Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Chapter 307 The control group of the heroine in the 7s

In the following days, as time passed, policies were gradually relaxed.

More and more people set up stalls in the town, and the food on Shi Yan and Gu Zhen's carts became more diverse.

In the end, as the amount of ingredients Gu Zhen had to prepare increased and the time he spent setting up his stall became longer and longer, he simply bought a somewhat shabby courtyard in the town.

The front yard of the courtyard became the storefront, dedicated to food, while the back yard was used for living.

As for the small courtyard in the village, they only return there when Gu Song and Gu Tao schools are on vacation.

Because Shi Yan and Gu Zhen both behaved very low-key in the village. They got up early and went to the city late every day, but there was no improvement in their daily lives.

It was not until Gu Zhen's family moved into the city that the villagers knew that the young couple Gu Zhen and Shi Yan had become rich.

I regretted not following Gu Zhen and others’ example and setting up a stall together.

"Oh, you are really a young man with a quick mind. Just by selling some food, you can buy a house in the city. Now you are considered half a city dweller!"

Standing or sitting under the trees at the entrance of the village, where they were enjoying the cool air and chatting, were all women from various families in the village.

When one of the aunts spoke about Gu Zhen and Shi Yan, who had recently become celebrities in the village, her tone was full of jealousy.

She scanned the crowd, trying to find someone who shared the same ideals as her, but happened to see Shi's mother who was about to sneak away.

"It's still early, everyone! Where are you going? Let's chat for a while!"

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that Gu Zhen is your son-in-law after all, and he has never missed a gift for the New Year or other festivals."

"There are no elders in their family now, so the money is not given to you to manage!"

Some people are born narrow-minded. This aunt was jealous of Shi Yan and Gu Zhen entering the city. She couldn't think of them, so she had to vent her anger on Shi's mother.

Of course, Shi Mu was no pushover. She couldn't let herself lose face, so she quickly pretended to be a loving mother.

"This little Gu, and my daughter are both filial. Every time I tell them not to bring anything to their house, they insist on bringing it. I am tired of saying no."

"Besides, why should I care about the money you mentioned? They are both old enough to take care of things. As their mother, I must give them the opportunity to stand on their own feet."

"Besides, my family has also made a little money from this business. My daughter-in-law gets up early and goes to the town to set up a stall every day. Our family's money jar has become much fatter in the past two years."

If what Shi Mu said before were all polite words, then what she said now were all from her heart.

Although sweet potatoes only cost one cent each and are not very valuable, they are all bought from the money-losing goods at home, so selling sweet potatoes is basically a business with no capital investment.

Although I don’t earn much, if I save it up, it’s more than what I can earn working in the fields.

She had thought about it before, why not just not give up and stay at home to enjoy her retirement. After all, her daughter-in-law can earn money, so it's time for her to enjoy a peaceful life.

"Oh, your family has found a good daughter-in-law, but you guys don't have the money to move to the city and become city dwellers!"

What I am saying now is completely spoken in anger.

After all, this aunt who was causing trouble verbally didn't get anything good and was also slapped in the face by others.

It’s just that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

When the mother thought about it, as they were also in business, she always felt that the money her daughter-in-law brought back was a lot.

She estimated that Shi Yan and Gu Zhen probably had only a little more than them.

How come Gu Zhen and his family have enough money to buy a yard, and are also supporting the two children's education.

Their family was reluctant to spend a single cent of their money, but if all the money was added up, it would probably be difficult for them to buy a place big enough for a toilet in the city.

After a careful comparison, Shi's mother felt that there might be something fishy about the money her daughter-in-law brought back.

Shi's mother never finds fault with herself, and she never thinks about what kind of food Shi Yan and the others sell, and how much they are willing to spend on the ingredients.

As for Gu Xiang, although her skill in roasting sweet potatoes became better and better, sweet potatoes are not a good thing and no one wants to eat them every day.

Of course, if she wanted to sell at a high price, she would raise the price when the weather was cold. Sometimes, when her products could not be sold in the city, she would walk to the city and sell them to passers-by on the street.

Mother didn't care about these things at all. She had already determined that Gu Xiang was cheating, so she immediately took advantage of the fact that Gu Xiang was still in the city and hurried back home.

There was no one at the Shi family at the moment. Shi Jiacheng was out playing all day and never came home, while Shi's father followed the men in the village to dig silt from the dam upstream.

So after Shi's mother returned home, she easily entered Gu Xiang and Shi Jiacheng's house.

The house was so small, and when Shi Jiacheng and Gu Xiang got married, they didn't buy any furniture. Shi's mother rummaged through the drawers and soon found the biscuit box with money on it that was hidden in the hole in the kang.

There were six big unity tickets in total. Although not as many as Shi's mother had imagined, it was enough to prove that Gu Xiang had embezzled money.

Shi's mother was so angry that she thought that if Gu Xiang took the money, she might have eaten and drank well in the town, so this was the only thing left.

Shi's mother felt that the matter could not be let go, so she simply sat under the eaves of the main room, ready to wait for Gu Xiang to come back and give her a thorough interrogation.
