Both Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were well aware that the Sun family’s eldest son wasn’t acting out of a sense of filial piety, but because he did not know that the things hidden at his in-laws’ house had vanished. They were currently eager to split because they wanted to enjoy the wealth on their own.

But what would happen when they discovered that the things at her parents’ house had disappeared?

Gu Qingyao smiled so broadly her eyes almost disappeared. She looked so mischievous.

The new year was almost here!

They would certainly find out soon!

The next day, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan went to town together. The older cousins were frantically studying, so they did not come along.

Along the way, they happened to run into Qin Yufeng, who was on her way back to her parents’ home. With her were her eldest and second sons, and her youngest daughter, Sun Mei.

Gu Qingyao raised her brows. She could guess why they were going back to her parents’ house. She was filled with anticipation.

When Sun Mei looked at Gu Qingyao, she was not as arrogant as before. Instead, she seemed rather bewildered while her two older brothers looked at Gu Qingyao impudently.

Mo Beihan glanced at them coldly. The two of them were so frightened that they quickly looked away.

Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao hurriedly left.

The new year was approaching and the town was bustling. Mo Beihan sought out Chen Jin first. As usual, he had brought many good things.

Ten kilograms of noodles, a hundred eggs, two dried chickens, two dried rabbits, ten links of sausages, a bag of jam, and a bag of peanuts.

This year’s harvest had been bountiful and the price of food on the market had fallen. So Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao had not brought him much food.

Chen Jin had many connections and was on good terms with many rich families. It was convenient for him to deal with these rare commodities.

Especially with the new year approaching.

“How have things been in the city lately?”

Chen Jin had brought out a selection for Gu Qingyao while Mo Beihan chatted with him.

Chen Jin frowned. “There has been some unrest, and they’ve been very strict lately, with frequent patrols.”

Mo Beihan frowned. He got some news from Chen Jin, told him to be careful, then left with Gu Qingyao.

“Are we still going to the black market?” Gu Qingyao asked.

Mo Beihan lowered his head to look at her. He smiled. “Don’t worry. With our abilities, we’ll be fine even if we go to the black market. I’m just considering the current circumstances.”

Gu Qingyao said calmly. “We can’t do anything about it. This era hasn’t passed yet. No matter how capable we are, our environment is like that and we cannot change it.”

Mo Beihan sighed. “That’s true! We still have many years to go. Meanwhile, as long as everyone is safe and sound, that will be enough.”

The two of them walked around all the major black markets and bartered away many of their resources. This time, they ran into Old Master Guo again.

The Old Master had aged significantly since last year. They could tell that he had had a hard year.

Gu Qingyao had helped him a few times, so he recognized her. When he saw her this time, his eyes immediately lit up.

“Girl, girl!”

When Gu Qingyao heard his voice, she hurried over. The three of them headed for a deserted spot. Old Master Guo was very agitated when he saw Gu Qingyao. “Girl! You haven’t been here for a long time. I’ve been waiting and waiting for you frantically.”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “I was at the provincial capital and just got back. Then I had some matters to settle at home, so I couldn’t come earlier. Grandfather Guo, why are you looking for me?”
