Chapter 2127: Chapter 2127: Three Taels of Silver
Shu Yu smiled and said, âItâs okay, we agreed that I would bring him back to see you within four years, and I kept my word, didnât I?â
âNo, no.â Aunt Hong quickly waved her hand. It wasnât just that. It had only been three years and she got to see Gouwa again.
Aunt Hong lowered her head, holding the little oneâs hand, the more she looked, the more she liked him, âAlright, Lady Lu, please come inside, letâs sit down and have a chat.â
She led the way and brought them into the house.
As soon as they entered, Ying Xi deliberately or unintentionally blocked the doorway, not letting others come in.
Ms. Yu quickly said, âLetâs let them talk alone. My mother hasnât seen Gouwa for three years, she must miss him a lot. Letâs busy ourselves and not disturb them.â
The others looked at each other, but Shu Yu didnât seem like an ordinary person, and hearing what Ms. Yu said, they all stopped at the door.
However, no one left, and everyone crowded at the door, craning their necks to look inside.
Shu Yu had already put the things in her hands on the table and said to Aunt Hong, âWe arrived in the Capital yesterday, and Lele wanted to see you, so we brought him over today. We didnât expect it to be your birthday, so we didnât have time to prepare a birthday gift. I hope you donât mind these things.â
âOh, Lady Lu, what are you saying?â Aunt Hong was overwhelmed, âActually, bringing Gouwa is the best birthday gift. Seeing that heâs doing well now makes me happy.â
The more she looked at Little Song Le, the more she liked him. He used to be a small skinny bundle, and now heâs grown so good-looking; clearly, his uncle and Lady Lu treat him very well.
Little Song Le was also looking at her, then fished out a bundle from the pile of gifts earlier and stuffed it into Aunt Hongâs arms.
Aunt Hong was puzzled, âWhatâs this?â
âA gift.â
Shu Yu explained, âThis is what he bought this morning at the ready-to-wear clothes shop with his own savings, just donât know if itâll fit.â
Aunt Hong was pleasantly surprised, âGouwa bought it especially for me?â
Little Song Le nodded, âAuntie barely wears anything warm, this cotton-padded jacket is really warm.â
With that, he untied the bundle and took out the cotton-padded jacket, shaking it open.
As soon as Aunt Hong felt the material, she knew it was something nice. She paused, then under Little Song Leâs expectant gaze, put on the cotton-padded jacket.
Since she still wore a thin outer coat, the cotton-padded jacket fit just right; without the coat, it might be a bit big, but it was comfortable and warm.
Little Song Leâs eyes lit up, âAuntie, do you like it?â
âLike it, of course I like it.â
People outside who saw this were all envious. Ms. Yu swallowed her saliva, this cotton-padded jacket, if she wore it⊠it might be a bit small, what a pity.
Then someone suddenly exclaimed beside them, âAh, I saw this jacket in the ready-to-wear clothes shop. I heard the shopkeeperâs price for this jacket was three taels of silver.â
âWhat?!â
âThree taels of silver?!â
Those around couldnât believe it. Three taels of silver were enough for their entire family to cover their daily expenses for three or four months.
And now, just one cotton-padded jacket to wear? This isnât clothing, itâs like wearing gold.
Aunt Hong was initially overjoyed, but upon hearing the price of the jacket, she was so shocked she hurriedly took it off, âThis is too expensive, I canât accept it.â
As she spoke, she stuffed the jacket back to Shu Yu. Even though Shu Yu had said earlier that the jacket was bought with Gouwaâs own money, Aunt Hong instinctively felt that Lady Lu was saying that on purpose; the money for the jacket must have come from her.
