Yang Dadan froze on the spot!
I, Yang, dare to kneel before heaven, earth, my parents, my wife, and officials... When have I ever knelt before a bunch of little kids!
However, before Yang could even refuse, Wang Xiuer slapped him again.
"Yang Dadan, you son of a bitch, hurry up and don't delay people from getting home!" Wang Xiuer shouted angrily.
The few men who had been following him, who were originally so arrogant and daring, were trying so hard not to laugh that their faces turned almost liver-colored.
Yang Dadan looked at the furious Wang Xiuer and said softly, "Xiuer, keep your voice down, don't shout until you lose your voice."
The men next to Yang Dadan couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.
Gu Lili and her brother were also amused and laughed.
These two couple, Yang Dadan and his wife, are truly two extremes. Although they both curse and swear, one is reasonable and the other is unreasonable and argumentative.
I really don't know how these two got together in the first place.
Yang Dadan just wanted to apologize quickly and go home; he didn't want to continue making a fool of himself.
"Thank you for saving me," Yang Dadan muttered softly, his head bowed.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuer slapped him again.
"You good-for-nothing, have you not eaten? Why do you speak in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz!" Wang Xiuer shouted.
Yang Dadan winced in pain, clutching his head as if it were about to shatter.
Gu Lili didn't want to waste any more time watching the couple flirt.
"Aunt Wang, we're from the same village, so we should help each other. There's no need for thanks. You should go back now; we're leaving first!" Gu Lili said with a faint smile.
Wang Xiuer was much older than Li Xihua, so logically, Gu Lili and her siblings should call her "Auntie".
Wang Xiuer waved her hand gratefully and said, "I really owe you all a lot today. I'll come to your house to thank you another day. You all go ahead and get busy!"
Gu Lili nodded and then led her younger siblings to the other side.
Today's task is to find some more sweet potatoes. We've been delayed for too long digging for ginseng, so we need to hurry.
Wang Xiuer then helped Yang Dadan limp down the mountain.
Because Yang Dadan's fall wasn't too serious, Wang Xiuer didn't ask the men who came up to help carry him.
"Brothers, I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing. We can go back on our own!" Wang Xiuer said apologetically.
When Gu Erniu told me that Yang Dadan had fainted, I thought it must have been a serious fall.
Now that I'm fully awake, I naturally don't need anyone else's help.
The men waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that it was alright. They watched as Wang Xiuer helped Yang Dadan up, and Yang Dadan walked forward, so it seemed that he really didn't need their help anymore.
The men headed home, having at least witnessed a joke.
If I were to tell my wife this when I got home, she would be laughing her head off!
Meanwhile, Gu Lili led her younger siblings to search for things on the mountain. Following the same method, under Gu Lili's guidance, the group quickly dug up a full basket of sweet potatoes.
Gu Erniu was a little unhappy. Why was it that only his sister could find the sweet potato, but he couldn't?
After digging up a lot of sweet potatoes, Gu Lili took the three of them home.
It was already dinnertime.
Gu Lili prepared sweet potato porridge today, along with some leftovers from lunch, which she heated up for dinner for the four of them.
The new house should be ready to move into in about ten days. Tomorrow I need to go to Donghai Town to buy some furniture and bedding.
And this peach blossom wine, we should make as much as possible while the peach blossoms are still blooming.
There are also sweet potatoes, fruit trees, vegetables, and some flowers...
Gu Lili lay in bed, lost in thought, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up again, the sky in the east was already beginning to lighten.
The four siblings exercised as usual before going home to cook dinner.
Because she had a lot of work to do, Gu Lili didn't go to the beach to see if there were any seafood today.
The group was having dinner when Old Mrs. Li appeared outside the courtyard.
"Lili, are you home?" Grandma Li called out loudly from outside the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Lili and her three siblings quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and went outside.
The courtyard gate was not closed, and Old Mrs. Li and Li Ershu stood outside the gate somewhat awkwardly, embarrassed to come in.
Normally, Grandma Li wouldn't even need to call her; she would come right over.
However, Gu Lili was only granted the title of village princess by the emperor yesterday, and for some reason, Old Madam Li became distant.
She didn't want to come in the first place, afraid that people would say she was trying to freeload off Gu Lili and the others who had made a fortune.
However, she couldn't rest easy without asking for clarification.
Last night, she barely slept a wink. She just couldn't understand how her granddaughter had suddenly become some kind of village head.
It felt like a dream.
Gu Lili looked at the two of them and quickly greeted them with a smile, "Grandma, Second Uncle, why are you standing outside the courtyard? Please come in and sit down!"
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou looked at the two people outside the courtyard with confusion, and quickly ran out to pull them into the small kitchen.
My maternal grandmother and second uncle arrived so early, clearly because they hadn't eaten breakfast and had rushed over very early in the morning.
Gu Lili quickly ladled out two bowls of wild vegetable porridge and handed them to the two of them, saying, "Grandma, Second Uncle, drink some porridge to warm yourselves up!"
Although it's getting warmer now, the temperature is still low in the mornings and evenings.
Judging from their bright red noses, they had clearly been exposed to a lot of cold wind.
"Lili, tell your grandma how you became the head of the village!" Old Mrs. Li asked hurriedly, forgetting to eat.
Grandma Li was clearly unaware of the reason behind this, so she was somewhat flustered.
Gu Lili smiled and told her that it was because the county magistrate had intervened that she had become the head of the village.
Grandma Li gradually understood, but for some reason, she still felt a little sad.
"Where did Lili go?" Old Mrs. Li blurted out.
She froze on the spot after asking the question herself.
However, after asking the question, the feeling of distress in my heart finally dissipated a lot.
Now she understood what she had been worried about all night, which was why she hadn't slept.
I know my own granddaughter quite well.
She was timid and submissive, just like her own daughter.
How could things suddenly change like this?
The current Gu Lili can make candy, brew wine, and even knows medicine prescriptions. She is obviously different from the granddaughter he had in his heart.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Gu Lili knew all these things, why didn't she make candy before?
Why wait until your mother starves to death and you faint from hunger before you start making candy?
