Chapter 225: Why Shouldn't I...They Owe Me
In the late morning, Zhao Qinqin was doing laundry at home. It was the weekend, so she didn't have to go to work. She called her two children to take a bath and change into clean clothes. Since they had some time, they all washed together.
The sun was scorching in the summer, so the clothes wouldn't take long to dry. The children would still be able to wear these clean clothes for school tomorrow.
After her eldest son finished bathing and changed clothes, he ran out to play. Her youngest daughter, Yuanyuan, with half-wet hair, squatted beside her mother, eagerly helping her by passing things.
When it came to washing her little skirt, the little girl said softly, "Mom, be gentle, don't ruin my skirt."
Zhao Qinqin chuckled, and although she lightened her grip, she didn't dare to scrub too hard on the washboard, just rubbing it lightly with her hands a few times.
After washing, Zhao Qinqin used her foam-covered hand to tap her daughter's nose lightly, leaving a white mark on her nose. "Do you remember who bought you this little skirt?"
"I remember!" Yuanyuan exclaimed, "It was Aunt Xiaohua, and the little leather shoes too. Aunt Xiaohua bought them. They were delicious and sweet. And the school bag was bought by Uncle Chenchen."
Zhao Qinqin said, "So when you grow up, you should also be filial to Uncle and Auntie, do you know?"
"I know!" the little girl nodded vigorously. "I'll buy lots and lots of candies and share them with Uncle and Auntie."
"You're so good," Zhao Qinqin praised her daughter with a smile.
Over the years, their family has received a lot of things sent by Chen Xiaohua and Xiang Chen. In the past few years, Chen Xiaohua's situation wasn't very good, and it was inconvenient for Xiang Chen to come and go from the countryside, so their interactions were relatively few.
Later, Chen Xiaohua's salary increased, and their welfare improved, so they sent quite a lot of things to Zhao Qinqin's family. When Xiang Chen also went to the capital and had more money on hand, they often sent things to familiar people.
Food, drinks, and daily necessities were not only sent to Zhao Qinqin's family by Xiang Chen but also to the other well-off people in Dahe Village, such as Jiang Miao's family and Gao Yang's family. People from all over the place received a pile of things every time they went to the post office.
A few years ago, when Zhao Qinqin got married, Xiang Chen and Chen Xiaohua were still in the countryside and missed the event. They only sent a gift later. Afterward, when their two children were born, Xiang Chen didn't skimp on sending things for the children to use.
Grandma Zhao is old but very clear-minded. She knows that Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou are repaying their family for the help they provided to them in the past. She privately told her family members that Xiang Chen and Chen Xiaohua didn't owe their family anything, and that they shouldn't take their kindness for granted.
When things are sent over, it's a heartfelt gesture from Xiang Chen. While they accept them, they should remember not to take advantage of others. Whenever Grandma Zhao has some free time, she also makes some cloth shoes. She remembers that Xiang Chen likes to wear them for foot health. Or if relatives from their hometown send some game meat, she'll prepare and send it together with the cured meat to Xiang Chen.
