Chapter 570: Onset of Bai Youran’s Condition (3)

Bai Youran did not have any strength left from the pain. She rolled her eyes and did not speak.

Gu Qingyao knew what was going on with Bai Youran without asking for the news. But it did not affect her life as she would not be involved in that.

Jiang Yiru had started her work. Both of them now had an official job. With their skills, their work had been going smoothly. They had an income and were respected by others. They both appeared to be more energetic.

Gu Qingyao was busy as well during this period.

The capital was really a place of wealth.

It was filled with all kinds of capable people.

Besides taking care of her teacher, she spent most of the time wandering around the few black markets. The markets here were almost the same scale as the ones in Nancheng and Shanghai. But the chance of getting top-grade goods was much higher than that in Nancheng. It was similar to Shanghai.

She met three elderly recently. They were all living alone without children. But not completely without children. They were all from big and renowned families in the past, with many wives. They had at least eight to nine children, the most with thirty children.

They were all people with many wives and children.

But their families all encountered some misfortunes. All the wives left the family. They were left alone.

One of them was cleaning the street every day and the other two cleaning the toilets.

But they had plenty of treasures in possession. They did not want to keep any for their inheritors at all.

Elder Yang asked why he would bother with them when they left him alone. It did not matter that they were not around or they did not carry his surname.

They were all his offsprings.

He had plenty of wives and would have enough offsprings.

All the treasures he had were used to exchange for goods. He always came to the black market to exchange for food.

Elder Sun who cleaned the toilet had the same situation as him. He was proud that he lived near the toilet so that it would not capture people’s attention when he cooked meat.

The last one was elder Zhou. His condition was better. He cleaned the street every day.

The three of them always gathered to drink and chat.

Elder Yang had the most wealthy family and spent two years in a foreign country. He really loved to drink whisky.

They were excited when they met Gu Qingyao.

She had plenty of goods in her hand.

Besides rice and grain, she had all kinds of meat. It was considered rare to get bacon and chicken. But Gu Qingyao had more variety.

She had pork, mutton, chicken, duck meat, goose meat, beef, donkey meat and even horse meat.

She also had many fruits and snacks. It seemed like she had all kinds of food in the world. This was the type of person they loved.

Elder Yang loved whisky. He drank lots of them in the past, but there was nowhere to get it now.

However, Gu Qingyao even had whisky. Elder Yang was delighted to know that and used all kinds of treasure to exchange for it.

Elder Sun was weird. He loved desserts.

Elder Zhou loved snacks. The dried food can was his favorite.

When they knew that Gu Qingyao could cook delicious food, it seemed as though they had met their closest relative.

They had lived the best life in the past and were served by others. Now, everything changed, and they had to cook for themselves.
