There was a misunderstanding.

Gu An'an just wanted to tell Jiang Yong'an not to tell the children about remarrying for the time being. She would talk to the children about it later to avoid upsetting them.

Little did she know that Jiang Yong'an was right behind her, and when she turned around, he threw himself into her arms.

but……

“If you’re sick, don’t come to work. You’ll just infect the customers.” Gu An’an broke free from her grasp. “You’re so old, why are you catching a cold? Go to Doctor Tian and get some medicine. Today won’t count as you being absent. Consider it a congratulatory gift from me.”

In any case, Jiang Yong'an is a decent person who didn't bully others, so giving her the divorce papers was quite generous.

Gu An'an has always been grateful and plans to use a day's wages as a congratulatory gift for her ex-husband's remarriage.

Although the gift was small, it carried deep sentiment.

Jiang Yong'an chuckled upon hearing this, "Then I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I'll treat you to a drink sometime."

He hadn't even planned to host a housewarming party after moving into his new house, but he already received congratulatory gifts.

Both out of courtesy and reason, Gu An'an should be invited to the banquet.

For a moment, Gu An'an thought this person was brainless.

Who invites their ex-wife to the wedding and banquet when they remarry?

Well, Gu An'an didn't say anything more and turned to go into the shop to get busy.

She went to the incense shop next door, intending to ask Boss Hong to write a job advertisement for her, since Jiang Yong'an was going to remarry and would not be able to work in his shop anymore.

It's better to find someone more reliable as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Boss Hong was packing his things.

"Madam Gu, you've come at the right time. My great-uncle passed away and left behind some assets, which he specifically named for me to inherit. I was thinking that Jiangnan is better than our Anping County, and I was just planning to transfer the small shop. I wonder if Madam Gu has any plans to take it over?"

This made Gu An'an a little envious. "Why don't I have such a great-uncle?"

She also wants to inherit a large fortune and live a life of leisure.

Mr. Hong gave an embarrassed smile, and Gu An'an quickly replied with a laugh, "I was just joking, just kidding. I wonder how much Mr. Hong is planning to sell this shop for?"

After a moment's thought, Boss Hong said, "How about one hundred and fifty taels of silver?"

Gu An'an bought the shop for eighty taels of silver, which is naturally not the market price.

The previous shop was considered unlucky; something always happened there.

Since Gu An'an bought it, nothing unexpected has ever happened.

Eighty taels is far below the market price, but one hundred and fifty taels isn't bad either...

"One hundred and twenty taels, that's the lowest I can go." Boss Hong gritted his teeth. "Madam Gu, my shop is much bigger than yours. Once we knock down the wall, it will be much more spacious. One hundred and twenty taels of silver is definitely not a bad deal."

Gu An'an knew, of course. She hesitated just now because she thought 150 taels was a bit too little. She didn't expect Boss Hong to take the initiative to lower the price again.

"Is Mr. Hong sure he doesn't have anything he can't say?"

This question made Boss Hong's expression turn serious. "Why would Madam Gu say such a thing?"

The chubby boss's palms were sweaty. "I've eaten here quite often, Madam Gu, so it's a bit hard to leave now that I'm going to Jiangnan. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat here again."

It would be wonderful if your homemade food was appreciated by diners.

Gu An'an laughed, "What's so difficult about this? I'll just tell Boss Hong the recipe later. It'll be 120 taels of silver. Consider it a bargain for me."

However, she did mention the recipe, so Boss Hong didn't suffer too much of a loss.

Hearing this, Boss Hong breathed a sigh of relief. "Mrs. Gu is such a kind person, no wonder."

"No wonder what?"

This question made a few beads of sweat appear on Boss Hong's forehead. "No wonder the business is so good. If this business grows bigger in the future, maybe we'll open a shop in Jiangnan."

Businessmen always have a way of talking, and before long Gu An'an felt like she had become the richest man in the Great Ye Dynasty.

She originally came to ask Boss Hong to write a job advertisement, but unexpectedly, after chatting for a few minutes, the two went to the government office to handle the land deed and house deed procedures.

The transaction was completed quickly, with money exchanged for goods.

As Gu An'an came out of the yamen, she happened to see Sister-in-law Jiang.

The usually composed eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family was currently asking the other constables, "Have you seen my husband?"

"No, no."

Someone pushed her, and Jiang Da Sao lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gu An'an took a step forward, but stopped after only one step.

She originally intended to leave, pretending not to see, but unexpectedly, Boss Hong, who was a few steps slower than her, came out of the yamen and said, "Madam Gu, I still have some things in my shop. I'll pack them up now, and you can move in tomorrow."

These words, spoken by Gu Niangzi, reached the ears of Jiang Dasao, who was turning to leave.

Out of habit, Sister-in-law Jiang turned around and saw Gu An'an standing there, talking to someone.

The most mischievous and scheming sister-in-law, now dressed in fine cotton clothes, actually looked graceful and quite attractive.

The man standing next to her was saying something, with a smile on his face, looking extremely ingratiating.

In that instant, Sister-in-law Jiang felt something burning in her heart.

It wasn't until she realized what it was that she was jealous.

Yes, she was jealous of Gu An'an.

She's so much younger than me and so capable, how could I not be jealous?

In the past, she could use her seniority as the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family to suppress her, but now she doesn't have that face anymore.
