Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Zhou Ying finished all this, the corn she had planted earlier had ripened. Zhou Ying harvested them all and placed them in the drying area.
At the same time, she placed four of the more tender corn cobs in her oven to roast them, while the rest were stored in the warehouse.
She planted the emptied fields with half peanuts and half sesame seeds.
After she was done, the tender roast corn was ready.
As soon as it was out of the oven, Gu Chengrui walked in with a giant watermelon in his arms. “Yo, roasted corn! We’ve been here for four years, but this is our first time eating some.”
“This time, I kept some more corn in our storage. If you want to eat some, just let me know.”
“Got it. The corn is still hot, so let’s eat a slice of watermelon first.”
“Go wash your hands. I’ll get the knife.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and took a fruit knife to slice the watermelon.
After the watermelon was sliced, Gu Chengrui rushed back.
The couple sat on their chairs and did not want to move after they finished an entire watermelon and four roasted corns.
A moment later, Gu Chengrui got up and pulled her up. “Let’s go. We’ll take a walk, and the watermelons will digest soon.”
The couple went around the mountain for a walk. Zhou Ying found that the cherries and lychees on the mountain were almost ripe, so she got busy harvesting a batch of fruits.
After they were done, the two of them went out of the interspace to sleep.
The next day, after Gu Chengrui woke up, he went to take a look at Gu Chenglin. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Gu Chengrui did not disturb him and returned home.
After washing up and enjoying their breakfast, Zhou Ying took some rice, water, and snakehead fish in her interspace to make a small pot of black fish porridge. She packed it and handed it to Gu Chengrui before taking the rest for Gu Chenglin.
Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui carried his lunchbox and went to visit King Rui.
Seeing that Doctor He had just finished examining King Rui’s wound, Gu Chengrui went forward and asked, “How’s His Highness? Has the fever subsided?”
“There’s still a slight fever, but the wound is starting to heal. He’ll be fine after two or three days of rest.” Doctor He looked at the lunchbox in his hand and said, “Since Lord Gu is here, then it’s your turn to keep watch. This old man will need his meal.”
“Okay, you go ahead.” Gu Chengrui nodded and made way for him.
After Doctor He left, Gu Chengrui saw that King Rui was awake and in good spirits. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I asked Zhou Ying to cook some fish porridge. It’s good for your body.”
“I have troubled you, cousin.” King Rui nodded.
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment when he heard him call him “cousin”. He opened the lunchbox and scooped a bowl of porridge for him.
Then, he leaned King Rui up on his bed and fed him two servings of porridge.
After eating his fill, King Rui was obviously in better spirits. After lying back down, he asked directly, “What do you plan to do with the Lu family? Do you need me to take action?”
“There’s no need for that. King Hui is already in a terrible situation. If you make a move now, he might lash out in panic.
“Let us deal with it ourselves.”
“Alright, if you have any difficulties, remember to let me know.
“Oh right, I heard you want to return to your hometown.
“Now that King Hui and King Kang have their eyes on you, Once you leave, it’s hard to say if you can return or not.
“Moreover, Uncle Liu and County Magistrate Sun are there, so your family should not be in danger.
“If you have anything to do, you can write a letter back. They will help you get it done.”
Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
Although it would be a little dangerous if it were just the two of them, it would not be a big deal. At most, they would hide in Zhou Ying’s interspace.
However, Gu Chenglin was following them, and they had to be mindful of their family in the village. He did not dare to take the risk..
