Gu Lili shook her head and said, "Grandma, don't take it to heart. My aunt is my aunt, and you are you. I can tell the difference! I'm afraid you'll think I'm heartless!"
Gu Lili knew that her maternal grandparents were her mother's parents.
However, they are also my uncle's parents.
What parent doesn't love their child? Gu Lili's decision to send Zuo Xiuhong away so directly makes one wonder what her grandmother was thinking.
However, she didn't want Zuo Xiuhong to continue to take advantage of her and her siblings.
“How could Grandma think you’re heartless? It’s all Grandma’s fault. When Zuo Xiuhong started having ulterior motives, I didn’t nip it in the bud, so she was allowed to cause trouble. No matter what, I will not allow her to come to your house and cause trouble!” Grandma Li held Gu Lili’s hand and said sincerely.
Now, Gu Lili is doing well and can help the Li family.
That's only if Gu Lili is doing well. If Gu Lili herself isn't doing well, why would she care about the Li family?
Now that they've talked things out, there's no more resentment between them.
Grandma Li changed the subject, sounding somewhat troubled, "Lili, but, could you still continue to sell your base ingredients to your uncle?"
Li Qingshan is also her son. No matter how bad Zuo Xiuhong is, she still has to consider Li Qingshan's feelings.
If Li Qingshan could live a better life, Zuo Xiuhong would be less likely to cause trouble.
"Grandma, don't worry, I was just saying that in anger. As long as Auntie behaves herself and doesn't cause trouble, I will definitely keep my word," Gu Lili replied.
Gu Lili understood what her grandmother had said.
Both hands are flesh and blood, so it's definitely difficult to maintain a balance.
If you put yourself in her grandmother's shoes, Gu Lili would probably make the same decision.
Grandma Li nodded emphatically and said gratefully, "Lili, thank you so much!"
Grandma Li didn't know what to say, but she secretly vowed that since she had come to help Lili's family, she would definitely help Lili well.
This will reduce her worries.
Gu Lili quickly said, "Grandma, let's not stand on ceremony. Third Uncle, come, let me teach you how to make maltose."
Now that we've talked things out, it's time to get to work.
In a few days, their Baiweixuan restaurant will open, which will make them even busier. They need to teach their grandmother and third uncle the process of making candy.
Before Gu Lili could lead the two to the room opposite, she saw Han Mingyue leading Laifu toward her own courtyard.
"Mingyue, is something the matter?" Gu Lili asked with a smile.
Gu Lili made a guess in her mind that Han Mingyue probably came to her house for the candy.
As expected, as soon as Han Mingyue entered Gu Lili's courtyard, she smiled and said, "Lili, I just received a letter from my elder brother. He said he wants to order some more maltose from you, and also that peach blossom candy from last time. I wonder if you can still contact the shopkeeper of that shop? Our Han family will take all the remaining peach blossom candy from him!"
Hearing Han Mingyue say that, Gu Lili's eyes narrowed with laughter.
How did the Han family know she was short of money? They sent the money right away!
Hahaha!
"I wonder how many kilograms of maltose the Han family will order this time?" Gu Lili asked, feigning composure.
Judging from Han Mingyue's angry expression, it's probably more than she expected!
Han Mingyue said with a smile, "This time we've ordered quite a lot. I wonder if you, Lili, can make it all!"
No matter how much, Gu Lili felt there would definitely be no problem.
Anyway, my own house is already built. If there's anything else, I can just ask the villagers to do it!
Gu Lili should just pay them their wages!
The wheat is currently in the heading stage, but there are not many ears of wheat yet.
This indicates that this season's wheat harvest will definitely be significantly reduced.
If the villagers come to help Gu Lili, it would be like finding a pillow when you're sleepy.
"Oh, how many kilograms is it? Mingyue, don't keep me in suspense, just tell me sooner so I can figure out how to make the candy!" Gu Lili asked with a smile.
Han Mingyue didn't bother with suspense and said directly, "Ten thousand catties! My elder brother wrote to say he needs ten thousand catties!"
Even though she was mentally prepared, Gu Lili's heart still couldn't help but pound wildly.
There were 10,000 catties of sugar, and 7,000 catties of wine left over.
In total, the wine could earn more than six thousand taels of silver. How could Gu Lili not be excited?
Suppressing her elation, Gu Lili said, "Alright, I'll be going to Donghai Town soon anyway. I'll go see if Manager Cai is there. If he is, I'll arrange a time with him for you."
Just in time, Gu Lili still needs to go to Donghai Town to fetch grain.
After completing her task, Han Mingyue took Laifu back to the academy.
Gu Lili originally planned to teach her grandmother and third uncle how to make candy, but now it seems she has to change her plans.
"Yun Chu, you, Grandma, and Third Uncle should tidy up those two rooms together first," Gu Lili said to Gu Yun Chu.
Since Gu Huanhuan liked embroidery, Gu Lili wouldn't let her do these rough jobs.
Just keep your hands soft and smooth so that you won't damage the fabric when you embroider with it later.
Gu Yun Chu agreed, and Gu Li Li quickly went out and headed towards the village head's house.
Fortunately, the village head hasn't gone to work in the fields yet, and there are still people at home.
"Grandpa Village Head, I need your help again!" Gu Lili said to Grandpa Village Head as soon as she entered the village head's house.
Grandpa Village Head put down the hoe he was repairing and asked, "Lili, what happened to your family? What can I do to help you? Just tell me!"
Although Gu Lili is Gu Jingsheng's biological granddaughter, she doesn't resemble her grandfather at all.
Although the village head didn't expect anything in return for helping Gu Lili, Gu Lili kept all of this in mind.
Moreover, they often brought them food and other things, so the village head was naturally even more willing to help Gu Lili.
"Grandpa Village Head, my family is making maltose now, but we don't have enough people. I don't know the uncles and aunts in the village very well, so I'd like to ask you to help me find a few people to do the work!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
When Han Changlin first made maltose, it was Gu Lili who asked someone from the village to help.
Several families quietly left a few heads unattended, and Gu Lili kept quiet when she saw that there weren't many.
Since Gu Lili plans to make maltose long-term, she needs to find some honest people to help her.
The village head has lived in this village for decades, so he must know these people's character better than Gu Lili.
The village head stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming with amusement, and said, "This is no big deal! Leave it to me. I'll ask your Uncle Dazhu to fetch the people to your yard. What do you think?"
