Chapter 98 Cotton



It's best for neighbors to give and take; you can't always take advantage of others.

Wu Yuanyuan looked at the walnuts her mother had brought out, which weighed about two pounds, and readily nodded: "Mom, let's ask Uncle's family to send more mountain products this year, and we'll share some with Buling, she loves to eat these things."

"Okay, I'll write a letter to your uncle right away, and you can mail it to me when you go to work tomorrow," Aunt Wu said readily.
