Li Yuemei let out a soft moan, panting heavily, and said, "You rascal, you want it that badly! Go to the back!"
Wang Fugui picked up Li Yuemei and carried her to the backyard.
Before long, a series of blush-inducing moans and panting sounds came from the backyard.
Just then, an older woman came to buy something. Hearing the seductive music coming from inside, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.
......
Gu Lili doesn't plan to buy cattle for the time being. She wants to build a house first, a brick house. She also wants to dig a cellar so that she can dig ice into it when winter comes, so that she can have iced drinks in the summer and keep all kinds of food fresh. Maybe she can even make a profit then.
If we need an oxcart, we can hire Sizhu's cart first.
Gu Lili led the four of them to a fabric shop. Since Gu Huanhuan had injured her foot, she decided to teach her embroidery so she wouldn't be bored at home.
Gu Lili picked out some nice threads and bought some pretty fabrics for Gu Huanhuan before leading the group to continue shopping.
Busy Gu Lili had no idea that Wang Fugui and his wife were plotting against her.
After buying the thread, Gu Lili took the three of them to buy pork.
Gu Lili originally wanted to eat beef, but in ancient times, beef was not sold because cattle were important agricultural animals, and slaughtering them required reporting to the government.
Only old and weak oxen that are unable to work are slaughtered.
Now that I have more money, I can buy whatever I want to eat.
The children are no longer like they used to be, reluctant to eat this or that.
Gu Lili bought a pork knuckle and some fatty meat to render oil.
"We still need to secretly 'buy' wheat later," Gu Lili thought for a moment and then said to Gu Erniu.
"Erniu, take Huanhuan and Sigou to the oxcart to rest first. I'm going to buy some wheat and rice to make candy. Call Uncle over to help later. I'll buy more this time so we can make more!"
"Sister, please let me hold onto the meat so you can move things later!" Gu Sigou said sensibly.
Gu Lili weighed the things in her hands; they weren't very heavy, and Gu Sigou could lift them, so she handed them to Gu Sigou.
Gu Erniu and the other two then headed out of the city.
On their way back, they happened to pass by Wang's Trading Company and ran into Wang Fugui, who had just finished his business.
"Hey, you three, stop right there!" Wang Fugui shouted hurriedly.
Gu Erniu and the other three turned around and saw Wang Fugui jogging towards them.
"Manager Wang, is there something you need?" Gu Erniu greeted Wang Fugui, mimicking Gu Lili's mannerisms.
Gu Erniu was still wondering if Wang Fugui wanted them to make more candy next time.
Wang Fugui asked with ill intent, "Which village are you from? Next time I need candy urgently, I'll come and get it myself!"
He naturally wouldn't tell the three children about his intention to take Gu Lili as his daughter-in-law. He was still thinking of giving Gu Lili a surprise!
Without thinking, Gu Erniu blurted out, "Our family lives in Gu Village. If you want more candy, Manager Wang, you can ask someone to come to our house and let us know, so we can make more!"
Wang Fugui nodded with a smile and then asked, "How do I find your house?"
With so many families in Guzhuang, it's really hard to find them if you don't know their names.
"My name is Gu Erniu, and I live at the east end of Guzhuang Village. You'll know who I am as soon as you ask!" Gu Erniu said, scratching his head sheepishly.
"What's your sister's name?" Wang Fugui continued to press.
Just as Gu Erniu was about to speak, Gu Huanhuan, who hadn't said much until now, patted Gu Erniu's shoulder, interrupting him.
Wang Fugui already knows where his home is, so why does he still need to ask his sister's name? I'm afraid he has ulterior motives!
"Huanhuan, what's wrong? Does your foot hurt?" Gu Erniu asked.
Gu Huanhuan nodded. "Second brother, hurry up and get on the oxcart. Carrying me like this is making my whole body ache!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Erniu quickly carried Gu Huanhuan on his back and headed towards the city gate, forgetting to answer Wang Fugui's question. Gu Sigou also jogged after Gu Erniu.
Wang Fugui watched the three figures leave with a smile. Now that he knew where his home was, there was no escaping it.
He'll go find a matchmaker right now, and we'll go to Gu Lili's house tomorrow!
"Second brother, I don't think that Manager Wang is a good person. Why did you tell him where our house is so easily?" Gu Huanhuan couldn't help but mutter.
For some reason, she felt uneasy looking at Manager Wang.
Although he always had a smile on his face, I felt that he was not a good person.
As Gu Erniu walked, he said, "We're doing business with him, right? He knows our family, so if he can come and get the candy himself in the future, it will save my sister the trouble of delivering it back and forth."
Gu Huanhuan thought that this made perfect sense.
Hopefully, Wang Fugui isn't a bad person!
After sending Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou onto the oxcart, Gu Erniu called on Sizhu's father to help carry the things.
Gu Lili found a secluded alleyway where no one would notice her and bought fifty catties of wheat, two hundred catties of glutinous rice, and a slightly larger pot from the mall.
After doing all this, Gu Lili waited for Gu Erniu at the alley entrance.
Gu Erniu and Sizhu's father arrived quickly and were somewhat surprised to see the pile of bags.
"Sister, how did you move all by yourself?" Gu Erniu couldn't help but ask.
There are no grain shops near the alley entrance, so why is my sister here?
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Their warehouse is up ahead, so they helped me carry it here. Uncle, thank you so much, I'll give you extra money for the fare later!"
Father Sizhu chuckled as he tossed a bag of glutinous rice onto himself, saying with a simple, honest smile, "We're all neighbors, there's no need to charge extra. Isn't this just a small favor?"
As he spoke, Father Sizhu picked up the wheat from the ground and walked away.
A bag of glutinous rice weighs 100 jin (50 kg), and the wheat weighs 50 jin (25 kg). Gu Lili couldn't help but give the uncle a thumbs up; his strength was truly impressive.
We absolutely have to add the fare for this car to Uncle Dazhu's bill!
Gu Erniu put the iron pot in the basket and then carried the basket on his back.
Gu Lili and Gu Erniu picked up the glutinous rice and hurried off to catch up with the uncle.
The three of them arrived at the city gate one after the other. Before they even got close, they saw a noisy commotion in front of the oxcart.
Gu Lili looked and realized that it looked like their oxcart.
He quickened his pace and ran towards the oxcart.
She ran to the oxcart. Gu Lili was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Gu Huanhuan was lying on the ground covered in blood, and there was a lot of blood on the ground as well.
