I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

Chapter 171 The Old Man and Old Lady at the Village Entrance

"Mom, there's nothing going on between me and Wanyi, please don't misunderstand."

Mrs. Gu smiled brightly and said, "Really?"

In fact, she was just asking out of habit. She believed in her son. Her eldest son had been sensible and obedient since he was a child. Even if he had lost his memory now, he would not lose his character as a human being.

"Mom, I don't know what happened. I was saved by Wanyi. Because of her help, I was able to successfully participate in the imperial examination. As a result, Wanyi and my family... have become estranged. I will do my best to persuade her to go back as soon as possible."

Gu Fanggui avoided the main point and hid Fu Wanyi's feelings for him. In fact, he also felt that he was delaying her.

"Then... Miss Fu is our family's savior. It's also my fault. I was too impulsive this morning. I shouldn't have done that. If you have time, I'd like to ask you and Qiqi to apologize on my behalf and thank her for her kindness."

How could Gu Fanggui not understand the implicit meaning of her words?

Without waiting for an answer, Mrs. Gu tidied Gu Fanggui's clothes and said, "Okay, go back."

She also knew that Gu Fanggui must have a lot of things to do now, and he needed space and time to sort out his thoughts and feelings.

“Period.”

Zhao Qiqi could see that Mrs. Gu was hesitant to speak.

She held Mrs. Gu's hand and said, "You don't need to worry about these. As long as Gu Lin comes back to you, everything will be the best arrangement."

After sending the old lady back to her room to rest, Zhao Qiqi finally had time to help deal with things in the store.

Today she plans to serve a new type of milk tea, which is easier to make than the powdered one.

She has already contacted a dairy merchant who can supply goat milk.

This is just the raw material that can be passed on the surface, and more of it is milk purchased by Zhao Qiqi from the system.

Add pearls to make bubble milk tea, which is also very delicious.

I posted the words "today's new products" and soon many people came to ask about it.

This street is an ancient commercial street, and it is more inclined towards snacks. Generally speaking, people who come here can afford it, so people who walk along this road are potential customers of the store.

In addition to the large flow of people, people passing by are now accustomed to taking a look at the eye-catching new product introduction. Even though the selling price of pearl milk reaches 15 cents per cup, there are still many people who pay for it.

This is made quickly, so you need to prepare enough pearls in advance so that you can serve the cup right away.

In a short while, two hundred cups were sold, earning him three taels of silver.

Although fifteen cents is much more expensive than the five cents instant milk tea, this is made from cow's and goat's milk, which were scarce resources in ancient times and were also expensive. If she hadn't purchased the milk in the system, she would definitely lose money if she sold it for fifteen cents relying on the supply from milk merchants.

One day later, Gu Fanggui came again.

"Mrs. Zhao, I am free today. I can go back to Gujia Village with you and my mother."

There was no reason for Zhao Qiqi to refuse. She repeatedly reminded Gu Xiaohua to take good care of the affairs in the store. Only then did she feel at ease and took Old Mrs. Gu to get on Gu Fanggui's carriage.

Hu Lan has a hired maid to take care of her, so she doesn't need to worry.

The road became more and more bumpy and shaky. Zhao Qiqi lost her balance and almost fell into the carriage. Gu Fanggui put his hand on her in time, waited for her to sit steadily, took his hand back, and said softly, "Sorry."

Zhao Qiqi sat down somewhat awkwardly, nodded and thanked him, but silently moved away a little, trying to grab a place on the carriage where he could gain leverage.

Old Mrs. Gu squinted her eyes and dozed off, and Gu Fanggui supported her well.

finally reached.

Zhao Qiqi felt strange all the way. Gu Fanggui's carriage was not as big as theirs. Although it was not crowded for three people to sit in, it was still a bit cramped. The old lady kept squinting her eyes, as if she was asleep. She and Gu Fanggui were the only ones left, so she had to look away and try not to make eye contact with him.

Didn’t she say that it was really okay for a young girl like her to have such an awkward and unavoidable relationship with a thirty-year-old man?

The horse-drawn carriage was a new thing. In the village, no one else had one except Zhao Qiqi's family. When such a horse-drawn carriage came into the village, it was still unfamiliar and very strange and eye-catching.

Many people were looking over here. Of course, they were not going to Zhao Qiqi's house, but to the Gu family's old house, so they stopped the carriage when they arrived in the village.

The entrance to the village is a place where people tend to gather. Everyone is doing what they are doing, but their eyes are looking over here without blinking.

Zhao Qiqi got off first. Everyone sighed. As expected, it was another carriage bought by Aunt Zhao. People like them were really rich. They would never be able to catch up with it in their lifetime.

"Hey, how come Mrs. Gu also went with them? No wonder I haven't seen her in the past few days."

"Don't talk about Old Lady Gu. Didn't you notice that Dashuan's wife has also been missing these days?"

"Oh hey, they're not all going to move away, are they?"

"No way. This soap factory must have someone to look after it. Look at the business. It's getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes I see Dashuan delivering goods for several days in a row."

While they were discussing this, Gu Fanggui also got off the carriage.

Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other for many years, no one in the group recognized him. Or, they simply didn’t dare to believe it or even think about it in this way.

Zhao Qiqi is already so powerful alone now. If Gu Lin comes back, the Gu family will really be in great glory.

"I am not seeing things." An old lady rubbed her eyes. Could it be that she was getting old and her vision was getting worse? How could she see that boy Gu Lin helping old lady Gu walk in?

Of course, she was not the only one who saw it. This group of old men and women, although their eyesight was not very good, were still strong and hurried to follow.

But all they saw was their backs; Zhao Qiqi and his group had already gone into the house.

She left the mother and son behind and went out. As for the old lady, there were probably many things that were not convenient to say in front of her, and she wanted to tell Gu Fanggui.

Besides, the Xiang and Bai families as well as Gu Shun and Gu Yao were all in the workshop, and the children were still studying in school, so they had to be called back.

Zhao Qiqi planned to go to the school first as it was close to the school. But when she just walked out, she felt something was wrong. There was a large group of people standing in front of her. Zhao Qiqi didn't have time to retreat before she was stopped.

"Hey Qiqi, come here, let's ask the person inside if he is Gu Lin?"

The gossiping looks of the old men and women almost killed her, and she originally wanted to sneak past them and escape.

Looking at the situation, it’s clear that there’s no way out.

"Gu Lin... is indeed back. We just found him. Everyone is very close to my mother. Only she knows more."

After finding a place to exit, Zhao Qiqi quickly ran away. She really didn't have time to satisfy the curiosity of the old men and women.
