Three high-end cars slowly drove into Stoneback Village.

The two elders of the Mei and Wei families looked out and asked, “Is this Madam Gu’s maiden home in Stoneback Village?” Mrs. Wei asked curiously.

Mei Zhilin nodded. “Yes, Auntie. This is Stoneback Village. I’ve been here once before.”

However, that time, before she could appreciate the beautiful scenery here, she hurriedly left because of Wei Jianhang.

Mei Zhilin smiled and said, “Auntie, let me tell you. Gu Qingming has been here for a year. I thought she would be tanned, but I didn’t expect her to become even prettier and her skin to be fairer than before.”

When Mrs. Wei heard this, she was a little suspicious. “How is that possible? Didn’t Old Gu say that she contracted a lot of land and personally worked in the fields? 1 heard that no matter how beautiful a person working in the countryside is, they won’t become beautiful, right?”

“Pfft!” Wei Jianhang could not help but laugh. “Mom, you only heard about it. Think about it. If there are really no beautiful girls in the countryside, how did Madam Gu make Chairman Gu fall in love with her so passionately?”

Mei Zhilin also nodded and said, “That’s right. The so-called love at first sight is actually just an explanation for lust. I heard that Chairman Gu fell in love with Madam Gu at first sight.”

However, Madam Wei waved her hand and said, “It’s different. How can it be the same?”

Wei Jianhang asked in confusion, “Why is it different, Mom?”

Madam Wei said, “Back then, Gu Jianguo fell in love with Shi Yashu at first sight when he was in university. At that time, Shi Yashu was still in school. How could she have so much time to stay in the countryside? She didn’t stay in the countryside for long. Moreover, Shi Yashu was originally a beauty-loving person. Her skin was well-maintained. Of course, it was impossible for her to be as tanned as in the countryside.”

“Auntie, you’re right.” Mei Zhilin nodded in agreement. “But, Auntie, have you noticed that Madam Gu’s skin has been getting better recently?”

“That’s true!” Madam Mei said. “Shi Yashu’s skin is smooth and tender now. Her face is full of collagen, as if she has returned to her teenage years. I wonder how she maintains her skin?”

Madam Wei said, “She said that her skin became better and better because she ate the food her daughter planted.”

Mei Zhilin immediately said, “The freckles on Zeng Meili’s face have also become lighter and lighter after eating the vegetables bought from the Gu family a few times.”

“Linlin, are you serious? Are the freckles on Zeng Meili’s face really getting lighter and lighter?” Madam Wei asked doubtfully. “But how is that possible? The freckles on Zeng Meili’s face can’t be cured even with medical cosmetology. Now, after eating a few vegetables, the freckles have become lighter?”

Mei Zhilin said very seriously, “Auntie, this is true. You have to know that the vegetables planted by Gu Qingming have cured Little Yu’s anorexia. Also, Auntie, David couldn’t eat much, but he can now eat the food made from the things he brought back from the Gu family.”

Wei Jianhang said, “Yes, I feel very uncomfortable eating other things, but 1 feel much better eating her family’s food. That’s why I can eat.”

When Father Wei heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

The more the others spoke, the deeper their expressions became.

A moment later, Father Wei said very seriously, “Hang’er, perhaps it’s our fortune to be in Stoneback Village, oh no, to follow Gu Qingming.”

He had a faint feeling that Gu Qingming would be his Hang’er’s hope of survival..
