The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu smiled and said, ”It’s okay, we agreed that I would bring him back to see you within four years, and I kept my word, didn’t I?”

”No, no.” Aunt Hong quickly waved her hand. It wasn’t just that. It had only been three years and she got to see Gouwa again.

Aunt Hong lowered her head, holding the little one’s hand, the more she looked, the more she liked him, ”Alright, Lady Lu, please come inside, let’s sit down and have a chat.”

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, ”Let’s let them talk alone. My mother hasn’t seen Gouwa for three years, she must miss him a lot. Let’s busy ourselves and not disturb them.”

The others looked at each other, but Shu Yu didn’t 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, ”We arrived in the Capital yesterday, and Lele wanted to see you, so we brought him over today. We didn’t expect it to be your birthday, so we didn’t have time to prepare a birthday gift. I hope you don’t mind these things.”

”Oh, Lady Lu, what are you saying?” Aunt Hong was overwhelmed, ”Actually, bringing Gouwa is the best birthday gift. Seeing that he’s doing well now makes me happy.”

The more she looked at Little Song Le, the more she liked him. He used to be a small skinny bundle, and now he’s 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 Hong’s arms.

Aunt Hong was puzzled, ”What’s this?”

”A gift.”

Shu Yu explained, ”This is what he bought this morning at the ready-to-wear clothes shop with his own savings, just don’t know if it’ll fit.”

Aunt Hong was pleasantly surprised, ”Gouwa bought it especially for me?”

Little Song Le nodded, ”Auntie barely wears anything warm, this cotton-padded jacket is really warm.”

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 Le’s 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 Le’s eyes lit up, ”Auntie, do you like it?”

”Like it, of course I like it.”

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, ”Ah, I saw this jacket in the ready-to-wear clothes shop. I heard the shopkeeper’s price for this jacket was three taels of silver.”

”What?!”

”Three taels of silver?!”

Those around couldn’t 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 isn’t clothing, it’s 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, ”This is too expensive, I can’t accept it.”

As she spoke, she stuffed the jacket back to Shu Yu. Even though Shu Yu had said earlier that the jacket was bought with Gouwa’s own money, Aunt Hong instinctively felt that Lady Lu was saying that on purpose; the money for the jacket must have come from her.
