After his patrol, Chen Qing returned straight home to Mute Bay.
He pushed open the creaking cabin door and his eyes fell upon a pile of coarse cloth, rice, flour, pork, and cured fish in the corner.
Seeing the confusion on his face, Ms. Han smiled and explained, "They're all gifts from the neighbors. The coarse cloth is from the Gao Family, the five catties of flour are from your second uncle, the pork is from your great-aunt, the cured fish from Auntie Cuihua... I'm keeping a record of everything so we can repay the favors later."
She paused, then lowered her voice. "A steward from the Cheng Family brought ten taels, and the Tiger Gang also sent someone with five taels of silver."
Chen Qing nodded.
Although Xu Chengfeng was only a Little Gang Leader, he was a shrewd and smooth operator.
Hearing that Chen Qing had passed the Martial Arts Examination, he sent a generous gift to make a good impression.
