But things are different now than then.

At that time, Su Xiaomu felt that he could not see the hope in front of him at this moment.

Now, what she wants, He Lishu, is right in front of her.

A beautiful future and wonderful freedom.

Su Xiaomu had already seen them waving to her not far away.

She hugged the pillow and slept comfortably all night.

She didn't hear a cock crowing or a dog barking that night, and it was almost noon when she woke up.

"Gu Jingcheng?"

Su Xiaomu rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed. No one was lying on the soft couch anymore?

She called him several times but didn't hear anyone's response. She put on her shoes and got up and went over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he left her house early.

He also cleaned his house very thoughtfully.

The unorganized objects that were originally placed in the yard were all placed exactly where she wanted them according to what she told him yesterday.

It was really strange. They had been together for so long before, and she had never found him to be such a considerate person.

Sure enough, our ancestors have a very good saying. To understand a person, you can't just listen to what he says, but also look at his actions.

She shook her head to end the topic in her mind.

After washing up, she changed her clothes and went out to visit the shops she had not finished shopping before.

She already has a rough idea in her mind about the store she wants to open.

But she hasn't figured out how to implement it, how to do business, and the specific steps.

Of course, the most important thing is that she is too busy these days and has not had time to do a more careful research on the nearby shops.

What kind of business can be done to grab the business of these shops in this busy street in a quiet and moisturizing way.

Forgive her even though she wants to make money and make big money.

But there is no background in this place, so it is better to keep a low profile at the beginning and not attract too much attention from others.

Su Xiaomu was calculating in his mind.

At this moment, a woman suddenly came up and stopped her.

The woman had a face that was very unfamiliar to her, and a voice that was so sharp that she could get goosebumps all over her body without even listening carefully.

"Oh my God, isn't this Xiaomu!"

"Why did you come to Fucheng? Look at the clothes you're wearing. The material is so good, isn't it cheap?"

The woman grabbed her arm hard and scratched the back of her hand with her long nails.

The goosebumps that Su Xiaomu had finally subsided started to pop up again.

"Who are you……"

"Oh, look at you, Xiaomu, why did you forget about our relatives so soon after you became rich?

I am the cousin of your third aunt from Niangjia. Speaking of which, I hugged you when you were a child. Do you remember?

You were ignorant at that time and peed on me..."

"I don't remember, I don't remember!"

Su Xiaomu immediately stopped what she was going to say next, "I don't remember anything. The clothes I'm wearing are not mine. I picked them up casually on the roadside. The leftovers worn by others are worthless."

Even if she is a fool, she should understand the attitude of this woman.

Good guy, are you coming to her place to enjoy the autumn breeze?

It would be too funny to give it back to her relatives on her mother's side.

Don't they know?

Is the original owner considered an object that was sold for money?

"Look at what you are talking about, Xiaomu. You must be considered a rich man now. Being rich is good. Being rich is good."

The woman's cheeks were thin and her eyes were extremely narrow.

She held Su Xiaomu's hand and looked at her whole body with her eyes from time to time.

The stubby chin and the greedy smile on her face made her look extremely vulgar and malicious at the moment.

Su Xiaomu rarely used the word vulgar to describe a woman, but at this moment, she felt that this word was very appropriate to describe her.

Her whole mind kept thinking about what to say to get rid of this relative who appeared out of nowhere.

But before she could figure out the reason, she suddenly saw Gu Jingcheng walking towards her, protecting her behind him and talking to the woman.

"Zhuo Jing and I don't know you, so you must have recognized the wrong person."

"How could I admit my mistake! Xiaomu, I hugged you when I was a child, and you don't remember it at all?"

The woman's voice suddenly became louder, and she wanted to pull her clothes off again.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, his eyes met Gu Jingcheng's cold gaze, and then he took it back angrily and struggled again.

"I just want to ask you to borrow some money. When you become rich, you can't help but take care of our poor relatives before, right?"

"I don't even know you, how can I take care of you?"

After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking, he added: "If you continue to pester us, then we will go to the official uniform to confront you and see how long your sentence will be if you extort money on the street?"

"I'm not scared, what you say is of no use to me!

Xiaomu, look how blind you are to find such a husband, I don’t think you two can be together for long!"

The woman took two steps back, spat at them, and then ran out of the alley.

Ha, Su Xiaomu was really speechless at her behavior.

Su Xiaomu was no longer in the mood to continue shopping, so she and Gu Jingcheng walked back to the courtyard.

"Aren't you going back to the inn?"

Seeing that she was about to arrive at her courtyard, Su Xiaomu stopped and secretly issued an eviction order: "It's getting late today, so I won't keep you at home..."

"I brought those things to make grape vines. Didn't you say you wanted to build a grape trellis in the yard?"

Gu Jingcheng walked around her and walked towards the small courtyard. Then he picked up the tools and materials he had placed there at the door and entered the courtyard first with a long stride.

"What else do you want? I brought a lot of things, and I can make them for you today."

"Ah? Then... then thank you."

Su Xiaomu followed him in confusion and closed the door.

Her yard is very empty, with no decoration except for a table for eating.

She really wanted to have a grape trellis and plant some flowers and plants next to it.

She personally doesn't like too much green in the house and doesn't bother to take care of it.

But she lives alone, and her life requires some sense of ritual and comfort.

So when she saw Gu Jingcheng diligently and kindly building a grape trellis for her, she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"I have nothing to repay you with, I'll just let you have a meal."

She thought that there were still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, and even if she didn't add any more today, it would still be enough to cook him a table of delicious food.

"Well, then I won't refuse."

Gu Jingcheng nodded slightly to accept her kindness, then continued to lower his head and trim the branches in his hands to the same length.

Su Xiaomu first made a dish of steamed eggs with minced meat. The eggs were delicious, delicate and smooth.

I also made a sauce skeleton, which was tender, tasty and rich in sauce aroma.

The pork backbone has the softest texture after being stewed. Picking up a big piece every time you bite makes people feel extremely refreshed.

Of course, Su Xiaomu mastered the heat very well.

Long-term stewing will not make the meat stale, but will make it more and more flavorful.

Braised pork is a must.

Su Xiaomu remembered that when they were still in the Gu family, they liked this dish very much.

The specially selected pork belly is alternately fat and lean. After being stewed, it is sweet and soft and melts in your mouth.

Each piece was covered in red and hot soup, and in the sunlight, Su Xiaomu could see that their surfaces were shiny with oil visible to the naked eye.

The last dish is dry pot sausage.

In fact, she never really liked cooking pigs, but every time she bought a lot of meat, the boss would give one as a gift.

A dish of spicy, fragrant and chewy dry pot sausage is ready.

Her meal was ready, and Gu Jingcheng's grape trellis and swing were set up.
Chapter completed!
