Chapter 24: Meeting Zeng Sibai Again

Two days later at noon.

After dinner, Gu Leyou helped to clean up the dishes.

Mother and daughter were washing dishes in the kitchen.

Lin praised the hunter.

"My daughter, don't listen to your father's nonsense. I think the hunter is a good man. You won't suffer if you marry him. Besides, the child is pitiful. He got sick at such a young age. You should live a good life with him after you marry him. I believe you will live a happy life."

Gu Leyou never expected that Lin's attitude had changed 180 degrees since she last met the hunter. She even praised her future husband in front of her.

To adjust the atmosphere.

Gu Leyou teased Lin.

"Mother, weren't you and father very opposed to my marrying Brother Lu? How come your attitude has changed so much after just meeting him once?"

"I was against it before, but times have changed now. I think he is a handsome man and must be a gentleman." Lin answered while washing dishes.

It seems that parents have similar criteria for their future sons-in-law.

If it were in modern times, her parents would probably say the same thing.

She has to go out again in the afternoon.

But you still need to seek your parents' advice.

"Mom, Dad has gone to the fields. Can I go out this afternoon and buy some books for my brother?"

"You are going out again. If your grandmother sees you, she will scold you again. And if your father knows, he will definitely be unhappy." Lin couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry, mother. Grandma won't know. She is just hoping that time will pass faster so that I can get married sooner so that she can get the money."

Lin was a little confused.

"How do you know that?"

"Mom, you are so confused. This is an obvious thing. Otherwise, why would the nanny come to our house every few days? She is afraid that I will cause trouble again, and then she won't get paid if things go wrong." Gu Leyou said.

Lin suddenly realized.

"Then you should go early and come back early. It's safe for a girl to go to town alone like this."

"Okay, mom."

After Gu Leyou helped put the bowls in the cupboard, he changed his clothes and went out again.

Their house is quite far from the village entrance, so we have to go there early, otherwise we will not be able to get back in time before dark.

There were people all along the way from their home to the village entrance, and she took the initiative to greet them warmly.

At this time, there were a few aunties at the entrance of the village chatting.

After seeing her coming over, he shifted his gaze to her again.

"Look, the second daughter of the old Gu family has run out again. Where do you think she is going?"

"I remember that the old lady didn't let her go out?"

"This is a troublesome girl. If your parents told you not to go out, you really would not go out and stay at home obediently."

"I'm telling you, if that girl from our family doesn't listen to me and sneaks out, I will definitely break her legs in a rage and make sure she can never leave the house again."

…

Gu Leyou took these words to heart. If these great gods had nothing to do in the afternoon, they would sit under a big tree at the entrance of the village in groups of three or five, gossiping about other people.

Gossip about the Dong family and the Li family.

She is no longer surprised.

However, out of politeness, she took the initiative to greet the group of people.

However, it may be unlikely to change this group of people's opinion of her.

Because in the stereotype of this group of people, she is an unruly girl.

When she reached the entrance of the village, she met Brother Zhang from the neighboring village.

Brother Zhang was driving a donkey cart, not knowing where he was going. When he saw her, he took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello Leyou, long time no see. Where are you going?" asked Brother Zhang.

"I'm going to the market, to the bookstore, to buy some books for my brother. Brother Zhang, where are you going? Is it convenient? Give me a ride."

"That's perfect. I want to go to town too. The market is very busy these days. I want to buy some things for my wife and some fish food. I'm going to go fishing in the river tomorrow morning." Brother Zhang explained.

"OK."

So she took a ride with Brother Zhang from the neighboring village and went to the town.

This brother Zhang is a simple and honest man. He is fat and loves his wife very much.

Mrs. Zhang is also a virtuous sister-in-law. They got married early and their child is now three or four years old.

However, they are from neighboring villages, so if they want to go to the town, they have to pass by them. Therefore, every time Gu Leyou wants to go to the town, he has to try his luck. If he can meet Brother Zhang, he can take a ride on his donkey cart.

About half an hour later.

They arrived in town.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. I'll go shopping first."

After saying that, she got out of the car.

She was going to the bookstore.

But the bookstore is quite far away.

Generally, only those who read will buy books.

When she arrived at the door of the bookstore, looked at the plaque above the door, and saw that there were only a few people in the store, she was sure that she had come to the right place.

She walked in and looked at the dazzling array of books, not knowing which one to choose.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over and asked, "What book do you want to buy, young lady?"

"Shopkeeper, can you give me some books that readers like to read?"

"Okay, wait a moment, girl. I'll find it for you right away."

Although there are many books here, they are all written in traditional Chinese characters, and Gu Leyou still can't recognize some of them.

So if you want to buy a book, you have to seek help from others, otherwise you won’t be able to buy it.

The shopkeeper brought several books to Gu Leyou.

"Girl, these are the books that readers usually like to buy the most, especially this one, which has a lot of people buying it, so you can also buy this one."

Gu Leyou picked up the book and read it.

Finally, he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Boss, please pack up these books for me. I want them all."

Although she couldn't understand the words on it, her brother must be able to understand it.

The shopkeeper took the money from her and agreed readily.

"Okay girl, I'll wrap it up for you right away."

After a while, the shopkeeper packed the books for Gu Leyou.

Gu Leyou was holding the book. After thanking the shopkeeper, he picked up the book and walked out.

But at this time an uninvited guest came to the store.

When the other party saw him, he was also surprised.

"Hey, isn't this my fiancée who broke off the engagement? I heard that she's going to marry that hunter, it should be soon, why isn't she staying at home, what is she doing out here? Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

Gu Leyou rolled her eyes at him and walked away without paying any attention to him.

Zeng Sibai walked into the bookstore, looking very arrogant, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, where is the book I want? Bring it to me."

The shopkeeper was annoyed when he saw him, because this person came to buy many times, but every time when it was time to pay, he said he didn't want it.

So the shopkeeper didn't like him very much.
