A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

Chapter 269 Return of Gift

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, when Chu Yiling's family was about to reach the door of their house, they saw a person they didn't recognize standing at the door. They walked up to the person and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am Dawang's wife."

"What brings you here?"

"I...I came to thank you."

"Thank us?"

"Yes, the village chief's wife has already told me that you said those words to her, so I came to thank you."

"You're welcome. We were just saying it casually. You don't have to come and thank us specially."

When Da Wang's wife heard what Meng Qiuping said, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she put the basket in her hand on the ground, and Liu turned around and ran away.

"Hey~ Wait a minute, you..."

"Mom, please stop yelling, because the more you yell, the faster she'll run."

"What's going on? How can she force me to give you a gift?"

"Because she's afraid you won't accept it. Let's go inside first."

When Meng Qiuping heard Chu Yiling's words, she said "OK", picked up the basket left by Dawang's wife and walked into the house.

When she entered the house, she opened the basket and saw a piece of meat and five eggs in it. She immediately felt that this thing could not be accepted.

So she said to Chu Yiling: "Lingling, return the things."

"Return it directly?"

"if not?"

"Why don't we accept what she gave us, and return her some gifts, like salt or other necessities."

"That's fine. Anyway, those are what they need most right now." After saying that, Meng Qiuping went to the kitchen to get the things Chu Yiling mentioned.

However, she did not take much. She only took enough for the other party to use for half a month, and then asked Chu Yiling to deliver it to Dawang's wife.

"You...why are you here?"

"I'm here to return the basket. You left in such a hurry that you forgot to take it with you."

"No, I gave this basket to your family."

"I know. We have already collected the things in the basket. I'll put the basket on the table for you." After Chu Yiling finished speaking, she turned around and ran away.

The speed is even faster than that of Da Wang's wife before. It is guaranteed that Da Wang's wife cannot catch up even if she rides a horse.

"Mom, who was that sister just now?"

"She's the one who helped us."

"Okay, I get it now."

When Da Wang's wife heard Niu Niu's words, she touched Niu Niu's head and reached out to pick up the basket. She immediately found that the weight of the basket was wrong, so she opened the basket immediately.

Then she saw a few oil paper bags and half a bowl of lard in the basket, and her tears immediately couldn't stop falling.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"No, Mom is just happy. Happy that someone is kind to us."

"Then don't cry, Mom. Aunt Taohua said that people should smile when they are happy."

"Yes, your Aunt Taohua is right. Mother should laugh."

When Niu Niu saw her mother smile, she also started to smile. In an instant, this simple house was filled with the warmth that belonged only to them mother and daughter.

At around 1:00 p.m., Chu Yiling and her family arrived at the warehouse and saw Da Wang's wife standing at the door of the warehouse with a little girl. They knew what Da Wang's wife was here for without thinking, so they quickly went into the warehouse.

Then Meng Qiuping asked Dawang's wife, "How many matchboxes and medicine bags do you want?"

"Can we each take 500?"

"Of course, but you have to send it back before the end of the month because we need to send it to the county."

"It won't take that long. I can finish this many in three days."
