Chapter 31 Finding Trouble Chapter 31 Finding Trouble
In the Ji family's yard, Gu Ping was sitting on the doorstep with his three children.
The old man and three children seemed to be blocking the road, deliberately preventing the Lu family from entering.

Lu Chunmiao did not come alone this time. The entire Lu family came except Ji Cang, his crazy daughter and several grandchildren.

There were eight of them standing in the yard, with sullen faces, as if they were visiting relatives and looking for trouble.

Lu Chunmiao said, "Old Gu, don't be so stubborn. I tell you, if you delay and let Gu Jinyao and Zhou Qianlin run away, you will be responsible. Not only will you have to return the betrothal gift, but you will also have to compensate the Ji family for their losses."

As soon as this family came over, they started to destroy Gu Jinyao's reputation. Gu Ping was so angry that he wanted to chase them away with a stick, but they had three tall and strong sons with them, so Gu Ping couldn't beat them.

"Lu Chunmiao, how many times have I told you that my eldest daughter went to Yuanbao Town with Ji Shaobei. Do you not understand what I am saying or what?"

Lu Chunmiao laughed: "Go to Yuanbao Town? What can't be done in our Fengyu Town? Why do you have to go to Yuanbao Town? If not to meet your lover, what else are you going to do?"

Gu Ping: “Nonsense!”

He is a grown man, but he really can't win the argument with these shrews.

"Am I talking nonsense?" Lu Chunmiao looked around at the people around him. "Then tell us, what on earth did she go to Yuanbao Town for? She didn't want to go to a nearby place, but had to go to a far place. What's the trick?"

Lu Chunmiao kept asking about Gu Jinyao's whereabouts since she entered the door. Gu Ping only said that he went to Yuanbao Town and didn't mention anything else.

He also thought that this family had bad intentions and didn't want to tell anyone about their business affairs.

But now that so many people are watching, there's no way to hide it by keeping all the blame on him. Besides, it's only a matter of time before people find out about my business in town. Someone will always see it and spread the news.

Gu Ping said, "The eldest girl and Shao Bei went to do business and left early in the morning."

"Doing business?" Lu Chunmiao rolled his eyes. "What kind of business?"

Gu Ping: "Selling rice candy."

"Rice candy!" Lu Chunmiao laughed. "She sells rice candy? Who makes it? Don't tell me Gu Jinyao can make rice candy. Everyone knows who she is. She can't even cook, but she can make rice candy. Who would believe this? If you want to lie, you should find a better excuse."

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. Lu Chunmiao doesn't live in Dayang Village. She didn't know about Gu Jinyao's good times in the past, but she has heard a lot of rumors during this year of confusion.

Gu Jinyao makes rice candy?
She believed that food could be wasted, but she would never believe that it could be sold even if she was beaten to death.

Ran Jie couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Who said Gu Jinyao can't make rice candy? I've eaten hers and they're delicious. It's not normal to sell something so delicious."

She learned how to grow bean sprouts from Gu Jinyao. Although she hasn't eaten the sprouts yet, Ran Jie has been observing them these past few days. The sprouts are growing well and it's obvious that they've been grown.
