Chapter 128 Hobbies

Zheng thought carefully about what happened before, from the Gu family playing drums to complaining, to the people watching, to the confrontation in the court... to the incident with the master, everything was too detailed...

 Is he really a family man? The Gu family is just a country family and should not have this ability. Zheng shook her head and rejected her speculation.

 Is it really Wang County Cheng? Zheng was lost in thought.

At dawn, Aunt Xing was carried out by the two wives, shouting: "Let me go, I want to see the master, I want to see my son."

 Mr. Zhang said in a deep voice: "Stop her mouth!"

A woman quickly stuffed a numbing core into Aunt Xing’s mouth, and Aunt Xing struggled to hum.

The two women half dragged and half pulled her to the carriage. They both shouted "one, two, three" and then threw Aunt Xing into the carriage.

As soon as the carriage carrying Aunt Xing left the backyard of the county government office, Shopkeeper Huang received the letter.

At about this time, Gu Huayu changed Gu Chengjiao’s medicine and came out. Liao Dong came over and said, “Miss Xiaoyu, Shopkeeper Huang is here.”

 Gu Huayu nodded and ordered: "You can give the medicine to the eldest sister. Wait for the eldest sister to take the medicine and wait for the eldest sister to eat after a quarter of an hour."

 Lonicera nodded in agreement.

Gu Huayu went to the front yard and saw Shopkeeper Huang waiting for her on the corridor.

When Shopkeeper Huang saw Gu Huayu coming, he stepped forward to greet her and said, "Han Xinghua gave birth to a son last night. The child was brought to her by Mrs. Zheng to raise. Han Xinghua was sold to the dental shop early in the morning. An hour ago, she was abandoned. Han Xinghua’s hands.”

Gu Huayu nodded, "I understand, that's the end of the matter. After the autumn harvest, I plan to go to Hongcheng to have a look. You can make arrangements and come with me."

Shopkeeper Huang responded happily: "Okay, how long should we go? Are you planning to carry out your business to Hongcheng?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "We have a good harvest this year, so we have to find a way to sell things. Firstly, Shicheng is too small and cannot be sold at a high price. Secondly, I also want to visit Hongcheng."

Shopkeeper Huang knows very well that today's girls are like dragons trapped in the shallows, unable to use their hands and feet, and it will be a matter of time before they leave Shicheng.

He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's take the waterway and go north along the waterway. We'll prepare two boats down there so we can bring more cargo."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Well, Uncle Huang is here to thank you."

After Huang Xiao left, Gu Huayu was going to Zhuangzi, so she asked Qingzhu to prepare the car.

The car stopped shortly after leaving the city. Gu Huayu lifted the curtain and looked outside, asking, "What's wrong?"

Qingzhu straightened up and looked forward on tiptoes, and said, "Girl, there seems to be a fight ahead and the road is blocked."

As soon as Gu Huayu heard that there was a fight, she immediately became interested. She raised the curtain and jumped out of the car, "I'll go take a look."

Qingzhu called out worriedly: "Girl, please stay away, be careful of being stepped on."

Gu Huayu turned around and smiled, walking back and said: "Lusuo, do you think I'm the kind of person who is so stupid that people step on me? Don't worry, it's okay."

Qingzhu wanted to persuade her, but when she saw that Gu Huayu had already squeezed into the crowd, she had no choice but to shut up.

 Gu Huayu squeezed her way to the crowd and saw a few thugs punching and kicking a forty-year-old woman on the ground.

The woman held her head in her hands and curled up, allowing herself to be kicked and beaten.

 “I’ll beat you to death for letting you steal my shoes.” The round-faced chubby guy awkwardly kicked his feet at the woman and scolded her.

"Last time you stole my shoes, I didn't care about you. You're **** addicted to stealing, so you steal again this time." Another tall and skinny ruffian raised his fist to greet the woman.

"This old guy is a habitual offender who has not corrected himself. She beat me hard and beat her to death. I want to see if she has a long memory." A man in blue clothes held his hands in front of his chest and directed everyone from the side.

 “Stealing shoes?” Gu Huayu looked at the woman on the ground in confusion.

 A woman, what is she doing stealing a man’s shoes?

 The onlookers pointed and said, "People who are dozens of years old and don't learn well deserve to be beaten to death."

 “Alas, your method of attack will really kill her.” Gu Huayu said.

The leader of the thugs turned around and said, "So what if she is beaten to death? She deserves to be beaten to death for stealing people's things."

Gu Huayu folded her hands in front of her chest, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just a pair of shoes, as for letting your hands be contaminated with human life?"

After hearing this, an old man who was watching onlooked and tried to persuade him: "That girl is right. It's just a pair of shoes. It would be a sin to let someone's life get on your hands."

