Chapter 128 - 128: Deeper Understanding



“I can’t control other people from gossiping. I’ll just focus on myself and take good care of Lele,” Gu Zi said, while packing up her stall, smiling.

Li Zhu’s mother had finished eating the herbal jelly and praised, “You’re skilled. Eating this makes me feel so comfortable, neither troubled nor overheated. I feel refreshed!”

Gu Zi replied, “If I have time, I’ll set up the stall again. Whenever you’re free, come over for a taste.”

“Definitely. Your mindset wins over most people. Let me tell you, that Aunt Fang was nearly beaten to death by her husband. Early this morning, he took her to the bus station, saying from now on, they would go out to work together.”

Recalling her encounter with Aunt Fang earlier, Li Zhu’s mother felt pity. Her face was all bruised.

Initially, her husband had been good to her. After marrying her, he did everything she asked without hesitation.

However, she didn’t act properly. She often stirred up trouble and even brought wild men home to sleep with.

Any man would find this intolerable, especially given how much her husband had done for her.

“Didn’t you say that her husband is always out of town?” Gu Zi was a little puzzled.

This matter had only spread yesterday. How could it have reached Aunt Fang’s husband’s ears so quickly?

In that case, it could only be that someone had informed him in advance. That’s why he had rushed back from overseas.

The only person who knew about it initially was Aunt Zhang, but she couldn’t have done it. It would take too much effort.

Su Jing found out yesterday, but it wasn’t possible either. Besides, Su Jing didn’t have that capability.

That left only her and Su Shen. Was it Su Shen who informed Aunt Fang’s husband?

Li Zhu’s mother was also perplexed. “Maybe it’s a heaven-sent intervention. Anyway, her husband suddenly returned, and I think it’s good they’re leaving together. It will reduce a lot of troubles in the village. I’ll head back to my stall now. ”

“Sure.” As Li Zhu’s mother turned away, the faint smile on Gu Zi’s face vanished.

Perhaps she had gained a deeper understanding of Su Shen. She saw the real, cruel and indifferent side behind the man’s elegance.

Su Shen had dealt quite ruthlessly with Aunt Fang’s situation, a deadly blow, completely eradicating the potential threat she posed.

Even the previous incident with Chu Xi, he had resolved it in the most efficient manner.

To put it bluntly, when he decided to act, his methods were quite ruthless.

Thinking so, Gu Zi left the market, pushing Lele along.

The flowers and grass along the way were full of life.

On the way home, she met a fisherman who was fishing. She took a look at the fish he caught and found that it was her favorite kind of mandarin fish.

This kind of fish was called mandarin fish in Gu Zi’s original hometown.

Among freshwater fish, the mandarin fish had relatively fewer bones, and its meat was more tender. Its nutritional value was higher than that of animal meat such as pork, chicken, and duck. It was easily digested and absorbed by the human body.

She bought two fish in one go and planned to make one for Su Shen for lunch. She would make steamed mandarin fish.

She planned to cook the other one for the two boys.

After buying the fish, she and Lele walked back slowly. Occasionally, she taught Lele to say a few words, and then hummed a little song along the way. Lele also learned to sing from her.

She enjoyed such a slow pace of life. Such a life was a luxury in the 21st century, but it was easily achievable in this era.

Upon returning home, Gu Zi continued drying the freshly picked bean jelly grass in the courtyard.

She and Le Le had a small bowl of herbal jelly each before she started preparing lunch.

The main dish for lunch today was steamed mandarin fish, plus a fried egg with chives and green peppers.

She tied her apron neatly, boiled water, and then washed the vegetables and ingredients needed for lunch, soaking the green onions and chili strips in clean water.

Then, she prepared the mandarin fish. She cleaned out the innards, made an incision on the back, rubbed the fish with cooking wine and salt evenly.

She stuffed ginger slices into the belly and sprinkled some ginger shreds on top.

The water in the pot was boiling by then, so Gu Zi placed the prepared Gui fish in to steam on high heat.

There was a ten-minute gap during steaming, enough time for her to finish the garlic chives with eggs and the stir-fried vegetables with green peppers. As she was preparing to serve the two dishes, Gu Zi heard Lele calling for ‘Dad.’

Knowing it was Su Shen who had returned, she walked to the door gently and asked, “Mr.. Su, could you help me bring these two dishes to the table?”
