Gu Lin stared at Lu Wujiu's retreating figure.

The bitterness at the corners of my mouth deepened.

"You're not good enough for her. Stop dreaming. Apologize now and go home!" Gu Lin said, leaving Gu Li completely stunned.

Is this her brother?

Back then, she liked Lu Wujiu, and her brother would try to get Lu Wujiu to look at her more. Later, because Lu Wujiu was too poor and had too many burdens, she didn't like him anymore and went to marry someone from the next village.

Lu Wujiu also married Su Jiaoniang.

Now that she's divorced, Su Jiaoniang is a widow, but why is Su Jiaoniang luckier than her?

At this moment, Gu Li had lost her mind and completely forgot that Lu Wujiu had never taken a liking to her and was only putting up with her because of Gu Lin's existence.

She glared angrily at Su Jiaoniang.

Even if Gu Lin didn't tell her, she knew that someone who was so beautiful and dressed so well must have a high social status.

It might just be that Mr. Gu.

Looking at Su Jiaoniang's eyes again, I felt something was off. This woman was so petty; she had lied to me earlier, saying that her man had left.

hehe!

It took her a while to suppress the jealousy in her eyes: "Sister Su, I'm sorry. I thought my brother had hit the bear during the day, which is why I argued with you. This is my apology!"

Gu Li spoke timidly, pushing the basket in her hand forward.

She had overheard Mr. Gu, who seemed like a god, say that he would return. During this time, she needed to please Su Jiaoniang and stay by her side at all times.

When the man returned, she devised a plan to make the handsome and unparalleled man take a liking to her.

Su Jiaoniang glanced at the eggs and animal hides in the basket.

A smile appeared on her lips: "You are such a good sister. Your brother is in such a state of health, what he should do is rest well and replenish his energy. Eggs are just right. If he could have fish soup and chicken soup every day, he would recover faster. How could I bear to make a sick person like you run around like this!"

Gu Lin felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Gu Li bit her lip and turned sharply to look at Gu Lin. This was her brother; what was wrong with him protecting her and listening to her?

"Brother, I..."

"It's okay, let's go home!" His arm had been pulled, causing his wound to reopen and become soaked with blood.

I need to go home and re-bandage myself; nothing else matters for now.

Gu Li nodded and followed Gu Lin out. The moment she stepped out the door, she immediately turned back and said, "Sister Su, I'll come over tomorrow to help you peel the persimmons. I'm sorry about what happened before."

Su Jiaoniang doesn't really need someone like Gu Li.

So many tricks up their sleeves.

What are you doing here? The others?

"No need!" Su Jiaoniang immediately refused, then glanced at Zhao Han who was leaning against the tree.

Zhao Han chuckled and closed the door.

Gu Li glanced back, a calculating glint in her eyes. Did she think she wouldn't come just because she wasn't told to? Of course not!

Zhao Han closed the door and walked up to Su Jiaoniang: "That woman doesn't seem simple. I'm afraid she won't listen to you!"

"It's like a dog's skin plaster!" Su Jiaoniang exclaimed.

She wouldn't let Gu Li have any contact with this courtyard; anyone with bad intentions was out of the question.

If she were alone in the yard, she might tease Gu Li a little to add some fun to life, but with two children at home, one wrong move could lead to...

"Is Madam Su worried about the safety of the two young masters? Why don't you buy a few strong and capable servants to accompany them?"

Zhao Han is good at reading people's expressions and demeanor.

He could see Su Jiaoniang's worry at a glance.

He knew very well that his master had already placed secret guards around the two children, and unless they were surrounded by hundreds of people, nothing would usually happen.

But can he say it?

My master is a strange person; he likes to do good deeds anonymously.

Shouldn't I speak out about what I've been doing at this time?

A young widow, moved by his love, readily offered herself to him.

It's strange to keep it hidden like this.

Do all masters love playing this guessing game?

"Uncle Zhao, what's wrong with your face? Are your eyes squished together because you're uncomfortable?" Little Ya hugged Erha Xiaobai and started playing in the yard.

The husky also likes children. When it stood up with the little girl, it looked just like a babysitter.

Zhao Han reached out and touched his own features. He was very handsome, but he liked to make strange expressions. When he made a face, his eyes would squint together.

"Let's eat!" With Su Jiaoniang's words, the group sat down at the small table again.

Holding chopsticks in her hand, Su Jiaoniang pondered Zhao Han's words: to buy a servant.

Human trafficking!

It would be illegal in later generations, but laws are subject to specific contexts and times. Just like the one-child policy, if there are too many people, having too many children is a crime. If there are too few people, then it is necessary to increase the population, and at that time, it is necessary to have more children.

People won't sell themselves unless they're in dire straits.

purchase!

After thinking for a while, Su Jiaoniang made up her mind.

At this very moment, Su Jiaoniang was still preparing soufflés. When Xiao Futu saw the soufflés, his face turned green.

Even the most delicious food can become tiresome over time.

The same goes for soufflés.

However, Su Jiaoniang would not change her decision to prepare soufflés for Xiao Futu. Only by eating them a few times would he remember.

Besides, soufflés are delicious, and many people want to eat them but can't.

Futu walked dejectedly towards the private school.

Passing by Old Lu's house, I saw Lu Congrong walking out of the village wearing a brand new outfit.

His intuition told him something was wrong, very wrong.

Previously, the Lu family sold Lu Dahai's shop to pay off Lu Dashan's gambling debts. At this moment, the second uncle and aunt are still working hard to earn money by going from street to street. How could the Lu family possibly have money to buy new clothes for Lu Congrong?
