"Well? Is it sold out?"

"No loss, right?"

As soon as they stepped in, they surrounded Grandpa Liu and spoke all at the same time.

Grandpa Liu laughed loudly, "Sold out! No loss!"

The people around also rippled with smiles at the news, genuinely happy for the Liu family.

"Liu Dalin, open a jar of fruit wine and give all these old blokes and ladies a taste!"

"Okay!"

This evening, wine and laughter abounded in the Liu courtyard.

Grandma Liu took her two daughters-in-law in the kitchen to cook, sometimes looking up to watch the lively scene outside, and sometimes looking down to see what her little granddaughter was up to at her feet, her eyes overflowing with satisfaction.

After sending off the last of their visitors, it was already dinner time, and the sky had already darkened.

"Wife, give me some silver later. I'll go to Li's house to return his ox cart and pay back what we owed for the jars along the way. It's been a long time. I guess he's worried about our business so he hasn't urged us to pay," Grandpa Liu said.

"Alright, just settle the money for the jars we ordered altogether. Their family hasn't got it easy either. A while ago, Ping's marriage was withdrawn," Grandma Liu sighed, "It's all because of poverty."

Grandpa Liu also sighed secretly.

Speaking of poverty, every family in Xinghua Village was poor. In the past, they could barely make a living. It was only in these two years that their rice fields have been bountiful. After paying taxes, they still had a lot of grain left, so everyone's life was a little better.

Two years ago, they wouldn't have dared to get sick because they couldn't afford the medicine. If they really were unlucky and got sick, they could only endure it. If they survived, they were lucky. But if not, it was God's will.

He took the silver and his precious granddaughter with him, and drove the ox cart leisurely to Li Da's family.

Whenever he went out in his spare time and his precious granddaughter was at home, Grandpa Liu was bound to take her with him.

Even if it was just a stroll around the house, listening to his granddaughter's delicate laughter would make his heart happy.

This time, they went just after dinner, so all of Li Da's family was there.

The couple, Li Da and Yang; their eldest son, Li Ping and their second son, Li An.

"Li Da, I brought your ox cart over, along with the money we owed you for the wine jars." At the door Grandpa Liu yelled.

"Come in, quickly. I just came back this evening, so it was too late to go to your house. I heard the villagers saying that your wine was sold out, so I'm also relieved." Li Da welcomed him in and helped bring the ox cart into the yard.

"I told you that my family's wine will definitely sell out. The wine jars we ordered at the beginning were too few. Hahaha." Cradling his granddaughter in his arms, the creases on Grandpa Liu's face stretched as he walked, "The rest of the wine at home has also been bought. With the 2000 jars that we ordered before, it's still insufficient, so you should burn another 1500."
