Chapter 308: The Fake Heiress (17)
After finishing all the work for the film crew, three months had passed, and Gu Qian was on winter vacation. The weather had also turned cold.
Wen Wan installed several electric stoves for the Gu family and prepared meat and vegetables every day so that everyone could eat and drink their fill and not have to suffer from the cold while rushing to make handicrafts. After that, the shop resumed normal stocking.
There were also some designs that were too complicated, so Wen Wan decisively raised the price. At first, not many people bought them, and Gu's mother was a little worried that no one would really buy them at such high prices. Wen Wan reassured Gu's mother that there would definitely be a market for them in the future, and that they should stock up on the goods for now.
Another batch of products, identical to those used in the web series, is also being rushed into production, and the price is set very reasonably.
It was very busy, but no one complained. Wen Wan suddenly became famous in the village. However, she was famous before because of her fake daughter-in-law incident, but now she is famous because she made money for the villagers.
Soon it was Chinese New Year, and every household began to prepare for the holiday. Wen Wan thought for a moment and bought some New Year's goods for each household and sent them over. After that, she began to prepare her own New Year's goods.
The two families decided to celebrate the New Year together as usual. Wen Wan also received New Year's money from Grandma Shen and Gu's mother. Although she had already passed the time for receiving New Year's money, Wen Wan still gave Gu Yao a gift. However, to her surprise, Gu Qian also gave her a gift.
Wen Wan received a red envelope from Gu Qian. "Then I'll give you one too, it's a give-and-take."
While Wen Wan was giving out red envelopes, villagers came to visit. One auntie or grandma after another gave Wen Wan red envelopes. Wen Wan received so many red envelopes that her hands were sore. "You're all too kind. I'm an adult. Why are you still giving me red envelopes?"
"This is your first New Year here, so of course we have to come. Besides, we need you to help us make money."
"Okay, I'll work harder in the new year."
After seeing everyone off, Gu Qian personally cooked a New Year's Eve dinner, along with various drinks and fruit for dessert.
Looking at this family, Gu's mother felt so emotional that she wanted to cry. She had always dreamed of this kind of life, but after falling ill, she was constantly trapped in nightmares and predicaments whenever she was lucid.
However, all of this actually happened.
The family gathered together, enjoying a peaceful and happy Lunar New Year. Everything was moving in a positive direction, and there was hope for the future.
Seeing that Gu's mother was crying, Grandma Shen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Everything is alright now, don't dwell on the past."
Mother Gu: "I'm happy, extremely happy."
Gu Yao stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth and said, "I'm happy too, really happy."
Gu Qian: "I'm very happy too."
Wen Yan: "..."
Is this some kind of ritual? Why is everyone looking at her? Wen Wan smiled, "I'm happier than any of you. Eat up, we're going to set off fireworks after we eat. I bought a lot."
Gu Yao quickly ate his rice. He used to watch other families set off fireworks, but his family had never done so, not even during the Lunar New Year. So Gu Yao was really looking forward to celebrating the Lunar New Year like other families, and he was especially envious of fireworks.
After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, the family went out into the yard, where Gu Qian brought out the fireworks and lit them quickly. Wen Wan was very satisfied as she watched the fireworks explode in the sky.
Because of the commotion, many villagers came over. After all, although the villagers had earned some money, they were still reluctant to buy expensive fireworks; they would just buy some firecrackers to set off.
This is the first time I've ever seen such a large and numerous fireworks display.
Just then, Wen Wan's phone rang. She took it out and found it was a video call from the female lead, which she answered.
Li Xinyue wanted to see Grandma Shen, so Wen Wan gave the phone to her grandmother, who then went to the side to chat with her granddaughter.
Gu Qian walked over to Wen Wan and asked, "Are you happy now?"
Wen Wan: "Of course I'm happy. Everything is moving in a positive direction. How about you?"
Gu Qian: "I'm very happy too, thank you."
"There's nothing to thank me for, we're friends."
The Li family did not call Wen Wan. Since leaving last time, the Li family has not contacted Wen Wan again. Wen Wan also knows that they probably hate her for ruining the marriage agreement between the Li family and the Lin family.
A few minutes later, Grandma Shen came over and handed the phone to Gu Qian. "Qian, Xin Yue wants to talk to you."
Wen Wan automatically moved away, looking at the fireworks overhead with a somewhat complicated expression.
System: [Are you unhappy, host?]
Wen Wan shook her head. "I'm very happy. Once the shop is on track, the Gu family won't have to worry about making a living, all the tragedies will be avoided, and my mission will be complete."
System: [It seems the male and female leads have a really good relationship in this world; no wonder they're childhood sweethearts.]
Wen Wan: "Yes!"
[Host, you're unhappy again. Your face is all droopy, you look awful.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Are you jealous?
Wen Yan: "???"
She immediately denied it, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly like Gu Qian? I only consider him a friend."
【oh. 】
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan was particularly annoyed by that single, light word, but she wasn't sure exactly why she was annoyed, or perhaps she was too afraid to be sure.
Suddenly, a hand covered Wen Wan's ear, and Wen Wan instinctively trembled. "I called you, didn't you hear me? Did the fireworks make you deaf?"
Wen Wan: "..." Can't you speak properly during the New Year?
Gu Qian lowered his hand and handed the phone to Wen Wan, who asked, "What did you just tell me?"
Gu Qian: "It's nothing, if you didn't hear it, then forget it."
"Li Xinyue is so good to you, your relationship is so good."
Gu Qian looked at Wen Wan with a somewhat complicated expression. "She and I grew up together, so we naturally have a good relationship."
Wen Wan: I'm not angry or sad, just a little depressed.
"Then when you get into Lin City, you can go see her. What do you call that? Childhood sweethearts."
"Are you bothered by my contact with Xinyue?"
Wen Wan: "Of course not, you must be mistaken. I just didn't think things through back then and bullied her, so I still feel guilty towards her. That's why I was upset when she called."
"So that's how it is."
"When you see her, you'll have to apologize to her for me."
"I see."
"These fireworks are so beautiful. I'll buy them and set them off every year from now on."
"Um."
...
When it was time to sleep, Wen Wan couldn't fall asleep at all; she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"System, I have insomnia, can you think of a solution?"
system:【……】
What are some ways to treat insomnia?
【Host, how about I count sheep for you? One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep…】
Wen Yan: "..."
Her system was indeed naive, but the method was quite good. After counting to who knows how many thousands, Wen Wan fell asleep and slept until noon the next day.
I was woken up by the noise.
