IHOEAYSTTTIW Chapter 23

Chapter 23: The Weather is Excellent, Money is Almost Gone

Lin Yan quickly drafted the document, and he went to Cheng Que excitedly to have him sign it, only to see Cheng Que still struggling with something.

“Master Gu…” Madam Gu tapped Cheng Que on the head, and Cheng Que obediently changed his address, “Uncle Gu, Aunt, please sign it quickly. I don’t want to take your things for nothing. Besides, I’m willing to let you take over my mother’s shop.”

Madam Gu pushed the document away, exaggeratedly clutching her chest, and winked at Master Gu: “Husband, there are too many people here, I can’t breathe.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go home and rest.” Master Gu understood, picked up Madam Gu in a bridal carry, and only remembered that he had a son after taking two steps. He turned his head and coldly instructed, “Gu Zhan, get this done for me.”

“Father, Mother, take care.” Gu Zhan gave a perfunctory salute, glanced at the document casually, and stuffed it back into Cheng Que’s hands, “Take it away quickly, all these words make my head hurt.”

Cheng Que smoothed out the document, dipped the brush generously in ink, and handed it to Gu Zhan, “Brother Gu can sign here.”

“Don’t want to sign.” Gu Zhan scribbled a line on the document and threw the brush back into the tray. The ink on the brush splashed up, and two drops landed on Cheng Que’s face.

“But…”

Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows at Cheng Que and saw the ink on Cheng Que’s face. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he began to rummage through his clothes. After a long search, he found the fine silk handkerchief Madam Gu had given him. He somewhat roughly pulled Cheng Que closer, but his hand wiping the ink spots was exceptionally gentle.

Cheng Que’s heart was touched for a moment, but then it was suppressed by Gu Zhan’s lewd words: “That money was left by my mother for me to buy a husband. Why don’t you sell yourself to me?”

…

Cheng Que nodded with difficulty, the light in his eyes dimmed a lot.

He was unwilling to casually hand over the shop to someone else. The things his mother left behind were things he would rather sell himself into servitude to keep, but Master Gu and his aunt were different.

After his father left, he originally wanted to pay off his father’s debts first, and then… then he didn’t know what to do. He was just a Ge’er, a Ge’er who should get married and raise children when he reached a certain age.

Now that his father’s debts were paid off, the person he grew up with, the one he always called “Brother Gu,” was taking advantage of his misfortune and wanted to buy him back.

It doesn’t matter.

Cheng Que looked at the old signboard and tried very hard to cheer himself up.

His mother’s shop was still there, and the Gu family were all easy to get along with. As long as he made money, he would definitely redeem himself.

The weather was excellent, but the money was almost gone.

Lin Yan didn’t panic at all.

He had long since taken a fancy to this shop, but he wanted to give up because Yun Qi’s identity was sensitive. Now… he had 50% of the shares in this shop, which, rounded up, was his new home. Moving was naturally a natural thing.

Two ox carts stopped in front of the shop, and Gu Zhan helped Lin Yan move things out.

Lin Yan transformed into an octopus, throwing things down quickly but haphazardly, “Put these in the Wood Shed, these in the Back Yard, these in the bedroom, these…”

Gu Zhan and Yun Qi carried things back and forth, their legs almost creating afterimages.

Two full carts of things were unloaded before dark. Master Lin, who had been busy all afternoon, was sore and achy, limping, but still “inspecting” his newly acquired shop with high spirits.

Lin Yan was attracted by the vegetable garden in the Back Yard, holding the crooked vegetables, sighing with pity, “Poor little veggies are all withered.”

Yun Qi had already moved all the vegetables he brought to the Back Yard. He wiped his sweat and smiled, “Brother, where should I put them? I’ll tidy them up.”

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it. You put the River Sister you brought over…”

“What a fat cat, let’s add a meal for Ah Que tonight.” A rough voice came from outside the courtyard gate. The two looked over and saw Gu Zhan pinching White’s neck, shaking him from side to side.

Lin Yan put down the vegetables in his hand, his voice cold, “Put White down.”

“White? What a strange name.” Gu Zhan savored the awkward name. The always listless White did a somersault and bit his hand.

“Ouch, he not only bites vegetable leaves but also bites people.” Gu Zhan cried out in pain and threw White out reflexively.

White did a beautiful Thomas full circle and landed perfectly.

“It’s good as long as you’re okay.” Gu Zhan was being a jerk to his own cat, Lin Yan casually asked if he was okay and went to check the vegetables in the field. He narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the vegetables one by one, and quickly locked onto the victim, no, the victimized vegetable.

The evidence was all there, it was time to stew the cat.

Lin Yan issued an order, “White bit the River Sister, kick him out.”

Gu Zhan thought Lin Yan was standing up for him. He looked at the two white pits bitten out by White on his hand and shrugged generously, “I’m okay, and my name isn’t River Sister…”

“Come on, you bad cat.” Yun Qi quickly caught White, who was preparing to escape, and dragged him to the door, “You’ve been banished from the Back Yard, go to the front and be a lucky cat.”

After dealing with the light bulb cat, Yun Qi was in a good mood and leaped towards Lin Yan cheerfully, “Brother, let me help you…”

Lin Yan was fiddling with the tree he had dug up from the Back Mountain before. This tree was half-dead when it was transplanted back. Yun Qi was even preparing to chop it up for firewood, but Lin Yan magically brought it back to life. In less than three months, the firewood was already lush and green, blooming with small flowers, and even bearing fruit a few days ago.

This was also one of Lin Yan’s treasures, but now these small fruits were being stuffed into his hands.

Yun Qi carefully held the fruit, at a loss.

Lin Yan picked up one and peeled off the green skin with some effort, “Isn’t this fruit pretty?”

The scent of citrus spread out, and Yun Qi looked at the orange-yellow flesh, swallowing his saliva, “It’s pretty, are you saving it for me, brother?”

Lin Yan dipped a little juice with his finger, licked it lightly, and immediately grimaced from the sourness.

Yun Qi Panic。
