The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1526: The Gaze Behind

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yiping had just said that not only was Gu Jingyuan here, but Gu Jingyuan’s wife was also here.

Could that woman be Shao Yin?

Gu Yundong actually felt that it was unlikely, but at this moment, she really could not wait to see Gu Jingyuan as soon as possible.

Shao Qingyuan couldn’t ask too much, or he would expose himself. After all, although Shi Lian was indeed a person and was indeed friends with Gu Jingyuan, when the Gu family was in trouble, he couldn’t even distance himself from them in time. How could he remember the Gu family in his heart for so many years?

He just wanted to find someone to make up the numbers and get some information from the Gu family.

He did not expect to give them such a surprise.

Shao Qingyuan quickly changed the topic. He took the cloth bag beside him and handed it to Gu Yiping.

"Take this. It’s all from the capital."

This time, Gu Yiping was no longer polite. To be honest, he was indeed thin and did not have a good life on Linxun Island.

He often missed his days in the capital. At that time, he was an official. Although he was not greedy, he was able to live a good life. His days were very carefree.

Unexpectedly, there was a price to pay for that enjoyment.

Now, he had used twenty years of exile to pay it back.

Gu Yiping felt that it was enough. Twenty years was enough. He wanted to go back.

He opened the cloth bag. It was indeed some local specialties in the capital. There was dried cured meat, crispy sugar, tiger bone wine, dried persimmons, dried fruits, and a box of tea leaves. Although they weren’t as good as the ones he used to use, they were still of good quality.

Gu Yiping couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He couldn’t take his eyes off the things inside.

After a while, he raised his head and smiled at the two of them. "Thank you for bringing us these specialties from thousands of miles away. It’s getting late. Why don’t you have lunch here? I’ll get my wife to cook and stir-fry this cured meat."

Gu Yundong smiled and said, "There’s no need. It was originally given to you by Master Shi. We’re just delivering it by the way. How can we stay and disturb you? We have to go back to the inn first. We’ll come again when Second Young Master Gu comes back tonight."

Actually, Gu Yiping didn’t really want them to stay. His family was very poor now and had limited food. How could he bear to take it out to entertain guests?

If he left them at home, his wife might cause trouble again.

Now that he heard Gu Yundong’s words, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer. Our Jingyuan will be back at about 7 pm. It’s just right for you to come at that time."

"Alright, then we’ll take our leave first."

Shao Qingyuan stood up, cupped his hands at Gu Yiping, and led Gu Yundong out of the central room.

Coincidentally, a woman walked over from the courtyard with a large basin of clothes in her hand. She looked like she was about to go out to wash them.

There was a scar on her face. It was fresh.

Gu Yundong suddenly remembered the commotion that she heard in the courtyard when she came previously. So, the person Mrs. Gu had beaten and scolded was this person in front of him?

When the woman saw them, she immediately lowered her head and walked faster.

Gu Yiping frowned and explained to Shao Qingyuan, "That’s my eldest daughter-in-law. She doesn’t know etiquette. Don’t take offense."

Shao Qingyuan shook his head and walked out of the Gu family with Gu Yundong.

It was not until the Gu family’s courtyard door closed that the two of them looked at each other.

"Let’s go."

However, after taking a few steps, the two of them acutely felt a gaze staring at them from behind.
