”I'm on credit. I'm on credit at the village supermarket. Remember my dad's name!” Gu Lin Huan said in a clear voice.
”Alright,” Old Madam Gu was infuriated. ”Don't you know how to credit a bag of noodles and order dishes?”
”This won't do!” Gu Lin Huan shook her head. ”I've already made a lot of loans a few days ago, but they're not willing to make any loans. I'm the one who stubbornly agreed to this. Dad, you'd better remember to pay me back!”
Gu Youcai's temples throbbed as he roared, ”Scram, scram!”
How could a great scholar like him, who only had a few hundred royalties for a script, actually go and buy money on credit? How could he face the boast he had made over the years!
Gu Lin Huan curled her lips and happily left.
It wasn't until Old Madam Gu had left that Gu Lin Huan brought Lin Susu and Gu Lin Le back.
Ye Fen's husband was a jogger and often went out for transport. Sometimes three to five days, sometimes even half a month. Coincidentally, during this period of time, her husband had gone out again.
Thus, Gu Lin Huan and Lin Susu went to Ye Fen's house every day to get food. In reality, Gu Lin Huan was the one who bought the noodles and vegetables for her or gave Ye Fen the money to buy them.
Gu Youcai was very angry. ”Don't go home every day, what do you look like?”
Gu Lin Huan immediately said, ”Dad, we don't have much corn noodles left. I have to keep it for you and Grandma, so we can only go to Aunt Ye's house to eat. How about you give me some money to buy some flour?”
Gu Youcai flew into a rage, ”The farmers don't even have a face in their house? What a disgrace! Where did we get our wheat from?”
Gu Linhuan replied in an even more slurred tone, ”Sigh, didn't they all go to Grandma and Eldest Uncle's mother? ”Oh yeah, dad, go get some noodles from uncle's family. It's Mom's fault for sowing wheat and collecting wheat. Why would you give it to her family?”
Gu Youcai was so angry that smoke rose from his organs.
Wang Hongying was in a hurry to gather money to send Gu Xiaoyun to high school. She had already sold most of her wheat, so where could she get it from? Besides, how could he get the things that were in Wang Hongying's yard back?
If he said that Gu Lin Huan was able to get back at him with a few words, he wouldn't be able to win against her.
Forget it, let's not bother about it anymore. Anyway, he and Old Madam Gu could eat at Wang Hongying's house.
Gu Youcai left in a huff and was about to leave for Wang Hongying's house.
Gu Lin Huan followed him out and shouted behind him, ”Dad, are you going to eat at Uncle's mother's place again? Eldest Uncle went out to work. What work does Eldest Uncle's wife have? If you're late, then don't come back to sleep. My mom and I will go to someone else's house to eat. If you're hungry, then do it … ”
Gu Youcai stopped in his tracks, gritted his teeth, and turned around to glare fiercely at Gu Lin Huan.
Why are you saying it so loudly? Why are you saying it so indistinctly? The two families were right next door to each other. What do you mean don't come back to sleep if you're late?!
What do you think?
Gu Youcai turned around and whipped a willow branch towards Gu Lin Huan, cursing her in a low voice, ”You stupid girl, I told you to spout nonsense. Who said I was going to your uncle's house? I'm going out for a stroll! ”
Gu Lin Huan dexterously jumped away and happily said, ”Ah, dad, do you remember to come back to eat? You still have a place to sleep? Let me heat you up.”
F * ck? It had already been two days, could he still eat in the middle of summer?
Gu Youcai threw the willow branch away in anger and turned to leave.
Gu Youcai found it embarrassing to go to Wang Hongying's house after hearing what she said. She walked around for a while, hungry, and tried to find a way to eat more.
Gu Lin Huan ignored him and turned around to Ye Fen's house to pack up and start cooking the stewed pork ribs.
In order to gather money for Gu Xiaoyi, Wang Hongying had recently become a lot more frugal when it came to eating. She didn't even eat meat anymore, so she ate some soy eggplants every day, and didn't even dare to eat soy eggplants. She wanted to sell them for money.
This made Old Madam Gu, who was eating here, feel very uncomfortable. She was very greedy. Usually, the fish were unceasing, but now she ate vegetables every day. It was so light that there was no taste in her mouth. But there was no other way around it. Collect some money for Gu Xiaoman. It was five thousand yuan!
Gu Xiaoman refused to repeat her studies, so she spent money to go to high school.
