Wen Li was speechless with embarrassment; that was quite a show of bravado...

The main problem is that she didn't look closely, and these days, who would dare to openly take out an antique to use?

"Haha, I'll send you a new one next time!"

"No need, I still have some!" Gu Huai gave her a resentful look, then clutched his still-throbbing heart. "You'd better leave now, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting you!"

Upon seeing this, Wen Li picked up her basket and ran away.

Seeing her looking like she'd been chased by a dog, Gu Huai's heart ached even more. He rubbed his temples and gritted his teeth, saying, "Third brother, go tell her to come over next week. The fruit trees should arrive in the next few days!"

The third brother suppressed a laugh and then quickly chased after him.

When Wen Li saw someone chasing after her, she turned around and saw that it was the third brother. She immediately stopped.

"What's wrong? Did your boss change his mind? Did he send you to beat me up?"

The third brother waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, the eldest brother told me to tell you to come next week; the fruit trees should have arrived!"

Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wasn't angry. "Okay, I understand. Go back and comfort your boss!"

The third brother was baffled. "Huh? Why?"

"I'm worried he'll be so angry he'll vomit blood!"

Third brother: ……

After leaving the black market, Wen Li changed her clothes and walked out of the alley. She saw five or six people standing guard around her, looking suspiciously inside.

A short while later, Scarface came out with an older woman who looked similar to her. When the men saw the woman, their eyes lit up. Once Scarface and his companion were out of sight, the men quickly followed.

As for Wen Li, nobody cares!

Wen Li hadn't expected Gu Huai to make such a thorough arrangement, which saved her a lot of unnecessary trouble.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some necessities before going to the state-run restaurant.

I packed two meat dishes for Chen Yan and bought twenty large meat buns for myself before going to the post office to pick up the mail.

Wen's mother wrote him a letter and sent him money, and Wen's older brother also wrote him a letter and sent him money.

After withdrawing the money, she rode her bicycle back to the village.

As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she saw Li Xiangxiang looking around at the crossroads, as if she was waiting for someone. When she saw Wen Li, she excitedly waved to her.

"Xiangxiang, what are you doing here on such a cold day?"

"Little Pear, I'm waiting for you!"

Wen Li got off her bicycle. "Have you found out?"

Li Xiangxiang's face was a little ugly, but it was from anger. "Yeah, you're right. That bastard really does know Jiang Yue'er and often buys her things. All the neighbors around his house have seen Jiang Yue'er, and everyone thought they were dating!"

"So what do you think?"

"Of course we made things clear! That stingy guy only bought me a bottle of soda and then made me pay him back! It made me so angry! I even treated him to a movie, and he didn't mention it at all!"

If there hadn't been other people around, Li Xiangxiang would have almost started cursing.

Wen Li found it amusing; such extreme cases existed in every era. "It's good that things are clear now. Luckily, we only met twice, otherwise you would have been the one who suffered!"

Li Xiangxiang's cheeks puffed up with anger. "My mother said the same thing, but I can't swallow this!"

"You're like this..." Wen Li whispered a few words in her ear, and Li Xiangxiang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Wen Li chuckled and patted her shoulder, "Keep your eyes open next time!"

Li Xiangxiang was a little embarrassed. "Xiao Li, I'm so sorry. My mother misunderstood you before. She'd like to invite you and Chen Yan to our house for dinner tonight so she can thank you in person!"

"No need, I just told you what I knew, and that clears up the misunderstanding!"

Li Xiangxiang clung to Wen Li's arm, feigning pitifulness, "That won't do. My mother has already killed the old hen at home. If you don't go, I'll get scolded. You don't want to see me get scolded, do you?"

Wen Li chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'll go, okay? I'll come over after I get back and put my things away!"

"Okay, then I'll go home and wait for you to come!"

Wen Li waved her hand and rode her bicycle back to the educated youth compound. Before she returned, she put the prepared vegetables and meat into her basket so that it wouldn't seem out of place to others.

"Little Pear, you're finally back! Xiangxiang has been waiting for you all morning!"

"I know, I just saw her at the village entrance. She invited us to her house for dinner tonight!"

"Okay, I'll tidy up!" Chen Yan stacked the firewood under the eaves, her clothes covered in ash, she couldn't go out like this.

Wen Li put the things in the cabinet, and then took out the letter written by her mother.

She rambled on and on, her words full of concern, assuring Wen Li that everything was fine at home and that she shouldn't worry. Though a bit nagging, it warmed Wen Li's heart.

After reading the letter, Wen Li opened her brother's letter again. It also told her to take good care of herself and to tell him if she needed money, and not to suffer.

After reading the letter, she felt much better. She figured the chili sauce she had sent them should be finished, so she planned to make some more and send it to them, adding more spiritual spring water to help them recover.

However, making chili sauce all the time can get boring, so Wenli plans to make some dried meat or something similar. But that would make it difficult to add spiritual spring water, and she doesn't know if the effect would be worse.

Finally, she thought about it and decided to do a little bit of everything, taking a two-pronged approach, determined to get the Wen family members' health back on track, especially her eldest brother. In the original book, her eldest brother was the first to have an accident, followed by her father. He was her biggest benefactor, and she couldn't let anything happen to them.

After packing her things, she went to Chen Yan's room. It was cool now, so taking a bath was inconvenient. Chen Yan simply washed herself.

"Little Pear, did you bring anything?"

Wen Li handed the basket to Chen Yan, "Look, these are the cigarettes my dad prepared for me when I went to the countryside. They've been sitting here for so long, I'm planning to give them to the brigade leader!"

"Then I'll take a can of food!"

"Sure!"

After the two finished packing, they went to the brigade leader's house. Before they even arrived, a delicious aroma wafted from the brigade leader's house.

Wen Li went up and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was Li Xiangxiang's older brother, Li Anbang. He usually worked in the county town and was rarely home today.

"You must be Wen and Chen, the educated youth?"

"Yes, hello Comrade Li!"

"Hello, hello, please come in and have a seat!"

Li Anbang warmly invited the two inside, and then the captain followed them out.

"Captain, we apologize for bothering you, this is just a small token of our appreciation!"

"You silly child, we wanted to thank you, so why are you bringing things over? Take them back, take them back, I don't want them!"

Wen Li placed the cigarette in the brigade leader's hand. "Brigade leader, please take this. My dad prepared this for me when I went to the countryside. I haven't used it, so it's useless here. Please take it and smoke it!"

Chen Yan smiled and handed the canned food to the brigade leader. "Brigade leader, I haven't been of much help. I'd be too embarrassed to come and freeload if you didn't accept my gift!"
