Chapter 536: Passion of the Long Workers

No one knew that at this moment, under the window outside their house, a person was leaning against the wall in boredom, listening to the conversation between the three of them clearly.
Xue Rong knocked on the house next door and gave that person a tael of silver. He told the other party that he was here to catch the adulterer. Then, he climbed over the wall of this house and entered Madam Fang’s courtyard.
Madam Fang had just moved here not long ago and was a widow. She was also a calculative person and naturally did not have a good relationship with the woman next door, who could not wait for her to be extremely unlucky and let Xue Rong in without a word.
Xue Rong waited until Jiang Yongkang left with Madam Fang and her daughter before returning to the courtyard next door.
The woman next door said excitedly, “Young man, you’re right. That Madam Fang is indeed restless. I secretly opened the courtyard door just now and saw a man sneaking out of the courtyard.”
Xue Rong smiled at her. “There’s not enough evidence this time. It’s not to the point of catching them in the act. Please keep it a secret for me and don’t leak it. I’ll definitely teach them a lesson next time.”
“Okay, okay. Don’t worry. I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
The woman even made an oath and agreed readily. Her eyes flickered with a gloating light.
Only then did Xue Rong quietly leave the courtyard. When he returned to the tea shop at the entrance of the town, Tong Shuitao immediately welcomed him. “How did it go?”
“Did you see Jiang Yongkang leave?”
Tong Shuitao shook her head. “No.”
It made sense. This person had rushed to town without eating lunch or drinking water. He should be tired, hungry, and thirsty. It was more important to find a place to eat first.
“Then let’s go back first.”
The two of them came in a carriage and did not need much time to return to Yongfu Village.
When they reached home, Gu Yundong was taking Gu Dajiang to the workshop to see how everyone was doing.
At this time, there were already a lot more fruits. The 50 long-term workers in the workshop were all busy.
As the Gu family only had one shop, although they also cooperated with the Liu family’s restaurant, they could still meet the demand.
When she opened the shop in the prefecture capital later, there would be too few people. When the time came, she would have to recruit people.
When they saw Gu Yundong, everyone greeted her warmly. After knowing Gu Dajiang’s identity, they congratulated him and said that her family’s hardships had finally come to an end.
Gu Dajiang sighed when he saw this scene. Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, his family had gone from being a pitiful worm that was bullied by the Old Gu family to one that now had a house, land, and even long-term workers?
They walked around the workshop and Gu Yundong asked about the situation.
She learned that everything was fine. Not long ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the workshop had distributed a lot of meat dumplings for everyone to eat.
This was Gu Yundong’s idea. On some special days, there would be a festive atmosphere.
Even if there were not many things and they were not expensive, everyone would be more motivated in such an atmosphere.
Therefore, when she left Yongfu Village previously, she instructed Tong An to get someone to buy some meat dumplings on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Everyone was very happy about this. They praised the Gu family’s workshop fiercely, causing many people in the nearby villages to be envious. They asked when the Gu family’s workshop would recruit more workers.
Now that Gu Yundong was back, someone quickly took the opportunity to ask, “Boss Gu, is our workshop still hiring?”
