Actually, buying things for Wang Shuqiu's family was the most challenging task.
The elderly couple, though one was quiet and the other a bit of a soft touch, were fundamentally honest farmers. Besides working and eating, her father-in-law had no other hobbies. Her mother-in-law was the same; aside from earning money for her younger brother, she had no other particular interests.
As for Zhao Xinfang, just buying a carton of cigarettes to take back would suffice.
Du Heng and Wang Shuqiu were in a bind: she urged him not to buy anything, while he didn't know what to get. Pressed by her, Du Heng eventually went to the supermarket and bought all sorts of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, then added three bags of fruit, stuffing the trunk full.
I'm not short on money now, so why agonize over it? Du Heng thought. Buying food and drinks to take back can't be wrong.
