Seeing this, Grandpa Gu nodded to himself, "That's more like it!"
He believed Su Nianxue's words a little more.
It seems the young couple has a pretty good relationship, so her words are certainly credible.
The kitchen was filled with smoke.
Su Nianxue scooped out a small bowl of rice from the jar, picked out the pebbles, and rinsed it twice before putting it into the pot.
After she stopped, Gu Yanbai asked, "When did I ever tell you that I was doing something legitimate outside?"
His tone was casual, and his expression was nonchalant, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
"I guessed?" Su Nianxue said, then went to pick vegetables again.
"Guessing?" Gu Yanbai's smile froze slightly. "So you were just trying to fool Grandpa, right?"
Su Nianxue nodded, "Yes, do you really want to get beaten up?"
"And Grandpa is getting old, what if he accidentally falls and gets hurt?"
She glanced up at him, then continued picking vegetables.
"Aren't you afraid I might actually do something bad outside?"
Gu Yanbai watched her pick vegetables silently for a long time before finally speaking.
"So you really did something bad?" She paused, then looked up and stared straight at him.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't?"
"I believe you." She answered without hesitation.
"You're just fooling me!" He grabbed her slender waist with both hands, dragged her to his side, and his eyes were dark and brooding.
"No, I really believe you!" Su Nianxue quickly explained.
Do you remember when my dad was hospitalized last time?
I saw you chatting and laughing with the police officers in town.
So I guess you probably didn't do anything bad!
He appeared natural at the time, neither obsequious nor fearful, nor humble.
Just like always, he wore his signature roguish smile, with a hint of nonchalance.
Of course, she only realized this afterward.
If he had really committed a crime, it would be strange if he acted so naturally in front of the police.
"What's so strange about that? I know those people very well."
If you ever want to see them, I can take you.
The large hand that was wrapped around her waist loosened its grip a little.
Su Nianxue quickly stepped back and moved away from him. How could she be embarrassed if someone saw them later?
She doesn't have his thick skin.
"Those are your friends, why would I see them?"
"You don't want to see my friends?"
"I don't want to." She couldn't help but recall the teasing she had received at the Siyuan Hotel.
Those people are just like Gu Yanbai, they have no manners. When she saw them, she really didn't know what to say.
"If I don't want to see you, then I won't!" He seemed to have thought of something, and his previously gloomy expression suddenly relaxed.
He glanced at her face and said, "Go wash up."
You haven't washed your face since you got up; I'm worried you'll drop your eye boogers into the pot.
Su Nianxue was embarrassed and quickly wiped her face. "Where do I have eye boogers?"
Besides, it was you guys who made a scene first thing this morning.
It made me forget to wash my face.
She dashed out of the kitchen, and hearing the soft laughter behind her, she ran even faster.
After having breakfast, Old Master Gu gave Gu Yanbai a slightly warning look before leaving.
Gu Yanbai pretended not to see it and calmly continued drinking the porridge in his bowl.
When Grandpa Gu saw him looking like that, he couldn't help but want to beat him up, but he still had to herd the sheep up the mountain!
It's getting late, and we can't afford to delay any longer.
Su Nianxue cleared away the dishes.
He glanced at the jar next to the cupboard and poured all the mung beans inside into the basin.
Not much, about two pounds.
Gu Yanliu asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"I plan to sprout some bean sprouts."
"Don't we still have bean sprouts at home?"
Although bean sprouts are indeed delicious, we can't possibly eat all of them if so many grow at once!
"In this sweltering heat, won't it rot if left out for too long?"
Su Nianxue smiled and, without intending to keep anyone in suspense, said directly, "I plan to grow some bean sprouts and sell them in town."
Gu Yanliu was taken aback, but her face immediately lit up with joy. "Sister-in-law, are you going to start a business?"
Su Nianxue: "What kind of business?"
I'm just testing the waters; I don't even know if it'll work!
"But if we're going to do business, the land..."
Su Nianxue knew her concerns, "Your brother said that farming is too tiring for us, and he plans to lease out all the land in the house."
I figured if I did that, I'd have nothing to do.
So I decided to sprout some bean sprouts and sell them in town to earn some pocket money.
Gu Yanliu was also surprised when she heard the news. "We're contracting it all out? Does that mean our family won't be farming anymore?"
"They even left a plot for us to grow vegetables."
"Sister-in-law, what will I do if all the land is leased out in the future?"
Gu Yanliu felt a little flustered. Would she end up being a freeloader in her family?
Won't people dislike me?
"If you're willing, you can start a bean sprout business with me!"
Su Nianxue understood her feelings; she had the same expression when she first heard the news.
She even sacrificed herself to save the land.
My lower back still aches slightly.
Just thinking about these things made her teeth itch terribly, and she wished she could bite him a few times.
He had clearly made up his mind, yet he still lied to her...
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, I'll do it with you."
Gu Yanliu hurriedly moved a small stool and sat next to her, picking out the spoiled mung beans from the basin.
"Okay, we'll split the profits 50/50 from now on."
Gu Yanliu waved her hand generously, "No need, just take care of my meals."
Su Nianxue chuckled, "It's not like I won't feed you if you don't work."
"Hehe, sister-in-law, you know I'm not good with words." Gu Yanliu chuckled.
"Okay, you can help your sister-in-law with the work."
"Once I've made some money, I'll help you prepare a generous dowry so you can have a grand wedding," Su Nianxue joked.
"Why are you saying that, sister-in-law? The child is still young!"
Gu Yanbai lay on the rocking chair, listening to the two joking around, and a smile appeared on his lips.
This house seems more lively and more vibrant than before.
"Yanliu, are you home?" The two were chatting casually when they heard a girl's voice calling from the doorway.
Gu Yanliu quickly stood up from the stool. "Sister-in-law, it's Hua'er!"
"Go on, go on!" Su Nianxue waved to her.
Gu Yanliu dashed out in a flash.
"Hua'er, what brings you here?" Gu Yanliu opened the front door of her house.
"Yanliu, I want to borrow your brother's bicycle, what do you think..."
