Mrs. Wang looked at her back suspiciously, and didn’t recover until Gu Yin called her into the room.

In the afternoon, Aunt Ge came, and Gu Yin shared the money with her, signed the contract, and went to rest after she was done.

In the middle of the night, she woke up as usual, but suddenly found someone sitting on the bedside!

Gu Yin almost screamed, but Mrs. Wang hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, it’s me.”

Gu Yin exhaled, “Mother, you came to call to get me up, so shout directly. Why did you sit here without saying a word? It scared me a lot.”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly held the lamp, brought her a bowl of water, and explained, “I was going to come in to call you, but when I came in, I saw that you were sleeping soundly. I thought of letting you sleep a little longer, so I sat down thinking about something.”

Gu Yin asked her while drinking water, “What matter is troubling you?”

Mrs. Wang lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “Your Aunt Xu seems to be interested in Officer Caotou.”

Gu Yin almost spat out a sip of water from her mouth, “Why did you say this for no reason?!”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly gave her relief, “I didn’t say it for nothing, you were there during the day. Before Officer Caotou came, your Aunt Xu was yelling at me. When he appeared, she suddenly held her temper, didn’t you see that?”

Gu Yin got up and dressed, “Didn’t you say that Officer Caotou was threatening? You were so frightened that you didn’t dare to say a word, so you wouldn’t let Aunt Xu be the same?”

“Hey, that’s different!”

As for the difference, Mrs. Wang couldn’t tell for a while.

The two entered the kitchen and started to work, Gu Yin had to tell her, “Aunt Xu had been a widow for many years, and Young Master Xu is going to take the imperial examination. Even if you have this conjecture, you can’t reveal it.”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, “I know even if you didn’t tell me!”

At that time, Xiao Wu’an also got up and came over, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately stopped talking about it.

It was busy until dawn again. The family and Aunt Ge, who came to pick up the goods, went to the pier.

Gu Yin was surprised to find that there was a large potato in the open space of her stall.

“Would potatoes grow on their own in this open space?” Mrs. Wang picked up the potato and looked suspiciously at the bluestone floor.

Aunt Ge looked at it with a smile and said, “It was sent by the child. Usually when he eats here, he always brings something the next day. Sometimes it’s a little sparrow, sometimes it’s a rag head he picked up… He brought all kinds of strange things.”

After Gu Yin watched people feed stray cats on the news, the cat would try to bring something in return.

Unexpectedly, this child not only looked like a cat, but also acted like one.

They laughed, and started a busy day. They were busy until noon when Aunt Ge came with an empty steamer.

In the past two days, because of Gu Yin’s buns, her family’s business had improved a lot. In the past, because of not much profit, the couple could not rest after finishing the morning market, and they had to sell noodles for the afternoon.

When people rushed to the ship, it was usually in the morning. The difference between the passenger flow in the afternoon and the morning was huge.

Since the agreement, the old couple could finally rest for half a day.

And after two days of cooperation, Gu Yin could share as much as she should, and she didn’t even hide the fact that she got rice that was 20% cheaper than the market price. Although Aunt Ge insisted that the part of the profit belonged to her and was unwilling to overcharge, she still accepted her love in the end.

She took Gu Yin’s hand and complimented her until the stall was closed, and then reluctantly left.

The progress in the past two days had been really good, and when she heard someone compliment her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang was also very happy. When the stall was closed, she hummed a little song.

Gu Yin smiled and turned to Xiao Wu’an who was supposed to put away the empty bowl on the table, only to see that little guy sitting at the low table and he was tinkering with something.

She put the things down and walked over, and saw Xiao Wu’an taking something from his small pouch and handing it to the table.

“What are you doing?” Gu Yinte lowered her voice for fear of frightening him.

Xiao Wu’an’s body suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head slowly. His face was full of guilt, “I didn’t, didn’t do anything.”

“Huh?” Gu Yin raised her eyebrows to look at him, “Good boy, don’t lie.”

Xiao Wu’an still hesitated to speak, but at that time, a small hand stuck out from under the table.

When the matter was revealed, Xiao Wu’an was so anxious that he almost cried.

He just saw the kid coming again, looking at the leftovers on the table. He felt uncomfortable. He remembered that he still had the lard residue in his pouch that he didn’t want to eat, so he took it out and handed one to him.

But after the kid ate one, he stretched out his hand. He gave one again, and then gave a half of it.

He knew that the lard residue was a very expensive thing, and his sister-in-law was not willing to eat it. Although his mother was as greedy as him, she only ate a few pieces with restraint, and left the rest for him to eat slowly.
