Yang Dong sent Yang Xiaocui ho and then went to town to get dicine for her.
He told Yang Xiaocui that once he got the dicine, he would hide it at the base of the wall, so she could find so ti to pick it up tomorrow.
Today’s incident also made Yang Dong more cautious.
He could no longer secretly deliver boiled eggs to Yang Xiaocui every day. Although he wanted to keep it from Yang Xiaocui’s family, sneaking around like this wasn’t good. If soone found out, there would surely be gossip.
Instead, he’d rather just give Yang Xiaocui a basket of raw eggs, just like the dicine soup, and let her hide it herself. Since she can manage the dicine, she should be able to handle the eggs too. After all, the dicine slls stronger than boiled eggs.
He told Yang Xiaocui about this, and she was very happy to have so many eggs and readily agreed.
After entering the yard, the children saw the fish and duck in Yang Xiaocui’s hands and were thrilled.
Yang Xiaocui knew that with such large fish and at in hand, the villagers had already seen them and hiding them was impossible.
With these in hand, her mother wouldn’t be suspicious.
"Auntie really brought back sothing good to eat."
Seeing the children crowding around, she said, "Don’t push, wait for grandma to give you permission before we cook and eat."
The children at ho, though young, knew about grandma distributing food, and they all nodded in agreent, watching Yang Xiaocui put the fish and duck away. They stared intently, worried the at would sohow fly away.
Yang Xiaocui wasn’t bothered by them; they could watch if they wanted. Anyway, she likely wouldn’t get much of it.
She was now waiting for Yang Dong to bring the dicine back, so she could exchange Silver for Yang Daniu.
Checking the ti, she quickly made lunch and, as usual, went with Yang Dabao to the fields to deliver food to her family.
Recently, the villagers’ attitudes toward her had noticeably changed. They greeted her when they saw her, undoubtedly due to her connection with Old Yang Family. People are so status-conscious. They rarely talked to her before, but now whenever they encountered her, they’d chat with her, even if just a little.
She responded to each one, quickly heading to the fields.
As soon as she reached the fields, before she could say anything, Yang Dabao ran toward his grandma, "Grandma, Grandma, we have good food at ho! Uncle Yang Dong sent us fish and duck."
Aunt Lan Hua had already heard soone tell her this in the fields, and now hearing it again from her eldest grandson made her believe it was true.
She couldn’t believe that her plain-looking little girl had managed to win over Yang Dong so quickly. In just a few days, he sent food again, and the girl hadn’t even married into his family yet. If she did in the future, wouldn’t there be more?
Not only was she thinking this way, but her three daughters-in-law were too, originally disregarding their little sister-in-law. Now they all figured they better cozy up to her, lest she didn’t think well of them in the future.
Aunt Lan Hua couldn’t contain her joy, accepting the food from her little daughter, "Daughter, Yang Dong sent us food?"
"Yes." Yang Xiaocui nodded.
"That’s great, that’s great. Daughter, it seems Yang Dong is truly fond of you. If things are like this, we might not even need to say anything; Yang Dong might be eager to marry you soon."
