Go home
A line of people with two horse-drawn carriages returned to Xiaoshan Village in a grand manner. However, the horse carriage that Ling Hongfei had brought was much slower than Fengzheng's horse carriage, so their return journey was much slower than when they came.
When they arrived at the village, it was already very dark. Grandma and Road Big Girl were anxious and had been looking around at the entrance of the village. Fortunately, Kite was very considerate and didn't come back with them. Of course, it was so late that even if Kite had followed them back, it wouldn't have caused panic. It just made Grandma and Big Girl worried, and Yang Tao really felt a bit guilty.
"Grandma." Yang Tao and Pei Yifan's voices were both a little soft.
"Mother." Lu Dahei, this rough and tumble guy, also became much more subdued when he saw his mother.
"You kids, why did you bring your younger brother and sister back so late?" Lu Dainiang didn't wait for Nainai to speak, she first scolded Lu Dahei, raising her hand but ultimately not hitting him. "Don't you know Grandma will worry?"
"This sister, it's not like that, this matter can't be blamed on Da Hei." Qing Cang also got off the carriage with Ling Hongfei's support at this time, his tone sincere, and indeed had a somewhat honest and kind flavor. "It was me who took Da Hei, Taozi and Yifan to town, sister mustn't blame the children."
"It's not Big Black Brother's fault, it was I who wanted to go into town and take a look." Yang Tao also said, glancing at Grandma. "Grandma, sorry for making you worry."
"It's okay, it's okay, just come back. " The grandmother was indeed a doting elder, repeatedly saying so while looking at Qingcang and Linghongfei with a strange expression. "You two are..."
"It's like this, Grandma..." Ling Hongfei hastily spoke up and recounted the story he had agreed upon with Yang Tao, finally saying: "My cousin thought that Da Hei and Taozi had saved his life after all, so he agreed to play along with them in town."
"Grandma, Auntie, I thought that since we've already come to town, let's just take a stroll. Otherwise, we wouldn't have returned so late." Yang Tao was in a hurry and forgot to say "I", but fortunately Grandma and Road Auntie were used to it and didn't think it was a big deal. "This whole thing was my idea, if you want to blame someone, blame me, it has nothing to do with Big Hei Gege or Yifan Gege."
"Mother, don't blame Peach, she went to town this time and brought back a lot of embroidery work, also bought books and stationery." For the first time, Dahei Lu did not oppose Yang Tao, but stood on the same front line, it's really not easy.
"Where did you get the money from?" Grandma asked hastily. "We can't just spend other people's money randomly."
"Grandma, Dahei and Taizi saved me. I originally brought many gifts to thank you, but Taizi and Dahei insisted on not accepting them, so I didn't bring them this time. As for the silver that Taizi used to buy things, it was I who paid for it in advance. Taizi insisted on paying me back later, she didn't squander it."
"But then how are we going to pay you back?" Lu Danni's tone finally softened a bit, but it still sounded like she was half-believing, half-doubting.
"Old lady, I've already spoken with Brother Qing and we agreed that from now on, when we go to town, we'll use their family's horse carriage. This way, we can return in one day. When the time comes and we earn some money, we can repay the borrowed silver and the carriage fee all at once." Yang Tao saw Old Lady Lu relax and her heart felt a bit lighter, finally returning to normal speech.
"You saved my brother, when can we repay this great kindness? Don't mention the car fare, even if it's just the silver, you don't have to rush, whenever we have it, it's not late to return. There's just one thing, in the future, I and my brother may not come every time, but will send family members to pick you up, so don't blame us for being slow." Ling Hongfei estimated that he was seen as a patient by Qingcang, and hastily opened his mouth, speaking with unusual sincerity.
There's no need to rush to pay it back, after all, it's not your money anyway.
The car fare is also no need to worry about, anyway, it's not your car.
Yang Tao listened to Ling Hongfei's words on the side, and couldn't help but secretly curl her lip. However, seeing how hard the handsome guy times two and clearance sale were performing, she decided not to hold it against them.
"Well, then come on in and take a seat. You've helped us out so much." Lao Da Niang had already heard the whole story, whether she believed it or not didn't matter anymore, as long as the kids were back home safely.
"It's too late, I won't disturb you." Qing Cang continued to pretend to be weak. "Some other day!"
"Goodbye, handsome brother, goodbye, handsome brother." In front of adults, Yang Tao is so well-behaved, all those "handsome brothers" and "clearance sale brothers" are just nonsense, let's just pretend she never called them that!
"Alright, it's indeed late, I won't keep you any longer. Come visit my home another day, the road is dark, be sure to drive slowly." Grandma's few words were quite considerate, making Yang Tao look at her with newfound respect, she had thought that grandma was just a doting old lady!
Yangtao saw them off as their carriage gradually went further and further away, finally letting out a quiet breath. With the help of Lu Dahei and Pei Yifan in carrying the embroidery work, they first arrived at Lu Dama's house.
"Taizi, how did you think of taking the embroidery work for yourself? Was it Xiaoyu's words that made you think too much?" Lu Danni pulled Yang Tao's small hand and looked at the embroidery work under the dim oil lamp, seemingly not a few. It seems that this child is not just taking it for herself.
"Actually, there is a bit, Mrs. Tao." Yang Tao deliberately coquettish, at this time said no more thought that would be too pretentious, Road Mrs. Tao also wouldn't believe it. "However, Mrs. Tao, that Xia Mrs. Tao is so cruel! I inquired about it, the embroidery work in town are all ten cents each, even if I took these, the material isn't very good, but still eight cents. We suffered so much trouble and let Xia Mrs. Tao earn most of it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, so I took a little for myself. Mrs. Tao, next time when we go to deliver the embroidery work, you and Liu Auntie must accompany me together! That old lady boss is nice, but she saw that I'm just a kid and almost didn't give it to me!"
"Is that true, Peach?" Mrs. Lu was taken aback. To be honest, she also knew that Wang would definitely make some profit in between, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
"Alright, sister-in-law, when the time comes, you'll go with me to deliver the embroidery and you'll know. Yang Tao nodded and went back to looking at her grandmother. "Grandma, don't worry, I borrowed money from Brother Qing, I will definitely pay him back. Considering that we and Big Hei Ge helped save his life, he won't be in a hurry to get it back."
"Don't worry." Grandma gently stroked Yang Tao's hair, this child was mischievous and didn't seem to need her worrying. However, in Grandma's heart, there was still a bit of concern. "Auntie, you think that if Peach takes on this embroidery work, will she offend the Wang family?"
"Grandma Pei, don't be afraid!" Road Daigne didn't fear this. "Anyway, after that Wang Shi quarreled with us that one time, she hasn't come back again. I reckon her batch of embroidery still needs to wait a while. We'll just embroider this first, and when she brings it over, we'll say we're busy and won't do it anymore. It's not like the other villagers are embroidering for her either. Besides, with the wheat harvest coming up soon, we really are busy."
Grandma nodded, and Mrs. Lu's words were not unreasonable either. In fact, she wasn't really afraid of that Wang woman; it was just that they lived in the same village, and often didn't want to bother with her.
Yang Tao finally took the first step on this road to wealth and prosperity, although it was just a small one.
Thank you to certain wild, Da Han Jian, the old lady who sells vegetables in front of the door for the peace symbol, thank you all for your support of "Nong Nv"! Bear hug!
