Chapter 665: Gifts for the Lin Family
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Aunt Zhou strode forward, the lively sounds emanating from the red-brick house quickening her heartbeat and her pace.
Upon reaching the entrance, she saw the Lin family’s main hall filled with villagers. To be more precise, they were all like her, bearing gifts in their hands, all here to present offerings to the Lin family.
Aunt Zhou was taken aback. She had thought she was the only one clever enough to think of currying favor with the Lin family by bringing gifts. She hadn’t expected so many others to have the same idea. The crowd was so large that she could barely squeeze through the door.
Aunt Zhou, her eyes wide with urgency, spotted Mother Lin inside, who had just returned from town and was politely declining the villagers’ gifts. She waved and called out, “Aunt An, it’s Aunt Zhou from town!”
Upon hearing her voice, Mother Lin looked over and saw Aunt Zhou standing outside. Although she didn’t know why Aunt Zhou had come, Mother Lin believed in treating all guests with courtesy.
She asked the villagers to make some room, creating a small gap for Aunt Zhou to squeeze through. Aunt Zhou handed over a basket of eggs and a basket of apples to Mother Lin, saying, “Aunt An, I came specifically to apologize for today’s incident. You must accept these gifts, please don’t be polite with me.”
Mother Lin was somewhat perplexed as she was handed another gift. She felt helpless. Today, everyone seemed to be bringing gifts. She could refuse one or two, but how could she possibly turn away a dozen or more?
However, after some thought, she decided to accept Aunt Zhou’s gift. After all, Aunt Zhou was a businesswoman in town. After today’s incident, she would surely not cause trouble in the store again. Wouldn’t that make her a good customer?
Mother Lin set aside the fruits and eggs, and handed a return gift to Aunt Zhou, saying, “I’ve accepted your gift, so don’t refuse mine. You’ve come a long way, sit down and have a cup of tea.”
