Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

During their meal, Li Hua turned to Gu Zi with a question about the name of their shop in town. Gu Zi had already given it some thought. “Let’s call it ‘Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop’ she suggested. “It’s simple and straightforward. It’s

Sister Hua’s gourmet food. What do you think?”

Li Hua repeated the name to herself, “Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop, Sister Hua’s gourmet food. Yes, it sounds quite good. I think it’s acceptable.”

After all, Gu Zi was an intellectual and a gourmet connoisseur. Li Hua believed that any name Gu Zi came up with would be superior to their random musings. She approved of it.

Gu Zi laughed, “If the main proprietor agrees, then there’s no problem. Let’s call it Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop!”

Once Gu Zi finished speaking, Su Li stood up and applauded in support. Under his leadership, everyone clapped for Gu Zi and Li Hua. While Li Hua was indeed the main proprietor, the shop wouldn’t have been so easy to establish without the help of Gu Zi and Su Shen.

The Lin family was not the type to forget a good deed. Even if it was their own daughter or son-in-law, they remembered their kindness. They didn’t take such goodness for granted and believed they should reciprocate with more positive feedback to honor the help they received from their children.

After the meal, Su Shen and Lin Cheng returned to the pig farm. Su Bing and Su Li, carrying baskets on their backs, left the house intending to gather some firewood for home. Although they had enough firewood to last the winter, this season was abundant with dry branches and quality firewood. The rural children couldn’t resist the joy of collecting firewood, which was also a great recreational activity. Along the way, they could even pick some wild fruits to eat.

Left at home were Gu Zi and Lele, along with Mother Lin and Li Hua. At that moment, Li Hua was playing with Lele in the living room. Li Hua did not have a child of her own yet, but she desired one. Therefore, she was particularly interested in children of Lele’s age and always enjoyed playing with Lele whenever she visited.

Mother Lin was in the kitchen helping Gu Zi clean up. While Gu Zi swept the floor, Mother Lin washed the dishes, occasionally turning around to look at Gu Zi as if she had something to say. Gu Zi noticed this but decided to wait for her to speak up. After they finished their chores in the kitchen, Mother Lin finally broke the silence. “Little Zi, do you remember Aunt Yang?”

Gu Zi nodded. After Aunt Yang was driven out by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, she returned to her old house in Little Lin Village. Gu Zi had heard some stories, but she wasn’t entirely clear about the details. “I remember,” she replied. “Why are you suddenly mentioning Aunt Yang, Mom?”

Upon hearing Gu Zi’s question, Mother Lin shook her head and sighed. She gently guided her daughter to sit down on the chair in the dining room. “Aunt Yang and I have been old friends for many years,” she began. “She has helped me a lot in the past when I was in difficult times. Now that she is going through these things, it pains me to see her suffer. Gu Zi, I want to invite Aunt Yang to help us. We need more hands to run the restaurant, and Aunt Yang also needs a job.”

Gu Zi pondered for a moment before responding. “We need to serve breakfast and stewed meat in the restaurant, so we indeed need more hands. Aunt Yang is a good person, but I worry that if we invite her to work, her daughter-in-law might cause trouble.”

Gu Zi had not had much interaction with Mrs. Wang, but she could tell what kind of person she was at first glance. She was the typical type who couldn’t stand to see others doing well, and she lacked a proper moral compass. She was a particularly ungrateful woman.

Gu Zi did not want to have too much to do with such a person. It would only invite trouble and disturb her peace.

Moreover, the fact that Aunt Yang’s son could marry such a woman indicated that he was probably not a good person himself.

Except for Aunt Yang and her daughter who was forced to leave, the rest of the family should be kept at a distance. However, it was clear that if Aunt Yang was employed in the restaurant, Mrs. Wang would undoubtedly cause trouble.

Mother Lin understood her daughter’s concerns. Mrs. Wang was not a good person, just like the rest of Aunt Yang’s family. Getting involved with them would bring nothing good. She had bullied Aunt Yang and her daughter mercilessly. In reality, it was Aunt Yang’s spineless son who was to blame.

Even if Mrs. Wang was a terrible person, she wouldn’t dare to bully her mother-in-law and sister-in-law without her husband’s consent.

Mother Lin said, “What you said is true, but I have an unreasonable request, daughter. Can you help Aunt Yang? I know you have a way.”

Gu Zi remembered that she had heard from her sister-in-law before that Aunt Yang had indeed helped her mother a lot. From her mother’s perspective, she should indeed help Aunt Yang in her current situation..
