Chapter 455: Grain Street Boss
Xing Jian smiled and said, "Reply! Sister Gu, don't worry. As long as he is really in Feng City, I will definitely send you the news tomorrow!"
If Song Jinan could really get rid of Cai Lan and Liulichang, he would apologize for beating him up. Of course, he just expressed his apology in his heart, but he couldn't really say it out loud, otherwise, wouldn't he be exposing his identity as an accomplice?
It’s not that he was afraid of Song Jinan’s revenge, but he had set up a big business now and there was really no way to deal with him.
When the two returned to the grain street, Lao Qi and his men had already transported all the grain over. There were flocks of chickens and rabbits, and so many eggs that they could be piled up into a mountain, not to mention the raw grain that took up most of the warehouse.
Xing Jian said with emotion: "Sister Gu, you are really amazing. You got so much food just by saying so. It must be a difficult task to transport it here. With so much food, we can last for another ten days or half a month."
Gu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow: "Ten days or half a month? Tsk, I may not have time to come by then."
She still had to wait for Yan Shaoyu at home. What if he completed his mission and went home, and she happened to come to Feng City and missed him?
Xing Jian thought about it and realized that it was true. He said, "Sister Gu, please leave me your address. I can bring people over to deliver it when the time comes."
Although it is a bit troublesome, after all, they are staying in the Grain Street. In case there is not enough food, there is still a place they can go to notify, and they will not be left in the dark and can only wait for Gu Yuehuai to come and deliver food.
Gu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and said, "Zhoulan City, Qing'an County, Dalaozi Production Brigade, you can go there and ask directly. But I will go to Huaihai City in a while, and if I really go there, you won't be able to notify me. So, when the food is running out, just put it in the newspaper, and I will come over when I see it."
Xing Jian sighed, "It's the only way. By the way, last time I heard you say you were going to get married, don't forget to invite me when you hold the wedding. After all, I am your little brother, right? I have to go and show my support."
At this point, Xing Jian made a face with a gossipy and vulgar look, which greatly reduced the charm of his handsome face.
Gu Yuehuai held his forehead with his hand: "Give me the evidence of Cai Lan's crime, I will come again tomorrow morning, and we will meet directly at the entrance of Liang Street."
Xing Jian nodded: "Okay! I'll take you back to the guesthouse first."
The two left Liang Street, and Xing Jian sent Gu Yuehuai to the guesthouse. Before she entered, she saw Gu Xihuai sitting at the door of the guesthouse waiting. He was looking at her seriously with an ugly expression.
Gu Yuehuai's mouth twitched: "Third brother, what are you doing sitting here? Come on, go in."
Xing Jian turned his head carefully and immediately saw Gu Xihuai staring at him sharply. His eyelids twitched and he whispered to Gu Yuehuai, "Sister Gu, I'm leaving first, leaving now!"
After saying this, he didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away.
Gu Xihuai stared coldly at the direction where Xing Jian ran away, until he was out of sight, then he turned to look at Gu Yuehuai. As an elder brother, he really couldn't stand his sister flirting with other boys outside. It had only been a short time since she came here, and she was already running outside all day?
He originally thought that Gu Yuehuai's personality had changed a lot since she lost weight, but now it seems that no one is perfect and she still has her own flaws. She has already obtained the marriage certificate with Yan Shaoyu, but she still appears with another man late at night. Is this appropriate?
Thinking of this, Gu Xihuai shouted coldly: "Come back with me! I have something to tell you!"
Gu Yuehuai looked at Gu Xihuai's furious back, rubbed his forehead, and felt a little headache.
Of course she knew what Gu Xihuai was thinking, but she had lived for so long that she really couldn't understand the shy feelings between men and women in this era when they just looked at each other. When she was with Xing Jian, she just thought of herself as the big sister.
Besides, contacting her at night was really a helpless act, and it can't be blamed on her!
No matter what she thought, Gu Yuehuai still followed Gu Xihuai's footsteps. It was useless to say so much. She still had to calm her brother's anger as soon as possible. As for how to explain it, she already had an excuse.
Gu Xihuai returned to his room, and Gu Yuehuai followed him in tactfully.
"Tell me, what's going on." Gu Xihuai sat on the thin bed, counted the bags of grain he bought today, and then looked at Gu Yuehuai. At this time, his anger had subsided a little, but he still wanted an explanation.
He knew Gu Yuehuai very well. If she really wanted to change a man, she would not do it in secret.
Gu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and said, "Last time, when I went to Huaihai City, I met a human trafficker in Feng City. He abducted me and I met this person. His name is Xing Jian. His family used to be officials, but later fell into poverty. He saved me."
After Xing Jian reached an agreement with her, he let her go. In that sense, it can be considered as saving her... right?
"What? Human traffickers? Why didn't you tell the truth about this matter?" Gu Xihuai was shocked when he heard this. He had encountered such situations many times along the way and he knew exactly what would happen to women when they were abducted.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's not important. Don't you want to hear an explanation?"
Gu Xihuai shook his head with a heavy face: "How is this not important? Gu Yuehuai, Gu Yuehuai, you are so brave. You even hid such a big thing from Dad, me and my elder brother. What else would you not dare to do?"
Gu Yuehuai's eyelids twitched: "Third brother, do you still want to listen? Today is not the time to scold me."
"Everyone knows that he saved you, so what else is there to say? You came here specially this time, either to buy food or to thank him, right?" Gu Xihuai glared at her unhappily with an expression that showed he had seen through everything.
He added: "If you had told me earlier, we could have just treated him to a meal together. Why are you doing this in secret?"
Gu Yuehuai said seriously: "It's not sneaky, it's serious business."
Gu Xihuai smiled with a fake smile on his face, and said, "Oh? Then tell me, what's the matter?"
Gu Yuehuai was no longer in a hurry to speak. She sat down slowly and picked up the thermos to pour herself a glass of water. However, she was used to drinking space well water, so this ordinary boiled water was tasteless. After a while, she said, "Grain Street, is this considered business?"
Gu Xihuai's heart skipped a beat and he asked suspiciously, "Grain Street? What does this have to do with Grain Street?"
"You may not know this, but Xing Jian is the boss of Liang Street."
After the words fell, the room fell into silence. Gu Xihuai stared at Gu Yuehuai without blinking: "Are you serious?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded and said, "Well, the last time I came to Huaihai City was to sell the jewelry left by my grandmother. You should know that I made a lot of money at that time. Later, Xing Jianyi and I discussed that we could do business. In the end, I paid the money and he worked hard to open this popular grain street. So strictly speaking, I can be regarded as half the boss of the grain street."
Gu Xihuai was shocked. After a while, he took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions. He turned to look at Gu Yuehuai with a complicated look in his eyes. He thought he knew his sister well enough, but who knew that he only knew the basics.
