Chapter 516: 516: Money talks (1)
Sannian nodded gently, his voice delicate and slow as he said, "Dad... Dad said that big sister used to... used to be like that because she couldn’t sleep at night. The fragrance pouch, it has Calming Powder in it, which can help big sister get a good night’s sleep."
He blinked, "But... but big sister is already better, right?" Looking up, he gazed at Dong Huiying, full of hope.
Dong Huiying clutched the fragrance pouch tightly; it was Sannian’s heartfelt gesture.
"Right, I’m already better! But I have still been having so insomnia lately, Sannian, your fragrant powder has been a great help, I’m sure to have a good sleep tonight!"
She smiled, bringing the fragrance pouch up to her nose for a sniff, and then she paused briefly.
She had only intended not to let down Sannian’s kindness, but she hadn’t expected... Sannian actually had a talent for blending scents!
"Sannian, do you like mixing scents?"
"Mhm!"
With his ear tips reddening, the boy shyly nodded.
Dong Huiying embraced Sannian in one swift movent, "This is truly wonderful!"
She rembered that Zhi Chen had acquired a shop for her to run a business, and it would be a pity to waste Sannian’s talent if it went unused.
The siblings whispered to each other, mostly Dong Huiying speaking while Sannian listened. As dusk fell, Dong Huiying had Liang Zhichen bring a horse, and she began to say goodbye to the Dong family mbers.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Dong Feiyan was astonished, having assud that Baobao’s bullying would result in a longer stay, only to find it was a hurried visit.
At this mont, Dong Xinyuan suddenly slapped her forehead, "Ah, I know, it’s Aunt Wang, right? I did say I’d only give her three days, and tomorrow is the third day; I almost forgot about it. We can’t let her take advantage of our family for nothing!"
Clutching her chubby stead bun fist fiercely, Dong Xinyuan bared her teeth and made a ferocious gesture.
Dong Huiying was taken aback; her rush to leave wasn’t because of this matter. Nevertheless, it was a good excuse after all.
So, Dong Huiying and Liang Zhichen bid farewell to their father, mother, siblings, and Dong Xinyuan also mounted the horse, determined to go back and see what would happen. She even claid that if Aunt Wang didn’t repay the money, she would give her a beating first.
Before leaving, Dong Huiying called over Little Brother Sannian and whispered a few words into Dong Nian’s ear, then handed Dong Nian a small dicine bottle and winked at him.
Dong Nian had an epiphany and nodded heavily as if to reassure Dong Huiying.
They left the Dong family in Daliu Village at dusk, traveled overnight, and arrived in Kaoshan Village before dawn, but Dong Huiying and Liang Zhichen did not enter the village.
Dong Xinyuan was puzzled by this and was brushed off with an excuse by Dong Huiying.
At the entrance of the village, with the sky not yet bright, Dong Xinyuan looked at her big sister and brother-in-law sharing a ride, a tinge of sourness rising in her heart.
"Tsk, it’s just about not wanting to bring
along, I get it, I know all about it, hmph!" She blinked and then turned her horse around, but let out an "Ah" in shock, nearly yelping out loud.
"Sec-second brother-in-law... fourth brother-in-law, fifth brother-in-law, sixth brother-in-law??"
She was completely stupefied; it was still not daylight, yet how co so many brothers-in-law had all co to the entrance of the village?
Sixth Brother-in-law Liang Yixuan asked with a genial smile, "Where are Baobao and big brother? Just now, I heard the sound of hooves at the entrance of the village and managed to see them riding away, but why haven’t they co back together?"
"Uh, I don’t know either?"
