Chapter 36 Observing in Secret (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

There is an old saying in Gao Qinghe's family.

You can't just think about it; if you do, it will appear immediately.

As dawn broke, the siblings, each with a hot glutinous rice ball in their mouths and a handbag in their hands, walked slowly toward the stone bridge at the village entrance.

Halfway there, Gao Qingmiao finished her rice ball, took the small handbag from her sister quite naturally, and continued walking ahead.

With both hands free, Gao Qinghe put one hand in her pocket and held the half-eaten glutinous rice ball in the other, chewing slowly.

Shanghe Village is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The glutinous rice it grows is also different from that of other places. The more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes, and you have to savor it slowly.

And in order not to ruin her carefully chosen outfit, she ate even more carefully.

On the first day of setting up her stall, Gao Qinghe herself was the best human model to showcase the goods.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail with some hair down, and tied a colorful silk scarf into a bow on the ponytail.

She wore a pair of imitation pearl stud earrings; the pearls were large and round.

She was wearing a red sweater that she had designed herself before.

I still remember that winter, my father knitted this sweater for me during the busiest time of the semester, using only an hour of his lunch break to spend a whole week making it.

This is a loose-fitting red sweater with batwing sleeves. Although it was knitted two or three years ago, it still looks fashionable to wear now.

Gao Qinghe secretly gave herself a thumbs up for her aesthetic sense from her teenage years.

The tight black leggings showed off Gao Qinghe's long, straight legs.

Pairing it with a loose-fitting, batwing-sleeved sweater that falls just below the hips makes the legs look longer and the person slimmer.

Gao Qinghe wore the only pair of leather shoes she owned, paired with nude stockings.

To avoid being overwhelmed by her outfit, Gao Qinghe bought a new lipstick.

She has great skin, and with her bright red lipstick, she instantly becomes vibrant and radiant.

This morning, Gao Qinghe came out of her room, and her outfit from head to toe received unanimous praise from the whole family.

Last night, Huang Ying, who was worried that these weird leggings wouldn't sell well, was now incredibly tempted.

Before leaving the house, I secretly told my daughter to remember to leave me a pair of leggings.

Gao Qinghe's only regret was that it was still dark and the villagers had not yet come out.

Otherwise, they would receive even more praise.

As we approached the stone bridge, I finally finished the sticky rice ball in my hand.

Gao Qinghe took out a handkerchief and carefully pressed it to the corner of her mouth, trying to avoid ruining the lipstick.

She was wiping herself in a pretentious manner, since there was no one on the road anyway.
Gao Qinghe suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and turned around in horror.

If I hadn't lived two lifetimes, I wouldn't have taken life and death so lightly.

If she suddenly saw a woman in a red wedding dress standing under the old locust tree, she would definitely have a heart attack!

[Host, be aware! Huang Yanqiu is secretly observing you!]

Gao Qinghe remained expressionless, and said ironically, "You could have reminded me later."

The system felt wronged, wanted to cry, but was too cowardly.

Gao Qinghe frowned deeply. Her eyesight was so good that she saw Huang Yanqiu's bruises and swelling right in front of her.

She was still wearing the red suit dress she wore for her wedding yesterday, but the red flower in her hair was nowhere to be seen, and her hair was a mess.

However, since the wedding dress was worn neatly, it was obvious that the dress had never been taken off.

Huang Yanqiu put on makeup, but the women in the village were still unfamiliar with makeup. The powder was applied too white, and the blush was spread all over her face, making her look like a monkey's bottom.

Her makeup was already bad, and the scars on her forehead, around her eyes, and around her mouth made her look even more like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.

Gao Qinghe gasped.

Why aren't you running away after things have gotten so bad?!
Gao Qingmiao called out from ahead, and Gao Qinghe quickly looked away and hurried to the bridgehead to wait for the bus.

Unexpectedly, three people were already standing at the bridgehead, having arrived even earlier than the siblings.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the three Zheng brothers. Zheng Laowu's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't even open his eyes. It was unclear whether he had fainted or not. Zheng Laoer and Zheng Laosan each supported him on one side, holding him in the middle.

Gao Qinghe glanced at Zheng Laowu's legs. His left trouser leg was stained with blood, and his calf was tightly bound with gauze, but blood was still seeping out.

However, it looks like the village doctor has already bandaged and stopped the bleeding. It looks scary, but there shouldn't be any danger to his life.

Gao Qinghe looked back at the "female ghost" under the old locust tree, and then at "Zheng Pig Head" whose legs were covered in blood.

I suddenly realized I had been too hasty.

Huang Yanqiu doesn't need to run, it's Zheng Laowu who needs to run!
Gao Qingmiao asked in shock, "What happened to Brother Zheng Wu? How did he get like this? Is he alright?"

"Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother! Can you still hear me, Fifth Brother?"

Zheng Lao Er and Zheng Lao San remained silent, only turning their heads to look elsewhere.

On the first night of their marriage, a man wanted to enter the bridal chamber but was chased and attacked with a knife by his bride. How could such a thing be considered honorable?

However, when I saw Gao Qinghe's outfit, I couldn't help but look up at her several times.

When the car arrived, Gao Qinghe silently pulled her younger brother back half a step, letting the three Zheng brothers get on first before she and her brother got on.

The rural bus slowly drove out of the village, and the sky gradually brightened.

Huang Yanqiu stood under the tree, watching that bright and beautiful figure disappear into the mountain village surrounded by mountains.

She gazed blankly at the winding mountain road, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart.

Hopefully, that person will turn back and take her with him to the car that can get out of Shanghe Village.

Unfortunately not.

No one can take her out of here.

Huang Yanqiu raised her hand to wipe off the white powder and the cheap, blood-stained lipstick from her face, and stood there waiting for her unknown fate.

She attacked her husband with a knife on their very first night of marriage; neither her husband's family nor her own will forgive her.

She didn't know what methods they would use to deal with her.

But she was no longer afraid.

Huang Yanqiu recalled Gao Qinghe's brightly colored silk scarf, large pearl earrings, and those unfamiliar trousers.

She touched her earlobe, imagining herself wearing pearl earrings, and couldn't help but laugh.

Gao Qinghe's business must be booming today.

The sun is coming out.

Good weather means better customer traffic.

Finding a good spot for a stall is not easy. Gao Qinghe explained the requirements for choosing a location to her younger brother while leading him to the pedestrian street behind the county's No. 1 Middle School.

This is currently the busiest street in Qing County.

The pedestrian street is lined with partitioned storefronts, but these are managed by the market administrator and require rent payments.

These prime locations were fully rented out long ago.

Those who come to set up stalls can only choose the narrow open space between these stores.

Or you could negotiate with a store owner, pay them a small fee, and get the privilege of setting up a stall in front of the store.

As long as the products being sold don't overlap, most business owners are happy to do that.

Gao Qinghe spotted the shoe store at the street corner at a glance.

The husband and wife run a small shop that not only sells shoes but also repairs them.

This shop occupies two storefronts, taking up the prime corner location.

Gao Qinghe asked Gao Qingmiao to watch over the goods.

She turned around and went to the candy store next door to buy a pound of cookies, then picked out a silk scarf and two pairs of stockings before confidently walking into the shoe store.
