The surrounding villagers craned their necks and stood on tiptoe, eager to see what kind of thank-you gift the wealthy family would bring.
"Look at the carriage, could it be filled with gold and silver?"
"Haven't you heard the saying 'Gold has a price, but jade is priceless'? I bet it's jade!"
"You can't really tell good from bad jade. I think silver bracelets and gold hairpins are more practical!"
"Look at the woman Hei Zi called 'aunt,' the hairpins in her hair, the necklaces on her wrists and fingers—this Shui Qing family saved their young master, why would they give her silver? It must all be gold!"
...
Sun Jinhua, listening from behind, felt a pang of jealousy.
She was so jealous before that she wished the haters had been saved by them;
In the middle of the night, I heard Bai Ling saying that she wanted to call for the village chief, that she would suffer the consequences of deducting money from Hei Zi, and that she was glad that it had nothing to do with her.
Unexpectedly, after only a short while, the old lady herself said that she had prepared a thank-you gift overnight.
Wow, gold bracelets and gold hairpins, how much silver must they be worth?
After the old village chief was invited, he remained silent.
He was helped to sit down on the cool bed by Fan Jin, and waited quietly with his family. When he heard the thank-you gift, he did not feel the same envy and jealousy as the villagers. Instead, he whispered to Fan Jin beside him, "I wonder what these two elders of Hei Zi are up to."
Fan Jin said indifferently, "Let them be. Shui Qing and I didn't expect any thanks anyway."
I was planning to send Heizi home this morning, but I didn't expect them to come back first.
Shui Qing didn't expect any thank-you gift, but if she did receive one, she wouldn't refuse it!
She wasn't so aloof as to regard money as dirt.
She just wanted gold, silver, pearls, and jade to rain down on her.
Even a blind person present could sense the hostility emanating from Bai Ling; she wasn't foolish enough to think the gift was particularly generous.
Forget it, I'll just consider it as something I found. I don't have any gold, but I can't possibly complain about silver.
Over there, Old Madam Bai glanced at the whispering villagers around her, waved her hand magnanimously, and ordered her servant, "Move them out!"
A burst of enthusiastic discussion erupted from the crowd!
"Did you hear that? The old lady said to move! Good heavens, that's going to be so many gifts!"
"I heard that, I heard that. If you ask me, wealthy people are just so extravagant. They even carry their gifts around."
"Today we've broadened our horizons and seen the world! We can tell our grandchildren about what we've seen today!"
Bai Ling glanced around smugly, thinking, "Just wait and see."
When you see the thank-you gift later, you'll all be green with envy!
A group of poor farmers, seeing their thank-you gift, must have been incredibly envious and jealous.
The carriage was surrounded by layers upon layers of people, with those in the back standing on tiptoe to get a better look.
When the rough sacks were carried down, the previously boisterous crowd fell silent.
