his little sister still looking around.

"Brother, this carriage isn't cheap. Having a carriage is definitely more convenient."

The horse is a northern breed, with four legs instead of two, so it can still run quite well in heavy snow.

Inside the carriage, there were benches on both sides, covered with thick fox fur, and a small table in the middle with a charcoal brazier and a small red clay stove underneath.

The north wind was biting in the winter, howling and howling, but sitting inside the carriage, I didn't feel the slightest bit cold.

The clan chief's brother-in-law not only lent him a carriage, but also prepared a charcoal brazier and hot tea, so he didn't suffer at all on the journey.

"Brother, scholars have a very high status. You have a lot of influence."

Lin Yuesha gave her stepbrother Xiao Qi a thumbs up, becoming even more determined that her stepbrother's "sucker" persona could not be changed.

"Oh, really?"

Xiao Qi lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent, but a smile flashed in his eyes as he said seriously, "It's not that I have a lot of face, it's that you have a lot of face."
