Chapter 2127 Three Taels of Silver
Shu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. We agreed that I would bring him back to see you in four years at most. I haven't broken my promise, have I?"
"No, no." Aunt Hong quickly waved her hand. She hadn't just kept her word; it had only been three years, and she had already seen Gouwa again.
Aunt Hong lowered her head, took the little one's hand, and liked him more and more as she looked at him. "Alright, Miss Lu, please come in first, let's sit down and talk."
She led the way, guiding the group into the house.
As soon as they entered, Yingxi intentionally or unintentionally blocked the doorway, preventing others from coming in.
Seeing this, Madam Yu quickly said, "Let's let them talk alone. My mother hasn't seen Gouwa for three years, she must miss him very much. Let's go about our business and not disturb them."
The others exchanged glances, but Shu Yu looked like no ordinary person, and since Madam Yu had said so, they all stopped at the door.
However, no one left; everyone stood outside the door, peering in curiously.
Shu Yu had already placed the things she was carrying on the table and said to Aunt Hong, "We came to the capital yesterday. Lele wanted to see you, so we brought him here today. We didn't expect it to be your birthday, and we didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift. We hope you won't find these things too shabby."
"Oh, Miss Lu, what are you saying?" Aunt Hong was flattered. "Actually, bringing Gouwa along is the best birthday gift. I'm happy to see him doing well now."
The more she looked at Xiao Songle, the more she liked him. He used to be so thin and small, but now he's become so handsome. It's clear that his uncle and Miss Lu treated him very well.
Xiao Songle looked at her, then rummaged through the pile of gifts and pulled out the bundle, stuffing it into Aunt Hong's arms.
Aunt Hong asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"Gift."
Shu Yu explained, "He bought this at a clothing store this morning with his own savings, but he doesn't know if it will fit."
Aunt Hong was pleasantly surprised, "Did Gouwa buy this especially for me?"
Xiao Song nodded happily, "My aunt is not dressed warmly enough, this cotton-padded coat is very cozy."
As he spoke, he untied the bundle and took out the cotton-padded jacket inside, shaking it out.
Aunt Hong knew it was a good quality fabric as soon as she touched it. She paused for a moment, then put on the cotton-padded coat under Xiao Song Le's expectant gaze.
Because I was still wearing a thin coat, the cotton-padded jacket fit perfectly when I put it on. If I hadn't worn the coat, it would have been a little big, but it was still very comfortable and warm to wear.
Xiao Song's eyes lit up with joy. "Does Auntie like it?"
"I like it, of course I like it."
Those who saw it from outside were very envious. Madam Yu swallowed hard. This cotton-padded jacket seemed a bit small for her, what a pity.
Suddenly, someone nearby exclaimed, "Ah, I saw this dress in a clothing shop. I heard the shopkeeper quote that it cost three taels of silver."
"What?!"
Three taels of silver?!
Those around them couldn't believe it; three taels of silver was enough to cover the daily expenses of their entire family for three or four months.
Now, all you've bought is a cotton-padded coat? This isn't clothing, it's gold!
Aunt Hong was initially delighted, but upon hearing the price of the clothes, she was so shocked that she quickly took them off. "This is too expensive, no, I can't accept it."
As she spoke, she shoved the clothes into Shuyu's hands. Although Shuyu had just said that Gouwa had bought the clothes with his own money, Aunt Hong subconsciously felt that Miss Lu had said that on purpose, and that the clothes must have been paid for by her.
