Gu Wen was so angry that she struck his hand again, “Father gave you all of the family business so big, and you still can’t feed Miss Song?”
“What father gives is what father gives, second sister’s family is so rich, what do they care about these few taels of silver? Besides, this is what little girl worked so hard to make for me, you can’t bear to get so much glory?”
Gu Wen was angry and laughed at the same time, “People say that when you marry a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother, but you’re so good, you’ve just gotten engaged and you don’t even recognize your second sister? I have to pay you for a jelly, I won’t eat it anymore!”
“Is she really not going to eat?”
Gu Wen nodded her head with dignity, “No, I can buy half a packet of dried meat for five taels of silver.”
“Alright then.”
Gu Yi withdrew his hand, took a pudding, opened it, took a small spoon from the side and dug a bit out, the rich milk smell ran straight into Gu Wen’s nose.
She couldn’t help but swallow a little.
As if he didn’t see it, Gu Yi put the pudding into his mouth and squinted his eyes in deliciousness.
Gu Wen couldn’t help but swallow again, and the child in her stomach moved happily as if it had also smelt the aroma.
“I’ll take two!”
Gu Yi gave a start at her words and looked at her in amazement.
Gu Wen had already reached for a jelly regardless, reaching out to open it and put it in her mouth, silky smooth with a touch of elasticity, gently biting into it and filling her mouth with fragrance.
“Second sister, your in-laws aren’t bankrupt, are they?”
Gu Wen glared at him, took another jelly and ate it into her mouth, “What are you talking about? My in-laws have plenty of money, and your brother-in-law earns even more all year round.”
Gu Yi patted himself on the chest, “I was shocked, I thought your in-laws were broke, then I would be too embarrassed to sell you anything delicious in the future.”
Gu Wen,……
stretched out her hand to take a third, and was once again stopped by Gu Yi, “Silver.”
Gu Wen also did not bargain, directly took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from her purse and slapped them into his hand, “Here you go.”
Then without ceremony, she picked up the plate, turned around and walked out.
“Hey, second sister, I haven’t eaten yet.”
Gu Wen just pretended not to hear, urging the maid to help her to go quickly.
When they were out of the courtyard door, Gu Yi looked at the silver ticket in her hand and smiled.
“Little Four.”
Xiao Si answered and went away, but in the blink of an eye he brought in a good-sized plate of jelly and pudding and placed it curtly on the table in front of Gu Yi, “Young master, I’m clever, aren’t I?”
He knew that Second Miss would come over when she smelled the scent. He was the one who gave the young master the idea to put up some of the jelly and pudding so that they wouldn’t all be taken away by the second young miss.
“Clever, reward you with a jelly.”
Xiao Si’s face fell, one jelly wasn’t enough to stuff his teeth.
Gu Yi naturally saw it and knocked him on the head, “What, too little? Can’t you see I sell them for five taels of silver a piece, or else, you pay for them too, I’ll sell you as many as you want young master.”
Xiao Si looked at the large plate of jelly and pudding with a bitter face, “Young master, please spare me, I only have one tael of silver a month, not enough to buy half a jelly.”
“Fine, young master I’m happy now, this way, you can grab as many as you like and eat as much as you like.”
“Thank you, young master.”
Little Four’s eyes were glowing, his hand opened wide, grabbed a handful of jelly then flipped his wrist, the other hand picked up quite a few more into his palm, his hand lifted upwards, almost going down a small half of the plate.
Gu Yi,……
The actual jelly is a lot more than just a little bit of a good thing.
Xiao Si’s quick eyes and hands took the jelly in his arms and he laughed straight.
……
Naturally, Song Wan Yue did not know what was happening over here, and after she finished making the snacks she went back to Dr. Yao’s place.
Dr. Yao handed her a medical book directly, “Once you have memorized all the acupuncture points on here, I will start teaching you acupuncture.”
Song Wangyue had studied Chinese medicine in her previous life and remembered the acupuncture points of the human body by heart, but she didn’t say anything and honestly flipped it open and read it carefully.
“Little girl ……”
Gu Yi entered the courtyard and walked quickly towards the house, he was stopped by Doctor Yao who was sitting at the door guarding, “Young master, Miss Song is reading a medical book, please don’t disturb her yet.”
“I was just ……”
“Nothing will do, since you want to learn medicine from me, you must abide by my rules, rest once an hour, one incense stick each time. The young master should still please come back later.”
Gu Yi glanced towards the room, and Song Wan Yue held her chin in her hands with an expression of watching a good show.
Gu Yi withdrew his gaze and did not barge in, signalling with his eyes for Xiao Si to carry a stool over and sit down opposite Doctor Yao.
He didn’t make a sound, and Dr. Yao didn’t interfere either.
As Dr. Yao looked at the medical book in his hand, a scent wafted into his nose.
Doctor Yao twitched his nose, it was a smell he had never smelt before, sweet and seemingly with a touch of milk. He put down the medical book just in time to see Gu Yi wordlessly put a transparent eating food into his mouth.
“Young master, what are you eating ……”
“Hush ……”
Gu Yi made a gesture of silence and pointed towards the room, indicating that he was disturbing Song Wan Yue.
After doing so and extending his hand, Xiao Si took another pudding and placed it in his hand.
Doctor Yao had never seen such food before, his eyes sprang to life, moving his stool to Gu Yi’s side, smiling, just about to open his mouth, Gu Yi put his finger to his mouth, “Shhh,” and pointed towards the house again.
Doctor Yao was about to die of gluttony from this new food, faking a glance at the sky, “Oops, two hours are up, Miss Song, you can rest now.”
Song Wangyue, who was about to watch a good show,……
Outside, Yao Dafu has already gone up to grab, snatching several of the ones in Xiao Si’s hand all over and walking away to eat.
Gu Yi is not slow to stand up and walk into the house.
Song Wangyue gave him a thumbs up.
Gu Yi was instantly smug, raising his head and chest, his hands behind his back, walking with a proud stride to Song Wan Yue, dejectedly pulling out two hundred taels of silver tickets and placing them in front of her, “Little girl, I’ve found a way to make money. You make some more snacks, I’ll sell them to second sister and ask her for five taels of silver for one.”
Song Wangyue, ……
……
After staying at Gu’s house for the whole day, it was getting late before Gu Yi sent Song Wan Yue home. Just as he walked into the village entrance, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of Song Ming’s house, interspersed with the sound of Er Ya’s crying.
Song Ming saw the Gu family’s carriage through a gap in the crowd and slapped it across the face, causing Er Ya to lean back and hit the ground with a thud on the back of her head.
Song Ming was still not relieved and cursed, “You’re all money losers, what’s the use of raising you?”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law, with injuries on her face, crawled over on her hands and knees and took Erma in her arms, “Erma …… Erma …… How are you?”
Erma’s cries were heartbreaking, and the onlookers blamed Song Ming.
Song Ming was cross, “Laozi discipline wife and children, what business is it of yours? All of you get lost!”
As he cursed, his eyes were fixed on the Gu family’s carriage. Seeing that the carriage was about to pass his house, Song Ming lifted his foot and kicked it over, this time directly into the face of Song Ming’s daughter-in-law, causing the two of them to fall backwards.
The mother and daughter-in-law fell backwards. The onlookers shrieked.
“Stop!”
Song Wangyue voiced out.
