Chapter 352 - 352 Entering the Village
352 Entering the Village
Just as Lu Ze had said, when they finally arrived at the village where Mrs. Luo and the others lived, it was already the next day.
When the long convoy entered the village, there were already villagers on both sides of the road.
At this moment, Lu Ze was sitting in a carriage with Lin Suisui. When he heard the commotion outside, he instructed Su Qi outside to give each of the villagers a tael of silver as a reward.
At first, the villagers were a little reluctant to welcome Lu Ze, but now, they were all sincerely grateful and their voices became louder and louder.
The village chief bowed as he led the way for them politely and humbly.
After the carriage convoy passed through the houses in the village, it finally stopped in front of a courtyard that looked like it had been repaired.
Bai Guo and Su Qi had arrived first. At this moment, they were already waiting by the carriage with a few accompanying girls. Lu Ze got out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped Lin Suisui out of the carriage carefully.
Some villagers looked over curiously. However, Lin Suisui was wearing a veiled hat, so no one could see her appearance clearly. Only Lu Ze, who was reaching out to protect her, made many bold women who were secretly looking over blush.
Lu Ze and the others moved quickly. After they entered, they saw the aloof man who had entered the village previously come out of the courtyard. Behind him, there was the submissive village chief.
However, the village chief’s smile was clearly wider than before. As he called the villagers beside him to follow him, he asked Su Le if they needed anything else.
After all, the money they gave out was enough to feed their village for half a year.
Su Le went to the villagers to distribute silver as a reward, while Lin Suisui was brought into the new Inner Residence by Bai Guo. It had to be said that Bai Guo and the others were very efficient.
The tables, chairs, and furniture in the room had obviously been repurchased. After Lin Suisui asked, Bai Guo told her that they had all been bought from the town and transported back overnight.
It was still a little cold at night, so in an ordinary village like this, almost every family had heated brick beds.
It was obvious that they had already heated the bed, while the bedding and quilts on it had also been replaced. There was a copper basin filled with warm water on the wooden rack at the door. With the help of Bai Guo and Yin Qiao, Lin Suisun washed herself and changed into casual clothing. When she came out, she saw Fang Rui’er looking at her happily.
“I wanted to visit you when the weather got warmer, but I didn’t expect you to come with my mother and the others this time.”
Fang Rui’er wasn’t frightened by the scene in front of her. As soon as she saw Lin Suisui, she went forward eagerly. As she explained the situation here, she sized her up and continued, “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”
“I think you look thinner than before.” Lin Suisui smiled as she took Fang Rui’er’s pulse, but then she frowned slightly. “Your vital signs are a little weak. How about this? I’ll stay here for a few days. Later, I’ll bring you to the nearby mountain to find a few herbs. When the time comes, you can dig them up from the mountain and get your mother to cook soup for you with them. You don’t have to boil medicine. Just supplement your nutrition with food.”
“Madam Liu, you’re always so concerned about our health.” Fang Rui’er chuckled. Actually, she really didn’t care too much about her health now. She was just happy that Lin Suisui had come.
“By the way, I have a gift that Yuan Niang asked me to pass to you.” Seeing Fang Rui’er smile so happily, Lin Suisui thought of something and pulled her towards the inner room. “We opened a medical center. Because it just opened, Yuan Niang has to guard it and it’s not convenient for her to leave. Otherwise, she would probably have followed me here.
She didn’t know what you liked, so she prepared a hairpin for you and this pair of earrings. The design is quite plain, so it won’t be too eye-catching when you wear them.”
Lin Suisui took the box from Bai Guo and picked it up for Fang Rui’er to see. “Take a look and see if you like it.”
“This is so beautiful.”
After Fang Rui’er opened the box and took a look, she was so happy that she couldn’t look away. Seeing that she liked it, Lin Suisui took out the gift she had prepared. “I’ve prepared a pair of bracelets for you. They’re plain silver, so that you can wear them daily.
There are also some textile materials, two of which are fine cotton cloth. When the time comes, you, your sister-in-law, and my mother can use them to make clothes to wear. They can also be used to make clothes for your nephew and niece, who will be born soon. The textile is very soft and close-fitting.”
Because there was no one else here, Lin Suisui showed her the material that Bai Guo and the others had brought over without hiding. “By the way, Yuan Niang found the embroidery samples your sister-in-law mentioned. You can bring them back too.”
“There’s also a gift for your mother, your sister-in-law, your father, and your brother. Since you’re here, I’ll get Bai Guo and the others to send you back later.”
Fang Rui’er looked at Lin Suisui in surprise and lowered her head to look at the gift. After a long silence, she said in a panic, “I can’t accept this gift!
This is too expensive. It’s already good enough that you came over to take a look. Why did you buy so many things?!
I-I can’t accept it!”
“This gift is for your family. You have to accept it.” Lin Suisui smiled as she reached out to tousle Fang Rui’er’s hair. Then, she said, “We’ve been through life and death together, so why are you treating me like an outsider?!”
At this point, Fang Rui’er couldn’t refuse anymore and thanked Lin Suisui in a low voice. Then, Fang Rui’er sat with her for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up and bid farewell.
Lin Suisui didn’t ask her to stay. She only arranged for Yin Qiao to send these gifts to Mrs. Luo’s home. At the same time, she didn’t forget to invite Fang Rui’er over for breakfast tomorrow.
