Chapter 118: Where did the car come from?

After buying the groceries, Gu Chen drove the car back to Lao Hu's shop.

He wanted to say hello, but seeing Lao Hu working on the car, he didn't want to disturb him.

He turned off the engine and got out of the car.

He silently slipped a hundred yuan under the windshield wiper, just like he would for a parking ticket.

The reason he did this was because he knew that if he just gave it to him directly, Lao Hu would definitely not take it.

After all, he even wanted a share of the cigarettes.

But without Lao Hu, he would not have met Lao Zhao.

And he would not have received this 20% share for free.

The world is round. In fact, when you help someone, you may very well be helping yourself.

This is probably what is meant by, 'Do good to others and good will come to you.'

...

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already past one o'clock.

I guess Ji Pianran and Tang Tang had already eaten dinner, so Gu Chen wasn't in a hurry to go home and cook.

With the money she had earned today in her arms, she walked slowly towards the bus stop back home.

If you're lucky, it's really green all the way.

As soon as she arrived at the bus stop, a bus heading back to the village arrived.

Gu Chen got on the bus and found a seat by the window.

The sunlight outside the window shone warmly on his body. As he watched the speeding reflections outside, Gu Chen couldn't help feeling drowsy.

So he simply closed his eyes and rested for a while.

He slowly opened his eyes when the conductor announced that the next stop was the coal washing plant.

When he arrived home, Gu Chen had not yet had time to push the door open.

He heard Li Youmo's voice coming from the courtyard.

'Jian, your skills are just too good! Look, this phoenix looks like it's about to fly!'

She had come to return the money and also to teach Jian a lesson.

But the second Jian took out her embroidery, she was completely stunned.

The phoenix was embroidered with golden thread, and the feathers were multicoloured, each one embroidered vividly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are lifelike.

Right now, only the last few feathers remain to be embroidered.

If this is finished, it will be perfect!

It is really beautiful!

Li You'e never imagined that Ji Pianran's embroidery was so good.

She is smacking her lips and exclaiming in admiration, truly there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.

Ji Pianran's embroidery is really amazing, and she's so good that there's nothing for her to learn from you.

If I weren't so old, I'd want to learn from her too!

Gu Chen opened the door, carrying two large roosters she had just bought at the market.

She smiled at Li You'e and Ji Pianran, who were sitting in the courtyard.

'Oh, what a coincidence, Aunt Li is here too.'

Li You'e hurriedly stood up from the stool when she saw Gu Chen return.

She smiled at Gu Chen, 'Isn't that right? Thanks to your 100 yuan, I'm here today to pay you back.'

Hearing that she was here to pay back the money, Gu Chen hurriedly waved his hand.

Showing off, 'Auntie, it's not necessary. That thief was caught by our Piran the other day!'

Upon hearing this, Ji Piran glared at Gu Chen.

This person!

It's started again, why does she tell everyone that she caught the thief?

Gu Chen was not angry, but instead laughed even more happily.

Of course she didn't know how moving her fearless appearance was, and that scene, Gu Chen could remember for the rest of her life!

He just had to praise her.

His wife, just amazing!

Upon hearing this, Li You'e was both surprised and happy, and she simply couldn't believe it.

She slapped her thigh, so excited that her voice involuntarily rose a few degrees.

'Really? That's great! I didn't realise, Piran, that you were so good at embroidery and catching thieves. I'll go to the village neighbourhood committee tomorrow and get you a certificate!'

'I need to think of a name. Do you think I should call it 'Women are as good as men' or 'Women hold up half the sky'?'

Ji Piran laughed with pursed lips at Li You'e's words.

'Auntie Li, this man doesn't do embroidery, does he?' She laughed again, "Besides, I didn't catch the thief, it was Chen who caught him. He just likes to joke around.'

Li You'e didn't care who caught the thief.

A black cat or a white cat, whoever catches the mouse is a good cat.

She beamed, "I could tell from the day Chen caught Lei Bo that she was really good at martial arts! Auntie is really grateful to you!'

If it weren't for Gu Chen, she would have lost a hundred yuan for nothing!

That could have lasted for half a month!

'Tomorrow, come to Auntie's house for dinner! I'll make you two a goose stew to thank you!'

Li You'e's ancestral home was in the northeast, and she fled there during the war.

She was just a little girl at the time, and although she left her hometown at a young age, she learned authentic northeastern cooking from her mother!

She was very confident in her iron pot stewed goose.

Several times, the brat Leibo smelled the smell of her stewed goose through the wall and wanted to come to her house for a bowl.

Tomorrow, she must stew the biggest goose in the house for the Gu family to eat!

Gu Chen smiled, 'We're from the same village. What's there to thank? Besides, that brat later stole from me too, and I wanted to let him off the hook, but I couldn't.'

Afterwards, he waved the two chickens in his hands.

'Auntie, you and Pianran sit here for a while, don't go back in the afternoon, stay and eat the chicken! I'll go and see my fourth brother, I've been working all morning, I don't know if I'm tired or not?'

Gu Chen not only helped himself recover 100 yuan, but also invited himself to stay for dinner.

Li You'e couldn't help thinking that Gu Chen was a rare good person.

In the past, she was simply blind!

I actually compared Gu Chen to Lei Bo.

Lei Bo was a real scoundrel, but Gu Chen is a real gentleman!

These two people are simply not comparable, one is in heaven, the other on earth!

By the morning, Tian Laosi had broken up the entire concrete floor, and was now bending over and hoeing the ground with all his might.

He said he was hoeing the ground, but he was actually pounding the soil with all his strength!

He was breaking up the hard soil until it was soft.

After all, there was a house on top of it, and the soil covering the house was naturally harder than normal soil.

Tian Laosi was sweating profusely.

Even the veins on his arms were bulging.

Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed when she saw Tian Laosi working so hard.

She hurriedly walked up to him and said, 'Laosi, take a break, there's no rush.'

Tian Laosi turned his face when he heard Gu Chen come back.

He wiped the sweat off his face with his hand before grinning.

His voice was honest, 'I'm in no hurry, I'm just afraid of holding you up.'

Gu Chen had been saying before that the land was to be used to grow Cordyceps sinensis.

Of course he had to be careful.

Besides, he had received so many favours from Gu Chen, if he didn't work hard for him,

Who would Tian Laosi become?

Gu Chen looked at his sincere expression and patted him on the arm.

'Fourth Brother, tonight we'll have spicy stir-fried chicken. Invite your wife and Yan Yan over, and we'll all eat together.'

Hearing Gu Chen invite him to dinner again, Tian Laosi felt a hundred apologies well up in his heart.

He was about to refuse when

Then he heard the sound of a car rolling over gravel outside the door.

In the silence of the countryside, any noise, no matter how small, could be heard clearly inside the house.

Then came the panicked voice of Auntie Zhang from next door.

'Hey, what's going on in our village? Even the car for the toast-to-the-driver is here!'
