Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Gu Jiandong Is Looking for a Wife
Reborn in the 1980s Becoming the Group's Darling Little Lucky Treasure
Xu Shuhua shot Yu Hai an annoyed look, about to scold him, when a crowd of passersby gathered around.
“What are they selling here?”
“Weren’t they selling strawberries before? Is it still strawberries?”
“It’s ground cherries! I’ve eaten these back in the countryside. They’re selling these now?”
“People these days will sell anything to make money!”
With more people, there were more opinions.
But there were also some who recognized Xu Shuhua and knew her strawberries were delicious. Seeing that these ground cherries looked unusual, and that some people had already bought them, they started asking about the price too.
When they heard it wasn’t expensive, people started buying a pound or two at a time.
In just one afternoon, all several dozen pounds of ground cherries were sold out.
Yu Hai handled the weighing, Xu Shuhua took the money and greeted customers. Even though it was their first time working together, they cooperated seamlessly.
Yu Hai didn’t handle the money, but he still kept track of how much they made.
They earned over twenty yuan in just one afternoon—it felt like a dream!
He’d seen Xu Shuhua bring home this much money before, but earning it himself was a completely different feeling!
Yu Hai was so excited he kept rubbing his hands together. “Mom, we made so much money today. Shouldn’t we buy something tasty to celebrate?”
Xu Shuhua knew her own son well.
“Go on, what do you want to buy?”
Yu Hai was stunned. “Mom, how come you agreed so quickly?”
Thinking back, whenever he or his brothers asked for something, even if Xu Shuhua didn’t scold them outright, she’d never agree to buy it.
Now she was so easygoing, Yu Hai actually felt a bit unaccustomed to it.
“Back then, it was because we didn’t have money. You really think your mom is stingy? If I had money, I’d want you all to eat meat every day!”
Hearing this, Yu Hai grinned foolishly. “That’s great! Mom, let’s buy some meat!”
They barely ate meat a few times a year, and what they lacked most was something rich and filling. Nothing beat buying meat.
Clearly, Xu Shuhua thought it was a good idea too, and agreed right away.
With the sun setting, Xu Shuhua and Yu Hai didn’t waste any time. They hurried off to buy things and rushed home.
Before they even reached their door, they ran into Gu Jiandong.
Gu Jiandong swaggered as he walked, barely sparing Xu Shuhua and Yu Hai a glance, humming a tune as he strolled away.
Yu Hai stared after him for a while before turning to Xu Shuhua and saying, “Mom, I heard Gu Jiandong is looking for a wife.”
“So let him look!”
“Guess who he’s after, Mom.”
“Who?”
“Li Chunxiang!”
“Who?”
“Li Chunxiang!”
By now, they’d reached the Yu family’s gate, but Xu Shuhua stopped in her tracks, turning to Yu Hai in disbelief. “Is it really Li Chunxiang?”
“Of course it is! People have seen Gu Jiandong going to the Li house every day, practically wanting to move in as a live-in son-in-law. He’s probably heading there now, carrying stuff in his hands—looks like he’s even staying for dinner!”
Xu Shuhua snorted. “If he really marries Li Chunxiang, wouldn’t that make him a live-in son-in-law?”
In the countryside, as long as a family was doing okay, they’d never let their son marry into someone else’s family as a live-in son-in-law.
Besides, the Gu elders doted on Gu Jiandong so much—would they really let him marry in as a live-in son-in-law?
Looks like there’s going to be some drama to watch!
Chen Qiaoqin was playing in the yard with Yu Nuannuan. Seeing Xu Shuhua and Yu Hai stop at the gate, she picked up Yu Nuannuan and came over to greet them."
