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

41 Chapter 41 Repaying The Kindness
A moment later, Zhou Ying finished harvesting a basket full of grass and went home.

The sky had just turned dark, so she went straight to the kitchen, boiled the eggs, and left them to cool aside.

Then, she made dinner. She made millet porridge, steamed black bread, and shredded pork meat stir-fried with wild eggs.

When she was almost done with her work, Gu Chengxi quietly walked in and sniffed. “Third sister-in-law, your cooking is still the best.”

“Then stay and eat with us before we go back.”

!!
“If there’s a chance in the future. I have to head back now, or else there won’t be any food for me if I am late.”

“Alright, be careful on your way back.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took out five wild chicken eggs and handed them to him together with a steamed bun.” You’ve been working hard the whole afternoon. Have this to line your stomach.”

“Thank you, third sister-in-law. I’ll take my leave now.” Gu Chengxi hesitated for a moment but still took it. Then, he bit into the steamed bun and left the kitchen.

After he left, Gu Chengrui walked in and asked, “Did my seventh brother come over just now?”

“Yes, I prepared some food for him.” Zhou Ying said as she recapped the story of the little guy crying in secret in the afternoon and how she shared the wild chicken eggs with him.

Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment. “That’s normal. How would a young master used to living like a prince stand the hard and poor life now?”

“If you can help, then do so in the future. But we have to limit the help we provide to prevent getting us in trouble.”

“Yeah, let’s eat.” Zhou Ying nodded and began to scoop up a bowl of rice.

After their meal, the sky was completely dark. Gu Chengrui took out a money bag from the west room and handed it to her. “Babe, this is the remaining money after buying the medicine we needed today. It’s a total of eight taels and three coins.

“I still have 200 coppers here. 100 coppers for the chief’s food, and the other 100 coppers for the furniture.”

“Rui, you should keep these 300 coppers as pocket money.” After Zhou Ying said that, she returned the money to him.

“Thank you, my wife.” Gu Chengrui took it with a smile.

“By the way, there’s no need to rush the money for the furniture. I’ve already told Uncle Tian that we’ll settle the bill in one shot.”

“That’s fine. I’ll deliver the money for the food first.”

“Oh right, I also have to give out some fish. One is for the family patriarch, and the other is for the village chief, to thank them for their help.”

“That’s true. Oh yeah, there are still quite a lot of desserts in the space. Let’s give them two pounds each.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she disappeared.

When she came out again, she had two bags of peach crisps and two bags of date cakes in her hands.

Gu Chengrui took the bags of dessert and said, “I’ll go to the patriarch’s house first. Be careful.”

After saying that, he put the coins into the west room and went out with the snacks and fish.

When he arrived at the patriarch’s house, the family was eating dinner. When they saw him coming in with some things in his hand, the patriarch immediately stood up and said straightly, “Chengrui, what are you doing? Why did you bring something here?”

Mrs. Wang also stood up and agreed. “That’s right. It’s not easy for you two. Take them back to nourish your bodies and strive to have a child as soon as possible.”

After saying that, Gu Chengrui set aside the items in his hand and said, “Although I’m not well off, I can still afford to show my respect to my elders.”

He took out 100 coppers and said, “Auntie, here’s the money for the cabbage.”

“You are being too calculative,” Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

“Since I said that we were buying them, of course, I would pay.”

“As for the knitted goods that you gave us, I know that it’s a welcoming gift. Naturally, I won’t hesitate to receive them.”

“Not bad; you’re well-mannered and polite. It seems that your studies weren’t in vain all these years.” The clan leader nodded in agreement.

“Let’s sit down and eat together,” he offered.
