Chapter 104. A Good Person
She couldn't easily refuse the aunt's kindness, so she took out a coin and handed it to the aunt.
"Please take it. This big cabbage is nurtured by your sweat and toil, I can't accept it for free."
The aunt repeatedly waved her hands. "Our Li Zhu receives a lot of care from Boss Su. He works part-time at the pig farm because of Boss Su's help."
Hearing this, Gu Zi realized that this was Li Zhu's mother.
No wonder Li Zhu was always helping Su Shen; he was Su Shen's little helper!
In truth, she also liked Li Zhu, a diligent and capable kid.
But Gu Zi liked to stick to her principles, so she insisted on paying.
"Li Zhu's mom, please take it. When you come to the market to sell your produce, it's to exchange for money. You can't make a trip for nothing. We need to support the street vendor economy." Originally, Li Zhu's mom didn't want to accept the money.
Because Boss Su had helped their family a lot, she remembered every little bit.
But seeing that Gu Zi wasn't someone who took advantage, and genuinely wanted to pay for her vegetables, she accepted the money.
"As expected of an educated person, I can't argue with you. But if you ever want these big cabbages again, just let Li Zhu know, and he'll bring them to you."
When she usually came to the market, if she hadn't sold out her vegetables and met an acquaintance, she'd give some away.
Now that the Su family wanted to eat these vegetables, giving them to the Su family was better than giving them away elsewhere.
Plus, it spared this fair-skinned young girl from pushing the child here and running a trip for nothing.
Gu Zi revealed her bright white teeth. "Sure, I was already pleasantly surprised to find this kind of cabbage here! I'll definitely come to you for purchases in the future. "
Saying goodbye to Li Zhu's mom, Gu Zi continued to browse the market.
Li Zhu's mom looked at the beautiful figure and smiled, shaking her head. She exclaimed, "Boss Su has finally met a good person!"
She had a feeling that this city girl was definitely different from those vulgar women.
"Raisins for sale! Turpan local raisins, not sweet, free of charge! Not sweet, free of charge!"
Gu Zi was drawn to the familiar and energetic shouting. She saw a slightly old but clean tricycle.
The back of the vehicle was filled with emerald green raisins, large and plump, looking very tempting.
She noticed the seller sitting on the cart and asked, "Big brother, are these really Turpan raisins?"
Gu Zi couldn't believe that Turpan raisins had become famous so early.
The big brother looked up, feeling delighted by the appearance of this beautiful girl. His trip here was worth it.
The big brother cheerfully replied, "I have a grocery store in the city, and our goods are all sourced from the local Turpan trading market. We guarantee the authentic taste. Today, since I had free time, I came out to set up a stall!"
Gu Zi tasted one and a pure rose fragrance spread in her mouth.
Thick and soft, yet with a good chew, it was indeed high quality!
He could buy some snacks and make dessert ingredients. Anyway, they had many uses.
The price seemed reasonable to her, so she bought five kilograms in one go.
The big brother's face was beaming; even in the city, few people would spend so generously!
He enthusiastically praised, "Young Lady, you sure know your stuff! Our Turpan raisins were offered as tribute to the royal court back in the Southern Liang Dynasty..."
Gu Zi really wanted to give the big brother a thumbs up; his knowledge base was quite rich!
Pushing her cart forward, Gu Zi bought two large watermelons and turned back home.
On the way back, Gu Zi thought that after she turned the cool bean jelly grass into sweetened grass jelly, she would try setting up a stall at the market.
When they arrived home, it was exactly eleven o'clock. Gu Zi placed Lele on the sofa and gave her a biscuit to eat.
Then she got to work; she was going to start preparing lunch now and planned to pickle the vegetables in the afternoon.
In the city, at Su Jing's house.
When Tian Hai returned home, he saw a basket of apples and a packet of biscuits on the long and narrow table. He reached out to take an apple.
Su Jing ran out of the house and snatched the apple back. She also tidied up her meticulously styled hair. "Brother Hai, I bought these five apples on sale. If you eat one, how will we take them to the Su family? Give it back!"
As soon as Tian Hai heard "to the Su family," his mind was filled with visions of Gu Zi's beautiful face and her curves.
...
