Old Qin turned his head away with a long sigh and quickly left.
Seeing Qin Yueshi leading Shuang’er at the back, Su Pan’er quickly handed over the small gift she had specifically prepared for Shuang’er.
"This is a little sothing for Shuang’er, don’t you think it’s too little."
Qin Yueshi quickly waved her hand to decline.
But Su Pan’er forcefully shoved it into her hand. "Take it! It’s for Shuang’er. I like this kid Shuang’er, I bought it especially for her. We’re all family, there’s no need to decline."
"Alright, sister-in-law! I acknowledge your kindness. In the future, if there’s anything..."
"No need for sister-in-law to remind , Pan’er will also co to bother sister-in-law." Su Pan’er interjected.
In this way, Qin Yueshi finally left with peace of mind.
"You’ve got good older siblings."
The voice of Mrs. Su-Hua sounded from behind: "But that Old Qin, even though they’ve already separated, he still takes our foolish girl’s things with peace of mind, really..."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! No matter what, he is Qin Yi’s biological father."
Su Pan’er quickly intervened. "Besides, these are just so small trinkets, not of much value."
"What do you an it’s not worth much?"
Mrs. Su-Hua frowned. "That piece of cloth is worth a few silver taels. Do you think we don’t need silver to buy these... Actually, I don’t object to you honoring your in-laws. It’s just that when I think about your mother-in-law’s actions, I..."
"That’s why, those things are ant for father-in-law."
Mrs. Su-Hua kept on chattering, but was dragged by Su Pan’er into a different room: "Mom, co here. Pan’er has also saved plenty of good stuff for you!" What had been given out just now was the small portion, The things she saved for Mrs. Su-Hua were the big portion!
Su Pan’er rummaged for a while and soon found a jewelry box, pushing it across to Mrs. Su-Hua with a mysterious look on her face.
"Mom, this is for you."
"What is this good stuff?"
Mrs. Su-Hua, sowhat curious, opened the jewelry box, her eyes lighting up instantly!
Inside the jewelry box was a whole set of silver jewelry. Although the style was simple, the quality of the silver was excellent, and the design was modern.
"This, this is... Pan’er, you..."
"Mom, this is what Pan’er especially picked out for you in the county town. Try putting them on and see if you like them."
"I like it, I really like it! This... I’m afraid it must have been quite expensive."
From her eyebrow to the corner of her eye, pleasure was reflected. Mrs. Su-Hua’s fingers traced over these pieces of jewelry: "Pan’er, do you know? When you were unmarried, your father had already prepared so jewelry for you as a dowry. It’s just that..."
"Pan’er rembers, it was a set of pure silver facial ornants."
Hearing this, Su Pan’er laughed and got lost in mory.
Mrs. Su-Hua sighed softly with a choked voice: "Sigh! In order to treat your brother’s leg... all of that was used up. Whenever your father thinks of this, he sighs deeply, always feeling bad towards you. Pan’er, you truly have been wronged..."
"Mom, what are you talking about! Isn’t Pan’er living comfortably now? How would Pan’er not know the thoughts of mom and dad?"
Su Pan’er quickly comforted her, giving so incoherent explanations.
"Unfortunately, at that ti, Pan’er was still learning to identify dicinal herbs and had not yet learned the treatnt of bone injuries, and master wouldn’t allow to treat diseases and save people, or else he would expel from his sect. I also worried that my skills were not good enough, which would delay Ke’er’s treatnt, thus..."
"You silly girl, really!"
Mrs. Su-Hua shook her head, smiling softly: "You are my daughter, would I not trust you? You’ve always been a clever girl, can’t stand to see others suffer, always liking to help others. If you didn’t act, you must have had your reasons. Plus, isn’t Ke’er now healthy? There’s no need for you to worry about it!"
Su Pan’er felt a choking sensation rising in her throat, as a wave of warmth welled up in her eyes. She choked out a response.
"Mom..."
"You silly girl, really. Where did the tears co from all of a sudden! If Ke’er sees you, he’ll say you’ve been wronged again!"
Thinking of how she had always played the victim in front of Ke’er in the past, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but laugh.
"Mom, you’re teasing again. Hurry up and put these pieces of jewelry away."
Mrs. Su-Hua looked at the jewelry, packed them carefully and decisively pushed them back in front of Su Pan’er.
"No, I can’t keep this jewelry. You’ve already given twenty taels of silver."
Mrs. Su-Hua breathed a sigh of relief. "I initially thought your father would need it for his trip to the county city, so I took it all with . Now it’s co back with intact. With these twenty taels of silver, the young girls within a hundred miles will dazzle your brother. I do not need these pieces of jewelry, you will need them to save face at so necessary events. You keep them!"
"Mom, I still have plenty here. These are what Pan’er intentionally bought for you. They aren’t worth much, it’s just a token of affection. If you don’t like wearing them, just keep them, and when the daughter-in-law cos in the future, you can use them as a token for welcoming her!"
Having said that, she didn’t care about Mrs. Su-Hua’s refusal and forcefully shoved it into her arms.
With no other choice, Mrs. Su-Hua had to accept. "Alright then, Mom will keep them. If you need them, co to Mom at any ti. We are mother and daughter, we can ask each other anything, understand?"
"Mom, Pan’er understands!"
Su Pan’er promptly agreed.
"Silly girl, Liuhua, are you done yet?" Outside the door, the call of Su Lao Si could be heard.
"I’m coming, I’m coming, are you summoning a ghost or what!"
Mrs. Su Hua quickly replied, looking at Su Pan’er with so reluctance: "You should be careful. Although mom does not know what hardships you’ve faced in the county city, it’s always a good thing to be cautious when dealing with people and affairs."
Su Pan’er naturally understood Mrs. Su-Hua’s worries.
"I understand, Mom!"
Su Pan’er took out so more pieces of cloth and so candies and pastries, then sent Mrs. Su-Hua towards the door.
"Mom, Pan’er doesn’t know how to sew, so you take these pieces of cloth ho first, and make a suit of clothes for Pan’er and Qin Yi. As for these candies and pastries, Mom can keep so, and the rest can be passed on to grandfather. At the sa ti, tell grandfather that the foolish girl misses him."
Instead of having her mother in the sun on the mountain all day, Su Pan’er would prefer Mrs. Su-Hua to stay at ho and sew.
"That won’t be a problem, leave it to . These pastries are really exquisite, your grandfather will be very happy to see them!"
Mrs. Su-Hua put everything away. "My needlework was so praised by our neighbors when I was at ho, and after getting it done for you, it certainly won’t let you down. Speaking of which, your own needlework is just shaful to ntion, sigh!"
As she spoke, the smile on her face faded away.
"Mom! As they say, to each their own speciality. Pan’er’s hand is for holding a silver needle, not a sewing needle."
"That’s not the sa. Let tell you..."
"Talking, you’re always talking, never looking at the ti."
Before Mrs. Su-Hua could finish, she was interrupted by Su Lao Si. "It’s already past midnight. Let’s go ho imdiately! This way they can rest early, and hopefully have children soon."
And with that, he dragged Mrs. Su-Hua and started walking off.
