Chapter 46 Is this a shady shop?
Ye Lixuan looked at Gu Xiaoxi, who rolled her eyes at him and turned away.
Gu Xiaoxi still had to go to the medicine store and sell a piece of old ginseng. She had to clear the hunger at home first, so as to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of being strangled by someone.
She found a place to return to the space and changed her clothes. She came out of the space and went to several medicine shops. After comparing prices, she sold a hundred-year-old ginseng for one hundred and fifty taels.
She was quite satisfied with the price. She took the silver and left the pharmacy. She planned to go shopping in the city and buy some things to take back.
However, he hadn't walked far when he realized he was being followed.
Is this a shady shop?
She turned into an alley. There was no one in the alley, and she slipped into the space.
She changed into her original clothes and waited for these people to leave before leaving the space.
After walking out of the alley, she returned to the store.
She casually asked about the prices of some medicinal herbs, looked around, and didn't see those people, so she left the pharmacy.
After leaving the pharmacy, she went to buy cloth and cotton, and also bought a bag of brown rice. She originally thought that she didn't need to buy meat, as she would have some when she came down the mountain tomorrow.
Later, she felt that it was not right. It was not realistic to hunt prey in the mountains every day. So, she bought ten kilograms of meat, and the butcher gave her a few big bones.
"Boss, how much does this cost?" she asked the boss.
"This stuff is not valuable. I'll give it to you if you want it." The boss was about to close the stall, and there were only these lean meat and fat meat left. The girl bought the lean meat and just gave it all away.
In this way, Gu Xiaoxi used the money he had saved for ten kilograms of meat to buy a lot of other things. Seeing that the boss still had some fat meat left, he simply bought it all.
"Girl, next time you need to buy meat, come again and I will give you less money." The boss said happily.
"The boss is so easy to talk to. I will come again next time." Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile, then took her things and left.
She couldn't let those gossips see so many things.
She found a place to put her things back into the space, left the city and took a carriage back to the village.
After returning to the outside of the village, she was not in a hurry to go into the village. She waited until dark. She carried the cotton cloth on her back, hung pork and big bones around her waist, carried the pig under the water in one hand, and went around the back door with the food on her shoulder in the other hand.
After knocking for a long time with no response, she simply climbed over the wall, opened the back door, and then took the things back to the yard.
Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming returned home at 3 p.m. and told their mother what had happened. As a result, they were scolded.
The two brothers felt a little depressed and didn't dare to stay at home. They ate some food and went up the mountain to chop firewood. They haven't returned yet.
Chai sat on the edge of the corridor and felt more and more that something was wrong. It was already dark and the person had not returned yet. Xiaoxi was a girl after all, so she hoped nothing had happened to her.
"Grandma, what's wrong with my mother? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Seeing that her mother hadn't come back yet, Gu Bingxue was worried that her mother had passed away.
"Don't worry, your mother has gone to see a doctor and will be back later." Chai hugged Bingxue and Ruixue in her arms. She knew that the two children were scared.
My daughter used to have a bad temper, and these two children suffered a lot. Although she has changed now, I don’t know if it can stay that way forever?
"Grandma, wuwu...Mom, is Mom gone?" Gu Ruixue started crying as she spoke.
"No, no, your mother has become better and will not abandon you." Chai comforted her two granddaughters, but she felt a little unsure.
When Mrs. Xue, who was cooking in the room, heard this, she sighed with a sad face.
I don’t know what this sister-in-law is trying to do?
You actually dared to treat the young master. If he was cured, it would be fine. But if he wasn't, I'm afraid...
clang!
As she thought of this, she lost her grip on the shovel and it fell to the ground.
When Chai heard the voice, she stretched her neck to take a look. She was in a bad mood and started to curse: "You only know how to eat and eat. You can't do anything well. You are really getting more and more unreasonable..."
Xue knew that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood because of her sister-in-law, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. She picked up the spatula on the ground, washed it, and continued cooking.
When Gu Xiaoxi came in from the backyard with something, she heard her mother scolding her sister-in-law, and her two children were crying in her arms.
"What's going on? Haven't the eldest brother and the third brother come back yet?" she asked curiously.
Hearing Gu Xiaoxi's voice, Chai and the two children raised their heads, and Xue from the kitchen also ran out.
"You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, this family would probably..." Xue wanted to complain a few more times, but when she saw her mother-in-law's murderous eyes, she immediately shut her mouth.
"Mom!" The two children rushed over immediately.
Gu Xiaoxi took the meat and bones from her waist and handed them to her mother. She also handed the offal in her hand to her mother. Her hands were dirty and she was afraid that they would dirty the child's clothes.
She stepped back a few steps and said, "I'll change my clothes later and hug you. Tonight, I'll make you some meat!"
"Mom, we don't mind you being dirty." Gu Bingxue said this with a smile as he hugged his mother's left hand, while Gu Ruixue hugged his right hand.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled helplessly, lowered her head and kissed the two little guys on the face. They were such clingy little guys.
After comforting the two children, she went back to her room to change her clothes and asked her sister-in-law to go and get her eldest and third brothers. While her mother played with the children, she went into the kitchen.
First wash the pork bones and stew them in the pot next to it.
Then wash the offal and blanch it, take it out and put it aside.
Wash the pot, render the cut fat into oil, and put the fragrant oil residue aside.
After squeezing out the lard, brine the pig offal and cook over low heat.
Bring the boiled bones to the fire nearby and cook the rice.
At this time, the voices of the eldest brother and the third brother came from outside. She wiped her hands and walked out.
"Everyone is back, wash your hands and have dinner." She shouted.
Seeing their sister return home safely, Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming felt relieved.
Not long after the two brothers returned, Gu He also came back with a basket of mountain products on his back.
Seeing the things in his father's backpack, Gu Xiaoxi was shocked and hurried forward to take the basket away from his father.
"Dad, why did you go up the mountain?" He was worried about his father's inconvenience in walking and hoped that nothing would happen again.
"It's okay, there are so many people here." Gu He was limping on one leg and leaning on a crutch. It was obvious that he looked very tired.
Gu Xiaoxi felt a little guilty. She was busy treating other people and should have taken care of her father first.
The father in my memory is a very good man and a daughter-loving maniac. He would rather bear the infamy himself than let his daughter suffer any injustice.
"Dad, don't go anywhere tomorrow. Let me take a look at your legs." She said with a sour nose.
"Dad, it's okay. I'm used to it. You're treating patients. If you can do a good job, then do it. If you can't, don't make it hard on yourself. Rich people are mostly hard to talk to." Gu He only found out about this when he met his two sons in the mountains. He has been very worried ever since.
