The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 258 What a lavish gift!
Chiding had considered many possibilities, such as Xiao Ayu opening the box, seeing the gifts inside, and being so happy she was completely overjoyed.

Perhaps Xiao Ayu didn't like the gifts, but still happily accepted them.

Or perhaps they didn't understand what those things were, so they explained them one by one.

The only thing I never expected was that she would refuse to accept the package without even opening it.

Chiding was not good with words, and for a moment he really didn't know how to respond to Xiao Ayu's words.

Even Liu thought that the box looked valuable, and who knows what was inside.

Little Ayu is too young. She'd better not accept such a great blessing. What if she can't handle it?
Now that Ayu's guardian angel is gone, they have to be even more careful in everything they do.

At this moment, Red Hare appeared out of nowhere and said in a serious tone, "Ayu, the young master is giving you a gift now because he wants you to give it to him next year for his birthday. If you don't accept it now, he will definitely think that you don't want to give him a gift either."

Little Ayu's eyes were full of confusion, but that's not what she meant.

Chitu pretended not to understand Xiao Ayu's eyes, and continued, amidst Chiding's bewildered expression, "Before, you and the young master were close, and you could say whatever you wanted on the spot. But our young master has had a difficult life since childhood, and the people around him haven't treated him well either, which has made him very sensitive."

Little Ayu opened her mouth wide. Is Brother Ayou really that pitiful?

"The young master is far away from you now, and he may not be able to come back for a while. You are his only friend. He is so afraid of losing you that he wants to give you a gift, and he is waiting for you to give it to him next year. If you don't accept it now, the young master will think that you don't want to be friends with him, and he might be very sad."

Red Hare has a kind face and usually stays in the shadows, only appearing when absolutely necessary.

He either doesn't speak at all, or when he does, he only gets to the point.

The main reason is that when he said that, even Chiding thought it made sense.

Although their young master was doing quite well in the Duke's mansion, everyone knew that his identity was somewhat sensitive. In addition, the young master was naturally intelligent and vaguely knew something about his background. Furthermore, his wife never allowed him to appear in public, and the Duke of Yong was a rough and uncouth man who raised the young master to be very cold and aloof.

But the young master was already in poor health and didn't have much time left, so the concern people showed him seemed superficial.

How could the young master not overthink this?

Not to mention the young master, even those who take care of him feel very sorry for him.

Overall, the young master was indeed not doing well, at least not mentally.

Liu was also skeptical at first, feeling that there was something wrong with what Chitu said.

It's easy to imagine that the young master they're talking about is that little boy, Qin Huai, and it all seems perfectly reasonable.

How complicated can a child's mind be?
Back then, when Qin Huai went to Hujia Village, he was indeed cold and unfriendly, ignoring everyone who spoke to him, except for his daughter Ayu, with whom he could exchange a few words.

Later, he became more talkative, but he still didn't like to laugh.

Did that child really have a hard life?

It's true that even wealthy people have their troubles.

"Then...then I'll accept it." Little Ayu didn't know anything about whether it was valuable or not; she just thought that since her brother Ayou had given her such a big box this year, she should give him an even bigger box next year.

That way, Brother Ayou will know that Ayu is a very loyal friend who will never abandon him or forget him!

Chi Ding gave Chi Tu an admiring look from his side, and Chi Tu silently retreated into the shadows, concealing his merits and fame.

Wang Wulang and his children were already impatient to see what was inside the box.

Upon opening it, they found two letters lying on the top layer.

One letter was addressed to Ayu, while the other was to be given to Old Mrs. Wang.

Because this gift was delivered urgently by a large group of experts, it was inevitably bumpy, so no fragile items were included.

Picking up the two letters, I saw several small boxes on the outside, each containing items suitable for children, such as hairpins, silk flowers, hair ornaments, and jade rings. Another small box contained several longevity locks and necklaces.

Underneath the box were several sets of ready-made clothes, all made to Xiao Ayu's size—one for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each covered with a flowing gauze overlay. Under the lantern light and moonlight, the clothes appeared even more extraordinary. "Wow, what beautiful clothes!" Xiao Ayu was now a vain little girl, and she loved these pretty clothes the most.

The outfit she wore today was made for her by Ma Shi two weeks in advance, and she showed it off to her friends.

Liu became nervous instead: "These clothes are too good..."

"Don't worry, Madam Liu. These clothes are all the current styles in Wanning City. Ordinary people can wear them. The materials and tailoring are all in accordance with regulations. It won't be a problem for Ayu to wear them."

Below that are several bolts of fabric, clearly made from the same material as the clothes.

"These fabrics were prepared by the young master for Ayu. If Ayu doesn't like the ready-made clothes, she can ask Madam Ma to help her tailor a few that she likes."

The more she looked, the more uneasy Liu felt.

This box must be quite valuable. Not to mention anything else, just the gold and jade inlaid items in that small box alone could fetch several taels of silver in a jewelry shop.

Giving this as a birthday gift to a child goes beyond just being expensive.

It's ridiculously expensive.

Even though the Wang family now has some wealth, they are terrified of poverty and never imagined giving Xiao Ayu so much.

The child is so young, what if using so many nice things brings bad luck to them?
Little Ayu really liked those things, and Liu couldn't make up her mind, so she had to go to Old Madam Wang again.

After hearing this, Grandma Wang didn't go to the yard to check. She just casually said, "That's the children's own business. Adults shouldn't interfere. If he wants to send it, let him. If he doesn't want to send it in the future, don't blame him."

Giving a gift is a favor, not giving one is one's right. One shouldn't feel resentful if someone gives an expensive gift this time and then gives a cheaper one next time, or if no gift is given at all.

Liu hurriedly said, "Mother, what are you saying? Your daughter-in-law is not that kind of person."

“Those are the friends the child made herself, so don’t interfere further. It’s getting late, help Ayu wash up and go to sleep.”

Meanwhile, Xiao Ayu's suitcase was moved into the room.

Wang Wulang and the others were initially envious, but Xiao Ayu said, "These were specially given to me by Brother Ayou, so I can't give them to my brothers. How about I buy gifts for my brothers when I get my new monthly allowance?"

Wang Wulang blushed and said, "I don't want them. These are for little girls."

But looking at Xiao Ayu's excited expression, Wang Wulang muttered to himself.

It seems that his little sister Ayu really likes these sparkly things, so he should save up more money to buy them for her in the future.

To prevent my sister from being tricked by outsiders.

Thinking this, he pulled Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang to go to sleep.

With the addition of several boys to the house, they no longer lived with the adults, but instead had their own small courtyard.

There are two large rooms in the courtyard, each containing a large bed that is ten feet wide.

Grandma Wang bought an extra bed. It was more than enough for them.

When Liu returned, she was horrified to see that they had already moved the boxes to Xiao Ayu's room. She thought about moving them to the storeroom for her.

"Your room is too small; it's easy to lose things if you put them here."

Little Ayu said, "It's okay, I won't put it here."

After saying that, Xiao Ayu waved her little hand, and a large box disappeared into thin air.

Liu: "..." I almost forgot again. Although the immortal has left, the things he left for Ayu are still there.

There is no safer place than there.
