Chapter 1394 Breaking off the Engagement 43
The next day, Wang Hongwei had breakfast and went out again.
When she came back, she brought a big package, which contained a set of men's cotton trousers, cotton jacket, cotton shoes, a hat, a pair of gloves, and a scarf. It was for Shen Yuandong.
There were two sets of women's cotton jackets, cotton trousers and leather shoes, which were for Yuanchun.
There were also a few pieces of Dacron cloth, two bottles of vanishing cream, two bars of soap, two bottles of shampoo, two bottles of conditioner, a bright red silk scarf, and a few hair ties.
These are also for Yuanchun.
Huo Min asked Wang Hongwei to get it from the black market.
That black market was a joint venture between Huo Min and Wang Hongwei. However, Wang Hongwei didn't have much money at the time and only contributed 3% of the funds, but Huo Min gave him 10% of the shares, so Huo Min owned 90%.
A 10% profit is not a small amount. The money earned in one month is more than the annual salary of an ordinary worker.
For this, Wang Hongwei has always been grateful to Huo Min.
This time when Huo Min was injured, Wang Hongwei asked his mother to exchange a lot of eggs and old hens in the village to nourish Huo Min's body.
Shen Yuandong received a bunch of gifts. At first he was a little confused and didn't quite understand, "Brother Huo, are these... these clothes and shoes really for me?"
Huo Min was injured both front and back. He was lying on his side, his face facing Shen Yuandong. He smiled and nodded, "This is Xie Li, the gift I gave you."
Shen Yuandong scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "This...this thank-you gift is too much, Brother Huo, these cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded pants, and cotton-padded shoes are too expensive, I can't accept them. I'll accept the hat, gloves, and scarf, these are enough."
Huo Min smiled, "My life is very valuable. This little bit is not much compared to my life. Just accept it."
Seeing that his future brother-in-law was innocent and well-behaved, Huo Min loved him and said, "I've bought all the clothes for you to wear. If you don't want them, I won't be able to wear them even if I keep them."
Huo Min is tall, almost 1.9 meters tall, while Shen Yuandong is only 1.73 meters tall. The height difference between the two is too big.
Shen Yuandong accepted the gifts and secretly ran to the west room to tell his sister, but he saw that the end of Yuanchun's kang was also piled with clothes, daily necessities and food.
Shen Yuandong was stunned: "Sister, is this a gift from Brother Huo?"
"Ah."
"Sister, Brother Huo also gave me a cotton coat and cotton leather shoes. Sister, is it not good for us to accept so many gifts from Brother Huo?"
Saving Brother Huo was just a piece of cake, and he never thought about asking for any benefits, but since Brother Huo had already bought it, he couldn't refuse.
But after accepting it, he felt like he owed Brother Huo something.
Yuanchun smiled and said, "Huo Min's life is priceless. We saved him, so he gave us some gifts because he didn't want to owe us too much. If we don't accept them, he will feel uneasy."
"Yuan Dong, you have to remember that people should not owe favors easily."
"In this world, it is easy to repay debts of money, but it is hard to repay debts of favor, and even harder to repay the grace of saving a life."
"If I can pay back the favor of saving my life, no matter how much I spend, it is worth it. It is not easy to bear the debt of gratitude for a lifetime."
Shen Yuandong understood.
Next, Shen Yuandong would eat the milk candy, canned braised meat, old hen, white flour, noodles, etc. that Wang Hongwei brought back.
Every bite he eats will reduce the debt of gratitude Huo Min feels.
Of course, after Shen Yuandong ate other people's good things, he would also help take care of Huo Min. Every time Huo Min wanted to go to the toilet, he would run in front and actively help him get off the kang.
In the evening, he would also rush to prepare water for Huo Min to wash his feet.
He also took out a half-worn towel of his own and used it to wipe Huo Min's feet.
