My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

60 Chapter 60 Eavesdropping

When Mrs. Yao arrived at the outer courtyard, she saw Mrs. Sun enter Gu Chengxi’s room and quietly followed her.

Just as she walked to the window, she heard Mrs. Sun ask,” Son, do you know what kind of business your third brother has been doing recently?”

“Did my father ask you to come and ask?” Gu Chengxi raised his head and asked in surprise.

“It is me who wanted to ask. Most of them have their own income, and we are the only ones who can’t even earn a copper coin.

“I even have to depend on the madam’s mood to get money for some needles and threads. These days are getting hard on us.” Mrs. Sun sighed.

She knew this wasn’t a good move, but she had no other choice. In the past, she still had some monthly allowance for living.

But her monthly salary had stopped since they came back here, but she still had to buy the daily necessities. If she didn’t want to depend on Mrs. Yao’s charity, she had to think of a way herself.

Gu Chengxi did not immediately reply to her because he knew that Mrs. Sun was loyal to his father. If he told her now, his father would learn in two days.

Once his father found out, the entire Gu family would know about it too. He would be ungrateful and would be harming his third brother if he exposed their secrets.

On the other hand, Mrs. Yao could not hear the answer she wanted from Gu Chengxi and thought that he had deliberately lowered his voice. She immediately straightened her body and leaned toward the window.

She didn’t expect to meet a lizard, and it might have felt threatened as it immediately raised its head, ready to attack.

Mrs. Yao was so frightened that she screamed and took several steps back. Although she quickly covered her mouth, the mother and son in the room still heard her.

The mother and son looked at each other and rushed out, and they happened to see Mrs. Yao’s back as she ran away in a sorry state.

Mrs. Sun couldn’t help but clench her fists.” How despicable, actually eavesdropping on us.”

Gu Chengxi pulled her back into the house and said, “There really isn’t any secret to speak of when we live in the same courtyard.

“As for the money, if you don’t want to depend on Mrs. Yao’s mood, you can ask Father. You can ask her before father, too.

“If it really can’t be done, when I learned some tricks from Brother Tian. I can catch prey and exchange them for money, and I will give them to you.”

He didn’t say that he had recently learned to recognize some medicinal herbs from Chengrui and the others, but he didn’t want to tell her. It was also to leave a way out for them in case anything happened.

“You’re still young, so you’re not allowed to go up the mountain to hunt. As for money, your mother will think of a way, so you don’t need to worry.” Mrs. Sun’s nose couldn’t help but sting after hearing this as she turned around and left.

After she had walked far away, Gu Chengye, who lived next door, walked out. He looked at Gu Chengxi’s room thoughtfully before finally retreating into his room.

On the other hand, after Mrs. Yao returned to her room, Second uncle Gu was already snoring. She angrily pushed him before turning off the lights and lying down.

However, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She kept thinking of how Gu Chengrui and his wife were earning money, and her heart felt like it was on fire, burning her with anxiousness.

The point was that she’d had enough of living a frugal life. Even if she couldn’t go back to her previous life of luxury, at least she didn’t have to be so conservative about her meals.

However, when she thought of Gu Chengrui’s medical skills and her husband’s instructions, she knew she could not go against the couple. Otherwise, if they fell out, they would be the ones to suffer.

It seemed that she could only urge Mrs. Liu to do something. After all, Mrs. Liu’s situation was direr than hers.
