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.”

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