Chapter 68: Cannot Report to the Police



"Call the police?" Old man He was the first to disagree. They knew very well what He Gang did for a living.

He Gang has many lives to his credit, so this matter must not be brought to the attention of the authorities.

"Forget it. How can He Gang testify in this state? Let him recover from his injuries at home first." said old man He.

He Gang's mother also quickly agreed: "Yes, let He Gang recover at home first, and we can talk about other things later."

He Cuihua naturally knew what her parents were thinking. If He Gang's enemies knew that something had happened to He Gang at this time, they would probably come and take his life!

"Uncle He, Auntie, don't worry. I was the one who rescued He Gang. I will help you whenever you need me to testify." Gu Huai said.

"Gu Huai, you are such a good boy, thank you."

Gu Huai left. He Cuihua looked at He Gang lying unconscious on the bed. She hated Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

He Gang is the most powerful person in the family. Now that He Gang has fallen, she, a weak woman, naturally cannot beat Gu Huai.

However, she always thought that He Gang was injured by Gu Huai, but she didn't know that He Gang was beaten by Xie Yunjiao.

When Gu Huai returned home, Xie Yunjiao was already cooking, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of food.

Doudou squatted on the ground and played with the two little pigs.

Hearing the footsteps, Doudou rushed to Gu Huai: "Daddy, you're back."

"Well," Gu Huai picked up Doudou and walked towards the kitchen, "Let's go see what delicious food your mother has made for us."

He came to the kitchen door and saw Xie Yunjiao's slim figure busy in the kitchen. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not until this moment that he felt that Xie Yunjiao was really fine.

He had just come down the mountain from another road and met Doudou, who was sitting on the ground crying helplessly. When he heard him sobbing and saying that Xie Yunjiao was rushing up the mountain to find him, he felt half dead.

If something really happened to Xie Yunjiao, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

"Why are you still standing there? Come in and help, dinner is ready." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.

It was as if what just happened had never happened.

Gu Huai responded, put Doudou down, helped get the bowls, and washed them with boiling water, preparing to heat off the grease in the dishes.

I always have to use hot water to boil the bowls before eating, otherwise it will be greasy.

If the stains really can't be removed by scalding, I'll grab a handful of sand from the yard, rub the bowls with the sand, and then wash them clean. This way, the dishes will be as bright and white as new.

However, Xie Yunjiao still felt that it was too troublesome and thought that it would be great if there were good things like dishwashing liquid in this era.

After lunch, Gu Huai did not go up the mountain. He took out his tools and prepared to continue making the bed.

Xie Yunjiao took out the half-made cotton jacket for Gu Huai. She stuffed the washed and dried duck down inside, and then began to make a plaid pattern with needle and thread, for fear that the down would move out of place or leak seriously.

She was quick and had finished everything by the evening.

She asked Gu Huai to come over and try on the clothes. Gu Huai looked at the thin and light down jacket and couldn't believe that such clothes could keep him warm.

"You try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll add some cotton in it." Xie Yunjiao said.

Gu Huai had no choice but to take the down jacket that Xie Yunjiao handed over and put it on.

He didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, he felt his whole body getting hot.

"This... is impossible?" Gu Huai said in surprise.

This down jacket was weightless and felt so light when worn. It was surprisingly warm, and he was stunned. It felt like a dream!

"I said this down jacket is warm. You can wear it when you go up the mountain to work in the future and it will keep you much warmer," said Xie Yunjiao.

"I don't want to ruin such nice clothes." Gu Huai said, touching the new clothes Xie Yunjiao made for him lovingly.

Don’t tell me, it’s really warm.

"Daddy, let me try."

Doudou became curious and was eager to try it out.

When Gu Huai took it off, he immediately felt a chill and shivered.

It turns out that it wasn’t the weather that was getting warmer, it was that the down jacket was really warm!

He put the down jacket on Doudou, but Doudou was too short and it dragged on the ground.

He felt a little distressed, and hurriedly picked up the mopping part and patted the dust off it.

"Dad, it's really warm, even warmer than my cotton-padded jacket!" Doudou said in surprise.

"If there weren't so little duck down, I would make two more pieces, so that we can all wear such warm clothes." Xie Yunjiao said.

Speaking of this, Gu Huai knew that there was a family in the village that raised a lot of geese. As soon as the geese grew up, they would send them to the city and sell them to wealthy families.

I heard that they would deliver geese to the guests' homes and help kill the geese, so they could earn some extra money.

Gu Huai asked Xie Yunjiao if goose down could be used to make clothes.

Xie Yunjiao said that it would be better if there was goose down, as it is warmer.

Gu Huai took Xie Yunjiao to find that family.

When I got there, I found out that the family was Zhou Jinhai's.

Xie Yunjiao thought, no wonder she often saw Xiaoyu coming to town, it turned out that she was going to help kill the geese.

After killing the goose, she would take the ox cart home because she was too tired.

Originally, Xie Yunjiao wanted Xiaoyu to bring the goose feathers back and sell them to her, but when she got there, she found out that Xiaoyu had caught a cold and was lying in bed dying.

"It's my fault. I felt a little cold when I got out of bed yesterday, and I fell ill during the night. As a result, I couldn't go to town to kill geese today, and I didn't make much money."

"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you let me help you kill the goose?" Xie Yunjiao said.

"This... isn't very good." Xiaoyu looked at Xie Yunjiao gratefully.

But she couldn't make much money from killing geese, and even if she gave it all to Xie Yunjiao, it wouldn't be much. She was afraid that Xie Yunjiao would be unhappy.

"It's okay. I've been idle these days anyway," Xie Yunjiao said, "I don't need any reward, I just need the goose feathers."

"Goose feathers?"

Xiaoyu and Zhou Jinhai were both stunned. The goose feathers were worthless and dirty things. What was the use of them?

"I've been bored lately, so I thought I'd tinker with some stuff. If you don't mind, you can give me all the goose feathers you have in the future.

You can buy it with money, too." Xie Yunjiao said.

"It's very good that you are willing to help us. How dare we ask for your money?" Xiaoyu said.

The next day, Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai helped Zhou Jinhai deliver the geese to the town.

"Isn't that Xie Yunjiao?" Zheng Peng was sharp-eyed and saw Xie Yunjiao on the road.

He deliberately chased after him and said sarcastically, "Hey, hey, isn't this Chef Xie? How did you become so destitute? You have to help people deliver geese to make money.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? With your ability, I'd be willing to help you in the kitchen if you asked me."

"You can go now."

"With your ability, you can only be a kitchen helper at best. Do you really want to take my place? Don't take my kindness for granted."
