Chapter 319 All Have Secrets
One person can manage, two people are a bit crowded, and three people are even more unsuitable!
So Gu Jiao'er ended up having to work as a fire starter.
When Aunt Ge arrived, they had already finished making all the pancakes. They could call the three brothers back and then they could start eating.
When Huani went out to call for someone, she happened to run into Aunt Ge. She didn't know what Aunt Ge was there for, and before she could ask, she heard Aunt Ge ask first.
"Is Lin Yatou there? I'm looking for Lin Yatou."
Hearing that she was looking for Lin Cai, Huani turned around and called out. Only after seeing Lin Cai come out did she go out to the field.
They had only been there for two days when they moved in, and they had already set up the house and yard. So for the past few days, the three brothers had been clearing land in the fields.
Originally, the third brother wasn't supposed to go, but the little guy said that his older brothers were doing it, so he had no reason not to go just because he was young.
Moreover, this is their family's property, so he has a responsibility and an obligation to help. Gu Dachui disagreed with him going, saying that Gu Sanhu is a student and shouldn't be working in the fields with them.
They even said that Gu Sanhu was going to become a top scholar in the imperial examinations and shouldn't be doing this kind of work that only peasants would do.
The little guy was quite helpless and didn't know what to say. Anyway, he felt that he had an obligation to help with any housework.
When Lin Cai found out, she immediately agreed. Besides, who says scholars can't work in the fields?
Lin Cai saw Granny Ge step into the courtyard carrying a basket, and quickly went over to her: "It's so late, Granny, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just that you just moved in, so you probably don't have anything. I brought you some food, please make do with it..."
"These things were all planted in my field before the snow. I personally cared for them until they grew up. They may not look very appealing, but they are definitely safe to eat..."
As Aunt Ge took vegetables out, she praised them. Lin Cai nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and Xiao Chunhua ran out from inside.
When the little girl saw the dishes that Aunt Ge brought over, her eyes showed surprise, and her mouth opened wide involuntarily.
"Wow, so many vegetables! Mommy, so many vegetables! We'll have vegetables to eat, right?"
Hearing the little girl's words, Aunt Ge felt incredibly sorry for her!
A large cabbage was placed in front of the little girl: "Oh my, my little darling, how long has it been since you've had any cabbage!"
"Don't worry, as long as Auntie is here, Little Darling will have vegetables whenever she wants. If she runs out at home, she can just come to Auntie's house to get some."
Upon hearing this, Xiaochunhua's face broke into a big smile, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
After taking so many vegetables, Lin Cai asked Gu Jiao'er to bring out two coarse grain cakes for Aunt Ge. She was originally not going to accept them, but after hearing Lin Cai say, "You also gave us something, so this is just returning the favor," she said.
"If you don't accept this, then we'll feel awkward accepting your food in the future!"
"Why are you being so picky, girl? It's just a few dishes, nothing valuable. Besides, if I don't eat these things, they'll just rot there. I might as well give them to you to eat."
There was only one person in her family. She usually cooked a little food for Wang Yong, and the two of them didn't eat much, so the vegetables stored in the cellar were just going to go to waste.
But Lin Cai said that wasn't the case. All that Aunt Ge had belonged to Aunt Ge, not them. To put it bluntly, even if all of her things rotted away, they were still hers and had nothing to do with them.
Lin Cai and the others settled down in Yangjia Village, completely unaware that Scarface, whom they had missed, was now frantically searching for them.
"That old guy surnamed Gu said they came here, but they're not here at all. Did that old guy trick us?"
"I told you long ago, that old guy is no good person at all, and we shouldn't have trusted him. Now look what's happened, that old guy isn't here, and we haven't found him..."
"Miss Phosphorus, don't be so discouraged. Maybe they're right here. Besides, Linjiang City is so big, we should search carefully. Otherwise, how will we know if they're here or not?"
"You make it sound so easy. Do you think it's that easy to find? Look at us now, there are only three of us. Do you really think we can find it just by looking carefully?"
Hong Lin was furious. This guy surnamed Cui was just talking without any sense of the situation. He said he wanted to find out how to do it properly. But Linjiang City is so big, how could the three of them possibly find it? Even if they wanted to, how long would it take?
"We have to keep searching no matter how long it takes. Once we've finished this place and confirmed they're not here, we'll move on to the next location..."
Hearing this, Red Phosphorus looked at Scarface in disbelief: "Are you crazy? How could you get involved with him? This is such a small city as Linjiang, how are the three of us supposed to find it?"
"It's not hard to find the three of us, so let's find someone to help us. If we can't do it, surely someone else can?"
Scarface said he was looking for someone else, and the other two assumed he was going to the government office in Linjiang City. But he didn't go there; instead, he led the two men to an open area.
When he saw the signal being released into the sky, Red Phosphorus looked at Scar in disbelief once again.
How did you get this thing? Who gave it to you?
Scar didn't answer Red Phosphorus, but Red Phosphorus seemed to need to know the answer and kept pressing Scar for the question.
"Big guy, tell me, where did you get your signal flare from? Who gave it to you? When did you get it on your person?"
"I'm talking to you, are you even hearing me? Tell me right now!"
Scarface was getting annoyed by the woman's questions, so he stopped and looked at her: "Red Phosphorus, this is my own business, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
"How can it be none of my business? Do you even know what that signal flare was...?"
Before she could finish speaking, another signal flare appeared in the sky. This one was different from the previous one; it was missing a color.
After seeing this, Scarface turned around and walked in the other direction. Red Phosphorus quickly followed. When Cui Dazhu saw the two of them leave, he scratched his head, looking completely bewildered, and followed them as well.
He knew that both of them had secrets, so when he was with them, he didn't ask any questions or say anything; he just did what they said.
Besides, he's been doing a great job for so long, hasn't he? He just needs to keep it up.
