Gu Yansong's gaze followed her until she left the woods, at which point he withdrew his gaze.
He then shook his head with a wry smile, picked up a jar of water, and headed up the mountain.
He felt a wave of fear when he thought about what happened today...
Luckily, it was me who encountered it.
If anyone else in the village had encountered this, or if he hadn't made it, then the peaches...
He could hardly bear to think about it anymore.
Peach limped home.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, Aunt Yang asked, "What happened to you?"
Peach lowered her head and said, "I tripped and fell on the mountain and twisted my ankle!"
You absolutely must not let your family know about this.
Otherwise, given her mother's temperament, she would not only cause a huge uproar throughout the village, but she would also be in a hurry to find a man for her.
But she really has no intention of getting married right now, and she genuinely feels that this kind of life is quite good.
…………………
Several days have passed, and Gu Yanbai still hasn't returned.
She was just about to go sell tofu when she discovered that Gu Yanliu was sick.
She touched her forehead and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I probably just had a bit of an upset stomach from eating too many popsicles lately."
"How about I take you to town to have a look? You can't keep going like this." She touched her forehead; it wasn't hot.
"I'm much better now, but I'm still a bit tired after a whole night of tossing and turning. I'll get some more sleep and feel better."
Gu Yanliu lay limply on the bed, looking tired and exhausted.
"Okay, you can sleep a little longer then. I'm going now! Breakfast is in the pot, remember to eat it!"
Seeing that she was indeed alright, and worried that Wang Erya and the others might be getting impatient, they decided to let her know.
Su Nianxue had no choice but to leave in a hurry.
It was really hot today. After selling all these items, all three of them were covered in sweat.
Su Nianxue was worried about Gu Yanliu, so she went to the nearby pharmacy to buy some medicine for diarrhea and hurried home.
But as they passed the clothing store, Wu Xiaomei called out to her, "Su Nianxue, come in and sit for a while!"
"No, I have something to do, I'll be going now." She didn't even look up, just kept her head down and hurried on her way.
Wu Xiaomei, however, stubbornly blocked her way, looking at her with disdain.
"What could be wrong with you?"
"It's just going back to fiddling with your two pieces of broken tofu!"
"Is this person crazy?" She gave her a disgusted look. "What I do is none of your business!"
Aren't you being too nosy?
"Besides, I don't have anything to talk to you about, so move aside." Su Nianxue said, intending to walk around her.
Wu Xiaomei persisted, suddenly spreading her arms to block her in front of her, saying, "Don't go yet, I have something to say to you."
"Alright, go ahead and say it!" Su Nianxue couldn't leave, so she had to stop and see what she had to say.
She glanced at Wang Erya and Taozi beside her, "Come on, let's talk in my shop."
Without saying another word, he grabbed Su Nianxue and dragged her into the clothing store next door.
Su Nianxue flung her wrist away and shouted at Wang Erya and the others.
"It's too hot today, you guys go ahead! Don't wait for me!"
This time, Wang Erya and Taozi didn't listen to her. They found a shady spot nearby and sat down. "Go ahead! We'll wait for you here!"
Seeing the woman's aggressive demeanor, they were afraid she would be bullied.
Su Nianxue has helped them a lot, and the three of them have been spending a lot of time together these days, developing a very good relationship.
They naturally couldn't bear to see her being bullied for no reason.
If this woman dares to make a move, they'll have to at least give her a show of force.
Once inside the shop, Su Nianxue plopped down on a stool.
"Speak your mind, or shut up. I'm waiting to go back!"
She was really getting impatient with Wu Xiaomei. She clearly didn't like her, but she kept trying to talk to her.
I don't know what's wrong with this?
"Su Nianxue, you are so rude!"
How could Yan Bai possibly be interested in someone like you?
Wu Xiaomei looked at her with disdain. Now that she was on her own turf, she didn't want to pretend anymore!
Sure enough, country folk are just country folk; they're not presentable at all.
She spoke very crudely, and apart from being strong and capable of doing heavy work, she couldn't find any other merits in her.
"Unfortunately, he not only took a liking to her, but he also treasured her dearly." Su Nianxue rolled her eyes at her and retorted sharply.
"Besides, this is a matter between my husband and me. What business is it of yours, an outsider?"
"How can it be that it's not a problem?"
He and my brother are best buddies, so naturally I'm also... a good friend.
"I'm not an outsider!" She never considered herself an outsider.
"Your...good friend? I've never heard him mention you before!"
In fact, according to Gu Yanbai, they weren't even close friends, let alone friends.
I don't know where she got such confidence from, constantly referring to Gu Yanbai, and even speaking in a tone of pity for Gu Yanbai.
"Su Nianxue, what kind of look is that?"
I'm telling you, I've known him since I was a teenager.
Back then, he was just a street thug!
It was my brother who took him south and helped him earn his first money. Gradually, he became the person he is today.
Seeing Su Nianxue's doubtful look, Wu Xiaomei suddenly stood up from the stool and loudly refuted her words.
Her eyes held a hint of panic, and a barely perceptible trace of guilt.
She had indeed known Gu Yanbai for many years, but the two were not close.
