133 Chapter 133 Acceptance
Mrs. Liu’s face turned red when she heard this, but she couldn’t say anything to refute it.
“It’s settled then. I’ll try to rent a small shop in town. At least it’s better than you guys fighting at home every day.” Father Gu immediately decided.
“Then why not Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Sun go? They are more skilled at cooking than us.”
After hearing this, Father Gu looked at her deeply and said, “So you’re willing to carry water, gather firewood, and serve the whole family at home every day?
“Just go and try it for two days. I’ll ask Mrs. Guo to try if you can’t do it.”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately thought of her shoulder, which had been swollen for several days from carrying buckets of water over her shoulders. She immediately shrank and replied, “Al, alright, I will give it a try.”
She then looked at Father Gu and suggested, “By the way, darling, Chengrui should be back by now. Do you want to go and look for him? Maybe he has some silver in his hands.
“I’m not going. Don’t you have any ideas about him.” Father Gu went back to his study after that.
Previously, Gu Chengrui treated the two brothers’ injuries and even gave them medicine for free. It would be worth quite a lot of money, and the young couple’s small business couldn’t even earn much.
He wouldn’t be able to get anything if he went now, and more importantly, he was too embarrassed to ask for anything else.
Mrs. Liu still wanted to say something, but Gu Chengye’s gaze stopped her.
He knew well that although his father had rejected his third brother and his wife, Father Gu no longer had hostility toward them. If Mrs. Liu continued this, she would only cause trouble.
The other family, who had been listening to the commotion outside, was disappointed when they heard the final verdict.
Especially Mrs. Yao. She had wanted her brother-in-law to go over and avenge them, or at least, pester the pair of jinxes. Unfortunately, it ended with nothing.
After that, she sighed and said to Second Uncle Gu, “Big brother seems to be soft-hearted toward Chengrui now.”
Second Uncle Gu didn’t reply. After all, they couldn’t treat the young couple the same way they did in the past since they had saved their lives. Besides, they hadn’t done anything unforgivable.
“Darling, are we really going to open a shop in town?” Second Aunt asked again.
“There’s nothing bad about it. After all, we still haven’t bought a boat.
“Also, one of our family members will be giving birth soon in the new year, and there will be many places where we will need money. We can’t always rely on this little bit of money, right?”
“But…” Mrs. Yao wanted to speak but stopped. Ultimately, she thought of her brother-in-law’s reply and swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue.
Since they were all working, why not do something in which she could make the decisions? At least the money would be in her hands if they fought over it.
If it was someone else, with someone else between them, who knew if the other party would try to hide their profits?
The next day, after Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao knew they could not borrow money from others, they went to the town to rent a shop.
Gu Chengrui waited for two days and was relieved when he did not see his father.
In the blink of an eye, another five days had passed. The young couple’s new restaurant in town had been renovated, and they went to check it out.
The decorations were straightforward. They just removed the older decorations inside, brushed the main hall with white paint, and painted a group of cattle and sheep leisurely on pasture on the walls.
The second floor was even more straightforward. After the white paint was applied, pictures of their signature dishes were pasted on the wall. This was an oil-painted draft printed by Gu Chengrui. Although it was not as clear as conventional photography, the colors were bright, and they could still make customers drool.
Then, he had several paintings with plums, orchids, chrysanthemums, and bamboo. There were even lovely paintings of tools, chess, books, and others.
Finally, there was the kitchen. The pots and pans were all replaced with white stones that were easy to clean, making them look clean and tidy.
