Chapter 1761: Don’t Allow Him to Enter the Restaurant in the Future

Wen Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Li Gouzi’s back. How could Bai Yiqiao’s husband be this kind of person? He lacked any education and was just a street thug. However, Bai Yiqiao’s blessed expression didn’t look fake.

Wen Yu said to the waiter, “Don’t allow him to enter the restaurant in the future.”

He then shook his head and walked back inside the restaurant.

Having achieved her goal, Ning Shu went to the medicine store to buy some medicinal ingredients to bring back. Now that there was no money at home, she had better make some herbal facial masks to sell.

She just didn’t know whether they could be sold or not. Anyway, Ning Shu didn’t plan to sell all of them to ordinary peasant women.

Ning Shu also bought some drugs to kill rats. It was a drought, and crops couldn’t survive. Hence, swarms of rats could be seen scurrying across the dry and cracked ground.

There was a lot of food at home, and they had to guard against rats every day.

In addition, the rats would bite people when they were starving. The viruses they carried would spread to people, resulting in a plague.

After buying these things, Ning Shu went to the grain shop to take a look and asked about the price. The price of grain was now through the roof. It was several times more than the previous price, even for coarse grains.

With the amount of money used to buy ten catties in the past, now it could only buy two catties.

More merchants were storing food, planning to take advantage of the drought and riots to make money while the country was in turmoil. The food would only become more and more expensive.

Fortunately, she had bought enough grain before and stored it.

Ning Shu returned to the village in an ox cart. When she returned home, she took out all the herbs.

Father Chen watched Ning Shu mess with the herbs without saying anything. Now that there was no work in the field, Father Chen wandered around the house every day. He had nothing to do at all.

Their three meals a day had been reduced to two meals. In the words of Father Chen, they didn’t do anything all day. What was the point of eating so much? They had to save food, as they had no idea how long they would go on without rain. They had to wait until the next season of crops were matured to yield any sort of harvest.

Anyway, if they were not doing farm work, two meals were enough.

In addition to grinding medicinal powder and reading medical books, Ning Shu focused on the Fang family. It had been a while since Bai Yiqiao and Li Gouzi had developed sexual relations, but the Fang family was still calm. It was a testament to Bai Yiqiao’s ability.

Bai Yiqiao, who had experience in household matters, was a lot more clever than ordinary peasant women. She was also more resolute than ordinary peasant women when encountering issues.

If it was an ordinary peasant woman, they probably would have already been caught by their husband. They could only cry and face being abandoned by their husbands. At the same time, they would be criticized by people and perhaps even be drowned in a pig’s cage. Their entire life would be destroyed.

In fact, Bai Yiqiao was not as relaxed as Ning Shu thought. It could be said she was both mentally and physically exhausted. While concealing the truth from Fang Yong, she had to deal with the blackmailer Li Gouzi.

Just like now, Li Gouzi actually asked her for money again. He also said that she was the boss of Lucky Restaurant.

Bai Yiqiao was shocked. She had never told anyone, even Fang Yong, about Lucky Restaurant. Where did Li Gouzi hear about it?

“What nonsense are you talking about? How could Lucky Restaurant belong to me? Are you sleep talking?” Bai Yiqiao whispered.
