Li's handkerchief was about to be twisted to pieces by herself. She really hated herself for not being Guo Shun's wife. Otherwise, she would have no idea how to deal with those little bitches.

After noon, the villagers who delivered the mushrooms took the silver home one after another, and the bustling Zhao family courtyard returned to its previous quietness.

Zhao Da invited Guo Shun into the main room, and Li Shi hurriedly brought the tea that she had prepared long ago. While receiving the tea, Guo Shun secretly touched Li's white hand.

Li was facing away from Zhao Da's sight, and when Guo Shun touched her hand, she suddenly felt at ease. She turned around shyly, but saw the dirty Zhao Da with a grin on his face. She forced a smile at him and went to the kitchen.

The servant came in and asked, "Master Guo, shall I go back to Wenxiangju first?"

Guo Shun thought for a moment and said, "Send all the mushrooms back."

At this time, Guo Shun felt like he was a master.

When Zhao Da saw Guo Shun giving orders to the servant, he instantly felt that Guo Shun became more powerful.

The boy was actually a waiter at Wenxiangju. Manager Guo specifically asked him to follow Guo Shun to collect mushrooms. He was very tactful and pretended to be Guo Shun's personal boy.

After getting Gu Shun's affirmation, he went out to find a donkey cart to transport mushrooms.

After the servant left, Zhao Da chatted with Guo Shun attentively.

When Li put the food on the table and was about to leave, Guo Shun looked at Zhao Da and said, "Zhao Da, you and I are like brothers. You and I should eat together. There is no need to leave."

Zhao Da readily agreed and said to Li: "My lady, you see, Brother Guo has already said that we should have dinner together."

Li bowed and sat next to Zhao Da.

Guo Shun didn't even look at Li, and asked Zhao Da to go to the yard and bring in the wine he had brought.

Zhao Da felt a little embarrassed. Brother Guo came to help and even brought some drinks. He should have prepared the drinks to entertain Brother Guo.

Perhaps Brother Guo was not used to drinking the wine brought from the village, so he stood up and went to get the wine.

Renyi Village, Xia Family

Xia Liu looked at the jade pendant in her hand, her face pale, and she grabbed Xia Xuelian's arm and asked, "Lian'er, this... jade pendant... is wrong."

Xia Xuelian looked at the pale Xia Liushi, a little confused: "Mom, what's wrong with this jade pendant?"

Xia Liu took two deep breaths and said, "Lian'er, tell me the truth. Is this the jade pendant you always wear?"

Xia Xuelian felt a little guilty, but still said stubbornly: "Of course, mother, don't you believe me?"

Seeing that her daughter still didn't tell the truth, Xia Liu was very disappointed and said angrily: "Are you still going to lie to me? This is obviously your sister's jade pendant."

The jade pendant is warm and translucent in color, very similar to the jade pendant of the eldest girl. However, the jade pendant of the eldest girl is dark in color and the pattern is also different. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell the difference.

Xia Xuelian felt very aggrieved when she saw that her mother, who had always loved her, was so mean to her because of a jade pendant, and she turned around and ran away.

Xia Liu was very disappointed with her youngest daughter and wondered why she was wearing this jade pendant?

The food is over five flavors, and the wine is over three rounds.

This was the happiest day for Zhao Da in the past few years. Thanks to his brother, he made money, and his wife would no longer have to work hard doing embroidery.

Guo Shun watched Zhao Da lying on the table and poured another glass of wine: "Brother, let's have the last drink."

Li couldn't resist Zhao Da's persuasion and took a small drink. Her face was flushed and her eyes were a little blurred.

Guo Shun stood up and helped Zhao Da, who was lying on the table, up. Li also stood up to help Zhao Da up, and their hands were crossed on Zhao Da's back at the same time.
