When Gu Jingcheng arrived at the door of the dim sum shop, he saw such a lively scene.

Even though Su Xiaomu was standing at the door with his hands on his hips, breathing heavily, Gu Jingcheng still felt warm in his heart. The warm feeling spread from his chest to his limbs, making him feel relaxed, and his lips

The horns couldn't help but rise.

"Why are you back so early? Everything has been settled?"

Su Xiaomu caught a glimpse of Gu Jingcheng standing at the edge from the corner of his eye, and immediately his eyes lit up as if he saw a savior and he stepped forward to pull his sleeves.

"You came back just in time, the children just wanted to play games with you!"

Su Xiaomu took Gu Jingcheng's hand and gave it to Gu Ruochen, but this little kid was like a ghost. As soon as he saw someone he couldn't afford to mess with, he immediately stopped playing.

But that was fine, Su Xiaomu just took them for lunch and then went home with Gu Jingcheng.

Sure enough, this child... is really not something that ordinary people can afford!

The two of them went home together. As soon as Su Xiaomu had time to lie on the bed and rest, Gu Jingcheng handed her a stack of paper through a curtain.

The daylight was dim, and Su Xiaomu squinted his eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with his brain?

If she read it correctly, what Gu Jingcheng handed over was a banknote, right?

Is there a lot of money in such a thick pile?

"Where did you get so much money? Are you copying books for others again like before?"

Su Xiaomu jumped up from the bed. She took the banknotes in Gu Jingcheng's hand and counted them roughly: "That's not right... You don't have that much money even for copying books, right?"

Gu Jingcheng stayed with her when he was in Fucheng. Although he stayed in the study every day, he was definitely not copying books!

Su Xiaomu was responsible for purchasing pens, ink, paper and inkstones for him. No one knew how much Gu Jingcheng spent on studying than she did.

But if he wasn't copying books...could he be writing articles for others?

This idea suddenly popped into Su Xiaomu's head.

It's not impossible. With Gu Jingcheng's reputation outside, if he said he was willing to ghostwrite for others, there's no telling how many people would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy a piece of writing from him.

Su Xiaomu kept staring at Gu Jingcheng with suspicion, but she did not hide it. Gu Jingcheng coughed slightly in embarrassment.

"I helped Zhou Lin's father settle some accounts and help him solve some business problems. These are the rewards he gave me."

Gu Jingcheng raised his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me. My money comes cleanly and there is absolutely no problem at all."

"When did it happen?" Su Xiaomu was surprised, "You never said you helped him before."

Something is wrong. Gu Jingcheng usually goes out to study and rarely sees him exchanging letters with others. It is impossible...

"It was before I left home. Since I haven't been here, I had time to give me the money this time. Please help me keep it."

Gu Jingcheng stuffed the banknotes into Su Xiaomu's hands. This behavior really made Su Xiaomu feel more and more strange.

"You want me to keep it for you? Don't you have a box for money yourself?"

Su Xiaomu was confused: "I opened your cabinet and put a lot of money in it."

"My mother knows how much money I have, and she will definitely be suspicious if I have all this money for nothing. I don't want her to think that I spend my time on things other than studying."

As soon as Gu Jingcheng clicked, Su Xiaomu immediately understood what he meant.

This actually makes sense. Mrs. Li has always regarded Gu Jingcheng's study as the biggest priority in the family, so how can she tolerate him not doing his job properly?

Especially since Gu Jingcheng's legs and feet are not good now, Li's eyes would show a little complicated look every time he looked at Gu Jingcheng.

Maybe it's because their mother-son relationship can't withstand other shocks?

Su Xiaomu thought about it while collecting the money, and then put all the money in his box, then patted his chest very loyally.

"Leave your money with me, and I will definitely keep it safe for you. I will give it to you after we return to Fucheng."

"Thank you very much."

Gu Jingcheng thanked Su Xiaomu.

After all, it was a tiring day in the city today, so Su Xiaomu went back to his room to sleep after eating.

Now she doesn't have to do anything at home and enjoys happiness almost every day.

Ms. Yin and Ms. Chen would not let her get involved in any housework.

Although Su Xiaomu had already prepared to go home and work as a coolie, now that she could enjoy the blessings, she couldn't refuse.

When I woke up the next day, I didn't wake up naturally like before.

But when she heard something moving outside, she rubbed her eyes sleepily, looked at Gu Jingcheng who was dressing through a curtain and asked curiously: "What kind of guests are coming outside? It's so lively."

They slept in the innermost room, but Su Xiaomu could still hear people talking outside.

From time to time, there is also laughter mixed with human voices, which is quite interesting.

"It's Naluo Xiucai who brought his family to our house to pay New Year's greetings. Now he's talking to his parents outside."

Gu Jingcheng got dressed, and through a layer of curtain, he could only see Su Xiaomu's shadowy figure.

Gu Jingcheng didn't dare to look any further and looked away at this moment.

However, Su Xiaomu didn't think much about his strangeness.

Instead, he got up and dressed very neatly, washed up, and then went outside to watch the "fun".

Sure enough, he brought a large family to pay New Year greetings. Su Xiaomu saw Luo Shi standing in the crowd at a glance.

I don't know what she was thinking. The makeup on her face today was thicker than yesterday. The two lumps of blush hanging on her face were more dazzling than the sun in the sky, making it impossible for people to look away.

Su Xiaomu looked uncomfortable. From the corner of her eye, she saw the corners of Chen's Napo's mouth twitching, probably thinking that she should be holding back laughter in her heart like herself.

So I found a corner where they couldn't notice and listened to them carefully.

"My child is a little older than your girl, but he has a lot of potential! He passed the examination as a scholar at a young age. If he hadn't been in poor health and caught the cold during this examination, he might have been able to pass the examination.

The people are coming back!"

Standing next to Luo Shi was a woman about the same age as Li Shi, who must be their mother.

As for the young man standing on the far side, he didn't say a word during the whole process. He stood quietly beside his mother and sister. It could be said that he was extremely quiet, and his presence was not strong at all.

However, Su Xiaomu had to first ignore the arrogant expression on his face and the profound look in his eyes when he glanced at Gu Ruotong.

Luo Shi and his mother boasted that Luo Xiucai was as good as anyone in the world, but Su Xiaomu didn't believe at all that there really was such a good person in this world.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and cow dung may not disdain sheep dung.
