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?
“You have to make yourself clear. What did I do?”
Liu Wei took two more steps back and forth before he gritted his teeth and said, “Do you know that there’s a rumor circulating in the upper circle of the county now?”
“You said it yourself. How would I know about the upper echelons of the county?” Gu Yundong could not help but roll her eyes.
Liu Wei choked and didn’t keep her in suspense anymore. He said directly, “It’s all because you bragged in the Tao family’s 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.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. She was not boasting. She was not!
Liu Wei didn’t seem to have a high IQ.
“This 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 I’m becoming more and more unreliable. Let me tell you, they can laugh at me, but they can’t 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.”
“Liu Wei, gambling is a very unacceptable behavior. Moreover, you actually gambled so much,” Gu Yundong said. The first time she saw him, she felt that he was a wastrel. She began to sympathize with his father.
“That’s not the point!!” Liu Wei was about to go crazy. “This matter started because of you. What do you think we should do?”
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched as if she was looking at a retard. “You’re simply being shameless, aren’t you? Even without me, your family and the Tao family already have a deep grudge. Sooner or later, they’ll find another reason to trick you.”
Liu Wei couldn’t win against her. Of course, he knew that those people were being shameless. However, he said, “You’re smart. You settle it.”
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 wastrel’s generosity, she would help him resolve it.
It was mutually beneficial.
Gu Yundong rolled her eyes and said to him, “Wait here.”
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.
Seeing that there was no one around, Shao Qingyuan walked to her side and said softly, “Chen Yulan went to look for Gu Xian’er. The two of them talked for a long time outside.”
“What did they say?” Chen Yulan? Why was this person so restless?
She couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. The mother and daughter were still jumping out. Did they really think that she wouldn’t dare to touch them because they had an uncle who was the village chief?
“I didn’t hear them clearly. They’re too far away and there’s nothing to cover me. It’s not easy to get close.” Shao Qingyuan pursed his lips and looked very dissatisfied. “I followed the mother and daughter just now. They seemed to have gone straight back. They didn’t do anything for the time being.”
“It’s fine. It’s enough to know that these two are in cahoots,” Gu Yundong said.
Shao Qingyuan was about to ask if he needed to do anything when he saw Liu Wei running out impatiently..
