Gu Yunshuang was stunned to see all this!

“This… where have all these things come from?”

Mo Beihan laughed. “I asked my friends to help me gather these things. There are plenty of such things in the city, but they are rare in the countryside, so I brought some back to share with everyone. They just arrived today.”

Gu Yunshuang was rather embarra.s.sed. These items were too expensive.

But before Gu Yunshuang could say anything, Gu Qingyao picked up her new jacket. “Look, Younger Aunt, isn't this nice?”

Gu Yunshuang paused. Her eyes immediately lit up!

She could tell at a glance that the material was of good quality, and the colors were lovely.

“Very nice, the color suits young girls like you.”

Gu Qingyao smiled gleefully. “Brother Beihan asked someone to make this for me. It's quite nice! And it fits well!

“There's more new material in there! I'll make one for Ting Ting as well so that she'll have new clothes for the new year.”

Gu Yunshuang hurriedly waved her aside. “No need. Ting Ting has enough clothes. You've made so many clothes for her over the past year. The girl is growing now, not like you. You can wear an item for many years, but it'll be wasted on her.”

Gu Yunshuang was very grateful to her niece.

She was the one who had brought her back from the Li family and had even taught her daughter to read and write. Over the past year, Gu Qingyao had made many clothes for Gu Fangting, including a quilted jacket, a woolen jacket, a coat and shoes. She had everything.

She knew that Gu Qingyao had plenty of money. Gu Jinlin told her that Mo Beihan doted on her and continued to give the girl money, even when he was in the provincial capital. Gu Qingyao had plenty of nice things and would often remember her and Gu Fangting. She was even wearing two articles of clothing that her niece had made for her!

Gu Qingyao bought the material and had it made in the city before sending it over.

The longer she stayed with her parents, the more she understood why the family doted on Gu Qingyao. It wasn't just because she used to be the only girl in the family, but because the girl was genuinely likable.

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Why would it be wasted? All girls like having new clothes. When she outgrows them, we can alter them, or give them to someone else to wear.

“Anyway, Brother Beihan bought these things. We might as well use them.”

Gu Yunshuang glared at her. “Girl, how can you talk like that!”

But Mo Beihan only looked at his girl dotingly. “Younger Aunt, don't worry. These things are all for Yao Yao. She can do whatever she likes with them.

“In any case, Ting Ting is my younger cousin too. So what if I give her some material to make clothes? When I have nice things in the future, I'll send more back. As for the children, Little Six and Little Nine will have their share as well.”

His coaxing words filled Gu Yunshuang with warmth. She couldn't stop smiling.

At that moment, Gu Fangting came home in a daze, looking like a wraith.

Gu Yunshuang jumped in fright when she saw her!

“Ting Ting? What… what happened to you?”

Gu Fangting looked at Gu Qingyao and her little face looked agonized as she thought of her three terrifying cousins.

“The older cousins are too terrifying, especially Second Cousin. My G.o.d, he wants to transform me into a child prodigy! We had an entire afternoon of lessons in which we kept learning continually. I'm dizzy now.”

Gu Yunshuang: “…”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

Gu Qingyao saw that Gu Fangting did indeed look exhausted, so she asked, “What are they doing? Why are they so concerned about your studies?”

Gu Fangting looked at Gu Qingyao piteously.
