Chapter 749: Chapter 749: The Wedding Gift Shu Yu Gave to Daniu Chapter 749: Chapter 749: The Wedding Gift Shu Yu Gave to Daniu However, there are some irregular gaps between the words on this letter, and the spacing is quite unreasonable. Some of the more complex characters were obviously left blank and filled in later after asking someone.

Just by looking at it, Shu Yu could feel the twists and the collapse Dabao must have experienced while writing this letter.

Following that was a heap of self-praise and joy about living a good life at home.

After listening for a while, the old lady couldn’t help but raise her hand, “Stop, stop, stop. You’ve been talking for ages and still haven’t gotten to the main point. Let’s look at what the others have written first.”

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief; it was tough for her to read, as she found some of the characters quite laborious to recognize.

She separated the part written by Dabao at the beginning and put it aside. Roughly counting, there were as many as seven or eight sheets.

Talking too much was one reason, and another was the varying sizes of the characters, which also took up more space.

The letters following Dabao’s were written by Daniu, who seemed much more serious.

He started by greeting everyone, which should be the part he had written himself. The handwriting changed after that, becoming much neater and clearer, suggesting he had found someone else to help him write the rest.

Daniu’s matters were more concise, the first thing being his marriage that happened a few days ago.

The letter stated that the wedding went smoothly and although it was regrettable that Grandmother and the second uncle’s family could not be there, Qiaoqiao understood.

Also, he expressed thanks for the wedding gift Shu Yu had sent.

Hearing this, the old lady and everyone else were taken aback, “You prepared a gift for Daniu?”

“It wasn’t exactly for Brother Daniu, but for our eldest brother’s wife,” Shu Yu explained. “She just became a new bride of the Lu family, and she must be feeling a bit uneasy. As her younger sister-in-law, sending a gift was a way to let her know our happiness for her becoming part of the Lu family and to make up for not being able to attend the wedding.”

Shu Yu sent a headdress set, which was not too expensive nor numerous in pieces.

But in Shangshi Village, it was still something to be proud of. For Daniu and his wife, it held significant weight.

When Shu Yu first returned to Shangshi Village, Daniu was always helping her out. Whatever she did, he never asked for anything in return and would run errands for her everywhere.

After doing so much, Shu Yu hadn’t given him much in the way of wages, so this headdress set was actually quite a worthwhile gift.

Yet, the old lady snorted disdainfully, “That headdress you sent will be wasted; it will surely be pocketed by Madam Li.”

Zhou Qiao, Daniu’s wife, lost her mother three years ago, and her father is an honest man who wouldn’t fuss over such things.

Moreover, since the headdress was a gift from Daniu’s cousin, Madam Li would certainly claim it for herself.

But Shu Yu wasn’t worried, “No, Grandmother, Brother Daniu knows better than that, and besides, I was the one who sent it, and I asked Lord Xiang to help deliver it. The Eldest Aunt wouldn’t dare.”

Daniu was not foolishly filial and knew of Madam Li’s nature; he wouldn’t allow his wife to suffer such an indignity on her very first day entering the home.

Considering Daniu’s temperament, the old lady felt somewhat relieved. Her worry was that Madam Li might resort to some despicable tactics.

Shu Yu continued reading the letter. After mentioning the marriage, Daniu brought up the situation in the shop.

He admitted feeling ashamed that the shop’s business wasn’t as good as before. The ladies and misses from wealthy families visited less frequently, but thankfully, the base profits were still stable. Last month, after covering costs, he had earned some money.

He was keeping it saved up, to give to them once the second uncle’s family returned.

This point had always been within Shu Yu’s expectations, so it wasn’t surprising.
