Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Could I leave my luggage at your place?"

"why?"

Shang Yanfang thought of this method because there were too many people and too much gossip at the educated youth settlement.

"Well, there are quite a few of us in the know, and I'm worried about carrying so much luggage over there."

Shang Yanfang explained her reasons.

"Okay," Gao Jianguo whispered in Shang Yanfang's ear.

His principles seemed to be constantly retreating in front of the young girl.

"Can we just go to my house? I can rub the medicated oil on while I'm there."

"Okay." Shang Yanfang thought for a moment and then agreed.

The two strolled leisurely into the village. "Hey, hey, we've gone the wrong way."

Seeing Gao Jianguo heading towards the fork in the road at the edge of the village, Shang Yanfang quickly reminded him.

"That's right, going this way will avoid running into the villagers and will take you directly to the back mountain."

"With so much stuff, the villagers will definitely gossip when they see it."

Hearing Gao Jianguo's explanation, Shang Yanfang also came to her senses. Indeed, with so many things on the car, she had only thought that the people at the educated youth settlement might have ill intentions.

But she forgot that not all the people in the village were good.

The two rode their bicycles directly to Old Zhang's house.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang are chess enthusiasts and have been neighbors for several years.

Gao Jianguo helped the little girl to Zhang Lao's house and found her a stool to sit down.

"Grandpa Zhang, I'm here! My ankle feels much better today," the little girl greeted Grandpa Zhang with a smile.

"Here you are. Jianguo will apply the medicine for you in a bit."

As he spoke, Old Zhang winked at his old friend: "Don't talk, we'll talk about it later."

A great curiosity popped into Old Chen's cloudy eyes.

The little girl was helped in by his grandson.

Is he going to have a granddaughter-in-law?

He lost all interest in playing chess and stared intently at Shang Yanfang.

Gao Jianguo took the two large suitcases back and came over by himself.

"Grandpa Zhang, do you need to have your feet checked?"

"No need, no need, you apply the medicine to the little girl."

Old Zhang stared at the chessboard and said irritably.

“Okay.” Gao Jianguo replied verbally, his hands moving without stopping. He squatted down and first took off the little girl’s shoes.

When the little girl saw the man's actions, she instinctively tried to pull her foot back.

"Don't move," the man said in a very low voice.

Although her tone was gentle, Shang Yanfang didn't dare to move an inch.

The man took off his little leather shoes and put them aside. He then placed the little girl's legs on his lap and carefully massaged her feet.

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, is this my grandson?"

Old Chen lowered his voice and said.

"No, you're mistaken, that's my grandson. Hey...hey...hey, it's your turn to get off."

Old Zhang said in an annoyed tone.

Old Chen made a move without even looking closely.

Seeing that the two young men had finished applying the medicine and were about to leave, Old Chen stopped them and said, "You little brats, why didn't you say hello to your grandpa when you saw him?"

Gao Jianguo wanted to see how long his grandfather could hold on, but he broke down in no time.

He helped the little girl to the two men and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa Zhang, this is Shang Yanfang, the educated youth Shang."

Upon hearing the introduction, Old Chen grabbed the young girl's hand, "Young comrade, my grandson has been capable since he was little. You'll be joining my family someday..."

Before Old Master Chen could finish speaking, Gao Jianguo interrupted, "Grandpa, Grandpa..."

"You little brat, what do you want?"

Seeing that her grandson had interrupted her conversation with her future granddaughter-in-law, she asked angrily.

"It looks like you're going to lose this game."

Gao Jianguo finished speaking before he could finish.

He then came to his senses and looked at the chessboard.

"General," Old Zhang echoed.

"What? How did I lose?"

Old Chen stared at the chessboard in disbelief.

"Come on, let's hurry and go see your package and letter." Gao Jianguo said, helping Shang Yanfang to take her away.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Chen, we're leaving now," Shang Yanfang said, waving goodbye.

Neither of the two old men paid any attention to her; they were still arguing.

"I didn't lose, I don't even remember playing chess."

“You have it, look how others apply medicine.”

"That doesn't count, it doesn't count."

"How can it not count? Wasn't it you who placed the order?"

Even after walking quite a distance, the two old men could still be heard arguing incessantly.

"Is Gao Jianguo alright? They seemed to be arguing quite fiercely."

Shang Yanfang asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. They argue like this all the time. They'll be fine in a bit."

Gao Jianguo comforted the little girl.

Just as Gao Jianguo had said, the two were arguing when someone said, "That little brat and that educated youth."

"What's wrong? Their relationship doesn't seem quite normal."

Upon hearing Old Zhang bring it up, Old Chen quickly asked.

"Those two came over last night," Old Zhang began, but Old Chen interrupted him.

"They both came last night. What were they doing here? When did they arrive?"

The series of questions showed that Mr. Chen was truly anxious.

"Don't worry, let me tell you. Last night, the little girl sprained her ankle, and Jianguo carried her over."

"What? You brought it over?" The voice was loud, showing that Old Chen was very surprised.

"Not only that, he even personally applied the medicine to the young girl. Didn't you just see that?"

Old Zhang continued.

Old Chen had no choice but to believe what Old Zhang said, after all, he had just witnessed how considerate his grandson was in taking care of the young girl.

Only then did he realize that his grandson had taken a cold shower that morning.

He murmured to himself, "No wonder, no wonder."

"What are you muttering to yourself?" Old Zhang asked, noticing his old friend muttering something quietly.

"This morning, Jian Guo took a cold shower very early. It seems his granddaughter-in-law is really not far away," Old Chen said in a low voice.

"Is it going to rain or not? If not, hurry back." Seeing Old Chen's smug expression, Old Zhang couldn't help but say.

"Next, I want to avenge the defeat you just suffered at my hands."

The two of them laughed again as they talked.

Next door, Shang Yanfang entered Gao Jian's house, sat in the main room, and looked around.

Aside from a few essential pieces of furniture, there wasn't much else to see.

The main room looked empty. But considering it was only for two people living in such a large room, it was quite normal for it to be empty.

She took out the two letters she had picked up that day from her handbag.

One letter was written by his older brother, and the other by his parents.

She first opened the letter her parents had written to her.

In the letter, her mother told her not to find a partner in the countryside, and also told her to eat and drink well, and to tell her if she needed money. She also wrote about what was in the package she was being sent.

After reading the letters from home, she went to read the letter from her elder brother, whom she had only heard of but never met.

The letter contained a central message: he was angry that she hadn't told him she was going to the countryside, but he was also worried about her. He told her that he would come to see her after this mission.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt extremely uneasy.

She was so nervous.
