A little while later, the Gan brothers arrived, and they began making popsicles to sell the next day.
To Gan Li's surprise, Zhao Shi also came.
Seeing Ganli in the kitchen, Zhao hesitated and went in, stammering as she thanked Ganli:
"Little sister-in-law, I really didn't expect you to buy me clothes. I thought you were so young—"
She covered her mouth in horror, her face full of regret.
I've been complaining about this sister-in-law for over a decade, and now it just slipped out! She's really something!
Gan Li wasn't angry. The things the original owner had done weren't very good to begin with, and she was easygoing. She figured that she hadn't done the things they were talking about anyway, so she pretended not to hear them. When she saw that Zhao was a little embarrassed, she thoughtfully changed the subject.
"I bought it roughly according to your size, but I don't know if it will fit. Have you tried it on, sister-in-law?"
"I tried it on!" Upon hearing this, Zhao's attention was indeed diverted. She took another step forward and mysteriously lifted the hem of the outer layer of clothing, revealing a section of brand-new fabric underneath: "Look, it fits perfectly!"
But Ganli was stunned when she saw her dressed like that. Her attention was no longer on whether it suited her or not, but rather...
"Sister-in-law, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes on such a hot day?"
"It's not hot! Not hot at all!"
While fanning herself vigorously with her hand, Zhao smiled sheepishly.
"I was just planning to come over and help you tidy up the yard, but I was worried about getting your new clothes dirty... Oh, don't worry about it. You're so busy making money every day, you don't have time to tidy up the house. Just wait, your sister-in-law will tidy it up for you right away."
Having said that, without waiting for Ganli to speak again, he turned around, picked up a hoe, and went to the backyard.
Ganli couldn't help but chuckle as she watched her hurried figure disappear into the distance.
Actually, although the conflict between Zhao and her seemed to be bigger before, Zhao stopped targeting her after they had talked things out. She bought her clothes, and the girl appreciated it and came over to help her.
Although such a person is a bit reckless, he has no bad intentions. Therefore, Gan Li is not averse to contacting such a person, so she did not stop Zhao Shi and readily accepted her kindness.
...
After the braised pork was cooked, Ganli took a large bowl and filled it to the brim. Then she took a basket, put the braised pork in it, and covered it with a clean cloth.
After instructing Gan Tian to put out the fire under the stove and saying goodbye to the Gan brothers, he picked up his basket and went out to visit the village chief.
The village chief had helped them when they were in trouble, and although the money had been returned, Ganli still decided to go and thank him in person again.
Incidentally, she also wanted to ask the village chief about the progress of establishing female households.
