My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm Chapter 111 A Smell

111 Chapter 111 A Smell

Gu Chengrui helped him change the bedsheets and arranged for him to stay in the west room. He left him a chamber pot, water, and some charcoal before locking the door of the west room and going to the kitchen.

Everything was as usual, besides going over to ask him if he needed anything from time to time.

In the evening, when Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang returned, they had collected half a cart of soybeans. After Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui unloaded the cart, it weighed just a little under 300 pounds.

“Brother Qian, what’s the price of these soybeans? Are they easier to purchase?” asked Zhou Ying.

“Five coppers, the same as the grain store. Otherwise, no one would be willing to sell.

“However, there seems to be someone else there who is also buying soybeans, so I can’t guarantee how much we can buy a day.” Qian Zhuang replied.

Zhou Ying gave him five taels of silver and said, “Collect as much as you can as soon as possible since we won’t be able to go out once it snows.”

“Alright, I will spread out as far away as possible.” Qian Zhuang took the silver and said.

He turned and asked Gu Chengrui, “By the way, Doctor Gu, who has the Qiao family and the government been searching for these two days? They’re being quite thorough.

“The most important thing is that they keep a close eye on pharmacies. They banned the sale of medicine or antidotes, and someone who sells them will be executed on the spot. You must be careful.”

“I’ve heard about this too. They said they were looking for some water bandits.”

“What water bandits? The authorities in this area are so strict that there are no water bandits. They might be looking for someone else.”

“Is that so? Then you guys see if you can find out more and see what the Qiao family is up to.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on this.”

After sending off Qian Zhuang, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui had dinner.

After dinner, Gu Chengrui went to the west room to get the empty dishes. Young Master Zhou looked up and asked curiously, “Are you interested in the Qiao family’s affairs?”

“How do I put it? Because of some grudges between our ancestors, the Qiao family has been suppressing us. They even sank my father’s s.h.i.+p some time ago, causing my father and Second uncle to be bedridden.”

“Oh, so you’ve been keeping an eye on the Qiao family?” Young Master Zhou’s eyes flickered as he asked.

“I can’t say that I’m keeping an eye on them, but more like guarding against them. The main problem is that without the Gu family’s control, the Qiao family has been arrogant recently. ”

“Arrogant? How so?”

Gu Chengrui was overjoyed when he heard that. In a grumbling tone, he told Young Master Zhou about what the Qiao family had been doing recently and their behavior, including the incident of kidnapping them because of the braised intestine recipe.

“Braised intestine, is it delicious?” Young Master Zhou pursed his lips and asked.

Gu Chengrui was shocked to see him in such a daze. He then said, with a troubled expression, “Ying will braise it later, you can have a smell.”

“Smell? Couldn’t you let me have a taste?”

“There’s a pepper in it that can help with blood circulation, so you can only eat it when your injury is almost fully recovered. ”

Young Master Zhou’s face was full of pity after hearing this, and he didn’t have any good reasons to ask for more.

“Brother Zhou, you can get off the bed and take a few slow steps if you’re not tired.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he took the bowl and chopsticks and left.

Young Master Zhou looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.

He couldn’t tell if Gu Chengrui was really just complaining or if he knew something and was deliberately sending him a message.

However, saying he was delivering a message was not entirely correct. After all, other than getting kidnapped, the culprit regarding the s.h.i.+pwreck incident was only his guess. He couldn’t help Gu Chengrui even after telling him.

Or maybe Gu Chengrui wanted to borrow his power…

But how did Gu Chengrui know who he was, or maybe he really knew something?

It seemed that he had to observe Gu Chengrui carefully to see what kind of person he was and his purpose.

On the other hand, Gu Chengrui naturally knew that after saying so much, Young Master Zhou would definitely have some thoughts, so he didn’t care much after that.

In the evening, besides giving him two story books, helping him to the toilet twice, and asking about his condition, he didn’t say anything else.
