Chapter 232: Return to Mu Family Village (1)_1
Upon hearing Cai Wei’s voice, Lady Du hurried out from the back kitchen, wiping her hands with her apron as she looked over her daughter, asking, "Wei’er, where are the New Year’s gifts for the main house?"
Cai Wei paused for a beat, biting the bullet, she said, "There is too much stuff, I cannot carry it all. So I’ve only chosen the items, after dinner, let Zhang Bo take me with the carriage to get it."
Lady Du said, "I asked Zhang Bo to go shopping with you but you refused, now you know!"
Cai Wei laughed and said: "I know now, not heeding the advice of one’s elders will lead to trouble. In the future, I, your daughter, will not dare to disobey your words again."
Although she was smiling, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This side was like an arrow drawn on a bow, a matter of life and death, yet she still had to deal with those hypocritical, selfish, greedy relatives. Life really is full of helplessness!
Despite her complaints, what needs to be done, still needs to be done.
She activated her Inner Vision to check the loot she had taken from the Lü family. She picked out some mediocre items, planning to use them to deal with the main house the next day.
After listening to her daughter’s explanation, Lady Du didn’t suspect anything and returned to the kitchen to busy herself again.
After dinner, Cai Wei took Zhang Bo’s horse carriage to the market, ostensibly to buy New Year’s goods for the main house.
When the horse carriage stopped at the clothing shop, Cai Wei had Zhang Bo halted. She went inside to buy a set of sky-blue satin clothes for her dad. The lake blue silken robe she bought for her dad in Yushu County City had been torn by Mu Liankui and Mu Zhongli. Although it was mended later by her mother, the patches clashed with the valuable satin and looked quite abruptly. Therefore, she specifically came to buy a new set for her dad so he could wear new clothes for the New Year.
