Whether or not Shen Weimin's philosophy on dealing with relatives made sense, Xu Changqing decided to accept his well-intentioned advice: she had to learn to be more thick-skinned.
In truth, it wasn't as if she could refuse. Times had changed. Even though she didn't want to be indebted to anyone, her relatives now proactively offered her plenty of help.
At dawn the next day, she, Shen Weimin, and He Youfeng—who had once again come from the Provincial City—met as planned in the woods near Qingshan Village. They brought back three piglets and two lambs.
Of course, the main reason for He Youfeng's visit was the watches. Perhaps having gotten a taste of the profits, this time he did more than just bring the payment for the second batch of five refurbished watches.
He also brought ten more scrapped watches and some components for assembling radios. However, with the spring planting season underway, Xu Changqing wouldn't have time for any of that in the near future.
