The old lady treated her children equally. To her, her children were her flesh and blood. Even if her daughter was married off in the future, she would still be her child.

Unfortunately, she was one of a kind in the village. Most of the families worked their daughters like cows and horses while treating their sons like pearls and treasures.

Moreover, as far as she knew, the villagers like Dazhu and Rong who helped Daya carry the dowry back only had daughters at the moment. Plus, their family had not split up. If they gave them pastries, their mothers would give those pastries to their nephews later on. How unpleasant would that be?

The old lady didn’t like such a practice. Either way, their family was the one giving out gifts this time, so naturally, they were in charge of what to give.

Shu Yu understood and smiled, “Alright, then Grandma, what should we give?

“Go buy some pork and candies.”

One could find an excuse that the pastries were for guests and thus hide them, not taking them out. However, meat would not last for two days. If they cooked the meat in the kitchen, the whole family would be able to smell it. They couldn’t possibly say in front of Dazhu and the others that they wouldn’t give the meat to their children, right? On top of that, the meat was earned by Dazhu and the others.

Other than that, candies could be given to children alone.

Since the old lady had a good idea, Shu Yu naturally had no objections.

It was still early. The two went to the market to buy some meat and candies before leaving the county in the mule carriage.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left the county, they saw someone walking in front of them. The other party was carrying a book basket and walking in a hurry.

Shu Yu found the figure somewhat familiar, but she only recognized the other party after the mule carriage was parallel to the person.

“Scholar Tang?”

She quickly pulled the reins and the mule carriage stopped.

Tang Wenqian turned his head and was quite surprised to see Shu Yu. He nodded slightly, “Miss Lu.”

The old lady lifted the curtains and looked over. Her face lit up, “Oh, it’s Wenqian. Are you going home?

“Yes, today is a resting day, so I can go back.”

The old lady waved at him, “Come on up then. We’ll give you a ride.”

Tang Wenqian shook his head subconsciously, “There’s no need for that. It’s not far. I can go back by myself.”

“What do you mean by that? Look at the book basket on your back. I can tell how heavy it is just by looking at it. We have to pass through several villages to get to Shangshi Village from here. It’s very far. Hurry up and come up. Last time, when Daya was in trouble, you even went along to help. Don’t tell me you don’t want us to express our gratitude? We can’t live with our consciences if that’s the case.”

Tang Wenqian was silent for a moment. Since the old lady had already said so much, it would be unreasonable for him to continue refusing.

Moreover, Lu Shuyu wasn’t the only one in the mule carriage. Even if he got on the carriage, no one would say anything.

Therefore, Tang Wenqian nodded, “I’ll have to trouble you, then.”

He thanked Shu Yu again before going up.

With the sudden addition of a man, the journey instantly became quiet.

The old lady liked Tang Wenqian and wanted to chat with him, but he was a scholar and the most knowledgeable person in the village. He rarely went out. In contrast, she was an old woman from the countryside What she could say were all trivial matters. They did not have a common topic at all. Rather, if she said too much, it would be annoying.

Therefore, the old lady was hesitant and could not find a topic to talk about.

Shu Yu, who was driving the mule carriage, could not help but laugh. Although the old lady was old, her personality was particularly cute.

She coughed lightly and asked Tang Wenqian, “Scholar Tang, I’d like to ask you something.”

Tang Wenqian was originally quite embarrassed, but he immediately straightened up when he heard that.

“What’s the matter?”
