Gu Sihe skipped back home first, delivered his mother's instructions to his brothers, and then helped to clean up the freshly baked buns, but he never forgot to secretly keep an eye on that person.

But when the bun stall reopened, the man was still squatting in the grass and didn't do anything strange.

With the foundation laid yesterday, the bun stall made even better profits today and sold out in a short time.

Gu Ermiao took a quick look at the bills and found that the amount owed was very small.

He was smiling happily and thought that everyone would be very happy when the money was divided tonight, but he didn't expect that the money he earned was not even enough in front of Lin Yuanxin.

When Gu Sihe helped carry the small stool back home, he looked in the direction where the man had disappeared and found that he had disappeared. He instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

But before my pounding heartbeat could return to normal, I suddenly heard someone next to me ask:

"Little brother, do you still have buns for sale?"

The sound was like a thunderclap, and Gu Sihe was so scared that he screamed and sat down on the ground. When he looked up, it was the person squatting in the bushes.

I couldn't see clearly from a distance just now, but now I can see clearly that this person is shaped like a bamboo pole, his whole body seems to be stretched out, he has a long face and a mustache, long arms and legs, and a pair of eyes that look like they were pierced out by bamboo strips.

Although he was smiling, Gu Sihe inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

This guy is definitely what my mother calls a smiling tiger!

Gu Sihe knew that this person was not easy to mess with, so he immediately put on a flattering smile and said:

"I'm so sorry, uncle. It's really unfortunate that we've sold out of buns today. How about this? No matter when you come tomorrow, I'll keep some for you. Are five enough?"

The man rolled his eyes around a few times and sighed with regret.

"Hey, to be honest, little brother, I'm a refugee from somewhere else. I couldn't move my legs when I got here, and the aroma of your buns really tempted me.

"Just think of it as pity for me. It's okay. Even if it's just leftovers, just give me a bite..."

Lin Qing's family rushed out when they heard Gu Sihe's movement. Now they saw this neatly dressed "refugee" blackmailing people online, and they all gritted their teeth.

Gu Ermiao pulled Gu Sihe over and said politely, "Since you're hungry and have come to my door, it's fate. Xiaoxin, isn't there a hot steamed bun in the pot? Go and get it for this uncle."

The man seemed to have not expected that Gu Ermiao would have this trick. When he was hesitating whether to agree or not, Gu Sihe had already snatched the steamed bread and stuffed it into his arms.

"Uncle, please eat quickly. I see you're starving! Don't faint at my doorstep and get into trouble!"

Lin Yuanxin handed over a bowl of cold water and said with a smile: "It's hard to choke if you only eat steamed bread, so please drink some water. But my family is really poor and we don't have firewood, so we only have cold water..."

The man looked at the steamed bread and then at the water. Finally, he made up his mind and finished the steamed bread in just a few bites.

As a result, the speed was too fast and he almost choked and rolled his eyes. He hurriedly took the cold water and drank it all in one gulp.

The steamed bread was hot and the water was cold. The two things reacted in his stomach in a moment. He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.

The whole family smiled at his hurriedly fleeing back.

No matter who you are, if you dare to harm our family, I will teach you a lesson!

In fact, this person was the "undercover" sent by Wang Xiucai.

After Song Youliang instigated the funeral and left without saying goodbye, Mr. Wang felt more and more that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, he didn't have any close personal relationship with the village head of Songsi Village. Even if what the other party said was true, there was no need for him to travel all the way and tell him in person.

What's more, Song Youliangcai is not a good person. He would do this for sure because it would be profitable.

But what does he want?

Mr. Wang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Oh, yes, he must be after my family background and wants to become my relative!

I heard she has a girl waiting to be married, so that must be the case!

I didn’t expect that Wang Runhe, who looked so unlucky, was actually such a popular guy.

Well, it's better to marry into the village head's family and tell others about it than to get involved with a small family like the Gu family.

Mr. Wang looked at Gu Daya who was still making arrangements in the distance and began to think about how to cancel the engagement.

By the way, didn’t Song Youliang just give me a perfect excuse?

So, Mr. Wang specially sent the most clever young man in the clan to Songsi Village to gather information, hoping to find evidence and succeed in one fell swoop.

I was expecting him to get to the bottom of the Gu family, but unexpectedly, this useless guy came back as if he had dysentery. Before I could even answer, he started running to the toilet.

After a day or two of this without any improvement, Mr. Wang was afraid that the guy had dysentery, so he stopped paying any attention to him.

But unexpectedly, his family started spreading nonsense, saying that his husband fell ill in bed because of doing things for him, and that Mr. Wang only used people in front and not behind.

As a scholar, what he cared about most was naturally his reputation, so he had to spend money to buy peace of mind.

It seems that no one can be relied upon. If you want to accomplish anything, you have to do it yourself.

Regardless of what Mr. Wang was planning, Lin Qing's family's dinner today was naturally steamed buns and porridge. It was not until dark that Gu Sanmu returned home exhausted.

Gu Sihe was very considerate and handed over a bowl of porridge at just the right temperature. After Gu Sanmu gulped it down, he wiped his mouth and apologized hastily.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Youzu and I have been roaming the entire mountain, leaving everyone hungry and waiting for me."

Gu Sihe took the bowl and said with great admiration: "Third brother, you are really amazing. You can actually stay with Grandpa Youzu for a whole day. Apart from anything else, none of us can do this."

Gu Sanmu said, "Shihe, what you said doesn't make sense. Grandpa Youzu may look strict, but he's actually very easy to get along with..."

Gu Sihe couldn't help but shiver all over.

"Third brother, go ask around in Mansong Village 4. If there's even one person who agrees with what you just said, I'll give you five cents... no, ten cents! Even if you win, I'll give you ten cents too!"

Lin Qing saw that Gu Sihe, who was so young, was talking about gambling so naturally. He also saw that the other brothers seemed to be used to it. He sternly stopped them and said:

"Sihe, stop talking about people behind their backs! Also, if I hear any of you making random bets again, don't blame me for being rude!"

When Gu Sihe saw his mother was so angry, he didn't know what he had said wrong for a moment. He felt as dejected as a frost-bitten eggplant.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again."

Lin Qing stared at the children and said, "'No one can win in a long time of gambling.' If you deliberately rely on gambling to win something, even if you succeed, it will only be a temporary luck. It's better to work hard and earn a good future for yourself. After all, no one can guarantee that God will be on their side forever."

Gu Sihe finally understood his mother's painstaking efforts. He pouted and was about to cry, but Gu Ermiao slapped him hard on the back.

"Mom is right! Besides, you have ten cents to lose! You're already feeling cocky after just a few days of good times!"
