Chapter 116. Follow-up, nomination
The fact that these two sisters could be so open-minded was truly surprising to Shuzhen.
However, seeing their full sincerity, without a hint of reluctance, she was finally able to put her mind at ease. She no longer had to worry that the three siblings who had endured hardships together would lose themselves or hurt each other over some external benefits.
Shuzhen, relieved, began distributing the gifts left by the Jiang family, though she secretly thought: Making decisions for others like this is just a one-time thing; in the future, she won’t intervene without permission!
Lian Hai considered himself just a driver, and without his sister-in-law’s help, he wouldn’t even have the chance to be that. Being thanked by the Jiang family was merely a side effect of his brother and sister-in-law’s good fortune. Ning Jianshe and his wife also believed that they were just lucky to hitch a ride, playing a minor role throughout.
After all, the Jiang family was wealthy and influential, not caring about small gains, otherwise, they would have only thanked his brother and sister-in-law.
With this understanding, the three generations of the Jiang family prepared everything in four sets, making sure everything was in order.
One set each was given to Lian Hai and Lian Yue, and the rest were kept by Shuzhen and her group to be divided evenly.
However, Shuzhen noticed there was quite a bit of cotton given, so she discussed with Lian Yue and Qiu Fang whether they could exchange their cotton for rice or flour.
In this dead cold weather, with Lianshan’s tattered quilts, she was genuinely afraid that Uncle Wu wouldn’t make it through the winter if he used those!
