Chapter 16: Gu's abnormality

Seeing that Yao had asked her maid to report to the police, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly said, "Mother, isn't it a good idea for my maid to report to the police? Can't we just let the people in the reception building report to the police themselves?"

Her maid went to report to the authorities, which would affect her reputation.

She has always been very nice to that bastard in front of outsiders. Now that people know about this, what will everyone think of her

"You're right." Yao thought for a moment and gave a few more instructions: "Go to the reception building first to confirm. You don't need to report to the authorities. We are the ones who will report to the authorities. Just say that you will help find the gold bead. Go! Hurry! Let the carriage driver take you there!"

She couldn't wait to confirm it.

The maid Xiaoxi nodded: "Yes, madam. I will go right away."

The maid retreated hastily.

"Mother, aren't we afraid of affecting our reputation if we report it to the police?"

"The Yingbin Building may not report the matter to the police after finding the gold bead. Besides, this is a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Yingbin Building. We can't miss it."

Shen Mingzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Yingbinlou is not only the largest restaurant in Futai County, but also the largest restaurant in the State of Chu. It is even among the top restaurants in all the major cities of the four countries.

My mother and father have always wanted to serve the Shen family's wine in the reception building, but they have always been rejected.

This time might be a turning point.

As long as their wine is sold in the Yingbin Building, it will be considered that they have opened up sales channels throughout the State of Chu. It will only be a matter of time before it is sold throughout the State of Chu and then to all four countries.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu seemed to see golden raindrops falling from the sky.

In order to be successfully selected to enter the palace to participate in the selection, one needs to make arrangements at every level, which requires a lot of money.

Although the Shen family is wealthy, Shen Mingzhu knows that there are many people who are richer than their family. If she doesn't do something, she really won't be chosen.

That's why they were so eager to drive that family away and make their life miserable. The purpose of doing so was just to please the one in the capital and get her help.

Now, as long as that bastard is in jail, the Gu family will definitely beg them to save her. Then, they can take back the ancestral home without affecting their reputation.

Without even a house, the family’s life will only become more miserable, and they will never be able to turn things around.

Now that the problem was solved, she didn't want to stay here anymore. "Mom, let's go back to the city together! I don't want to spend the night in the village."

"Don't worry. Your father will be back at night when he finishes his work, and then we can go back to the city together. When your father comes back, I will discuss with your grandfather about reporting to the police." This matter needs to be discussed carefully about who will do it.

She wanted Li to go, but she couldn't be the one to say this, because Li would tear her apart. She had to let her husband say it.

After Xingnong pushed the person out, he originally planned to go to the back mountain to pick someone up.

It just so happened that Xinghui also carried Shen Ruoxi down the mountain at this time.

The two men came down the mountain after seeing that all the villagers had left.

"Sister, are those people gone?"

"Um."

The three of them walked home.

In front of the narrow alley, the things that Xingnong bought were opened one by one, and Gu looked at the things on the ground with a serious expression.

Xing Qing asked in surprise: "Grandma, where did these things come from?"

Xinghui said happily: "My sister bought it today!"

Gu looked at Shen Ruoxi on Xinghui's back and said, "Carry your aunt into the house first. I have something to ask you."

"Oh." Xinghui was frightened by Gu's expression. He responded, looked at Xingnong worriedly, and hurriedly carried the person into the house.

Xing Qing originally wanted to ask if an old hen could be exchanged for so many things

Seeing Gu's expression, she didn't dare to ask.

Gu asked with a sullen face, "Xingnong, where did you get the money to buy so many things?"

"Earned it." Xingnong felt that Gu's reaction was a little strange.

Gu's voice deepened a little, "How did you make money?"

She had clearly warned the three siblings repeatedly before not to make money casually, as it would cause trouble.

Xinghui came out at this time and said happily: "Today, when my sister was selling chickens in the restaurant, she also sold a recipe and made ten taels of silver. Isn't that amazing?"

"Ten taels?" Xing Qing cried out.

Ten taels! Gu was also shocked. The first thing she did was not to ask why he knew the recipe, but to pull Xing Nong up and down and look him up and down: "Did you encounter anything on the way back? Why did you come home so late?"

Xing Nong's beautiful fox eyes looked at Gu with surprise in them: "Grandma, what do you think we will encounter?"

Gu's eyes flickered.

Xinghui: "Grandma, we had dinner with Brother Gu in the city, and then we rode back in Village Chief Gu's oxcart. We didn't encounter anything! What do you mean?"

Gu shook her head and said, "No, it's just that you are all children and don't know that money should not be shown to others. You have so much money, I am worried that someone with ulterior motives will take notice of you and follow you."

Xing Qing said, "Grandma, why would someone rob in broad daylight? There were so many people on the road! Besides, my sister was riding in the carriage of Village Chief Gu back home."

"I'm just worried. Besides, don't we have to pass through a small bamboo forest when we return to the village from the county town? The world is in chaos now. It's good that we didn't encounter it! I'm going to cook! You move the things in." Fearing that the children would get to the bottom of the matter, Gu carried two bags of rice and flour into the kitchen.

Gu was feeling uneasy because she was riding in Village Chief Gu's carriage, so was everything okay

But the children must not know about this, lest they get scared, especially Ruoxi, who cannot stand the slightest shock.

Xinghui helped put the things away, and then he found that Xingnong also bought pecans. He pointed at the bag of pecans and said, "Sister, why did you buy these pecans? It will be autumn soon, and we can go up the mountain to pick them."

Xing Nong: "Here's something for you to eat."

Xinghui: "I don't like eating this!"

"Eating more walnuts can nourish the brain."

Xinghui: “…”

Why did he feel that his intelligence was despised

Does sister think he is stupid

Xing Qing: "I see! Sister, how did you know?"

Xinghui's assist expert: "Stupid, of course my sister eats more!"

Xing Qing suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! No wonder my sister loved to eat them so much before! Why didn't you tell me earlier! I will eat more in the future. When the wild walnuts on the mountain are ripe, I will go pick more!"

She needs to be smarter.

She has never liked eating pecans, thinking they are not tasty, but her sister eats the most at home!

Xing Qing saw that there were meat buns, meat and big bones in the backpack. She was surprised and asked, "Sister, you bought meat buns? And meat?"

"Yeah. Let's have meat buns for dinner."

There are ten in total, just two for each person.

"Okay, there's some porridge left from lunch, I'll go heat up some meat buns. But, sister, what recipes are you selling? How come you have recipes to sell?"

Gu was a little confused just now and actually forgot about it. After hearing this, she also asked: "What's the matter with this recipe?"
