Chapter 28 Sending a Thank-You Gift



This is Aunt Guihua. The original owner was angered by Fu Tingshen and ran away crying on the road. Aunt Guihua met her, stayed with her for an hour, comforted her, and even took her back. She watched the original owner enter the educated youth settlement before leaving.

"Hey, Ye Zhiqing, are you done yet? Is your head feeling any better? Why don't you go back and rest?"

Aunt Guihua has the round face that the old folks used to describe, a face that exudes good fortune. At this moment, she is all smiles, making people want to get close to her.

"I'm feeling better. Didn't Lu Chen from the brigade leader's family save me? I said I'd go thank him a couple of days ago, but I wasn't feeling well. I'm feeling better today, so I'd better go quickly, otherwise it would be impolite."

Ye Zhiyu made a point of greeting people so that she could say it out loud. Otherwise, if she went to the brigade leader's house with the gifts, some sensible people would know that she was there to express her gratitude, while others would think that she was there to deliver a gift.

She couldn't let her actions harm others, especially since Lu Chen was her "golden finger"—he was one of her people. She had to consider things more comprehensively.

"Then you should hurry up and go. By the time you get there, they'll probably all be home. We can chat another day."

"Okay, ma'am, let's chat sometime."

After Ye Zhiyu left, some gossipy people came over to spread rumors.

"Aunt Guihua, look at what Ye Zhiqing took. A whole pack of cigarettes! He just took it out and gave it away. What a waste!"

Granny Feng has triangular eyes, slanted eyebrows, and a face full of deep wrinkles. If Ye Zhiyu were here, he would definitely exclaim, "Isn't this the epitome of a mean and sarcastic person?"

At this moment, Dianfan's eyes gleamed, and he wished he could possess those things for himself.

Aunt Guihua's most annoying person in the village is Granny Feng.

She's always gossiping about this family and that family. Everything she says gets twisted in her mouth. Today she'll take a scallion from someone, tomorrow she'll try to extort an egg from someone over some trivial matter.

He's the type to take advantage of his wife and gossip like the wind, but if you ask her to do anything, he'll start cursing on the spot. He's a complete scoundrel.

Aunt Guihua frowned, rolled her eyes, and said impatiently, "It's their own money they squander, why are you judging them?"

"Besides, Lu Chen saved her life. Human life is more valuable than anything else. If everyone helped you, you would not only be grateful but also exploit them. Get out of my way."

He left after saying that.

This happened last year. One time, everyone went to town to sell eggs and supplement their household income.

Who knew that Granny Feng twisted her ankle on the way home? A kind person rode a bicycle to take her home, but when she got home, she said that the person had hit her and that she wasn't going anywhere without paying compensation.

The whole village came to watch the spectacle. No matter how the kind-hearted people and the village head tried to persuade her, she clung to their clothes and wouldn't let them leave. There were no security cameras at the time, so in the end, the man gave her the five yuan he had on him, and she was finally able to escape.

Everyone was pointing and whispering about her, but she was smug and said they were all jealous that she got five yuan.

When Aunt Guihua and the others returned and heard about this, they were speechless. From then on, everyone would stay away from Granny Feng, for fear of being harassed by her.

Granny Feng spat, "Pah, you only started hanging around because they're rich, what are you pretending for?"

His eyes darted around, and after a while, he revealed a smile, though no one knew what mischief he was up to.

......

Squad leader Lu Weimin had just arrived home with his eldest son and daughter-in-law and were resting when they heard someone shouting at the door.

Is anyone home?

Tao Qingtang got up and opened the door, and was somewhat surprised to see Ye Zhiyu carrying something in her hand.

"Ye Zhiqing?"

Ye Zhiyu didn't know Tao Qingtang and didn't know how to address her.

Just then, Lu Weimin's question came from the courtyard, "Eldest daughter-in-law, who is she?"

Tao Qingtang replied, "Father, it's Ye Zhiqing."

Make way for the people to come in.

When Lu Weimin called out just now, Ye Zhiyu knew that this was Lu Chen's sister-in-law, so she also called out, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother us, we're just resting in the yard since we have nothing to do right now."

When Lu Weimin heard that it was Ye Zhiyu, his first reaction was that something had happened again.

It's no wonder he thought that way; it's just that this batch of educated youth was too mischievous.

Hearing the noise, Tian Hongfang quickly came out, feeling nervous. She wondered if Lu Chen had done something stupid and this girl was taking advantage of his absence to complain.

Despite thinking this, she still greeted him with a smile: "You've arrived, Ye Zhiqing. Come and sit down."

Ye Zhiyu handed over the items, saying, "Auntie, this is a small token of my appreciation."

Tian Hongfang was dumbfounded. Now it's acceptable to bring things when you come to file a complaint?

"You've come all this way, why bring anything? This is too valuable, I can't accept it, ma'am."

Good grief, I glanced at it and there was still a pack of cigarettes. I didn't understand what was going on, but I absolutely couldn't take it. I was scared.

"Lu Chen saved me, this is all I should do. These things are not as valuable as my life, ma'am, do you think it's not enough?"

He looked at her pitifully at the end.

Tian Hongfang's heart melted at the sight. No wonder the brat liked him; she liked him too. Sigh.

Lu Weimin, who had been watching for a while, said, "Since Ye Zhiqing has brought it all, please accept it."

Ye Zhiyu sat down, and Lu Weimin said with a smile, "That day you said you would come another day, I just thought you were trying to make me happy, and besides, didn't you have that girl Niu Niu bring back a pheasant?"

"Uncle, I'm just afraid you'll make things difficult for me."

Ye Zhiyu is being silly.

"Hey, I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned it. I'll make you work in the fields tomorrow."

Lu Weimin glared and puffed out his beard, playing along with her act.

Ye Zhiyu begged for mercy at lightning speed: "No, no, Uncle, I was wrong, my head injury hasn't healed yet."

The two of them made everyone laugh.

Tian Hongfang packed her things and came out, pretending to glare at Lu Weimin: "You've been the brigade leader for a day and you still can't be serious, you're just teasing people."
