Chapter 496: Complicated Feelings
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It had been two days since the Xin residence had been raided. Someone was temporarily in charge of the government office, waiting for the emperor to transfer a new prefecture magistrate over.
Gu Yundong’s contract was personally given to her by Mo Xulin. Yesterday, Xue Rong had gone to the government office to ask about it. The contract had been opened early this morning, so it was not a problem for her to enter.
When the group of people came out of the Yu residence, they saw many people looking over curiously.
The crowd waited until they were gone before they began to talk.
“Where is the Yu Family going?”
“Could it be that Gu Dajiang is planning to give the Yu family some benefits on account of their past relationship?”
“What benefits? Don’t tell me they’re going to help the Yu family move out of here? Stop joking.”
“That’s impossible. The Yu family doesn’t have any luggage. How can they move out? I think they’ll at most treat the Yu family to a meal at a big restaurant.”
“No way. The Yu family took Gu Dajiang in for a few months, but he’s repaying them with just one meal? That’s too stingy.”
“That’s why Gu Dajiang is an ingrate.”
“Cough, cough.” Suddenly, a sudden cough sounded from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned around and saw Grandpa Zhang standing behind them with an unfathomable expression. He sneered at these people who were making sarcastic remarks. “Alright, why are you so troublesome? How can Brother Yu not know what kind of person Gu Dajiang is? Go do what you need to do.”
“Hey, Old Zhang, you were in the Yu family just now, right? What did they say? Tell us.”
“What did they say?” Grandpa Zhang said impatiently. “How would I know? Disperse, disperse.”
With that, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back. However, there was a sly smile on his face.
Hmph, he wasn’t going to tell these people that the Yu Family was about to own a shop. What if they went to fawn on Old Yu later?
When he was hired to work and earn money, he would show off in front of these people. Just thinking about it made him happy.
They must have gone to look at the shop, right? Sigh, he really wanted to follow them to take a look.
Uncle Yu, who was being gossiped about, felt his ears itch and could not help but reach out to rub them.
The Yu Family was a little far away from the shop. When they reached the entrance of the alley, everyone still got into the carriage.
By the time they reached the shop, it was already past noon.
Gu Yundong brought them to a nearby restaurant for a meal before walking towards the shop.
Only when they stood at the entrance of the shop did the Yu family look ahead in shock.
This, this was the shop that the Gu family was talking about?
Such a big shop would be a grocery store?
This was especially shocking for Yu Jin. He had been working in the grocery store for more than half a year and more or less knew some things.
This was the busiest street in the entire Wanqing Prefecture.
This shop was at least twice the size of the one he stayed in.
Most importantly, this used to be the silk shop of the Xin family. It was the place where the relative of the shopkeeper who ran to snatch his job this morning had worked.
He never expected that the person who had arrogantly chased him out and told him to go back and do manual labor would now swap places with him.
At this moment, Yu Jin’s feelings were exceptionally… complicated.
What made him feel even more complicated was that he knew very well that with such a shop in such a place, no matter what business he opened, as long as he did not seek death, he would not lose out even if he did not have experience.
Yu Jin could not help but look at Gu Yundong, who seemed to sense his gaze and met his hesitant expression. She guessed what he wanted to say and immediately blinked at him and shushed him.