The leader of the gangster snorted coldly, "You put it lightly, it's just a pair of shoes. A pair of shoes isn't bought with money? If she steals it, it's not illegal for me to beat her to death."

Gu Huayu took out a piece of silver from her purse and threw it over, "You are right. The shoes were bought with silver. I will compensate you for her. Please let her go."

The man in green stretched out his hand to catch the flying silver, tossed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "My little sister is kind-hearted, and she will be rewarded with good things in the future. Okay, for the sake of my little sister interceding for her." , let’s let her go.”

The rogues all stopped and said, "Okay, let's listen to the third brother."

The man in Tsing Yi walked towards Gu Huayu and chatted up: "My sister spends a lot of money. May I ask whose family my sister belongs to?"

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at the man in green, without any fear, and asked: "What? Is something wrong?"

The man in green said with a smile: "It's nothing, nothing, little sister. Don't get me wrong. Hu San, I admire chivalrous people the most. My little sister has a philanthropic nature. I admire Hu San very much and want to make friends with my little sister."

Gu Huayu raised her finger and pointed at the woman who was unable to move on the ground, and snorted coldly: "A group of men beat an old woman. Do you admire a chivalrous person? Who are you trying to coax?"

Hu San looked back at the woman and argued: "Hey, little sister, you need to understand that she is a thief and a habitual thief. She wants to take off my shoes when we are taking a nap."

Gu Huayu glanced at Hu San, "So, a group of people should beat her?"

"What? She can't be beaten for stealing?" Hu San asked.

"It's her fault that she stole things. You guys beat her up. Are you right?" Gu Huayu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Hu San raised his hand and said, "Little girl, believe it or not, I will beat you up!"

Gu Huayu twitched the corner of her mouth and gave Hu San a disgusted look, "What? Can't explain it? Are you angry from embarrassment?"

"Boss, what are you talking about with a yellow-haired girl? We have something to do, let's go." Thin Rascal shouted.

Hu San pointed at Gu Huayu and said, "You ungrateful girl, I will remember you."

After Hu San and others left, Gu Huayu walked to the woman, knelt down and asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

 The woman let go of her hand, showed her face, and raised her eyes to look at Gu Huayu, "Thank you, I'm fine!"

Gu Huayu saw that the woman's eyes were calm and not panicked at all, so she secretly thought that this person was not a simple person.

Gu Huayu picked up a stone and scribbled on the ground, and said, "Looking at you like this, you really don't seem to be in trouble. What kind of hobby is stealing people's shoes? Don't you dislike the smell? Or do you just like the smell?"

The woman glanced at Gu Huayu, put her hands on the ground, reluctantly sat up, and raised her hands to smooth her messy hair.

He said frankly: "I don't like stealing shoes, nor do I like the smell, but I like looking at men's feet. Is this a special hobby?"

 Gu Huayu looked at the woman with a half-smile. Her navy blue clothes were stained with dust, and her fair and delicate skin was under her messy hair. If the scar on her face wasn't too ferocious, she would definitely be a beauty who still had charm.

"Like looking at men's feet? This hobby is really special." Gu Huayu repeated. "Why?"

The woman glanced sideways at Gu Huayu and said, "You are a little girl, why are you asking about this? Go, go, let's go."

Gu Huayu drew a dog on the ground, pointed it out to the woman, and said, "You call the dog biting Lu Dongbin, do you understand?"

The woman lowered her head to look at the painting on the ground, and couldn't help but laugh, "You girl, you are interesting. Thank you for helping me just now."

Gu Huayu stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it here."

The woman looked at Gu Huayu with confusion. She didn't understand what she meant and asked, "What can I bring?"

Gu Huayu asked, "I saved you, shouldn't you give me a thank you gift?"

The woman took out a smelly shoe from her arms and handed it over, "Here it is, as a thank you gift, so you can keep it."

Gu Huayu jumped up quickly and took a step back. She held her nose with her hands and leaned back. "It stinks so much. Get it away quickly."

The woman twitched her lips, threw the shoes aside, and said, "You don't want them yourself, so don't say I didn't give you a thank you gift."

Gu Huayu gave the woman a thumbs up, "It's great to have a hobby of men's smelly shoes! I admire you!" With that said, Gu Huayu turned and left.

When the woman saw Gu Huayu leaving, she shouted to her: "Little girl, what is your name? Where do you live?"

 Gu Huayu waved her hand without looking back and said in a loud voice: "No comment, Fairy Stinky Feet. We will see you later. If you are wrong, we will never see you again."

The onlookers had already dispersed when the ruffian left. The woman watched Gu Huayu get on the carriage, watched the carriage leave, and murmured: "Interesting little girl."

 Gu Huayu went to Zhuangzi. Gu Chengzhang got the letter and ran over excitedly, "Xiaoyu, you're here.

 Let me tell you, it’s made of potato starch. Grandma made hot and sour noodles according to the method you told me. I ate two big bowls.

