Shu Yu nodded at Yuan Gui and pointed to the back of the carriage, saying, "I brought a gift for Grand Aunt. Help me take it out. Let's go in and see her first."
Yuan Gui immediately agreed, "Sure thing."
However, once he entered the carriage and saw the piled-up items, his face couldn't help twitching involuntarily.
This is... a gift? He looked outside and saw many people eagerly waiting to see what the Village Lord's gift would be. He shook his head with a wry smile, motioning to the village chief's grandson, "An Ming, give me a hand here."
"Got it."
Yuan Gui first took down a large basket, but when An Ming received it, he nearly dropped it due to its weight.
When he lifted the red cloth covering the basket, he was shocked to see that it was filled with meat.
Pork, chicken, duck, fish, and even what seemed like lamb?
No wonder it was so heavy; all of it was genuine weight.
Onlookers widened their eyes, amazed at such generosity. With so much meat, when would they ever finish eating it all?
An Ming had just carried the basket inside when Yuan Gui brought out a box.
"What's this?" An Ming asked as he took it, but Yuan Gui shook his head, "I don't know." The box was covered, and he didn't want to open it. Nevertheless, it was not as light as the previous gift.
Although An Ming was curious, he decided to have someone help carry the box inside. Later, someone asked Grandma Fang to open the box, revealing two pieces of cloth and two sets of clothes for Grandma Fang.
Following that, Yuan Gui brought out pastries, preserved fruits, and rice and grain, all practical and useful items.
The onlookers stared with wide eyes. Grandma Fang truly had turned her fortunes around. With a generous niece like Shu Yu, and hearing that there were many more siblings of the Village Lord, her situation had taken a complete turn.
Tsk tsk tsk, Grandma Fang was bound to prosper.
The villagers in the yard were buzzing with discussions, but Shu Yu had already met Grandma Fang.
The latter was dressed in new clothes, sitting in the room chatting with Grandma Feng. Her face was radiant, filled with excitement.
She became even happier when she saw Shu Yu and grabbed her, reluctant to let go.
Then she busily found chairs for Meng Pei, the Guan couple, poured them water, and attended to them skillfully. It was hard to believe that just a couple of days ago, she had fainted.
Shu Yu didn't stop her and patiently waited until she was done. Then, she took out a box from her sleeve.
"Grand Aunt, today is the joyous day of your recognition. The timing was rushed, and I didn't have time to prepare much. This is for you. Congratulations on gaining such a sincere and trustworthy child."
Grandma Fang didn't know that Shu Yu had stacked many things in the carriage outside, or else she might not have accepted this box.
When she opened it, she was startled to find gold earrings and bracelets inside. She quickly closed the box and tried to return it, saying, "Child, why would you bring such expensive things? Keep them well, I can't accept them."
"That won't do." Shu Yu pushed the box back, saying, "These earrings and bracelets were specially chosen for you. They suit you perfectly. No one else can wear them with your style."
"Nonsense! I can't possibly..."
"Grand Aunt, today is such an important day. Originally, it should have been my grandmother who came, and if she were here, she would definitely be happy for you. Moreover, the gifts she would have brought would have been even better than these. But now she's far away, so I can only stand in for her. If you don't accept it, what will my grandmother blame me for? What if my uncles and aunts say I can't handle things? As a junior, I can't argue back, wouldn't that be unfair?"
