After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 58 A small profit

Gu Jingcheng walked to the door and called Zhou Lin away. He kept a cold face all the way, and owed him a lot of money.

"I said what's the matter with you? Wasn't it fine in the shop just now? Why is it like this now..."

Before Zhou Lin finished speaking, Gu Jingcheng glanced at him: "What do you look like?"

"Looks like I've been pissed off."

Zhou Lin watched the excitement, "What? I was talking to Boss Su in there just now. Did she say something you don't like to hear?"

"not him
He replied in a muffled voice, "You said that a person like her is not stupid. How can she not understand other people's good words? How can ordinary women be as stubborn as her?"

"He's in business. If you don't lose your temper, how can you suppress those hooligans who come to make trouble?"

Anyway, he thought it was nothing, hooked his hand on Gu Jingcheng's back, patted him with his palm, and said in relief.

"She's a little girl, what can you really care about with her?

Besides, she is not your daughter-in-law, do you care if she is hard-tempered? "

Gu Jingcheng was indifferent, he took his arm off his shoulder lightly, how should I tell him?
Su Xiaomu is really his cheap wife.

He hesitated to speak and glanced at Zhou Lin again, but in the end he still didn't tell him about it.

But what happened today made him completely understand that Su Xiaomu is a very rebellious person, such a person is not suitable to be a husband and wife with him.

Most likely, the two of them were not suitable to be together in the first place, and the fate of being forcibly matched was destined to be a bad fate.

Gu Jingcheng's thoughts are deep and far-reaching, while Su Xiaomu's is much simpler.

She bought a new batch of bowls and chopsticks for the shop with the money paid by the burly man.

The broken ones will not go away and the new ones will not come, so I simply took this opportunity to replace all the old ones.

"We only spent a little over one or two taels of silver on these things this time, and with so much left over, we still made a profit in the end."

Yin counted the remaining money, not to mention how excited she was.

The leftovers are enough for them to buy a lot of delicious food and go back to improve the food at home.

"It's not bad. After all, we only did business for half a day today, and the arresters didn't pay for their food. Generally speaking, we didn't take advantage of that person."

Su Xiaomu asked Yin Shi to take the money to Gu Ruotong to keep the accounts. She touched Gu Ruonan's head affectionately and said, "You didn't get scared today, did you? If you want to eat later, Third Aunt will make it for you."

"I don't want to eat anything."

The little girl grabbed Su Xiaomu's sleeves with red eyes, she pouted her small mouth, and she was pitiful with tenacity, "I don't want to learn how to cook from my third aunt, I want to learn martial arts, so that in the future, I will meet people like this today." In any case, I can protect you."

She thought that she didn't know the way today, and wasted a lot of time on the road for no reason.

If only she could be smarter and faster...

"Third Aunt never realized before that our family Ruo Nan is such a brave girl, but ah, there is no need to learn martial arts. It is more useful for you to learn how to cook from Third Aunt than your kung fu."

At this moment, she felt very moist in her heart, and she felt that her efforts were not in vain.

With money in his arms, Gu Ruotong also said to her: "In the future, we will all become more useful and help Third Aunt more."

"The children are sensible, but I still feel scared. If the third uncle and the others don't come in time today, then we..."

Yin Shi bit her lip, her eyes were full of fear, "I'm afraid we won't get through this test so easily today."

She could have seen at that time that those people looked more fierce than the other, and each of them spoke more ugly than the other.

"Sister-in-law."

Su Xiaomu laughed, "You said that you are such an adult, why are you not as brave as these children?
The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover them with earth. As long as we have done nothing wrong, can we still be afraid of their monsters and ghosts? "

"Besides, those police officers have a duty to protect us.

The ruffians and hooligans in the city are rampant, and it was their dereliction of duty in the first place, so why bother to take all the faults on themselves. "

She spoke seriously, knowing that Yin Shi was always timid, so she didn't say anything more: "Today's matter is completely over here, and we don't need to tell Mother after we go back, lest she worry."

"Yes..." Yin nodded weakly, "I really shouldn't let mother worry about us anymore."

They staggered back home on the bullock cart, and wasted some time buying things, so they had already finished their meal when they got home.

Mrs. Chen brought out the food left for them, which was still steaming.

"I thought you were tired from doing business, so I made an omelette for you.

Niang also said let me fry more meat next time for you to nourish your body. "

Chen is also gentle towards Su Xiaomu now: "If you need help with anything when you go home in the future, you can tell me everything, your second sister-in-law and I have no other skills, just work."

"Second sister-in-law was joking."

"Your second sister-in-law said that these are all sincere, and she didn't do anything at home at ordinary times."

Li didn't know where it came from, she frowned and looked at them.

"Why did you come back so late today? It's an hour later than usual."

"There are some things in the shop that need to be added. It took a long time to go shopping with my sister-in-law, but at least I have bought everything, so I don't need to go there next time."

She had already discussed with Yin Shi what to say on the way.

As for the two little girls, they took Su Xiaomu's words as an imperial decree, so of course they would not tell the truth.

"Okay, but next time you have to pay attention to the time, you are all women, it's not safe to come back too late."

Looking at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Li frowned fiercely.

It is somewhat risky for the four of them to do business all day long.

If something happened to the four women, there would be no one to contribute.

"Yes, we will definitely not do it next time. Mother is worried about us, and we all know it."

Su Xiaomu really didn't want to travel at night.

The mountain road is rugged, and except for the moon hanging in the sky, there is no light to be seen.

The moonlight is soft, but not bright enough.

When she came back in the ox cart, she was worried all the way.

It's not that I'm afraid of a bandit jumping out halfway, but mainly because I'm worried that I won't be able to see the road ahead, and I will roll over and bring them down together.

After eating, they went to sleep, and the shop opened as usual the next day.

For Su Xiaomu, doing business is something he has to do unless he encounters force majeure.

"Sister-in-law, let's make ice powder first, so I can sell it in the academy later."

"Recently, the pancakes are selling well. Later, you can ask Ruonan to try frying fried dough sticks and making crispy fritters. I taught her how to do it yesterday."

While kneading the dough, Su Xiaomu arranged the things to do today.

She hoped in her heart that her business would not be affected by what happened yesterday, otherwise the four taels of silver would not be enough to compensate her.

However, it seemed that she was overthinking this matter. Not long after they opened, customers came in to order food one after another.

After a while, there were not many vacancies in the shop.
