Chapter 102 Qiu Family Sends Festival Gifts
Qiu wore a goose yellow embroidered brocade cotton jacket on the upper body, a dark green pleated flowered long skirt underneath, and a white cloak with a hat on the outside, which made Qiu look gentle and quiet, and had a bit of the demeanor of a noble lady.
A little maid helped Qiu get off the carriage, followed by Wan Yiqin, who was also dressed richly. From the complexion of the mother and daughter, it was clear that they were living well in the Cheetah Sect recently.
The carriage stopped at the door of Grandma Wan's house, and Grandma Wan's house was once again surrounded by onlookers. However, with the previous examples of those troublemakers in front of them, these ordinary villagers no longer dared to speak nonsense. It seemed that the Wan family had already gained a considerable status in Shizi Village.
Qiu walked in front, followed by five or six servants armed with broadswords, each holding a large vermilion lacquered box in their hands.
Old Mrs. Wan had come out when she heard the noise and saw that Qiu was a completely different person from a few days ago.
Old Mrs. Wan also had a look of joy on her face. After all, Qiu was now her goddaughter, and she truly treated Qiu as her own daughter. As a mother, how could she not want her daughter to live a prosperous life and be valued by her husband's family?
"Mom, I'm back." When Qiu saw Old Lady Wan, she quickly quickened her pace and walked over, holding her hands tightly.
Old Mrs. Wan's face was full of wrinkles from laughing, and little Fubao beside her also opened his little hands and shouted, "Bubu, Bubu."
When Qiu saw little Fubao, the smile on her face became even wider. She immediately turned around, took a big box from a servant behind her and opened it in public.
There were all kinds of children's toys in there, colorful and all of the most fashionable styles. There was also a doll that was sewn by Qiu herself, a snow-white plush rabbit. Little Fubao fell in love with the rabbit at first sight.
"Bunny, bunny."
Little Fubao was held in Wan Ersao's arms. When he saw the little rabbit's body, he pulled it down and stretched out his little fleshy hand to grab the little rabbit doll.
Qiu quickly picked up the little rabbit doll and handed it to Xiao Fubao.
"My dear, do you like this bunny?"
"Happy birthday---" Little Fubao smiled as he hugged the little white rabbit, and held it tightly against his chest, fearing that someone would snatch it away. Today, Wan Ersao tied two little buns on little Fubao's head, and she put two pink velvet flowers on her head, and wore a pink cotton coat. She looked so pink and tender that people couldn't help but want to kiss her fair little face.
Qiu reached out and took little Fubao.
"Come, auntie, give me a hug, okay?"
Little Fubao quickly stretched out his little hand and went into Qiu's arms. At the moment when the two touched, Little Fubao suddenly said, "Brother, brother."
Qiu was a little confused. She looked around but didn't see any child younger than Xiao Fubao.
"Fubao, where is your brother?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Fubao in confusion, but Xiao Fubao lowered his head and played with his little rabbit, ignoring everyone.
Old Mrs. Wan's mind turned and she looked at Qiu's belly with an unfathomable smile on her face. She glanced at little Fubao again and invited everyone into the house.
"Xiao Fubao wants a little brother. You should hurry up and give him a little brother. Everyone, stop standing at the door. Look at the people standing in three layers outside the yard, like they are watching a big show. Everyone, go inside and talk. It's very cold outside."
Old Mrs. Wan didn't want her family to be so high-profile, but ever since they settled in Shizi Village, they have had no choice but to be high-profile. This person comes today, that person comes tomorrow, and every time it causes a sensation in the whole village.
If it weren't for this, their family wouldn't have been targeted by thieves. Old Mrs. Wan also had a headache. Since she couldn't live a low-key life, she could only defend her family's status in this village and even at the border. Now her goddaughter is already the wife of the leader of the Cheetah Sect, and Xiao Fubao has already said that Qiu is very likely pregnant with a baby, a boy.
Everyone knew that the leader of the Cheetah Sect had no descendants. If Qiu could have a son, wouldn't her position in the Cheetah Sect be secure? As a godmother, she could not walk sideways at the border, but at least no one would dare to come and cause trouble.
Zhao was also talking at Grandma Wan's house today. As the new year was approaching, Grandma Wan had said early on that everyone should celebrate the New Year together, and told Zhao that she didn't need to worry about anything and just had to wait for the food.
Zhao knew that Old Lady Wan was taking care of their family for Wan Xingmo's sake. After all, her food was indeed a little hard to swallow, and the children, including Wan Jinshu, had become thinner. She had no choice. Since Old Lady Wan brought it up, she might as well take the opportunity to learn from her.
Mrs. Wan San's cooking skills are not to be underestimated. It seems that one of her ancestors was an imperial chef, and there are cookbooks at home. Mrs. Wan San has been proficient in cooking since she was a child, but she has no place to put her skills to good use.
Seeing Qiu come back with a completely changed look today, Zhao was really happy for her third brother's wife and was walking beside Qiu.
"Sister Jing, are you doing well in Cheetah Sect? Has the Sect Master bullied you?"
Zhao has changed her words and it is no longer appropriate to call her the third brother's sister-in-law, after all, Qiu has remarried.
Qiu nodded with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Qin'er is also fine. The sect leader treats us mother and mother very well. He serves us delicious food and drinks every day, not to mention the clothes and accessories, which are all the best."
"Seeing you return in such glory, sister, I am really happy for you. If the sect leader dares to bully you, you must come back and tell us. Your eldest brother and your nephew will definitely support you."
Zhao said sincerely.
Qiu was somewhat moved. If she hadn't had so many people helping her along the way, she would not have been able to reach the border alive. Even though she had found a new home now, she still hoped that she would not be alone, so she forced herself to find a home. Now it seems that she did not make the wrong choice. Her godmother was kind and her sister-in-law's family was her support. She felt that it was not bad to live like this for the rest of her life.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The sect leader treats me very well. It's just that Xingchang has been following me all the time. Now that I'm married, I can't take him to my husband's house. I'll have to trouble you to teach him in the future."
Wan Xingchang followed Qiu all the way. Without the doting of his mother and grandmother, Wan Xingchang was like a rat crossing the street. The boys of the Wan family bullied him back in the same way they bullied him before. However, they were not too excessive. Compared with Wan Xingchang's behavior in the past, it was much gentler.
Zhao glanced at the yard. Several children were chasing and playing in the yard, having a lot of fun, but Wan Xingchang was huddled in a corner and couldn't fit in.
Zhao sighed, "Don't worry, the child will be nine next year, and he should be sensible. When the time comes, let Mo'er take care of them and teach them to read and practice martial arts. Find something for them to do, feed them and raise them. After all, they are the flesh and blood of the Wan family, and we can't just watch them starve to death."
After listening to Zhao's arrangement, Qiu no longer thought about the matter.
But Wan Xingchang hated these country bumpkins in his heart at this moment. In his heart, he always felt that it was these country bumpkins who killed his grandmother and mother.
The seeds of hatred had already taken root in his little heart.
