Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Borrowing Your Auspicious Words
Mrs. Chu had been on edge ever since she returned from the town.
Gu Jianghai was worried, too.
Having heard what Su Yunjin had to say, Mrs. Chu and her husband Gu Jianghai exchanged a glance, both finding her point reasonable, and decided not to dwell on the matter any longer.
Gu Jianghai was furious.
With Gu Hengniang causing such a scene today, Gu Jianghai had no intention of recognizing Gu Hengniang as his sister anymore. Strangers wouldn’t have even dreamt of making a scene in their shop; yet Gu Hengniang, his own sister, had done just that, ruining the business he and his wife worked so hard to keep running.
Furthermore, Gu Hengniang’s request to borrow money infuriated both Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai. They slaved away for a whole month and could barely make fifty silver coins, yet Gu Hengniang had the audacity to ask him and his wife for fifty silver to buy Wan Da’an a birthday present?
In the past, Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu couldn’t even afford to eat at on their own birthdays. Now that they could, the most they would spend was a few dozen copper coins for a good al.
Gu Hengniang had the nerve to ask for fifty silver to buy a jade pendant? Gu Jianghai had no spare money to buy Wan Da’an a jade pendant for her, and even if he did, he wouldn’t.
He and his wife were working hard to save for their daughter Aluo’s dowry, not to buy jade pendants for Gu Hengniang to gift to Wan Da’an.
“Brother, sister-in-law, what Second Sister did this ti is unforgivable. From now on, I, Gu Jianghai, will act as if I never had such a sister,” Gu Jianghai declared, his nature straightforward, his senses of love and hate clear. Gu Hengniang had truly hurt him today, and he was done with her.
Gu Ya had already cut ties with Gu Hengniang today, and Gu Jianghai had no intention of acknowledging such a toxic sister ever again. Su Yunjin wholeheartedly agreed; the less they had to do with soone like Gu Hengniang, the better.
Who knows what other trouble she could stir up!
Besides expressing their indignation about Gu Hengniang, Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai had co to Su Yunjin’s ho today also to congratulate her and Gu Ya on the reopening of Zuixiang Restaurant tomorrow.
“Brother, sister-in-law, your distillery is finally reopening. We are here to congratulate you in advance,” they said, referring to the opening of Zuixiang Restaurant.
Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu were genuinely happy for Gu Ya and Su Yunjin.
Gu Jianghai said with a smile, “Brother, the opening of your distillery tomorrow is bound to bring you good business.” News of Zuixiang Restaurant’s reopening had already spread far and wide.
These past few days, while doing business, Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai had overheard custors in their shop talking about the event, saying that they planned to buy wine and dine at the reopening of Zuixiang Restaurant.
People loved Su Yunjin’s fruit wine, once tasted, they were all fond of it. Zuixiang Restaurant had been closed for several months, and many were eager to purchase their wine.
During their promotion, they had claid that this batch of fruit wine would be even more delicious than before, making everyone curious if it was truly better than the past offerings.
Everyone wanted to try it the next day.
Gu Jianghai, saying he was sure the opening of Zuixiang Restaurant tomorrow would be a success, led Gu Ya to also respond with a smile, “Fifth brother, I hope your words prove lucky.”
The two brothers laughed heartily together.
Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai left before it got dark, and after Su Yunjin had taken a bath, she lay atop Gu Ya, chatting with him.
“My lord, Zuixiang Restaurant reopens tomorrow. It feels sowhat surreal!”
