Chapter 2637: Mission 23

Editor: Henyee Translations

She didn’t endorse spending money recklessly across two provinces.

She believed in using the money judiciously within her means.

At present, they had the necessary resources, and it was imperative to procure essential items.

Gu Chaoyan purchased some pork for meat, not in excess as there was no need. Recently, Auntie Lianhua had brought over a chicken, and upon her return, Gu Chaoyan could hunt as well. Therefore, a modest amount of pork sufficed.

Additionally, she picked up some snacks for Danxia and Dandong, anticipating their liking.

After a thorough shopping session, Gu Chaoyan found that there wasn’t much to buy. Food and beverages were easily obtainable, and a few clothes were sufficient. They could wait until they had more free time to make custom clothes.

The day progressed smoothly. Gu Chaoyan returned home early, and the shopping excursion took less time than expected.

Upon her return, she brought many items with her.

While sitting on the ox cart, discussions ensued, but Gu Chaoyan chose to ignore them. However, she made a mental note to add a wagon to the household. Apart from the convenience, it would allow her to avoid meddling neighbors. Though money was currently scarce, planning for it in the future was a viable option.

As she approached home, Gu Chaoyan sensed something amiss. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a group of people gathered around the house, engaged in what seemed like a heated argument.

Sure enough…

As Gu Chaoyan approached, she recognized the people from the old house.

Yan Tieniu and his daughter, Yan Jinhua, were among them. Yan Jinhua tightly held something in her hand.

Gu Chaoyan returned and questioned directly, “Danxia, what’s going on?”

Yan Danxia’s eyes were slightly red, revealing a sense of being bullied and wronged.

“Yan Jinhua stole my clothes. Those are my favorite clothes,” Yan Danxia reluctantly explained.

“How is it stealing? Don’t you have plenty of clothes? If Jinhua likes it, can’t you just give it to her? After all, Jinhua is still your cousin,” Yan Tieniu asserted confidently.

“Give it back to her!” Gu Chaoyan’s voice resonated with anger.

She wondered what could make Danxia feel so aggrieved.

Now she understood.

The people from the second branch of the Yan Family were truly shameless, even resorting to snatching clothes.

Ms. Wang attempted to make peace, thinking it was just clothes. It was acceptable if Danxia gave it up, but it would be best if nothing else happened. She subtly hinted at Ms. Wang with her eyes.

However, Gu Chaoyan did not comply.

“Jinhua likes it. Why be so petty? Moreover, Jinhua should dress better for herself. Are you jealous of our Jinhua?” Yan Tieniu was agitated, showing reluctance to return the clothes. He could say anything to defend his actions.

“Give it back to her!” Gu Chaoyan reiterated.

Ms. Wang attempted to intervene, but Yan Jinhua clung even tighter to the clothes, unwilling to return them.

Gu Chaoyan picked up a branch from the ground and tapped Yan Jinhua’s hand, causing her to release the clothes in pain. Gu Chaoyan took them back and handed them to Danxia, saying, “What’s yours is yours. If you want to give it to her, we’ll willingly give it. If not, no one can take it away. I’m here to help you.”
