70 Chapter 70 Rare Guest
Father Gu sneered and immediately turned to leave.
Gu Chengye saw that his father was about to give up and quickly chased after him. âFather, why donât I apologize to Chengrui on behalf of my mother and second aunt?â
âItâs too late. Forget it.â Father Gu shook his head and turned to walk into Mrs. Guoâs room.
Gu Chengye immediately reached out to stop him and said, âFather, I donât think itâs too late. The whole village is growing bean sprouts, so it might be an opportunity for us.â
âAn opportunity?â Father Gu paused for a moment, but his eyes immediately lit up.â You mean to sell the sprouts?â
âYes, think about it. If the villagers sell them alone, they wonât find a good market. They can only peddle in towns or nearby villages because of the cold. They canât sell for any good price at all.
âBut if we organize ourselves and use the oil millâs ships and channels to ship it out, itâll be different.â
Although Father Gu disagreed with using the oil mill ships to sell goods, he had to admit it was a good idea.
At that moment, he thought of someone he had once helped. It seemed that it was time for him to go over and take a look. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to develop on this small piece of land with the Qiao family suppressing him.
âThen you can make a trip there when you have the time, âhe said. âBut if it doesnât work out, donât make it too awkward. â
Gu Chengyeâs expression froze for a moment before he nodded and said, âI know, Father. Iâll go over now.â
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
However, his face was getting darker and darker. He initially thought that after the failed attempt to wash away the bad luck and the separation of their family, his father would completely hate Chengrui.
Now, it seemed things werenât too simple. Now that Chengruiâs ability was revealed, his father clearly intended to reconcile.
It seemed that he had to be more careful of Chengrui in the future.
Father Gu did not care about his feelings. He was only thinking about how to restore the Gu familyâs past glory. As long as anyone was helpful to him, he would make use of them.
On the other hand, Gu Chengye walked to Gu Chengruiâs house. He paused for a moment before he walked over and knocked on the door.
Hearing the dogâs barking, Gu Chengrui, who had come out to welcome their guest, was stunned when he saw him. âChengye, what a rare guest,â
After saying that, he waved at Er Zhuang and brought him into the house.
When Gu Ghengye entered, he saw the patriarch and village chief sitting in front of the dining table, drinking tea and peeling peanuts. He was startled for a moment before addressing them, âUncle, Grandpa village chief.â
âChengye, you are here. Have a seat and try these five-spice peanuts cooked by Miss Zhou. Itâs really fragrant. âThe patriarch smiled and waved at him.
After that, he even moved his chair to make room for him.
âThank you, uncle.â Gu Chengye thanked him as he took a stool and sat down.
âChengye, drink some water. âGu Chengrui handed him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
âThis is a chrysanthemum?â Gu Chengye took the teacup and asked in surprise when he saw a small chrysanthemum blooming in the water.
âYes, wild chrysanthemums can dispel cold, clear heat, cleanse the liver, improve eyesight, and have detoxification and anti-inflammatory properties.â
âIt works exceptionally well in the case of dry mouth, heatiness, dry eyes, limb pain, and numbness caused by wind, cold, and moisture.
âTherefore, drinking a cup or two of them occasionally is good for your body.â Gu Chengrui before sitting back down.
âI didnât think you would really learn some real skills from Doctor Sun.â
âItâs easy to be influenced by what you see and hear all day, so I canât help but remember some of it. But fortunately, I was paying attention back then and can have a skill of my own to make a living.â Gu Chengrui replied.
âI donât think itâs just to make a living. Your skills are equal to the doctors in town.â The patriarch said with a smile.
