Thank You Gift

Soon the shopkeeper came out with packed pen and paper.

"Madam, the things are ready."

Lan Qinxue asked him to hand the things to Lin Errong.

"This is my sincere thanks to Li Li. If you need anything in the future, you can go to Lan Mansion to find me."

"Sister, thank you!"

Listening to Ah Li's soft and waxy voice, Lan Qinxue couldn't help but pinch her white and smooth little face.

"Why is Lili so cute! I hope the child in my belly can be as cute as you."

"Sister, the baby in your belly is also very cute, but she looks different from Lili. He has small insects."

Hearing this, Lan Qinxue and the maid shopkeeper were filled with surprise.

"Li Li, are you telling the truth?"

Ah Li nodded ignorantly. She didn't understand why adults didn't like girls like her.

Lan Qinxue really likes girls, but her identity requires her legitimate son to be with her.

She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the household minister, and she has had nothing to do for four years since her marriage.

A few months ago, I went back to my parents' home to visit relatives and suddenly found out that I was pregnant. The couple and the Lan family were very happy. Unexpectedly, Yecheng was hit by floods and the road back to the capital was also blocked.

After the floods passed, every time they planned to return to the capital, Lan Qinxue's stomach felt uncomfortable, so they had no choice but to stay in Yecheng until they gave birth to the baby before going back.

My belly is now five or six months old.

Her natal relatives often told her that the shape of her belly meant she was pregnant with a girl.

She originally thought that boys and girls were the same, and she loved all her children, but she couldn't help but her mother kept saying in front of her every day that she couldn't do it without a son. In the future, if there was no legitimate son in the Duke's palace, her husband-in-law would definitely take a concubine.

They got married and never had children. Her parents-in-law had some complaints and hinted at the idea of ​​giving her husband-in-law a concubine, but her husband-in-law sternly rejected them.

Now that she has a child, of course she still hopes it will be a boy.

"Little Lili, this bookstore belongs to my sister's family. If my sister really gives birth to a boy, I will provide all the paper and pens for your family to study in the future."

"Don't you like girls, sister?"

Looking at Ah Li's big watery eyes, which looked a little sad, Lan Qinxue knew that the little girl might have misunderstood.

"My sister also likes girls, just like I also like Lili, but my sister's family is more complicated and she needs a boy to support the family business. I don't know if you understand."

Ah Li said with a hint of understanding: "As long as sister likes girls, that's fine. I believe in sister, so I wish you all your wishes!"

"You also know that you will get what you wish for! Lili is so smart."

"My third brother taught me."

Ah Li and the others quickly said goodbye to Lan Qinxue, fearing that they would not be able to catch the ox cart going home.

On the way back, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Geng watched them holding a large bag of things.

"Hey, the second son of the Lin family, you paid a lot for those fish! Tell me how you caught them, and let my grandson catch two to try them out."

Mrs. Geng went to the market to sell eggs. She happened to see Lin Errong and several others making a lot of money selling fish, and she was extremely jealous.

"Granny Geng, we catch fish in the same way as everyone else. We may be lucky this time. It's hard to say whether we can catch fish next time."

"Huh, if you don't want to tell me, just tell me. Don't tell me about what you have and what you don't have. Today's young people really don't know how to respect their elders."

Lin Errong was too lazy to deal with this kind of person and stopped talking to her.

The oxcart swayed along the way to Taohua Village.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and Huang smelled the aroma of meat buns.

"Er Rong, are you still buying meat buns? Can you give my sister-in-law some relief? She went to see the doctor today and she said that the child is not nutritious enough. Look at my family and you, Brother Li, can't make money. The poor child in your belly wants to eat something.

There’s no meat or fishy taste at all.”

Her shameless words shocked everyone on the bullock cart.

Even the old lady Geng next to me who loved to take advantage called her a good guy in her heart. Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.

Lin Errong felt like vomiting when he looked at her pretentious face.

"Sister-in-law Li, you are wrong, we did not buy buns."

"Don't try to trick me. I can smell it. My nose is so sharp after I got pregnant."

"No, really, but the smell you smell should be from the mouths of Ah Li and Dalang Erlang. They insisted on eating steamed buns, so they each bought one. There were so many that they couldn't bear to buy them."

When Huang heard this, he was dubious and approached Erlang who was close.

Erlang was so frightened that he quickly hid aside.

"Sister-in-law Li, what are you doing? Do you want to eat my son just to eat meat buns?"

Seeing that Lin Errong was angry, Mrs. Huang sat back and said, "Don't be angry. If you can't eat the meat buns, why don't you let me smell it?"

What a wonderful flower.

As soon as the oxcart arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Errong quickly took his three children back home.

It happened that the Lin family were all at home, so Lin Errong handed the buns in his arms to a few children and asked them to eat them.

He gave all the money from selling the fish to Mr. Pei.

Then he put the things Lan Qinxue gave him on the table.

"Dad, Mom, we are lucky today."

"What happened?" Pei asked quickly.

Lin Errong explained everything about today in detail.

Then he handed the tightly packed pen and paper to Lin Sanrong.

"Lao San, Lili got this for you. Originally, the thank you gift was silver. I don't know how Lili thought of asking for paper and pen."

Lin Sanrong immediately opened it with joy and saw that it was full of fine rice paper and brushes, things he had never owned before.

In the past, he used low-priced paper that had been accumulated in bookstores for a long time and turned yellow, and the pens were also the cheapest.

"This... these things are too expensive. Two days ago when Lili was learning to read with me, I casually said that I wanted to earn money to buy paper, and she took it to heart."

"My daughter is a grateful person, and you know it in your heart! You have to be good to her all your life. Even if we are gone or she gets married, you have to protect her, you know?"

Lin Errong and Lin Sanrong both nodded heavily.

"Lili is our sister, even if she doesn't do these things, we will always treat her well."

Ah Li is happily sharing meat buns with the four men at the moment.

She is very simple. If others are good to her, she will also be good to others.

…

The next day, Lin Darong came back with Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang's mother, Mrs. Zhao, also came with Dalang's uncle and cousin.

A group of people came empty-handed.

As they came, they looked at each face and looked here and there.

Lin Changlu and the others have not returned from the village chief's home.

Seeing that the other party was not being kind, Mrs. Yan asked the four men to take A Li to the village chief's house to call Lin Changlu and others back.

"Da Rong, Juan'er, we are hungry all the way, so hurry up and buy meat to cook! It's not easy for us to come here, but you still haven't treated us well."
