Chapter 29: Stop Talking



The location of each transaction was determined by Lu Changqing. He had previously planned to rob the robbers, but after being taught a lesson, these people became obedient.

Moreover, the wild animals purchased from Lu Changqing were relatively cheap, allowing them to make a profit.

After the inspection, Boss Chen asked someone to weigh the items before paying the money.

Lu Changqing counted the money carefully, a total of two hundred yuan, rolled it up and put it in his bag.

Lu Changqing thought about Gu Qingning's instructions and planned to go back quickly.

"Hey, brother, are there any good goods coming soon?" Boss Chen had great respect for Lu Changqing, a good hunter. Lu Changqing deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I don't plan to sell any goods recently. I'll have someone notify you of the time and place for the next transaction."

After Lu Changqing finished speaking, he left. Boss Chen didn't dare to stop him and just felt it was a pity.

The younger brother next to him looked at the boss and seemed to remember something. "Boss, I heard that a lot of good stuff came to the city today. They are all sold by a woman. Do you want to go and take a look?"

In this day and age, everything is in short supply, but to have so much of it come out at once is a big deal.

If we can hook up with them, we will have a source of goods in the future.

For fear of being investigated, a small amount is sold in the county town, and the rest can be sold in several small county towns around the provincial capital.

Upon hearing this, Boss Chen ordered, "Find out who it is. If we can negotiate, I will intervene."

It would be fine if it was a win-win situation, but I'm worried that those people will disrupt the market and be caught by the inspection team.

He has a bad leg, so he does some small business to support his family, and he absolutely cannot let anyone ruin his business.

The younger brother knew what Boss Chen was thinking, so he quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I've already got someone watching him. Next time he shows up, we'll invite him over. It would be best if we can cooperate."

There are still many tricks in the black market, and Gu Qingning's appearance has indeed affected other people's interests.

These people were just like dogs that smelled blood, searching frantically.

The two men tied up the wild boar and carried it away.

The next day, Gu Qingning didn't get up until eight o'clock. Her face was sleepy and she wanted to stay in bed, but she still cheered herself up, got dressed and went out.

Lu Changqing was already chopping firewood in the yard early in the morning, and the small kitchen next to her was warming up water.

Lu Changqing's dark face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and it was obvious that he had been working for a while.

Seeing Gu Qingning's completely non-aggressive look, his eyes softened and he instantly became even more obedient and soft.

He said in a gentle voice, "The water is still hot, wash up first."

Lu Changqing heated the kang early in the morning, no wonder it was so hot. Gu Qingning washed her face with water and applied medicine to her hands.

In the past two days, her condition has obviously improved a lot. She also applied some cold cream on her face, which made her complexion look whiter and smoother.

Gu Qingning braided her hair into two loose braids and tied them with a red headband. The childishness between her eyebrows revealed a youthful aura.

Outside the house, the female educated youth had just returned from fetching water. They were staggering as they walked and had fallen several times, with mud all over their buttocks.

At this time, the river water was icy cold, and the cotton pants were difficult to wash, and most importantly, difficult to dry.

Wang Ermei stared at Gu Qingning's room with resentment, "What kind of young lady is this? She just got up now and asked someone to come and help her with work so early in the morning. She must have hired a helper..."

"Hmm..." Wang Ermei's mouth was full of mud from the oncoming mud. She pinched her waist and was about to curse.

She saw Lu Changqing holding a stone in his hand, staring at her coldly.

Wang Ermei had no doubt that Lu Changqing would attack her directly while she was talking, so she immediately stopped.

"What's the big deal? It's just marrying a country boy." Wang Ermei muttered to herself and hurried into the room, still feeling scared.

Seeing that Gu Qingning was not there, Tan Ran put down the firewood in his hand, hesitated, and finally made up his mind to walk up to Lu Changqing.

Lu Changqing was in good health and didn't wear anything too thick now. Because it was too hot to chop wood, he even rolled up one of his sleeves to reveal his strong and tight forearms.

Lu Changqing remained calm, pretending that the person in front of him did not exist.

Tan Ran bit her lip and whispered softly, "I heard that you are getting married?"

Gu Qingning, who had just walked out, heard this and raised her eyebrows. It was interesting. It turned out that he had to inform her when he got married.

Judging from the tone of their voice, people who didn't know would think that the two people were doing something dirty.

Gu Qingning had little impression of Tan Ran, only remembering that she had a very low presence.

Gu Qingning stepped forward, with a forced smile, "Tan Zhiqing is so concerned about our marriage? This doesn't seem to be under your jurisdiction. You're living in such a mess, don't you know how to settle down? Or, do you want to give a gift?"

Don't think that she doesn't know what this guy is thinking. She really thinks that Lu Changqing is an easy man to control and wants to deceive her.

Tan Ran saw that Gu Qingning was a little scared, clenched her fingers, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just...!"

"What are you just? You're so sad in front of others so early in the morning? Do I owe you anything? That's my girlfriend. Didn't anyone teach you to be cautious between men and women? Didn't you know how to avoid suspicion? Did you break your leg? How come even your brain doesn't work anymore? Do you need me to wake you up?"

Gu Qingning looked at Tan Ran without taking a breath.

The farce here attracted several people from the educated youth site to gather together, but none of them dared to speak.

Tan Ran's face flushed red, feeling a little aggrieved, "Gu Zhiqing, you are so humiliating."

After saying that, she covered her face and ran away. If she didn't run away, Gu Qingning would make her even more embarrassed. However, she was a little unwilling to accept this.

Why should she marry an uneducated man like Li Erniu? Even if she wanted to marry a peasant, she should marry a handsome and elegant man like Lu Changqing.

That's exactly what those educated youths looked like. Now no one can get away with anything at Gu Qingning's hands.

I hurried back to the house and closed the doors and windows, fearing that I would be affected.

Lu Changqing's face was indifferent. He put down the axe and wiped his hands. He walked up to Gu Qingning, looked at the angry person, and lowered his voice: "Ningning, don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Qingning turned her face away and said, "Huh, my brother Lu is really amazing. He even attracted peach blossoms."

Gu Qingning's tone was a little sour and sarcastic.

Lu Changqing didn't get angry but smiled, bent down, and said seriously as usual with Gu Qingning: "But there is only one Gu Qingning."

The deep eyes were filled with burning sincerity. Gu Qingning's face flushed and he coughed twice to cover it up. "You can't coax me without two meals of meat. You can do whatever you want."

Lu Changqing looked at the man and wanted to bury his face in his neck. He was obviously cold and his sword-like eyebrows could not help but frowned: "It's my problem. It won't happen again in the future. Come in quickly. I will fix it here soon."

Gu Qingning didn't insist. In this weather, she felt that the air she exhaled could freeze.

Lu Changqing made minced meat porridge, which was served with boiled eggs and minced meat pickles, which was considered a rich meal in the countryside.

Gu Qingning's bowl was served in advance, and it was just the right temperature when she ate it.

Gu Qingning's red and swollen hands pinched the egg, peeling it carefully, and asked, "How did you meet Tan Ran?"

Caught off guard by the topic coming back, Lu Changqing frowned: "I don't know her!"
