Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhu affectionately pulled Gu An'an's hand, "Thank you, Mother."

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Jiang Mingzhu gained a lot from chatting with the laborers this time. On the way back, the girl simply told Gu An'an everything she had heard, trying to glean some information from Gu An'an's words.

The mother and daughter chatted so enthusiastically that when they returned to the shop, they didn't notice the slightly tense atmosphere, nor did they see the person sitting there whose face had long since lost patience.

When Gu's mother saw that her daughter didn't even glance at her after entering, she became even angrier and wanted to rush up to Gu An'an and teach this disrespectful person a lesson.

However, considering the girl's temper, she decided to hold back for the time being. "What, you don't even recognize your own mother after doing a little business?"

The slightly familiar tone brought Gu An'an back to her senses, and when she turned her head, she saw her mother sitting there.

Liu Jiuniang quickly stepped forward, her face full of shame, "I shouldn't have come over like this..."

She had heard rumors that Gu An'an's relationship with her family wasn't very good, otherwise she wouldn't have heard Gu An'an mention going back to her family home.

But since this was her own mother, and someone else's, she didn't dare to send her away. She could only serve tea and food and let her sit there and wait.

I originally thought that Xiao Gu wouldn't come back, and that Old Lady Gu would leave on her own before he even arrived.

Who would have thought...

Gu An'an patted Liu Jiuniang on the shoulder, "It's okay, you can go and do your work."

Liu Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then if anything happens, just call me."

She went to the kitchen to get busy.

Old Mrs. Gu looked displeased upon hearing this. "Why did you choose someone like this to help you? Your eldest and second sisters-in-law are family members, and they are efficient at their work. Have them come over to help you later."

His first words were to interfere in the personnel management of Gu's Food Shop.
