My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

162 Chapter 162 New Year’s Gift (5)

“Come, come. Have a seat while I make some tea.” The patriarch looked at the things they were carrying and smiled happily.

Of course, he wasn’t happy just because of their expensive gifts, and it was just that this was their first time visiting him for the new year. After noticing the expensive gifts, it showed him that they respected him a lot.

“Oh, you guys, take a seat.” Mrs. Wang stood up and greeted them with a smile.

“Auntie, you should take the food now, especially the meat. It might spoil if you wait any further.” Zhou Ying told her as she placed the clothes on the brick bed, giving her the rest.

!!

“Sure, sure. Just have a seat, and I’ll be right back.” Mrs. Wang took the things and went out of the living room.

She quickly brought in a pot of tea and poured them a cup.

After that, they greeted the couple politely, and the patriarch asked them about their lives or if they needed any help.

The two of them answered that all was well.

When they finished their tea and were about to leave, the patriarch smiled and said, “Ying, your restaurant sells beef and mutton daily. On the 30th of the month, can you spare a cow’s head to pay respects to our ancestors?

“I’ll pay you at the market price.

“I’ve been to the meat market for the past two days, and it was quite in demand and hard to get.”

“Only the head?” Zhou Ying shook her head after asking. “You don’t need to pay, and we’ll…”

Before she could finish, the patriarch interrupted, “As long as it’s a cow’s head, it’s fine. I must pay for this as this is an important matter for the clan, and it’s not about favors.”

“Alright then, we’ll take a break on the 28th. I’ll send it to you by the 29th at the latest.”

“Okay, thank you. Otherwise, it would’ve been hard to get a hold of this.”

“You two have a good night. We still have to make a trip over there.”

“Go on, and have a good talk there. Let me know if they don’t know what’s good for them and make unreasonable requests. I’ll deal with them.”

Zhou Ying smiled but didn’t reply. Instead, she walked out with Gu Chengrui.

By the time they arrived at the Gu residence, they had finished their meal. Only Father Gu and Madam Qiao were left in the living room chatting.

The couple put down their gifts and said, “Grandma, dad, I wish you two a Happy New Year in advance.”

Madam Qiao immediately got up. “Good, good, it’s good that you’re here. Quickly sit down so I can chat with you two.”

Father Gu stood up and made way for them when he saw this. He went outside and asked Mrs. Guo to prepare tea for them.

Soon, everyone knew the couple was here to deliver New Year’s gifts, and they all ran in one by one.

They were all people who had seen all the luxury the world had to offer. If it were in the past, no one would be interested in such small gifts, but they were more than satisfied now.

Especially the children, who were used to luxury.

Therefore, all of them greeted the couple with smiles.

Only Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao saw through their intentions. Even if they gave them the gifts, it wasn’t something the two ladies could use, and their faces darkened.

But before they could open their mouths, Madam Qiao warned them with her eyes.

Don’t they know what they’ve done before?

It was already kind of them to bring so many gifts, especially cloth. What else could they be dissatisfied with?

Thus, the entire room was quiet except for Madam Qiao’s. She was asking how they had been these days.

Naturally, Gu Chengrui didn’t play it down. He emphasized the past when he lived on the mountain, and everyone was embarrassed to say anything. Even Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao’s heads drooped.

After seeing that it was effective, Gu Chengrui added, “But don’t worry, grandma. We’re doing fine now.

“At the same time, this experience also made us understand the meaning of ‘only through suffering can one rise above others.’

“Only after suffering will you know how to cherish your current life, and only after suffering will you be able to move forward step by step.”
