Gu Yundong was confused. She had been studying white sugar in seclusion for the past few days and had not gone out for more than ten days. She had only started to prepare the things needed for the banquet yesterday. How did she harm him?
âYou have to make yourself clear. What did I do?â
Liu Wei took two more steps back and forth before he gritted his teeth and said, âDo you know that thereâs a rumor circulating in the upper circle of the county now?â
âYou said it yourself. How would I know about the upper echelons of the county?â Gu Yundong could not help but roll her eyes.
Liu Wei choked and didnât keep her in suspense anymore. He said directly, âItâs all because you bragged in the Tao familyâs provision store last time. The next day, that kid from the Tao family specially came to me to verify the white sugar making matter. Damn it, he actually deliberately brought that shopkeeper over to ask about this. Do you think I can deny it? I braced myself and had to help you lie. In the end, this sinister person spread the news after leaving my house. He said that the Liu family had found a capable person who could make white sugar as white as the clouds.â
Gu Yundong was speechless. She was not boasting. She was not!
Liu Wei didnât seem to have a high IQ.
âThis matter has caused an uproar. Even my father knows about it. The smelly old man from the Tao family came to my father and mocked me. He said that I was ignorant, incompetent, and inexperienced in making friends, and Iâm becoming more and more unreliable. Let me tell you, they can laugh at me, but they canât laugh at my father. Yesterday, that Tao family came to my house again. He was very cunning. He deliberately angered me so much that I used the two shops in my family to gamble. Now, all the young masters in the county say that I will lose.â
âLiu Wei, gambling is a very unacceptable behavior. Moreover, you actually gambled so much,â Gu Yundong said. The first time she saw him, she felt that he was a wastrel. She began to sympathize with his father.
âThatâs not the point!!â Liu Wei was about to go crazy. âThis matter started because of you. What do you think we should do?â
The corners of Gu Yundongâs mouth twitched as if she was looking at a retard. âYouâre simply being shameless, arenât you? Even without me, your family and the Tao family already have a deep grudge. Sooner or later, theyâll find another reason to trick you.â
Liu Wei couldnât win against her. Of course, he knew that those people were being shameless. However, he said, âYouâre smart. You settle it.â
Sigh, he needed to be taught a lesson.
Gu Yundong clenched her fists, but when she thought of the 20 taels of silver she received from him, she endured it.
Alright, on account of this wastrelâs generosity, she would help him resolve it.
It was mutually beneficial.
Gu Yundong rolled her eyes and said to him, âWait here.â
With that, she turned around and left the backyard, returning to the main house.
As soon as the door closed, she took out a jar from her space.
Looking at the thin, white, and sweet sugar inside, Gu Yundong smiled in satisfaction.
When she came out again, she realized that Shao Qingyuan, who had left earlier, had returned. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that there was no one around, Shao Qingyuan walked to her side and said softly, âChen Yulan went to look for Gu Xianâer. The two of them talked for a long time outside.â
âWhat did they say?â Chen Yulan? Why was this person so restless?
She couldnât be bothered with her anymore. The mother and daughter were still jumping out. Did they really think that she wouldnât dare to touch them because they had an uncle who was the village chief?
âI didnât hear them clearly. Theyâre too far away and thereâs nothing to cover me. Itâs not easy to get close.â Shao Qingyuan pursed his lips and looked very dissatisfied. âI followed the mother and daughter just now. They seemed to have gone straight back. They didnât do anything for the time being.â
âItâs fine. Itâs enough to know that these two are in cahoots,â Gu Yundong said.
Shao Qingyuan was about to ask if he needed to do anything when he saw Liu Wei running out impatiently..
