My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

However, what Gu Lili did not expect was that two familiar figures appeared in the yard.

The people who came were Liu Miaoyin and Liu Ying.

"Miaoyin, Madam Liu, why are you here!" Gu Lili asked in surprise.

Originally, Gu Lili had agreed with Liu Ying that Butler Liu would come to Donghai Town about five days after they set off.

It’s just right. Gu Lili saw that if there was not enough soap at home, she could buy some from the space.

Unexpectedly, the people who came were not Butler Liu, but Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin.

When Liu Miaoyin saw Gu Lili, she trotted over to her.

"Lili, you're back!" Liu Miaoyin said happily.

Liu Ying also came over with a smile on her face. He and Liu Miaoyin had been trapped in the backyard by the beast Liu Yuanliang for more than ten years, so this time he specially brought Liu Miaoyin out for a walk.

It’s a good opportunity to take a look at Li Ershu’s family.

See if it is worth entrusting your precious daughter to the Li family.

If Li's parents are not good people, then let Li Ershu marry into the family and stay in Jiangdu.

The businessmen who were drinking tea in the main room also stopped chatting and walked towards the yard.

When they were approaching Donghai Town, they heard many rumors about Gu Lili.

I also learned Gu Lili's name.

So, when he heard Liu Miaoyin's loud shout, he hurried out.

"We greet Princess Yongning!" Everyone came out and immediately saluted Gu Lili.

Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin were about to salute as well, but were stopped by Gu Lili.

"No need to be polite, please stand up. You have come here from far away. You must have signed a contract with my second uncle and are here to get the soap, right?" Gu Lili asked.

Also coming this time was Yu Shanhai.

He and Gu Lili were old acquaintances. Gu Lili exempted them from the formalities, and Yu Shanhai took the lead and stood up.

"County Lady, we come here not only to get soap, but also to take some maltose back." Yu Shanhai said straight to the point.

Gu Lili raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that her second uncle was busy with the Gu family workshop and was also selling soap and maltose.

This is very good. If you want to make money, then put in the effort and you will naturally be rewarded.

In fact, Li Ershu did not promote maltose as hard as he did soap.

Instead, every time these businessmen were invited into the teahouse, some maltose would be placed in front of each of them, and maltose water would be specially prepared by the waiter.

In this era, both sweet and salty have a strong appeal to people.

As long as they have tasted Gu Lili's malt candy, they will definitely not find the taste the same if they try other ones.

Therefore, many of them came back and asked Li Ershu about the situation of malt sugar.

This idea was thought up by Liu Miaoyin and Li Ershu.

So, sometimes, brainpower can make more money than physical labor.

Gu Lili smiled and nodded, "In that case, please move to the main hall and sit down and talk slowly."

After Gu Lili finished speaking, she looked at Liu Ying and her daughter.

"Mrs. Liu, Miaoyin, how about I ask Chenxi to take you for a walk around the neighborhood?" Gu Lili asked.

Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin are certainly different from others.

Since Liu Miaoyin is destined to marry Li Ershu in the future, the two of them are naturally his family.

Liu Ying nodded and said, "Lili, you're welcome. Miaoyin and I will just take a walk around and take a look at your courtyard. When you're done, we can talk about the past."

Gu Lili called Gu Chenxi over and asked her to accompany them around.

No one knew where Old Mrs. Li had gone today. Her future daughter-in-law had come, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Lili secretly thought in her heart that if Old Mrs. Li saw Liu Miaoyin, she would definitely be satisfied.

What Gu Lili didn't know was that at this moment, Old Mrs. Li was hiding in the toilet.

Today, Old Mrs. Li was busy helping to light the fire in the workshop and was covered in dust.

If this happened on any other day, it would be normal.

Just wash up every day.

Just as she added firewood into the stove, she suddenly felt a stomachache and hurried to the toilet to relieve herself.

But just when I finished and was about to leave the toilet, I heard a noise coming from outside.

It was said that Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin from Jiangdu came to visit Gu Lili.

This frightened Mrs. Li.

Gu Lili had told her the names of Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin, so she naturally knew who they were.

If I go out covered in dirt, it will not only be disrespectful, but will also bring shame to my son.

So she had to hide in the toilet all the time.

I thought about waiting until there was no one around, then quickly go back to the room to change clothes, tidy up, and then come out.

That's why Gu Lili didn't see her.

Although Mrs. Li is old, she has always been sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.

She heard Gu Lili asking Gu Chenxi to take the mother and daughter for a walk, so she kept listening to the footsteps.

Hearing the sounds of several footsteps heading towards the yard next door, Mrs. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Old Mrs. Li rushed out of the toilet in one quick step.

I wanted to go straight to my room to change clothes.

Who knew, after running a few steps, I heard Gu Chenxi's voice coming from behind.

"Auntie, you are in a panic, but something has happened!"

When Mrs. Li turned around, she found two gorgeously dressed women standing next to Gu Chenxi.

One is in his early thirties, the other is in her prime.

I guessed that these must be Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin, mother and daughter.

For a moment, Mrs. Li felt like crying but had no tears.

It turned out that the people who went to the next yard just now were not Gu Chenxi, Liu Miaoyin and the other two.

The three of them were originally going to the next yard, but Liu Miaoyin was attracted by the chickens and ducks raised by Gu Lili's family.

I stopped and watched for a while.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I met Old Mrs. Li running out of the toilet.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Mrs. Li wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Looking at Mrs. Li, who looked somewhat similar to Li Ershu, Liu Ying smiled and asked first, "Is this Ershu's mother?"

Mrs. Li had no choice but to nod.

When Liu Miaoyin heard this, she quickly bowed to Old Lady Li.

"Miaoyin meets Auntie!"

Liu Ying also noticed Mrs. Li's embarrassment. She was dodging just now probably because she was caught off guard by their sudden visit.

Liu Ying was a generous person. She walked forward with a smile and took Mrs. Li's hand.

"Oh, it's Sister Li. When I was in Jiangdu, I often heard Ershu mention you to me. You looked pretty strong!"

In Liu Ying's eyes, Miaoyin showed no disdain for Old Lady Li, which touched Old Lady Li deeply.

"Good child, stop being polite." Old Mrs. Li waved her hand at Liu Miaoyin.
