Su Xiaomu asked him back: "The Zhou Lin who is with you seems to have a very good family background."

"So do you think that if you are poorer than others, you will be laughed at by others?"

Gu Jingcheng's lips slightly raised, "The academy is competing for knowledge, not these external things. Just because they wear better clothes and use better things than me doesn't mean they study better than me."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look into her eyes. He looked into her big, round eyes and said, "I study not only to learn more principles, but also to change our lives. What do you do?"

Doesn’t business have the same purpose as me?”

"Yes, you are right."

Su Xiaomu was pushed back by what he said, and she silently touched her forehead.

"I heard some things said by others before, and they are quite consistent with what you are saying now."

"Everyone in the same room is embroidered with silk, wearing a hat decorated with Zhuying treasures, a white jade ring around the waist, a sword on the left, and a sword on the right. They look like gods. The rest of them are wearing robes and clothes in the middle, and there is no intention of admiration."

Those who are satisfied with it will not realize that the worship of words and body is not as good as that of others."

She recited the original text.

"Presumably if that person knew you, he would become friends with you."

"There is no envy, but there is plenty of joy in it..."

Gu Jingcheng repeated her words, looking at the complexity hidden in her eyes, and what she said was somewhat meaningful, "They are very interesting words."

"I also think it's very interesting. It's better to listen to what others say than to see it yourself."

Before this, she had always felt that he was a person who cared very much about his own face.

So before when Yinshi went to give her something, he always spoke sarcastically and rarely introduced Yinshi in front of his classmates.

He has always been opposed to their doing business, especially when they did business in front of the academy, he reacted particularly loudly.

Su Xiaomu always thought that he looked down on businessmen, but now she felt that she had misjudged him.

He may not be a pedantic person, nor did he always oppose her in the past.

Maybe I misjudged him before, but it doesn't matter now.

Sooner or later, the two of them will separate. Whether the other is good or bad is not something worth taking to heart for both parties.

Su Xiaomu opened her mouth and originally had something to say, but at this time, Mrs. Li was outside calling for dinner.

Gu Jingcheng put on his robe, took one look at her and went out to eat.

Today's meal was simple, a plate of fried bacon and a plate of fried cabbage, but each person got an egg, so it wasn't considered simple.

Mrs. Li put the egg that belonged to Gu Jingcheng into his bowl and gave him a lot of bacon.

While eating her meal, she glanced worriedly into Su's cabin: "Is your wife's health feeling better?"

"She usually seems to be weak, but she was in the rain for so long when she went to find you yesterday.

I think she is going to suffer at this time. You are her husband-in-law. You must take good care of her at this time. You can't be like before. The two of you get along like strangers."

After all, he is the son he holds in his hands, and Mrs. Li still speaks in a gentle and gentle manner.

"Um."

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, he nodded slightly, his face was warm, and he didn't look impatient at all when listening to her.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li felt relieved.

Husband and wife should be in harmony. The most important thing is that they can live a good life and give her a grandson as soon as possible.

Inside the house, Su Xiaomu could hear them talking outside, but she didn't know what they said specifically.

She curled up in the quilt and held her belly, and now her lower abdomen began to throb again.

Waves of the aroma of rice wafted into the room, and she sniffed greedily.

Suddenly someone knocked on her bed, and Gu Jingcheng's familiar voice sounded outside the quilt.

"Eat something before going to bed, otherwise your stomach will feel even worse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiaomu opened a corner of the quilt and looked up. He actually moved the table next to the window, with food for her on it.

"I was afraid you didn't like greasy food, so I put the bacon in another bowl, but you have to finish the eggs to replenish your health."

He handed her the chopsticks, his tone gentler than before.

Su Xiaomu was a little uncomfortable with his gentleness.

He is a moral and grateful person. What happened today is probably because she saved him yesterday.

She reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. After thinking about this, she picked up the bowl and ate without any psychological burden. But when she turned over the chopsticks, she found two fried eggs in the bowl.

She looked at him in astonishment and said, "How come there are two of them here?"

"My mother wanted to tell me that you need to replenish your health, so I asked my sister-in-law to make it for you. Eat it quickly, otherwise the taste will change when it gets cold."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Su Xiaomu with a look of disbelief looking at the direction in which he disappeared, full of doubts.

She was feeling unwell, so it was normal for Mr. Li to make her an omelette to replenish her health, but no matter what, one omelette was too much for her.

She is not Gu Jingcheng...

She looked down at the golden fried eggs, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart.

Gu Jingcheng gave her his own eggs?

After eating, Su Xiaomu fell asleep again.

However, she got up very early on the second day. After washing up, she took the menstrual belt given to her by Yin and tried to change it in every possible way. She felt extremely disgusted and had no choice but to succumb to this helpless reality.

Just as she was washing her hands and preparing to have breakfast, she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Li in the house packing Gu Jingcheng's things for the academy.

Mrs. Yin also prepared a lot of easy food for him. She calculated the time in her mind and found that it was almost time to go to the academy.

It's just that in the past two days... she always felt that there was still something that she and him had not settled on.

She hasn't asked him about the deed to sell her body. She has saved enough money, but the deed has not been seen for a long time. This seems a bit inappropriate, right?

It was obvious that he had promised her a long time ago that he would help her find a promissory note as soon as he found a suitable opportunity.

So she didn't want to eat anymore, so she called out to Gu Jingcheng to stop, and then pulled him to the corner of the yard.

Her face was full of anxiety, and she pulled his sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

Her slender fingertips pressed against his cuffs, which were slightly white, but she said to him without noticing: "Did you ask for my rendition contract for me?"

"We agreed before. You promised me that you would return it to me."

She asked seriously, her eyes staring at Gu Jingcheng were big and round, full of urgency.

Gu Jingcheng looked at the hope in her eyes, and he felt sourness in his heart again, one after another causing his face to change slightly.

But after a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face: "When I come back next time, I will ask my mother for it."

"Next time?" Su Xiaomu was confused. She tilted her head and asked him in confusion, "Why next time? Did you not take what I said to heart or..."

"I want to go back to the academy to study now. I asked my mother last time, but she refused to give it to me. She said she wanted me to treat the relationship between you and me well, and told me to treat you well."

He stared at her hands. The white knuckles were slender. They looked weak, but they were stronger and more capable than anyone else.

"My mother said that you are very capable and can be a good wife for the Gu family. She doesn't want to let you go, and it's really troublesome for you to get the deed of sale. So next time we come back, we have to discuss this matter carefully."
