My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

110 Chapter 110 Waking Up

Gu Chengrui was purposely sleeping lightly. When he heard the commotion, he immediately woke up and lit the oil lamp on the bedside table. He looked at the unlucky man and said, “Brother, you’re awake.”

“Who are you? Where is this place?” The unlucky guy asked warily.

“This is my house, and I found you by the river the night before. Who are you?” Gu Chengrui asked. “Yesterday afternoon, someone came over to search the village for bandits.”

“Bandits, huh.” The unlucky guy’s eyes flickered after hearing this, and then he sneered. He thought, “Like master, like servant, distorting the truth as always.”

!!

Gu Chengrui looked at his disdainful expression and knew that this person was most likely the owner of that batch of grains.

“You haven’t eaten anything for a day and a night. I’ll go get you something to eat first.”

“That, um, can I use the toilet for a moment?” The unlucky guy blushed and stammered.

“Wait a moment.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he went outside and brought in the chamber pot he had prepared earlier. Then, he helped him turn over so that he could relieve himself.

After the person was done, Gu Chengrui put the chamber pot outside and went to the kitchen to bring him the warm millet porridge and steamed tofu with cabbage. “It’s a little late; just make do with it.”

“This is already more than enough.” The unlucky guy began to eat in big mouthfuls.

However, his movements weren’t crude or ugly in the slightest, but bold and elegant.

This reminded Gu Chengrui of the silk clothes this person had worn and the jade crown on his head. His identity must not be simple.

After he finished eating, Gu Chengrui asked while cleaning up, “Do you still want more?”

“No, maybe tomorrow.”

“By the way, may I know your name? I’m Gu Chengrui. ”

“My surname is Zhou, Zhou Huaiming. I should be older than you, so you can just call me Brother Zhou.”

“Nice to meet you, Brother Zhou. Your injuries are too serious for you to move now, so you should lie down quickly.”

“Sorry for the trouble.” After the unlucky man finished speaking, he carefully laid down on the bed while Gu Chengrui placed the bowl and chopsticks on their dining table.

After lying on the brick bed, the two chatted for a while. However, it was mainly Gu Chengrui who was talking, while Young Master Zhou only said he was from the capital and nothing else.

Gu Chengrui did not mind because he knew that Zhou Huaiming would not tell him his identity if he couldn’t trust him.

However, Gu Chengrui also revealed what was on the surface. It was information that could be found with a simple check.

When Young Master Zhou heard that he was from the Gu family in the capital, he was stunned for a moment and did not ask any more questions.

Young Master Zhou didn’t expect Gu Chengrui to work with Uncle Liu and didn’t expect that the bean sprouts and dried yuba were the work of this young couple.

Thinking of them as a couple, he felt a little guilty. Because of him, the young couple had to sleep in separate rooms. It seemed that he had better switch places tomorrow.

The following day, Zhou Ying began to make breakfast after plating some tofu.

Breakfast was simple. It was millet porridge, mustard greens in sauce, sweet and sour radishes, and some black steamed buns with cabbage and pork mince.

After breakfast, Young Master Zhou said guiltily, “Miss, I’m sorry for disturbing your lives with my arrival. I think I’ll stay in the west room.”

Zhou Ying shook her head and said, “I wouldn’t go so far as to say that you disturbed us.”

“By the way, I was just about to tell you about this. It’s not safe here as people come and go in the outer wing, so it’s better to move to the west wing and come out as little as possible. If you’re discovered, we can’t protect you, right?”

“I understand. Thank you so much. I’ll leave as soon as I can move.” Young Master Zhou nodded.

Zhou Ying nodded and cleaned the dishes before returning to the kitchen.
