Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

After taking the photos, Gao Jianguo took the little girl back to the courtyard.

"Aren't we going back?" Shang Yanfang looked at the man with a puzzled expression.

"I'll take some more candy back; there isn't enough in my bag." Gao Jianguo was visibly happy.

"Okay, take it. I'll wait for you outside." Shang Yanfang could tell from the man's retreating figure that he was indeed very happy.

"Let's go back, honey." Gao Jianguo grabbed two large bags of fruit candies and a pack of White Rabbit milk candies.

Under the big willow tree at the village entrance, Shangmu and a group of elderly women were chatting about gossip and trivial matters.

"Jianguo and Shang Yanfang, the educated youth, are back!" Aunt Guihua, who runs the village loudspeaker, was the first to spot Gao Jianguo and Shang Yanfang.

"Aunties, are you having fun here? Yanfang and I are getting married tomorrow, come and join us for the feast!" Gao Jianguo took a handful of candy from his bag and tossed it into the crowd.

While the older women were busy collecting candy, I rode away on my bicycle.

When Shang's mother saw that her daughter and son-in-law had returned, she also left the village entrance.

She was originally waiting for her daughter here.

"Mother, you're back?" When Shang's mother returned home, she saw that her daughter had already gone to cook.

"Hmm, you went with Jianguo and just got a small bonus?"

"No, we even took a few photos. When you leave, Mom, take a few back with you so Dad can see pictures of Jianguo," Shang Yanfang said casually.

"Alright, go and rest. I'll cook. Enjoy one more meal made by your mother." Madam Shang shooed her daughter out of the kitchen.

Shang Yanfang went back to her room to continue studying, feeling quite helpless.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock." The sound of knocking came from the door. Shang Yanfang came out of her reverie and opened the door.

"Lingling, come in and sit down." He Lingling led the other girls into Shang Yanfang's room.

"Yanfang, you're getting married, I'm so reluctant to let you go." He Lingling hugged Shang Yanfang tightly.

“I am married, but I’m still in the team, right? If you need anything, just come to me.” Shang Yanfang patted He Lingling’s back to comfort her, while gesturing for Li Zhaodi and Liu Yan to sit down.

"Yes, that's right. This is my wedding gift to you." He Lingling wasn't so reluctant to part with it after Shang Yanfang comforted her.

Shang Yanfang was pleasantly surprised to see the pair of pillowcases in He Lingling's hand. She hadn't expected that her friends would know she was getting married and prepare gifts for her.

"This is my gift." Li Zhaodi took out a large porcelain steel ball and handed it to Shang Yanfang.

“This belongs to my grandfather and me,” Liu Yan said, bringing in a red thermos from outside.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Shang Yanfang choked up with emotion.

The three of them were the first acts of kindness she received in this world, especially the handkerchief that He Lingling extended to her on the train.

It made her feel that she had not been abandoned.

"Don't cry. Didn't you say we live so close? If you miss us, just come and see us." Seeing Shang Yanfang crying, He Lingling wrote down the method she had just used to comfort herself and started to coax Shang Yanfang.

"No, I cried because I was so excited," Shang Yanfang said, looking at the concerned gazes around her.

"Darling, dinner's ready," Mrs. Shang said as she opened the door.

"Oh, all the girls are here. Auntie was just about to ask Yanfang to invite you all to dinner."

"Auntie, there's no need! You've already taken such good care of us these past few days." Li Zhaodi thought of how Shang's mother and the others would always serve them delicious food and wanted to refuse.

“I’ve already prepared everything. Besides, Yanfang is getting married tomorrow. It’s not too much to ask you to have a meal with her, is it?” Mrs. Shang’s words left no room for argument.

"Stay and eat with us. Let's celebrate in advance that I'm getting married," Shang Yanfang joked.

"Okay. Let's eat together then!" Liu Yan agreed, and the other two didn't refuse.

When Liu Yan left the room, her mother had already set out the bowls and chopsticks. Only after seeing that there were indeed five servings of food did she feel at ease and sit down.

"Eat, eat meat. Look how thin you girls are." Madam Shang put a piece of meat on each of the four girls' plates.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you, Mother." The group thanked the matriarch one after another.

"Auntie, isn't Guokang coming for dinner?" Li Zhaodi asked cautiously, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

"He's not hungry." Mrs. Shang is really annoyed with her youngest son.

She doesn't know what those two bitches are planning, and she can't keep her son away from them now.

"Eat, eat. He's a big guy, he won't starve." Shang Yanfang sensed that her mother's mood had changed.

Over the course of the meal, the girls dreamed about their futures, and then the meal gradually came to an end.

"Get some rest, Yanfang. You have to get up early tomorrow." The girls helped Shang's mother tidy up before reluctantly entering their own rooms.

"Well, you should have told me sooner. You must be quite tired tomorrow." Shang Yanfang had already arranged with several people to be her bridesmaids.

"Okay, let's go to bed early too." After the girls agreed, they went back inside.

Shang Yanfang and her mother also entered the room.

That night, Gao Jianguo fell asleep with a feeling of excitement.

After bringing the little girl back from the commune, he started arranging his room. Gouzi and Dali also stayed at Gao Jianguo's small house that night.

In order to have a wonderful wedding night tomorrow, Gao Jianguo asked his brothers to drink on his behalf.

However, he will have to pay a price for this; he needs to drink to his heart's content with Gouzi and the others today.

That night, Gao Jianguo drank a little alcohol and slept exceptionally well. He even had a dream about a chubby baby.

Shang Yanfang was so nervous that she didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m. At 5 a.m., her mother woke her up. How could her daughter be late on her wedding day?

"Mother, it's still early," Shang Yanfang said, glancing vaguely at her wristwatch.

"It's getting late, Jianguo will be here soon. Get up and wash up quickly, then we'll do your makeup." Shang's mother directly pulled back her daughter's blanket.

"Oh, okay, Mom." Shang Yanfang went to brush her teeth next to the steel mill, still half asleep.

After Shang's mother finished making her daughter's bed, she was surprised to find her daughter brushing her teeth and then falling asleep.

Shang's mother was truly at a loss for words, saying, "Yanfang, Jianguo has come to pick up the bride."

"Come on then!" Shang Yanfang replied groggily.
