The next day, after the Gu family had breakfast, Bai Chong and his wife sent Bai Jingzhou to deliver Dragon Boat Festival gifts to the Gu family before everyone went out to work.

Bai Jingzhou brought a piece of fine gauze, a piece of pork belly, two river fish, two bags of brown sugar, two packages of cakes, and ten kilograms of glutinous rice. The amount of gifts he brought was definitely the highest among all the prospective sons-in-law in Baijia Village.

The Gu family secretly thanked themselves for having made preparations in advance. The others invited Bai Jingzhou to have tea and snacks, while Li and Jia Guizhi quickly picked out things they had at home as return gifts to the Bai family.

Two pieces of fine gauze donated by Lin Shuzhen, two strips of dried bacon sent by Gu Wenxuan's grandmother, ten kilograms of millet, two kilograms of red dates, and twenty fresh eggs laid by the family's hens filled a backpack. Then, two wild rabbits that Gu Wenxuan and the other two had caught yesterday were tied with straw ropes and Bai Jingzhou was asked to carry them home later.

Bai Jingzhou didn't expect the Gu family to prepare so many return gifts for his family. He was surprised and touched. "Grandma, aunt, this, this is too much."

Jia Guizhi stuffed the rope tied to the rabbit into his hand and said, "What do you mean by too much? I haven't said anything to you yet. You should have taken Wenxuan to the town and spent two cents to buy her a bun. Why did you buy some for the rest of us as well? And the hatchet..."

"Mother!" Gu Wenxuan quickly interrupted Jia Guizhi's habitual preaching, "I've already bought it, what's the point of you saying this now? If you feel sorry for Jingzhou's money, why not let me go up the mountain two more times? When I earn money, I will naturally make up for the money he spent."

Jia Guizhi was furious. "How dare you say that! Why didn't you stop him when Jingzhou wanted to buy it yesterday? And you're going up the mountain? Don't even think about it!"

Bai Jingzhou hurried out to smooth things over, "Aunt, Wenxuan stopped me, and I didn't listen to her."

Gu Yongming pulled his wife's wrist hard, coaxing her in a low voice, "Alright, alright, this is a matter between an unmarried couple, as parents we should not interfere."

He was so happy that his future son-in-law was so kind to his daughter. At worst, he would go to the mountain more often and send more pheasants, rabbits, etc. to the Bai family. In short, he would just make sure that the Bai family would not suffer any loss.

Li and the others were also very happy that Bai Jingzhou defended Gu Wenxuan. Li said, "Jingzhou, you are good to Wenxuan, of course we are happy for her, but your parents don't make money easily, you should be more careful with your spending in the future."

Bai Jingzhou nodded, with "well-behaved" written all over his body. He said, "Grandma, I will work hard to earn money in the future, and then use the money I earn to buy things for Wenxuan."

Li smiled from ear to ear, praising Bai Jingzhou repeatedly, "Good boy, what a good boy."

Bai Jingzhou pursed his lips a little embarrassedly, "Grandma, please don't think I'm useless. I'm still young, and there are not many people willing to see me for treatment, but I can go up the mountain to collect herbs, prepare them, and then sell them to the county town."

Li was startled, "You want to go into the mountains?"

The other members of the Gu family also looked over at once.

Bai Jingzhou nodded slightly, "As doctors, we cannot do without medicine. No matter what the world is like, my father and I will definitely go into the mountains to collect herbs."

The Gu family fell silent.

Yes, they could stop Gu Wenxuan from going up the mountain, but her fiancé and her fiancé’s father had to go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs no matter what.

Bai Jingzhou smiled and comforted everyone, "I'm already learning martial arts from Wenxuan. Once I learn it, I won't be afraid of encountering bad guys."

Everyone remained silent. Is it so easy to practice martial arts?

Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, a couple, have been teaching Gu Wenxuan martial arts since she was six or seven years old. Now she is thirteen years old and has made some achievements in martial arts, but they are still worried about her going into the mountains alone, not to mention that Bai Jingzhou is going to start practicing from now on...

While no one was paying attention, Gu Wenxuan quickly exchanged a knowing look with Bai Jingzhou and said, "When I become more powerful, I will go into the mountains with you."

Gu Family: ...

Jia Guizhi really wanted to scold her daughter, but when she thought that Bai Jingzhou was her future son-in-law, she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

What she didn't know was that this was exactly what Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan wanted.

Gu Wenxuan needs a certain degree of freedom, otherwise it will be difficult for her to get enough money to support her in doing what she wants.

Bai Jingzhou said this today in order to allow Jia Guizhi to relax her control over Gu Wenxuan a little.

When Bai Jingzhou left with the return gift, Jia Guizhi glared at her audacious daughter and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to go up the mountain alone?"

Gu Wenxuan looked innocent and said, "I didn't go up the mountain alone." She didn't go up the mountain now, and she would go with Bai Jingzhou in the future. How could this be called "going up the mountain alone"?

Jia Guizhi was speechless for a moment, and Gu Yongming spoke for his wife, "Your mother means that if you want to go into the mountains again in the future, you must be accompanied by me and your mother."

Gu Wenxuan shook her head, "Dad, Mom, this is impossible. I want to hunt more, make more money, and send my brothers to school."

After she said this, Jia Guizhi no longer had the heart to scold her.

Her daughter has always been working hard for their family.

Jia Guizhi turned away and secretly wiped her tears. Gu Wenxuan struck while the iron was hot and said to Gu Yongming: "Dad, how about this, when I can beat you and my mother, you and my mother will allow me to move freely."

Gu Yongming's eyes were slightly red. He was feeling soft-hearted at the moment, and when he heard Gu Wenxuan say that, he responded "Okay" without hesitation.

Jia Guizhi did not object. In her opinion, at least within three years, Gu Wenxuan would not be able to defeat her or Gu Yongming.

And three years later, Gu Wenxuan would most likely have married into the Bai family. By then, it would be impossible for her to continue to restrain Gu Wenxuan even if she wanted to.

"Then let's make it clear, Dad and Mom, you can't deny your debt!" Gu Wenxuan said, turning her gaze to her grandparents, second uncle, second aunt, and four younger brothers, "Grandpa and grandma, you are all my witnesses."

Everyone laughed together. Li wiped her tears and said to Gu Wenxuan in a gentle voice, "Okay, grandma, your grandfather, your second uncle and your second aunt will testify for you."

A few little ones came over unwillingly, "We too, will testify for Big Sister!"

Gu Wenxuan patted the heads of his brothers and said, "Okay, everyone, come and testify for me."

Jia Guizhi was both angry and amused, "You said that as if your father and I would default on our debts!"

Gu Wenxuan smiled but said nothing. She thought to herself, I am just afraid that you will default on your debt.

After all, the speed at which she "surpassed" her parents was definitely far beyond the Gu family's imagination.

From that day on, Gu Wenxuan began to go to the town frequently, and she took Bai Jingzhou with her every time.

The Gu family and the Bai family were very puzzled as to what the two were up to, but the two of them kept their mouths shut and refused to tell anyone the inside story.