If my mother-in-law doesn’t allow me to eat anymore, I’d like to have another bowl. Xiaoyu, the taste is simply amazing, one can't stop eating it. "

Gu Huayu smiled and asked: "Have everyone on Zhuangzi eaten it? Is there anyone who doesn't like it?"

"Don't like it? No, every one of them wants to eat the pot. They all say it's delicious! Xiaoyu, if we sell this hot and sour rice noodle in the city, we're guaranteed to get a good price." Gu Chengzhang was excited. said.

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "That's what I have in mind. I'll ask the eldest and second brothers later to see if they are willing?"

The brother and sister were talking as they entered the house. Fang came over to greet them, "Have you eaten, Xiaoyu? Can I make you a bowl of hot and sour noodles?"

Gu Huayu happily agreed, "Okay, thank you very much, Second Uncle. Thank you for your help."

"You sit down and rest for a while, I'll be back in a minute." Fang greeted and turned around to go to the kitchen.

"Second aunt, there is an extra bowl, Qingzhu didn't eat it either." Gu Huayu shouted to Fang.

"I know, don't worry." Fang responded.

Gu Huayu looked around the room and asked, "Where are my grandfather and the others? Are they going to the fields again?"

Gu Chengzhang nodded, "I'm digging sweet potatoes in the land on the riverbank. Xiaoyu, dear, these sweet potatoes are so good at harvesting them. I can dig out seven or eight sweet potatoes with one hoe. A nest of sweet potatoes can have up to seven or eight." Eight kilograms. My grandfather first estimated that the yield per mu would be about five kilograms."

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, there should be so many."

“Xiaoyu, do you know how much you can produce in advance?” Gu Chengzhang asked in disbelief.

Gu Huayu nodded and responded: "Yes, we can roughly calculate it."

Gu Chengzhang looked at Gu Huayu with admiration, "Xiaoyu, how did you calculate it? Can you teach me?"

"Okay, I'll teach you later. How much powder have you made now?" Gu Huayu agreed happily.

Gu Chengzhang pointed to the side room and said, "All the things that are done are in the side room. You can come with me to have a look."

Gu Huayu followed Gu Chengzhang to the side room.

“Look, these are ready-made vermicelli. According to what you said, they were divided into half a catty and bundled into one catty. There are a little more than three stones in total.

 In addition, there are two stone powders, and I haven’t had time to make vermicelli yet. "Gu Chengzhang said.

Gu Huayu walked around in the side room and said to Gu Chengzhang: "In the past two days, let people work harder to make two stone vermicelli, and two stone vermicelli will come out.

 In a few days, I will go to Hongcheng with shopkeeper Huang, and I will bring some to sell in Hongcheng. "

Gu Chengzhang's eyes gleamed when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

 “Xiaoyu, the hot and sour noodles are ready. Come over and eat quickly!” Fang shouted towards the side room.

"Here he is. Hurry up and make arrangements. It will take up to ten days to complete." Gu Huayu nodded in response and turned around to tell Gu Chengzhang.

Gu Chengzhang nodded in agreement, "Okay, you go eat quickly, I'll go and get busy."

  Gu Huayu chatted with Fang about everyday things while eating.

 At night, Gu Huayu stayed in Zhuangzi and told his elders about going to Hongcheng.

 Everyone hopes to sell things, so they naturally support it.

Gu Huaidong was worried about Gu Huayu's safety and asked Gu Chenglin to go with him.

Gu Huayu originally planned to take Gu Chenglin with her, so she nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back to the city and let the eldest brother and sister-in-law go to the city to look after the shop. The third brother will follow me to Hongcheng."

Gu Huayu stayed in Zhuangzi for two days and worked with Gu Dechang and Gu Chengzhang to design packaging boxes for potato noodles.

On the way back to the city, Gu Huayu said to Qingzhu: "Let's take a detour to the dock to have a look."

Qingzhu nodded in agreement and drove to the dock. He happened to see Hu San being chased and beaten.

Gu Huayu sat in the car and watched the excitement. When she saw Hu San being knocked down and having his face trampled on the ground, she said to Qingzhu: "Help him."

After Qingzhu received the order, he threw the broad beans in his hand casually. The person who was attacking Hu San was hit. He let go of Hu San in pain, turned around and cursed and asked who it was.

Hu San took the opportunity to get up, looked towards the carriage, stumbled over and shouted, "Boss, help!"

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "This guy is very smart. Since he asked for help, let's save him."

Qingzhu leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand, little one."

A few gangsters stood there and looked at the carriage, not daring to move rashly. After a while, the man in green clothes among them asked: "May I ask who the strong man in the carriage is from?"

Qingzhu jumped down from the carriage, took a step forward, and said, "Didn't you hear his call? The head of our family is his boss."
