Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Return to the Gu Family

Having waited all day, the old woman from the Huang Family’s face finally looked better when she saw Gu Youyou had at last arrived.

Latter, Gu Youyou heard from Dabao that grandma had been cursing at home all afternoon! Of course, that was a later story.

"Youyou, why have you come?" Gu Feng had just changed into clean clothes and came out to wash his hands, ready to eat dinner. Seeing Gu Youyou, he was quite surprised!

Gu Youyou, holding a winnowing basket, entered the yard of the Gu Family and said, "Grandpa, I’ve brought you a winnowing basket!"

"Winnowing basket?" Gu Feng certainly didn’t understand why Gu Youyou was inexplicably bringing a winnowing basket!

The old woman from the Huang Family heard Gu Youyou talking in the kitchen, hurried out, took the winnowing basket from Gu Youyou’s hand, and said to Gu Feng with a smile and a wink, "Yesterday, Youyou’s family was making winnowing baskets, they made quite a few! Our winnowing basket is broken, and your eyes aren’t good at night because of your age. You care about Youyou so much, and naturally, she also cares about you. What’s wrong? Can’t she give you a winnowing basket?"

Completely baffled, Gu Feng exclaimed, "When did our winnowing basket break? Aren’t there two new ones hanging on the wall that haven’t been used? I made them last year!"

Seeing that Gu Feng was not reacting as she wanted, the old woman from the Huang Family, wishing she could knock some sense into his head, scolded, "You old fool, this is your granddaughter’s way of showing her respect. Her family can’t offer anything else, so what if it’s just a winnowing basket, can’t you just accept it?"

"I...?"

"Sigh, this is Youyou’s goodwill; she has brought it all the way here, you surely can’t make her take it back now? Youyou’s not well, it wasn’t easy for her to carry it here, and she doesn’t have the strength to take it back!"

Gu Youyou just smiled faintly without saying a word!

After listening to so much from the old woman of the Huang Family, Gu Feng realized what was going on. Having been husband and wife for decades, how could he not know what his old lady was like? She definitely demanded it from Youyou.

He glowered and angrily said, "Old woman, did you go to Youyou’s place yesterday? Did you ask her for this winnowing basket?"

The woman’s face changed as she said, "Don’t talk nonsense; I did nothing of the sort!"

She didn’t care; holding the winnowing basket, she hummed and returned to the house!

I’ll just accept it no matter what you say!

"Just go ahead!" Gu Feng was exasperated with the woman from the Huang Family and could do nothing about her. He turned to Gu Youyou and said, "Tell grandpa, what is this about? Your family doesn’t have fields to farm, what are you doing making so many winnowing baskets for?"

Gu Youyou replied, "I use them to dry shiitake mushrooms and also some medicinal herbs! Grandpa, my illness requires long-term medication, and buying them from the pharmacy is too expensive. The game that Zijin catches is just enough for us to eat, we can’t afford the cost of my medicine. So when he goes hunting, I go with him into the mountains to collect some mountain goods for money, and it’s even better when I find herbs that I can use! It saves us from having to buy them."

Gu Feng was shocked and said, "You’re gathering medicinal herbs yourself? Youyou, these herbs are not like other things, don’t make a mistake and eat something that causes problems!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t!"

Dismissing her assurances, Gu Feng said, "If you lack money for medicine, just tell grandpa. I can skip a few meals, but it won’t reduce the money for your medicine! You used to be sick all the time and never left the house, how did you suddenly learn about medicinal plants?"

Gu Youyou shook her head gently saying, "Zijin teaches me! He runs around the mountains all day long; he knows everything in there!"

Gu Youyou brought up Jin Zijin, watching carefully for the old man Gu’s reaction!

She wanted to know, what exactly was the relationship between Gu Feng and Jin Zijin?

Indeed, upon mentioning Jin Zijin, Gu Feng’s face took on an unnatural look, and he merely said, "Since it was Zijin’s idea, then let it be so!"
