Chapter 171
Chapter 171: Old Master Guo

This time, they encountered the old fraud Gu Qingyao had met last time, Old Master Guo . The Old Master was truly wealthy, and had plenty of good items . He was also a gourmand . Haha!

His eyes lit up like a three thousand watt light bulb when he saw Gu Qingyao’s many dumplings and wontons .

“Little girl! You’re too clever . The last time I ate meat, those fellows kept a close eye on me . Tell me, how many more years can an old man like me live? But they still try to bother me when I eat a little meat . They have no respect for the elderly!

“These dumplings are great! Although they are not as satisfying as meat… my wife will certainly like them . Hehehe!

“Give me a few more . I also want the wontons . Do you have any sesame oil? I want a little . I will definitely trade you some good things for them . My wife likes to eat dumplings dipped in vinegar, with a little sesame oil . ”

Old Master Guo’s heart ached when he spoke of his wife .

The two of them had a son and a daughter . They had waited eagerly for their children to grow up and establish their own families and careers . But they had not expected disaster to suddenly befall their family .

Their son had been away when they were looted . He was not yet married . When the family met with misfortune, their son had also disappeared . Even now, he did not even know whether his son was alive .

His only daughter declared that she was cutting ties with them, and married into their oppressors’ family . Right now, that family was doing well, and their daughter was currently oppressing their old friends .

They had been demoted for many years, but their daughter had shown no concern for them . She had really broken off ties with them .

His wife had almost cried herself blind over this .

For many years, his wife had suffered from the pain of their daughter’s betrayal and their son’s disappearance .

As for him, he could only try his best to get his wife some nicer things to eat, and live a slightly better life!

They were once immensely rich, and his wife was the matriarch of an influential family . Now she had no choice but to sweep the streets with him . Even a few dumplings and wontons for the new year were considered a luxury .

He knew that when this era passed, his gold, silver and treasures would still be priceless . But he did not care . Right now he just wanted his wife to have a better life .

He must take care of himself . He must not die before his wife . How could she survive without anyone to take care of her?

Gu Qingyao had a good impression of this old man who looked so kindly, but still had a trace of craftiness . She gave him plenty of dumplings, wontons, sesame oil and some dried fruits .

Gu Qingyao’s heart ached when she saw the old man’s face, which was etched with the lines of suffering . She handed two bottles to him .

“The large bottle contains medicinal liquor, which can help to preserve the health of the elderly . It’s suitable for someone of your age . The small bottle contains medicine for colds and fevers . Take one pill twice a day if you fall sick . ”

The Old Master was taken aback . He had not expected the girl to give him this?

In these times, medicines were extremely valuable . Even more valuable than food .

As “bad elements”, they could not seek treatment if they fell ill . The last time his wife had caught a cold and run a fever, she had barely made it…

“This… this…”

Gu Qingyao did not say anything else . “Hurry home! It’s not safe here . ”

There were many trades going on at the end of the year . Although there were good bargains to be had, checks were also stringent . Considering Old Master Guo’s identity, the longer he lingered in the black market, the more risk he incurred .

Gu Qingyao left with Mo Beihan . Old Master Guo clutched his things, unable to speak for a long time .
