Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu's cotton-padded jackets were sent back by Gu Ruhai that day, along with five yuan for their retirement. This year's grain had already been sold.
The grain payment had come in two days prior. In previous years, Mr. Gu would have already brought Mrs. Gu and Gu Rushan to visit by this time, but there had been no movement recently, probably because they were stunned by Gu Ruhai's last words.
So Li Xuemei asked Gu Ruhai to deliver it, to avoid the old couple coming to make trouble.
Carrying the two soft and thick cotton-padded jackets and the five yuan in his arms, Gu Ruhai felt warm inside.
His wife being so filial made his heart warm too.
He thought that if the old man and lady saw these clothes, maybe their faces would improve a bit, and they might be a little more lenient toward him. At least they shouldn't come with a scolding demeanor.
He felt a little better inside.
