At that time, their mother was weak, so they were often bullied.
Now that I no longer need to rely on that family, I naturally don't have to worry about what others think anymore.
Gu Sigou nodded as if he understood, and the two continued picking ferns.
He had another question: why did his sister have to carry a basket when she went to the toilet? It must be inconvenient.
However, seeing that Gu Huanhuan looked unhappy, he didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Huanhuan stopped talking and simply picked the bracken with even faster movements.
In the past, she was always bullied, and Gu Huanhuan always longed to grow up and become stronger.
She diligently studied everything that Gu Lili taught her.
I just hope that I can help my older sister, older brother, and younger brother in the future.
From now on, I will never let anyone bully me again.
About half an hour later, Gu Lili appeared in front of Gu Huanhuan and the other person with a basket full of things on her back.
By this time, the two had picked a full basket of ferns, with two bundles of ferns placed next to it.
Gu Sigou pouted and asked, "Sister, why are you taking so long to poop? I was just about to go find you. What if you fell into the hole like Second Brother did?"
Gu Sigou was still shaken by what happened last time.
Gu Lili smiled a little embarrassedly, "I was taking a shower just now and happened to see some fruit trees, so I dug up some fruit. That's why I'm a little late. Let's go back!"
In fact, Gu Lili had already bought the fruit trees, but appearing too early would inevitably arouse suspicion from the two children.
Gu Huanhuan tilted her head to look into Gu Lili's basket. Sure enough, there were many fruit trees inside, but she didn't seem to have seen any of them before.
However, I am still young, and there are many things I haven't seen before.
Gu Huanhuan looked at Gu Lili with admiration and said, "Sister, you are so amazing! I want to learn from you and become just as amazing as you in the future."
Gu Sigou chimed in, "Me too, me too! I want to become as powerful as you guys too!"
Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.
The group then headed home.
Tie Dan's father said yesterday that Gu Lili's house will have its main beam installed in a few days.
As Gu Lili walked, she selected the timber to be used for the roof beam. She planned to ask Tie Dan's father and the others to help cut it down once she had chosen it.
Looking at the straight cedar tree in front of her, Gu Lili decided to use it as the main beam.
Gu Lili marked the spot with her sickle and continued walking home.
As we approached the foot of the mountain, we could see our newly built house in the distance; it was already taking shape.
Now everyone in the village knows that Gu Lili is rich, and she doesn't want to hide it anymore. She plans to expand her house further.
They built several rooms specifically for making sugar and storing grain.
The school across from my house is almost as big as the one in my house. Even though it started construction later, it's already caught up with my house.
Indeed, money really does have its advantages.
These past few days, rumors have been circulating in the village that the young master of the Han family is coming to Gu Village to study, which is why a school was built.
Everyone is speculating about the background of this young master of the Han family.
Gu Lili wasn't curious about this at all.
What intrigued her even more was who Master Yuan was, that someone would be willing to pay to build a school in this desolate mountain village just to become his disciple.
Gu Lili has already spoken with Tie Dan's father, and tomorrow she will go to the brick factory in Donghai Town to order some bricks and tiles to expand the house.
Perfect timing! I'll go to my newly bought yard and replenish some food supplies. Otherwise, it doesn't seem right to leave Commander Zheng guarding this empty yard.
"Sister, sister, look, aren't these peach blossoms beautiful!"
Gu Sigou's shout interrupted Gu Lili's thoughts.
Gu Lili looked up and saw a small peach grove. They probably hadn't come down the mountain from this side before, so they hadn't noticed the peach grove.
Looking at the sea of pink, Gu Lili had another idea to make money.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "They look so beautiful! Let's come back and pick some in a few days!"
Gu Lili decided that when she went to Donghai Town again tomorrow, she would bring another cartload of grain to make peach blossom wine.
She felt that her peach blossom wine would definitely be very popular.
Gu Sigou nodded repeatedly, "Sister, if you like, I'll go pick some now, and we'll take them back and put them in a bucket to look at!"
Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh. He's so young, yet he already knows how to give flowers to girls. When he gets married in the future, she won't have to worry about him like she does about Gu Erniu.
Gu Erniu, who was driving the oxcart, couldn't help but sneeze several times and quickly tightened his clothes.
We mustn't catch a cold, otherwise we won't have the strength to work.
Gu Lili nodded, and Gu Sigou ran off to pick peach blossoms.
Because they were carrying a lot of things, Gu Sigou only broke two branches before returning.
Perfect, one for each of the two older sisters.
The three siblings were walking happily home when an uninvited guest appeared at their doorstep.
I don't know where Gu Jingsheng found out, but his family was going to have their roof beam raised, so he cut down a pine tree and placed it in front of Gu Lili's house.
Seeing the three siblings return with baskets on their backs, Gu Jingsheng greeted them with a fawning smile.
The three siblings, who had been all smiles, all changed their expressions upon seeing Gu Jingsheng.
Gu Jingsheng seemed to see the displeasure on the three people's faces, but instead laughed to himself, "Lili, Huanhuan, Sigou, you're back! We're going to raise the roof beam at home, right? This is a pine tree that I specially went up the mountain to cut this morning. You cut it, it's so straight, just right for our roof beam!"
Gu Lili was disgusted by Gu Jingsheng's shamelessness. What did he mean by "our family"?
What kind of nonsense is this? It's our own property, how shameless!
"Gu Jingsheng, are you out of your mind? This is our home, the home of the four of us siblings. What business is it of yours? Have you forgotten that we've already written a letter of severance?" Gu Lili sneered.
She had assumed that Gu Jingsheng, having been turned away that morning, would never come again.
She clearly underestimated the extent of Gu Jingsheng's shamelessness.
Gu Jingsheng almost couldn't keep up his smile when he heard Gu Lili's cold words.
He lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Lili, it was all my fault before. I was blinded by greed and treated you all that way. I know I was wrong now. Please forgive me, okay?"
As Gu Jingsheng spoke, he even managed to squeeze out a few tears.
If someone who doesn't know the truth saw this, they might think that Gu Lili and her siblings had bullied him.
Gu Lili felt nothing at all about Gu Jingsheng's hypocritical act; in fact, she felt a little nauseous!
"Where did this scoundrel come from? What bad luck! What are you doing crying your head off in front of my granddaughter's house!"
