Chapter 148 Nan Ge Married Well!
"It's nothing, I'm just running an errand." Li Ergou thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just a simple errand.
There's absolutely no problem with that.
"Wait, sister-in-law, what did you say? Lü Hongliang?" Li Ergou seemed to suddenly remember something, and then looked at the basket that Gu Nan had placed on the ground.
Inside were some pre-packaged seasonings and some glass bottles filled with a dark, murky sauce.
“I know Lü Hongliang. He sells pork on the black market. He recently got into a business selling braised pork offal, and it’s making a lot of money.”
"I bought it once before, it was one yuan per pound, and the taste... was absolutely amazing."
"Pork offal, selling for such a high price, yet so many people are scrambling to buy it." As Li Ergou spoke, he was still reminiscing about the taste he had back then.
If Su Niannian hadn't come, Li Ergou would have overlooked something.
That's right, the braised pork offal I bought from outside tastes exactly the same as the one Su Niannian makes.
Could it be...
Li Ergou glanced at the seasonings in the basket, then at Su Niannian, and his eyes lit up.
"Sister-in-law, could it be that he got the recipe for that business from you?" Li Ergou asked in surprise.
I was wondering where Lu Hongliang, the pork seller, got such an amazing recipe.
Unexpectedly, it came from Su Niannian.
Su Niannian smiled. There was nothing to hide, so she told Li Ergou about her cooperation with Lü Hongliang.
Li Ergou remained silent upon hearing this.
This is an incredibly profitable business.
Li Ergou was envious.
If only I could have this business.
Gu Nan could tell what Li Ergou was thinking from his expression.
"This matter is dangerous and not so reliable."
"Those meat sellers have their own ways of doing things. Although they earn a lot, they also bear certain risks."
"If you do it, you're more likely to get caught," Gu Nan promptly reminded Li Ergou.
Li Ergou had no good connections or powerful backers in the county town.
Don't be fooled by how well Lü Hongliang has done this and how much money he's made. If it were Li Ergou, he might have gotten himself into unnecessary trouble.
Gu Nan didn't want Li Ergou's thoughts to become too active, so he gave him a reminder.
Li Ergou agreed with Gu Nan's words.
He suppressed his newly stirred thoughts.
Now, Li Ergou has more money than many other families in the village.
He felt content.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll definitely deliver the seasonings safely," Li Ergou assured her.
"Mmm." Su Niannian smiled.
Su Niannian had no aversion to Li Ergou calling her sister-in-law.
Not only did I not find it offensive, I actually quite enjoyed it.
Before leaving, Su Niannian told Li Ergou that if Lü Hongliang mentioned Boss Qian's request for goods, Li Ergou should say to wait a few more days.
Although Li Ergou didn't know what kind of goods they were, he understood that Su Niannian was a capable person.
I really didn't expect that someone as capable as Brother Nan might end up being a gigolo.
Actually, he also has bad teeth and wanted to find something soft to eat, but unfortunately he wasn't as lucky as Brother Nan.
"Don't worry, if I find a safer way to make money in the future, I'll think of you too," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Li Ergou scratched his head and smiled happily.
"Then thank you very much, sister-in-law." Li Ergou felt that his brother Nan had really found a good family.
When he looked at Gu Nan again, his expression became somewhat comical.
Gu Nan knew exactly what Li Ergou was thinking, and even kicked him as he left.
Li Ergou smiled and didn't pay any attention.
After all, we grew up together and have a good relationship.
If Gu Nan hadn't gone to the army so early, they probably would have spent even more time together.
Gu Nan and Su Niannian came out of Li Ergou's house.
Gu Nan was taking Su Niannian back to the educated youth settlement, and on the way, he would pass by the dilapidated house that Lu Xingguang was repairing.
The lights were on over there, so people were still working.
The oil lamps and candles were lit quite a bit, and they were very bright.
Two people passing by could see people working inside.
"They've hired a lot of people to repair the house, so it should be finished in a few days," Gu Nan said to Su Niannian, watching the construction progress.
“Yes, there’s more to see after we actually move out.” Su Niannian smiled broadly.
The thought of how Zhao Sulan would react if she knew the truth about that night only made me realize how bad it was.
If Lu Xingguang knew that Zhao Sulan had been seen naked by most of the men in the village that night, what would his reaction be?
Su Niannian was already getting impatient to watch the show.
But let's let the dust settle for a while; the real show will surely be even more exciting then.
Let the incident escalate further.
Su Niannian smiled happily, and Gu Nan, looking at the little girl beside him, also smiled happily.
Soon, Gu Nan took Su Niannian back to the educated youth settlement.
"Get some rest tonight, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning," Gu Nan said to Su Niannian.
Because there were people in the courtyard, Gu Nan did not take any further action towards Su Niannian.
Originally, Su Niannian wanted to pull Gu Nan into the space and hug him.
But considering that I'm going to perform surgery on Gu Nan's old superior tomorrow, I shouldn't flirt with Gu Nan at this time.
He must still be very worried inside.
"Okay," Su Niannian replied with a smile.
Gu Nan was allowed to go back first.
Gu Nan still needs to soak his older brother's legs when he gets back.
When Su Niannian returned to her room, Song Zhaodi had already gone to bed early.
Zhao Sulan and Huang Yingying remained silent to each other.
It seems their relationship is completely broken, and it will probably be very difficult to repair in the future.
"I left you some hot water; you can use it to wash up," Song Zhaodi said to Su Niannian, who had just returned, as she sat up.
Su Niannian nodded.
After washing up, I went back to my room to sleep.
Su Niannian slept soundly that night.
Huang Yingying, on the other hand, suffered from insomnia all night.
She kept thinking of ways to win over Gu Nan, but after thinking about it a lot, she felt that it would be quite difficult to do so.
If only there were some opportunity, I could get Gu Nan drunk.
But Huang Yingying knew that Gu Nan was a very difficult person to approach. What was the best way to get Gu Nan drunk?
Unexpected.
This made Huang Yingying feel increasingly anxious.
As a result, I didn't sleep a wink all night and just stared wide-eyed until dawn.
Su Niannian woke up very early in the morning, and Song Zhaodi made breakfast for her.
Su Niannian finished her meal happily and waited for Gu Nan to come and pick her up.
Song Zhaodi went to the threshing ground with the others.
Today, Huang Yingying and Zhao Sulan both went to work.
Lu Xingguang then took Qian Jun and a few familiar friends to repair the house.
After all, many of the male educated youth who helped out did so only after they had finished their own work points.
Time was limited, so Lu Xingguang still found a few people to work all day.
I believe it should be done in a few days.
Otherwise, feeding everyone would be a considerable expense.
