After making the candy, I also have to deliver it, so I don't have that much time.
Making candy is a secret, and Gu Lili doesn't want too many people coming and going from her home.
The men all smiled happily after hearing Gu Lili's words.
Eating at home costs less than two coins per meal; you can just grab a bite and make a little extra money. Who wouldn't be happy?
Seeing that no one had any objections, the village head didn't say anything more.
Gu Lili shared her ideas with Tie Dan's father, who was leading the group, and pointed out the land where she wanted to build a house.
"Okay, Lili, once you've chosen a good day, we'll come and help you build your house!" Tie Dan's father said solemnly, nodding as he spoke.
After seeing off Grandpa Village Head and his entourage, Gu Lili quickly started cooking.
I already told Uncle Dazhu that we're going to the county government office today to sign the land deed and buy bricks and tiles.
After we finished eating, Uncle Dazhu arrived shortly afterward.
Gu Lili and her three siblings set off with Uncle Dazhu toward the village entrance. Today happened to be market day, so they could take an oxcart.
Just in time, Gu Huanhuan can have her dressing changed.
Upon arriving in Donghai Town, Gu Lili immediately paid Uncle Dazhu's fare.
They've already wasted a whole day helping me, how can I expect them to spend more money on me?
Uncle Dazhu knew that Gu Lili was now rich, so he stopped refusing her.
He keeps refusing, which makes Gu Lili and her brother think he's pitying them.
Gu Lili told Gu Erniu to take Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou to get their medicine changed first, and then wait for her on the oxcart at the city gate.
Gu Erniu had come to Donghai Town with Gu Lili several times, so he knew the way.
Gu Lili also gave the chili water to Gu Huanhuan so that she wouldn't be afraid of any dangerous situations.
After the group agreed, Gu Lili followed Uncle Dazhu to process the land deed.
The two arrived early and finished quickly, then headed north of the city to buy bricks and tiles.
Little did she know that as she passed by Wangji Trading Company, Gu Lili was spotted by a pair of eyes.
“Son, did you see that? That’s the girl. If you can pin her down, I’ll make you meat for dinner tonight!” Li Yuemei said to the chubby Wang Cong beside her, pointing at Gu Lili’s back.
Wang Cong was all fat and didn't look very smart.
Especially when she heard Li Yuemei say that she would cook meat for her that night, her mouth watered.
He doesn't look like a normal fifteen or sixteen-year-old at all!
No wonder Wang Fugui was thinking of having his son marry Gu Lili and then teaching Gu Lili how to do business!
Judging from Wang Cong's appearance, if Gu Lili were present, she would definitely recognize that this is Tang Shi'er's face.
Children with Down syndrome are prone to intellectual disability, so he listens to everything Li Yuemei says.
They have absolutely no ability to think for themselves.
However, it's inevitable to have a biased view of your own child.
In Li Yuemei's heart, her son was handsome and dashing, and no girl was good enough for him.
Because Uncle Dazhu was always by Gu Lili's side, the mother and son never had a chance to make a move.
He had been sneaking around behind Gu Lili, waiting for an opportunity to ruin her reputation.
Gu Lili didn't know the two people, so she didn't suspect anything and just assumed they were going the same way.
After selling bricks and tiles in the north of the city, Uncle Dazhu parted ways with Gu Lili because he needed to buy some other things.
Gu Lili then started browsing on her own.
When they reached the entrance of an empty alley, Gu Lili was caught off guard and was pulled inside by Wang Cong.
Gu Lili realized what was happening and picked up the pepper spray to spray.
Wang Cong put her down, muttering to himself, "My mother said that if she strips you naked, she'll make meat for me!"
Gu Lili immediately stopped what she was doing because she saw the abnormal look on the man's face.
His words, coupled with his own, made Gu Lili curious about who she had offended that would ruin her reputation like this.
Gu Lili wouldn't believe it if it were Zhang Qiang's mother.
Because, that day at the yamen, I personally heard Zhang Qiang's mother say that she only had this one son.
Aside from Zhang Qiang, Gu Lili really couldn't remember who else she had offended.
Then, she had a flash of inspiration and bought a little rabbit lollipop from the system and handed it to Wang Cong.
"Who is your mother? Why do you want me to take off my clothes? Tell me, and I'll give you the little rabbit candy in my hand, okay?" Gu Lili shook the little rabbit candy in her hand.
Wang Cong's eyes lit up at the sight, and he reached out to snatch it.
Gu Lili quickly took the candy back from her hand, and Wang Cong immediately became so anxious that he stomped his feet and burst into tears.
“My mother is Li Yuemei!” Wang Cong said, looking aggrieved.
Gu Lili kept her promise and handed the candy she had to Wang Cong to keep him calm for the time being.
Gu Lili racked her brains but couldn't find a single trace of Li Yuemei.
Watching Wang Cong happily munching on his candy, Gu Lili had another idea.
He then bought a pig-shaped lollipop from the system and handed it to Wang Cong.
Gu Lili and Wang Cong whispered a few words to each other, and Wang Cong nodded. Gu Lili then handed the candy in her hand to Wang Cong.
At this moment, Li Yuemei, who was at the entrance of the alley, was pacing anxiously. A while had passed, but she still hadn't heard Gu Lili's shouts.
If they hear the shouting, they can call people in to check it out!
Wang Cong just happened to pull Gu Lili to the corner of the alley, where Li Yuemei couldn't see what was going on inside.
In fact, Li Yuemei had always known that her son had mental problems.
At fifteen years old, he still has the mentality of a four- or five-year-old child.
All they want to do all day is eat and play.
Not only Li Yuemei and her husband knew, but everyone in Donghai Town knew that they had a mentally challenged son.
This is why Li Yuemei wanted her son to ruin Gu Lili's reputation, yet she wasn't afraid of the county magistrate.
After all, with everyone knowing that his son was abnormal, the magistrate certainly couldn't convict him.
In addition, she only taught her son how to take off Gu Lili's clothes, and did not teach him anything else.
Then there's nothing to be afraid of!
Then, she would step forward and suggest that her son take Gu Lili as his wife.
Given that Gu Lili's reputation was ruined, she had no choice but to agree.
If she agrees, the sugar-making recipe will be ours!
The couple has clearly seen how popular Gu Lili's sweets have been these past few days.
This scheme, which kills two birds with one stone, makes me happy just thinking about it.
Just as she was about to go in and check on the situation, her son suddenly appeared in front of her.
This startled Li Yuemei. She patted her chest and asked, "How's it going with what Mother asked you to do?"
