It wasn't that Gu Lili was being overly compassionate; it was just that it was getting late, and she felt really bad about taking up any more of the villagers' time.
Aunt Zhang watched Niu Dali's departing figure and spat on the ground.
"What a shameless family! Lili, if he dares to come again, just yell at us, and every time he comes, we'll beat him up!"
Everyone chimed in, "Yeah, Lili, just call us if you need anything!"
Looking at the kind faces of the villagers in front of her, Gu Lili felt a surge of emotion.
"Giggle, giggle"
Niu Cuihua's eerie laughter reached everyone's ears. Aunt Zhang's eyes darted around, and she pointed at Niu Dali's back, saying to Niu Cuihua, "Cuihua, look at that person. Go back with him; there's good food at his house!"
Aunt Zhang had seen Niu Cuihua many times in the village. Sometimes she would take off her clothes when she saw a man, which was really indecent.
There are quite a few old bachelors in this village. I reckon that, in the place where Aunt Zhang is watching, Niu Cuihua has probably been molested countless times already.
Rather than letting her stay in Guzhuang in her crazy state, it would be better to let her go back with her younger brother.
That way, at least her parents and younger brother can keep an eye on her, so she won't embarrass Gu Village anymore.
Niu Cuihua looked up and followed the direction Aunt Zhang was pointing, as if she understood.
He then lifted his foot and stumbled after Niu Dali.
Niu Dali suddenly turned around and saw Niu Cuihua chasing him. Startled, he sped up and ran away.
Afraid of missing out on the meat, Niu Cuihua quickened her pace and chased after them.
Looking at the comical two, Gu Lili felt a mix of emotions.
Niu Cuihua deserves to die, but Niu Dali is even worse, abandoning his own sister.
She only thinks of her sister when there are benefits to be had.
Gu Lili didn't pity Niu Cuihua; on the contrary, she felt it was all retribution.
After thanking the villagers, Gu Lili prepared to go home and cook.
Aunt Zhang called out to Gu Lili, "Lili, wait a moment."
As soon as Gu Lili turned around, she met Aunt Zhang's somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Aunt Zhang, is something the matter?" Gu Lili asked.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Lili, the fish from yesterday were all yours. Dahua didn't know, so she processed them all and dried them. I'll send them to you when they're dry."
Yesterday, the waves washed away all of Aunt Zhang's buckets, and the fish are gone too.
The things Gu Lili delivered to his house were picked up by her and her brother; how could Aunt Zhang possibly accept them?
Gu Lili smiled. So that's why Aunt Zhang had stopped her.
"Auntie, that's for you. We picked so many, we can't possibly eat them all. You don't need to bring them over," Gu Lili said casually.
Aunt Zhang seemed to have something else to say, but was a little embarrassed to speak.
Gu Lili asked, "Is there anything else, Auntie?"
After thinking about it, Aunt Zhang decided to tell the truth.
"Could you have Erniu drive the oxcart to take your Uncle Zhang to Donghai Town to get his medicine changed tomorrow?" Aunt Zhang asked tentatively.
In the past, when Aunt Zhang asked Gu Lili and the others for help, she never seemed so hesitant.
Ever since Zhang Dahua and Gu Erniu got engaged, Aunt Zhang sometimes didn't know how to bring it up.
In the past, if I had asked Gu Erniu for help, I would have felt good about it and given him some money for the ride.
Now that they have this relationship, Gu Lili would definitely not accept money if offered, but she would feel bad if she didn't.
If she hadn't asked Sizhu's father today and found out he was busy, Aunt Zhang wouldn't have bothered with Gu Lili.
Seeing Aunt Zhang's expression, Gu Lili couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Oh dear, Auntie, why are you making such a fuss over such a small thing? We're practically family now, so don't be so formal!"
Gu Lili knew that Aunt Zhang was thinking this way.
If she hadn't been appointed as the head of the village and hadn't earned money, Aunt Zhang certainly wouldn't have been so conflicted.
She was too afraid that the villagers would say they were taking advantage of her, which is why she was too embarrassed to speak up.
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you with this tomorrow, Lili."
After chatting for a few minutes, Gu Lili went home to cook.
After eating and tidying up, the group went to bed.
As Gu Lili listened to Gu Huanhuan's breathing gradually become even, she placed her hand on Gu Huanhuan's hand, intending to try and see if she could bring Gu Huanhuan into the space.
I tried several times, but each time only I was able to get in.
It seems that I can only enter this space by myself.
Gu Lili lay on the bed, looking at the upgrade interface in the space, and couldn't help but want to curse.
The next upgrade will cost 50,000 taels of silver.
It seems like further upgrades are a long way off; I need to keep making money.
Once the new house is built, I'll definitely start making maltose and soap to earn money and upgrade my business!
As she pondered these thoughts, Gu Lili gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Gu Erniu drove the oxcart ready, preparing to take Uncle Zhang to get his medicine changed.
Because of what happened yesterday, Gu Lili decided to go with Gu Erniu anyway.
To prevent Gu Erniu from being targeted and causing an accident.
"Erniu, put the small cart on the oxcart too. In a bit, lift Uncle Zhang into the cart and push it to the clinic!" Gu Lili said to Gu Erniu, who had just finished driving the oxcart.
Gu Erniu nodded, then moved the small cart onto the oxcart. He stood in front of the oxcart for a moment, then went back to his shack, took out his and Gu Sigou's blankets, and put them in the cart.
Looking at the thoughtful Gu Erniu, Gu Lili couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praise him, "Kid, you're pretty good at handling things!"
Gu Erniu smiled somewhat embarrassedly and scratched his head, as if he had thought of something again.
He took the stroller down again and then pushed it to knock on Aunt Zhang's door.
The door opened quickly, and Zhang Dahua blushed instantly when she saw that it was Gu Erniu.
Gu Erniu's face also turned red, and he asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Dahua, has Uncle Zhang finished eating? I'll help him get onto the oxcart!"
Zhang Dahua blushed and nodded, turning her body to let Gu Erniu pass.
Gu Erniu pushed the cart inside, and Zhang Dahua followed him in.
Gu Lili pouted. These two guys completely ignored her from beginning to end.
cut!
The air is thick with the cloying, sweet smell of love!
Because the others had to stay home, only Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Gu Lili, and Gu Erniu went to Donghai Town together today.
After a leisurely half-hour journey, they arrived at the gate of Donghai Town. Gu Erniu tied up the ox and hurried over to move the small cart.
Once the stroller was in place, Gu Erniu and Aunt Zhang worked together to lift Uncle Zhang onto it.
