Chapter 635: The Shop Will Close Sooner or Later
Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that there were a few strangers in the courtyard, the woman was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Changshun and his sister in confusion.
Su Changshun quickly went forward to take the basket from her hand. Inside the basket were clothes. They were heavy, and the woman’s palm had a mark.
When Su Changshun saw this, he felt a little sad. However, he quickly smiled and placed the basket on the steps at the side. He said to the woman, “Mother, you’re back. This is Uncle Zheng. You’ve seen him before. This is Miss Gu and Master Shao. Miss Gu is opening a shop in the prefectural city and asked me to be a shop assistant. I have a job now. Mother, you don’t have to wash clothes for others in the future.”
Ever since Su Changshun was labeled as a thief, the Su family’s life had become difficult.
Su Changshun went out every day to find manual labor. Su Qing did some embroidery work at home, so Mother Su went to collect some clothes to wash. It was better in the summer. In the winter, the water was cold, and Mother Su’s hands were often swollen like steamed buns. It was very tiring.
Even so, she would not be able to earn much.
Now that Su Changshun had a proper and stable job, his mother did not have to work so hard.
When Mother Su heard that this stranger was the boss who was hiring her son, she immediately became excited. She hurriedly wiped her hands and invited Gu Yundong in. “Boss Gu, don’t stand there. Come in and sit. It’s almost noon. Everyone, have lunch here. I’ll go buy groceries now. It’ll be quick.”
She turned around and was about to leave when Gu Yundong quickly stopped her. “Aunt, you don’t have to. I still have something on. I’m leaving now.”
“It’s rare for you to come here. How can you leave without eating?”
“There’s really no need.” Zheng Gang also said, “Sister-in-law Su, rest for a while. In two days, ask Changshun to look for me at Dahui Road. We’ll leave first.”
Shao Qingyuan nodded and opened the courtyard door first, letting Yundong leave before going out.
When Gu Yundong went out, she saw the woman next door looking over. When Gu Yundong looked back, she immediately retracted her head.
Only after the three of them had left did the woman come out. She ran to the Su family’s door and knocked.
Su Qing came over to open the door. When she saw her, she closed the door without a word.
The woman almost bumped her nose. “You, you little b*tch. Are you feeling good now that you have a job? Just you wait. Let’s see how long your brother can do this job. Hmph.”
After saying that, he even spat on the ground. “He’s just a small shop assistant. He thinks he’s a big shot. Who knows when that small shop will close down.”
She cursed and went back. Someone beside her asked curiously what was going on.
The woman added fuel to the fire and told him not to go to that shop to buy things. To be able to hire a thief as a shop assistant, this stranger definitely did not do any legitimate business.
However, when someone asked her what the shop was for and where it was, the woman could not answer for a moment.
Mother Su asked the same question.
Su Changshun touched his head and said in embarrassment, “I didn’t ask in detail. It seems to be a food business. But Uncle Zheng recommended it, so it definitely won’t be bad. Mother, don’t worry. It’s just that the place is a little far. It’s on Dahui Road. I might be late coming home in the future.”
Mother Su waved her hand. “It’s not a big deal. Later, you can bring me there so that I’ll know where it is. I can even send you lunch. The shop is small, but it’s not a big deal. Work hard. It’s better than carrying bags for others..” After a pause, she suddenly asked, “I heard that Young Master Shao seems to call Miss Gu… Yundong?”