Chapter 105 An Opportunity
Su Jing saw him staring blankly at the apple and smiled shyly, revealing her big front teeth.
She thought her hairstyle today was stunning and confidently twirled in front of him. "Brother Hai, don't look at me like that, it's making me shy!"
Tian Hai found this woman brainless and uninteresting. He had lost interest in her long ago.
He rolled his eyes in his mind, but considering the wealth of the Su family, he tried to hide his contempt.
He reluctantly put on an admiring expression. His acting was obviously poor, but it perfectly fooled Su Jing.
"Darling, you are the most beautiful woman in my eyes!" Tian Hai was of average height, and his features were decent.
With his flashy dressing, he attracted many glances whenever he stepped out.
But his gaze was off, and the heavy eye bags made him look dull and unimpressive.
Any woman with a bit of insight wouldn't be interested in such a man.
But those willing to listen to his sweet words considered him a treasure, like Su Jing.
They say one should be positive in life; it's all about spreading positive vibes.
People like Tian Hai were telling you: even if you were a piece of crap, there would be someone willing to become a dog just to eat your crap and fight for you.
Su Jing felt as if she had eaten honey when she was praised by him.
In her eyes, Tian Hai was not just no crap; he was her ideal prince charming. So even if those familiar with Su Jing noticed something wrong with Tian Hai, they wouldn't advise her to leave.
After all, if you tried to advise a dog not to eat crap, the dog would think you were trying to steal its food. Tian Hai had other plans in his heart. He did not want to touch this useless woman anymore. He would find another woman outside who would make him happier than dealing with her!
"Darling, aren't you going to play cards today? I see you're looking rosy today; you're sure to win money!"
Su Jing believed him very much and sat up at once, "Really?"
Tian Hai nodded, "Absolutely! When have I ever lied to you!"
Su Jing's eyebrows were about to fly away with happiness, but the next second they drooped, "But I was planning to go back to the Su family this afternoon."
She couldn't let Gu Zi show off alone; she also wanted to display her care for her nephews.
However, hearing Tian Hai's words, she felt like going to play cards again, so she was a bit conflicted.
Tian Hai, upon hearing this, thought this was an opportunity for him to get closer to Gu Zi.
He cupped her lips and kissed them. "My heart aches for my baby. I really want to run errands for my baby, but I don't want to leave you."
When Su Jing heard Tian Hai say this, her body started to itch. She just wanted Tian Hai to kiss and touch her.
"Brother Hai, what if we don't go anywvhere today?"
Tian Hai couldn't have that, so he quickly changed his words, "I mean, let me run errands for my darling? You go play cards? I'll go to your brother's place!"
Su Jing found it quite dull, but when she thought about winning money from playing cards, she agreed.
Originally, she didn't want to go back to the village. If it weren't for her brother being upset last time after being tricked by Chu Xi's family, she wouldn't have hesitated to spend the money on the apples and biscuits.
Just as Su Jing was about to step out, Tian Hai went into the room.
He changed into what he thought was the most handsome outfit and even put on his sunglasses.
When Tian Hai picked up the fruits and biscuits, he thought that since the Su family was so wealthy it would be fine if he just gave them a little gesture.
Therefore, he only took the fruit and went to the bus station. On his way to Daqing Village, he encountered people from the pig farm again.
When Tian Hai found out that Su Shen had gone on a business trip, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed like luck was on his side!
Meanwhile, at the Su family residence, Gu Zi had just woken up from her afternoon nap and carried Lele downstairs.
At this moment, Big Yellow shouted in the courtyard. Then, there were chaotic knocks on the door.
Gu Zi, feeling lazy and not wanting to move, plus not hearing anyone call out, decided to play dead for a while.
But soon, a greasy male voice sounded, "Zizi, it's me, I've brought fruits for you!"
Gu Zi carried Su Le and walked out. When she saw the person at the door, she looked disgusted. Wasn't this that disgusting man at the ice rink?
Why was he bringing some rotten apples? Did he want to harm her? The last thing this village lacked was gossip.
Since Su Shen wasn't home and he came to deliver fruits, it would inevitably lead to gossip. She couldn't let him in. Gu Zi had a plan and didn't move forward. Instead, she stood at the door, wearing a frown, and said, "We're not close; why are you bringing fruits? Please Go."
