So I decided to leave early and come back early.
Gu Lili discovered that this "Uncle Fortune" was simply another substitute for herself.
You can buy and sell things entirely through Gu Lili's space without going through Gu Lili herself.
More importantly, he will always be loyal to Gu Lili.
As the group was chatting, the sound of a carriage came from outside the door.
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Lin Xiyao's voice came from outside the door.
"Lili, Lili, are you home?" Lin Xiyao's voice reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard before she even saw her.
Gu Lili took Gu Huanhuan's hand and walked outside.
Once outside the courtyard gate, Lin Xiyao was seen being helped by Cuizhu to get off the carriage.
Cui Zhu also had an injured hand, and Gu Lili was the one whose hands and feet were not very mobile. She was worried that they might fall off the carriage again, so she quickly ran over and helped them down.
"You have trouble walking, why are you coming to my house so late?" Gu Lili said with a smile.
This girl is so carefree; after what happened yesterday, she can still laugh and joke around.
In the future, I'll definitely let her come and play with Gu Huanhuan more often. That way, Gu Huanhuan might become more cheerful.
Lin Xiyao chuckled and said, "I'm here to give the villagers a thank-you gift. They went to great lengths to look for me yesterday, so my father sent someone to buy me a gift today. I figured since everyone in the village would be here tonight, it would be perfect to deliver it."
If it were daytime, everyone would definitely be out working in the fields.
Actually, last night, Gu Lili, Gu Chenxi, and Grandma Li had already divided the wild boar among themselves.
Gu Lili gave a piece of meat to everyone who came to help yesterday.
Although the amount wasn't much for each person when it was distributed, it was still enough to have a decent meal.
"Where is Lord Lin?" Gu Lili looked behind the carriage but did not see Lord Lin.
Logically speaking, Lord Lin should have accompanied Lin Xiyao on this matter.
When she talked about her father, Lin Xiyao blushed unconsciously.
“We went to the academy first to deliver a thank-you gift to Young Master Han. Father said he had something to discuss with Young Master Han, so he sent me here first. He will arrive shortly.”
It turned out that Lin Xiyao wasn't thinking of her father, but rather of Han Mingyue.
As night fell, Gu Lili still didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Xiyao.
However, since Lin Xiyao said she wanted to give a thank-you gift, she naturally had to hurry.
As darkness falls, the villagers are usually ready to go to sleep.
"Everyone come quickly, help Yao Yao deliver the gifts to the manor!" Gu Lili shouted into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyao stopped Gu Lili.
“Lili, Father said I should deliver this gift in person and thank everyone in person.”
If she had asked the Gu family to do it for her, she wouldn't have needed to make this trip tonight; she could have simply had the driver bring it over.
Gu Lili thought about it and realized it made sense. She then called out to Gu Yun Chu, "Yun Chu, go get our little stroller, spread out the blankets, and let's go give everyone our thank-you gifts."
Gu Yun Chu, who had only taken a few steps, heard Gu Li Li's voice and quickly turned back.
Gu Yanyu also returned to her room and brought out a winter quilt.
The two brothers tidied up the cart before pushing it out.
"Sister Yao, you can sit in this car, we'll push you there," Gu Yanyu said with a smile.
Lin Xiyao looked at the cart in front of her with great curiosity and couldn't wait to sit on it.
Lin Xiyao liked the thick, soft quilt that was laid out on her bed.
After Lin Xiyao sat down, Gu Yun Chu and Gu Yan Yu pushed her into the manor.
The rest of the Gu family also followed to help.
Just as they arrived at the academy gate, Lord Lin came out from inside.
So the group headed towards the village together.
Yesterday, almost the entire population of Guzhuang was mobilized, so they went door-to-door delivering gifts.
"Oh dear, Miss Lin, we already received your wild boar meat yesterday, why are you bringing more today? There's no need to be so polite!" Aunt Zhang said apologetically.
Yesterday, she and Uncle Zhang went up the mountain to help search for the person.
Lin Xiyao was indeed unwilling to accept it, and stuffed the things into Aunt Zhang's hands with a smile, "Auntie, it's nothing valuable, just some snacks, please don't mind. Thank you for coming to find us yesterday."
Lin Xiyao originally intended to distribute some money directly to the villagers as a token of gratitude, but Lord Lin stopped her.
This isn't a reward for a servant; giving them money would be far too humiliating.
Lin Xiyao immediately felt guilty, which is why she thought of sending some snacks.
She knew that the villagers were simple and honest people, and even if they didn't give her a thank-you gift, they would still go up the mountain to look for her without hesitation if something like this happened again.
She was naive and didn't understand the reasons behind this. She simply thought that the money could buy her whatever she wanted, so she decided to give some money.
Upon hearing that it wasn't anything valuable, Aunt Zhang reluctantly accepted it.
At the same time, he also left a good impression on Lord Lin and Lin Xiyao.
After dropping off Aunt Zhang at her house, everyone continued on their way.
To save time, everyone knocked on the doors of nearby houses together to call the person out, who then presented the gift, and Lin Xiyao personally expressed her gratitude.
With so many people, it only took about half an hour after the gifts were delivered before everyone returned to Gu Lili's courtyard.
Gu Lili noticed that Lin Xiyao didn't go back immediately, so she must have something to say to her.
As soon as they arrived at Gu Lili's house, Gu Lili asked the driver to hand her the package she had prepared from the car.
"Lili, I'm most afraid of parting. I won't come to see you off tomorrow morning. This is something I prepared for you. Please make sure you take it with you on your journey."
As Lin Xiyao spoke, she handed the things in her hand to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili accepted it with a smile and both hands.
"I will definitely wear what Yao Yao prepared for me. Thank you for your trouble, Yao Yao," Gu Lili said with a smile.
Gu Lili will be departing tomorrow in a horse-drawn carriage.
So it's convenient to bring things.
Seeing that Gu Lili accepted the gifts, Lin Xiyao felt relieved.
After chatting for only a few minutes, they went home with Lord Lin.
She knew that Gu Lili would be leaving tomorrow, and there would definitely be many things to prepare.
Therefore, she decided not to stay here and delay Gu Lili any longer.
After Lin Xiyao left, everyone prepared to wash up and go back inside.
Gu Lili did not return to her own room, but instead turned around and went to the room of Old Mrs. Li and Gu Chenxi.
Just as the two were about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, they heard Gu Lili knocking on the door.
Gu Chenxi quickly opened the door and welcomed Gu Lili into the house.
Seeing Gu Lili come in, Old Mrs. Li guessed that Gu Lili must have something else to tell her and Gu Chenxi.
He quickly asked, "Lili, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
