Gu Qingyan quickly looked away. His second uncle’s family couldn’t come back today. He looked deeply at Gu Qingli and her brothers, then gave Gu Dahe and Gu Qingming a look, and the three left quickly.

“Li ‘er, let’s go back first. I’ll come and pick you up later.” Xiao Yunjing said after the three of them left.

“Alright,” She said.

As soon as Xiao Yunjing and the others left, the twins went to pack up their prey. Only Gu Qingli went to check on Gu Dalin.

Gu Dalin’s eyes were red, and Gu Qingli sighed. She felt bad for him too. Those people had come to stab him again when he was feeling better.

Gu Qingli brought him a bowl of water and added some spiritual spring water to drink.

“Father, don’t be angry. Just treat it as they are barking here.”

Gu Dalin sighed deeply and said, “Li ‘er, father isn’t angry. Father is sad. All these years, everything father has done has been fed to the dogs.”

“It’s good that you know. Just live your own life in the future.”

“Ai! Gu Qingli also felt tired. She felt like a psychologist after giving people chicken soup for the soul every day.

Gu Qingli came out with another bowl for Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu took it and drank it. She asked sadly, “Li ‘er, is mother very useless? ”

Gu Qingli took the bowl and put it down. She sighed. She wasn’t sad and didn’t reflect on herself because of what Madam Hua had said.

Gu Qingli couldn’t understand the women’s minds. They were all weird.

“Mother, it’s not that you’re useless. You don’t know how to treat the Gu family. What Da Shuang said just now was right. Whenever you encounter a little problem, you don’t think about how to solve it. You always cry endlessly. Is there any result with that?

Like today, we’ve broken off relations with them and are no longer bound by filial piety. They can’t control us anymore. Can’t you tell them your intentions directly?

What are they shouting about?”

Mrs. Wu understood and nodded.

Gu Qingli was upset. If this was her birth mother, she could say anything she wanted, but she was her nanny who raised her. She was afraid she would hurt her fragile heart if she said anything too serious.

It took Gu Qingli a long time to convince Mrs. Wu. She didn’t want Mrs. Wu to misunderstand the two of them. She was a woman who didn’t use her brain and didn’t want to ruin a good situation.

It just happened that Xiao Yunjing came to pick her up at this time, so she said goodbye to the two and returned.

It was night, and it was quiet. The people in the village had all fallen asleep. A figure flew out of the Xiao family’s courtyard, and the figure flew back not long after.

Xiao Yunjing gently pushed the door open and gently closed it. He gently took off his clothes and lay down. As soon as he laid down, the petite person drowsily crawled into his bed.

Xiao Yunjing hugged her tightly, kissed her on the forehead lovingly, and then closed his eyes to sleep.

The next afternoon, Gu Qingli saw Dr. Li walking out of old Gu’s yard when she was taking the twins home.

The three siblings pretended not to see it.

Gu Qingli went back after sending the twins home. She told Xiao Yunjing about seeing Dr. Li, and the latter only smiled.

“Shall we go to town tomorrow?” It was almost the new year, so she had to make new clothes. She wore new clothes, and Xiao Yunjing wore old ones from previous years. She wanted to buy a set for him.

“Sure, I still want to go to the county to take a look. There’s so much game; we have to sell some. If there’s too much, we won’t be able to finish it. Xiao Yunjing said.

Gu Qingli nodded happily when she heard they were going to the county. That was great! She could go and sell some things. She had a lot of stock in her space.

The town was too small, and her things would be exposed if she sold them in the city.

At night, the Xiao brothers tidied up the prey they would sell the next day before going to bed.

“Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang will be sent to a private school next year. Will Xiao’s family send the others ?” Gu Qingli had wanted to ask Xiao Yunjing.

“Father and mother have the final say in this matter,” Xiao Yunjing said after hesitating.

Gu Qingli frowned and stopped asking.

Xiao Yunjing had wanted to tell her about his family but now was not the time. He was afraid she would overthink it, so he said, “I’ll tell you about our family matters when the time is right.”

“The eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don’t know either?”

“Yes, they don’t know.”

“You guys aren’t fugitives or something, are you?”

“What are you thinking about? No, go to sleep.” Xiao Yunjing found it funny. Did their family look like fugitives?

“Oh.”

It’s good that he’s not. If he’s a fugitive, it’ll be hard for him to live a life of vagrancy in the future.

She still wanted to buy land next year and become a matriarch.

The next day, the whole family got up early and packed up. After Mrs. Jiang told boss Xiao what they would buy, he, Xiao Yunjing, and Gu Qingli got on the ox-cart and went to the county.

It wasn’t snowing that day so the ox-cart could move on the road. Xiao Yunjing drove the cart unhurriedly toward the county.

It was Gu Qingli’s first time going to a county town. She pulled her clothes together tightly and sat on the cart, following the ox-cart as she looked at the scenery on the side of the road.

The surrounding mountains, villages, and fields were all covered in snow. It was a vast expanse of white.

Gu Qingli wanted to take a picture with her phone in her space. It was so beautiful.

There were also trees on the side of the road. The snow bent the branches, and each branch was white and black. The black and white were very distinct. When the breeze blew, the snow on the branches fell, and the limbs trembled as if they were broken.

Gu Qingli’s heart trembled at the sight. She feared a branch would fall and ruin the tree’s beauty.

Ai! It was beautiful, but it was too cold.

When they approached the county, they could see carriages and pedestrians entering the city.

The pedestrians were all walking with tottering steps.

Gu Qingli sighed. The traffic in ancient times was worrisome. It was a pity that she couldn’t drive the car in her space, so it could only eat dust in her space.

While Gu Qingli sighed, the carriage arrived at the city gate. She looked up at the tall red gate about ten meters high and had two watchtowers.

The words ‘Qinghe County’ could be vaguely seen on the city gate.

Only a few people were entering the city. The soldiers guarding the city roughly looked at the things in their carriages and let them enter the city.

Xiao Yunjing drove the ox-cart straight to Fortune restaurant. Gu Qingli watched the ox-cart from outside when they reached the back door, and the brothers carried the prey in.

The two brothers came out happily in less than half an incense’s time.

“Let’s go and buy something.” Boss Xiao said with a big smile.

“Alright,” they said. Xiao Yunjing and Gu Qingli both nodded.

The three first went to the grain store and bought 200 catties of rice, 100 catties of flour, oil, salt, and some condiments.

Gu Qingli looked at the shops on the street and saw signs for medicine and clothing shops.

“Yunjing, you can shop here. I’ll go to the boutique over there.”
