Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Where Did You Get Those Seeds?

Xu Shuhua looked at Gu Jianguo, not quite sure what to say.

So, he doesn’t even know where they’ll have lunch today!

And yet, he still dares to take his wife and child and leave the house with nothing.

Should she applaud his courage and determination, or should she just think he’s an idiot?

At this moment, Qin Yuelan stepped forward with a smile. “I still have a bit of money. We can buy some food later—it should be enough to get us by for a while.”

Xu Shuhua raised her eyebrows. Qin Yuelan has money?

It must be her dowry!

All these years, Wang Di has been tormenting Qin Yuelan day and night, just to get her hands on that dowry, hasn’t she?

Looks like Qin Yuelan isn’t that foolish after all. She didn’t hand over her dowry, and now she’s taking it out to use—it should last them for a while.

“Alright, since you’ve all made up your minds, then go ahead!”

Gu Jianguo slung two bundles over his shoulder and, together with Qin Yuelan and Gu Mo, went to find the village chief.

Xu Shuhua could have let Qin Yuelan and Gu Mo stay behind and wait, but she deliberately didn’t say anything.

Of course Gu Jianguo should take his wife and child with him—how else would the villagers know what’s really going on?

At a time like this, there’s no way she’s going to let that old woman Wang Di save face!

After Gu Jianguo’s family of three left, Yu Jiang and Yu Hai finished packing up and set off for the county town.

They didn’t bring anything with them today, and they weren’t going to earn money. Their only purpose was to ask about the county elementary school’s enrollment situation.

After seeing Yu Jiang and Yu Hai off, Xu Shuhua was just about to head back inside when she saw Chen Qiaoqin standing at the door, giving her a meaningful look.

Xu Shuhua frowned, but still walked over. “What is it?”

Chen Qiaoqin glanced around, then pulled Xu Shuhua inside.

Before Xu Shuhua could ask, Chen Qiaoqin hurried over to the cabinet, opened the door, and motioned for Xu Shuhua to look inside.

Xu Shuhua only needed one glance to understand why Chen Qiaoqin was acting like this.

“Hurry and close it! What’s going on here? Didn’t I tell you to put the seeds away?”

Chen Qiaoqin shut the cabinet, her face scrunched up in worry. “I did put them away! They were right here in the cabinet! I just checked—the paper wrapping the seeds is still intact, it hasn’t even been opened.”

Hearing this, Xu Shuhua was even more puzzled. “Then where did Nuanbao get those seeds?”

“I don’t know! I’m just as confused!”

Remembering what she saw that morning, Chen Qiaoqin still felt a lingering fear. “Thank goodness it was me who came in. If Yuelan had seen it…”

She trailed off, her face going pale.

Seeing Chen Qiaoqin like this, Yu Nuannuan felt a little guilty.

This morning, she’d been so focused on cheering up Gu Mo that she’d forgotten Qin Yuelan and Gu Jianguo were still in the house.

If Qin Yuelan really had seen it, who knows what would have happened.

Yu Nuannuan was still blaming herself when she saw Xu Shuhua come over and sit down across from her.

Xu Shuhua still wore her usual warm smile, her voice gentle as could be. “Nuanbao, where did you get those seeds?”

After she said it, Xu Shuhua realized Yu Nuannuan might not understand, so she changed her approach.

“Nuanbao, can you make another strawberry appear for Grandma?”

Yu Nuannuan stared at Xu Shuhua with her big, round eyes. After a moment, she turned over and crawled to the end of the bed, wiggling her little bottom as she went.

Seeing Yu Nuannuan’s movements, Chen Qiaoqin jumped in fright, worried the little girl might accidentally fall off the bed."
