Yu Dong turned to look at the woman behind her who just spoke up suddenly to stop them. Her eyes narrowed as she carefully assessed the woman dressed in a vermillion robe and red lipstick that was carefully painted on her lips. Usually, won in this world did not get ready like this, which was why this woman struck as soone weird to Yu Dong and her guard raised instinctively.
" Yes," Yu Dong replied as she turned to face the woman. She hid her rs behind her as sothing told her that this woman was not as simple as she looked.
The woman in red opened her eyes and coyly smiled at Yu Dong while scrutinizing her from head to toe. She then tilted her head and asked, " What kind of shop is this? It really makes
envious. I have never seen it before, it strikes
as sothing really unique and interesting don't you think?"
" It's just sothing that ca to my head," Yu Dong did not show her suspicions on her face. She very calmly smiled at the woman in front of her and then explained, " I did not have the space to build multiple shops which is why I ca up with the idea of piling one shop over another as for the interior, I am indeed a bit talented in that area."
She paused and then asked the woman, " By the way, I have never seen you here before. Who are you?"
The woman laughed softly as she replied, " I am Gu Lingyu. I just arrived in the town after escaping from the drought regions. Compared to the town where I lived, this place is doing better. At least I can buy grains here with money. In my town, the situation is so troubleso that money has beco nothing but cold and hard tal, cannot even buy anything."
She then pointed to the house which was at the end of the alley and then said, " My grandmother lives there. If you don't mind then you can co to my place for a drink or two."
Yu Dong raised her brows. This was her first ti seeing soone so polite in the town, especially when this woman was living in a house which was as big as her mall.
" Then thank you for your invitation," Yu Dong nodded before she urged the rest of the rs to leave with her.
As her back turned to the woman, the woman nad Gu Lingyu's smile turned into a sinister sneer.
Gu Lingyu returned to the house where she was staying. The second she stepped inside the corpse of an old woman ca into view and next to it was a r who carefully examined the old woman. Gu Lingyu frowned when she saw that the corpse hadn't been discarded and said to the r, " i Ran, why did you not take care of this old woman yet?"
" How can I take care of her so soon?" i Ran replied as he rolled his eyes and turned to look at the woman behind him. " I need to make a human mask for that alone I need to deeply study this old woman's body. If we make a mistake and that woman recognizes what is wrong then it will be troubleso."
Gu Lingyu giggled upon hearing i Ran's words and then stated, " You are giving too much credit to that woman. I t with her and she looked like an idiot to . By the way one of her husband is pregnant hehe… I think that we will be able to make that ointnt that we always wanted with the foetus in his belly."
….
On the other hand, Yu Dong's face was taut. Seeing her like this, the rs could not help but be worried. What was the matter, why did Yu Dong suddenly beco like this?
Shen Li looked at Yu Dong and asked, " Is sothing wrong with that woman?"
Yu Dong nodded and then replied, " You all stay away from that woman for the ti being."
Though she wanted to tell Shen Li what she heard she did not want to scare him. He was getting close to his delivery date, if he was startled then it would cost her two precious lives! She could not afford for that to happen! It was better if she kept this matter in her heart and dealt with that Gu woman on her own.
Yu Dong did not explain the matter to them but the rs understood that there was sothing wrong with that Gu woman. The four of them decided to keep their distance from that woman, in case sothing happened then they would not be able to protect themselves!
The Yu family finished having their breakfast at a noodle shop where they ordered noodles with shredded at and ate until their stomachs were bulging when they returned to the mall. It was almost nine O'clock.
" Should we set the firecrackers off?" Ye Liu asked as he looked at the sun which was hovering over their heads.
Yu Dong nodded and Chen Ying went inside to get a long pole along with the firecrackers. She placed them on the pole and was ready to light up the firecrackers at any mont.
While they were waiting for the auspicious hour to start, a carriage ca to a stop in front of the mall. The door of the carriage opened and an old r with a frown appeared from inside the carriage.
" I say, Dong Dong… if you told us that you were going to close the vegetable shop then you should have told us that you were opening this mall as well! Do you have any idea how hard it was for
to live these past few weeks?" The old r reprimanded Yu Dong as soon as he stepped out of the carriage.
Though he did receive a few catties of vegetables from Yu Dong, it was nowhere near enough as his wife always fought with him for the vegetables!
