After leaving the restaurant, a few people went straight to the grain store. They had gone there several times in the past few days, and all the clerks in the store recognized them.

"Mom, what are you buying this time?" The waiter greeted enthusiastically. Although this family wore patched clothes, they bought a lot of things every time they came.

"Brother, here's a bag of white flour, a bag of polished rice, and a bag of paddy." Gu Yunxi replied to the boy after discussing with He.

The guy almost thought he heard wrong. One hundred pounds each? That's one hundred pounds per sack. Who would buy so much food at once?

"What? Sir, do you mean one hundred pounds?" The clerk scratched his head and asked with some uncertainty.

Gu Yunxi nodded: "Yes! One hundred catties each."

Taking advantage of the break of buying grain, Gu Yunxi discussed with He and Lu Jianchuan how to get so much grain home, and wanted Lu Jianchuan to go to the car dealership to hire an ox cart.

So, after buying the grain, I said hello to the clerk and put the grain in their store first, and then they went to the horse and carriage shop.

The carriage and horse shop was almost entirely filled with horse-drawn carriages. The only ox-cart was rented by another family first.

I had no choice but to spend fifty coins to hire a carriage, which made Mr. He very distressed. This is still a bargain from sixty cents to fifty cents!

Gu Yunxi wanted to buy one directly, but when he asked about the price, it cost dozens of taels for the carriage and horse. It was too expensive, so he gave up the idea for the time being.

The driver was very skilled in driving, and he quickly arrived at the entrance of the grain store. With the help of the cart driver and the clerk from the grain store, the large sacks of grain were quickly loaded onto the ox cart.

"Drive... drive..." Normally, it would take two hours to travel quickly, but with the carriage, we returned to the village in less than half an hour.

Someone in the village saw a carriage and thought it was very strange. They thought it was a wealthy relative of some family.

When the carriage arrived at the door of the Lu family, everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped. This... When did the Lu family become so rich? Can you still afford a horse-drawn carriage?

Lu Jianchuan was the first to get off the carriage. After getting off, he first helped He down and then Gu Yunxi.

Looking at Lu Jianchuan's outstretched hand, the slender and slender fingers looked very good-looking. This guy really had a good skin.

With this thought in his mind, Gu Yunxi stretched out his hand, held Lu Jianchuan's palm, and used his strength to get out of the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, she immediately let go of Lu Jianchuan's hand, but her white earlobes were slightly red.

Lu Jianchuan saw it, his long eyelashes fluttered at his eyelids, and there was a smile on his lips. There was a warmth in Gu Yunxi's hand, which made him have the urge to hold it all the time.

He called Father Lu to come out and carry the food, and Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan also carried a bag.

"Oh, Sister-in-law He, is your family getting rich? Buy so much food." A woman came over and said.

"What kind of fortune have you made? Let me tell you, everyone is from the same village, so they can help us make money." Some women spoke with a sour taste.

Gu Yunxi had already guessed that someone in the village would be jealous, so he discussed the explanation with He on the road.

Mr. He smiled and said, "There's no way we can make any money. It's just that our family went to town and sold an ancestral recipe and got some money to make ends meet."

"Your family's ancestral recipe?" The woman was a little confused. The Lu family still had ancestral recipes.

"Alas! Speaking of which, this is really a shame for our ancestors."

"His aunt, if it weren't for the difficulty of living these days and seeing our children starving to death, who would have thought of selling the ancestral prescription."

"Ahem, that's right, um, Sister-in-law He, when every family has difficulties, I don't think your ancestors will blame them." The woman smiled coquettishly, but she comforted her with a hint of sincerity.

However, the Lu family bought several bags of grain at once, which made people really jealous.

He pressed her eyes with her sleeves and waited until everyone dispersed before entering the room.

It's true as Yun Xi said, what the village fears most is that if someone suddenly becomes rich, they will be envied, jealous, and hated by others.

Fortunately, we discussed countermeasures on the carriage today, otherwise He's character would really not know how to deal with these women.

"Wow! Mom, all these grains belong to our family?" Lu Qingqing heard the noise and came out of the house. When she saw the grains, her eyes lit up.

"Yes, thanks to your sister-in-law, these were all bought with the money your sister-in-law sold." He explained, pointing at Gu Yunxi, with no trace of gratitude on her face.

"Sister-in-law, thank you!" Lu Qingqing heard this and looked at Gu Yunxi with eyes full of admiration.

"Sister-in-law, thank you!" After taking a nap, Lu Jianan came out of the house with fluffy hair. He was still in a daze, and he also imitated Lu Qingqing's speech, which was very cute.

Seeing Lu Jianan like this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

This made Gu Yunxi a little embarrassed: "Oh, mother, Qingqing, we are all a family, these are what I should do."

"Yes, mother, we are all a family, so don't talk about two families." Lu Jianchuan continued what Gu Yunxi said, and his tone was a little more emphasis on the word "family".

Why does this guy feel a little different recently than before? Gu Yunxi always felt that something was strange when he saw Lu Jianchuan like this, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

In the evening, after the family had dinner, Gu Yunxi was watching Lu Qingqing painting in the room, and He pulled Lu Jianchuan out of the house.

"Achuan, tell me, where did Yunxi's recipe come from? Could it be the recipe passed down by their old Gu family?" He lowered his voice and asked Lu Jianchuan in a low voice.

"Mom, it shouldn't be possible." Lu Jianchuan said after being silent for a few seconds.

According to his understanding of the Gu family, if the Gu family had this prescription, they would have taken it out for business or even sold the prescription.

Besides, what is the attitude of the Gu family towards the two sisters Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle? How could they let them know such a recipe and bring it to their husband's house?

Therefore, this recipe could only be Gu Yunxi's own.

After going through it in his mind, Lu Jianchuan said to Mrs. He: "Mom, according to my understanding of the Gu family, this recipe should be Yunxi's and has nothing to do with the Gu family. Don't worry."

"Then, where did Yunxi get this recipe? If she had come up with this recipe, she would have..." At this point, He suddenly realized something and her words stopped abruptly.

Lu Jianchuan knew in his heart that what He wanted to say was that if Gu Yunxi could come up with this recipe in the Gu family, Mrs. Gu would not have secretly married Gu Yunxi to a cripple like herself just because of the Lu family's five taels of bride price.
