Chapter 2383 You've Been Deceived by Him

“I understand, I can give him a chance. But I need to meet him in person. I’m not doing charity work, so I won’t accept him if he’s not a good fit.”

Shu Quan's eyes lit up slightly. "It's definitely suitable. That kid couldn't read before, but after marrying A Zhao, he learned a lot of characters. It would be absolutely beneficial for you to have him as a shop assistant in your store."

Shu Yu: "Why don't you call them over first?"

“Alright.” Shu Quan nodded repeatedly, then looked at the silver notes on the table, “Then this money…”

"What, you want to take it back?"

Shu Quan instantly snapped out of his thoughts and left without saying a word.

As soon as he left, Yingxi asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you really going to recruit people from the Shu family?"

“I realized I misjudged Shu Quan. He’s actually more insightful and shrewd than Shu Feng. Before, I thought he was a cold-blooded person because of the way he and his father had fallen out. But he’s very good to his mother and his sister. Before he left, he was even thinking about finding a backer for his sister.”

Does Shu Quan lack money? Yes, he does. Even if they are restored to their original place of residence, they will have to travel back to their hometown, which will cost a lot. These ten taels of silver are enough for the family's expenses for two years, and it will also be enough for them to live a little better on their way back.

But he came back.

If Gu Xinghua wants to be a shop assistant, can't he apply for the job himself? Sure, if Shu Yu really likes him, she will still hire him.

But Shu Quan insisted on coming to ask for this opportunity himself. He also wanted to tell the Gu family before the Shu family left that Shu Yu had a good relationship with them. Even if the Shu family left, the Gu family could not bully the fourth daughter. This job was obtained through Shu Quan, and the Gu family should be grateful.

Shu Yu clicked her tongue. "No wonder he was raised by the Shu family. He always likes to do things in a roundabout and scheming way. I hope that Gu Xinghua is really as he says, otherwise, there's nothing I can do."

Just then, Aunt Fang came in carrying a bowl of white fungus soup. "Ayu, Auntie made you something to eat. Come and try it."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Fang placed the bowl on the table. "I just saw Shu Quan from the Shu family go out. Did he come looking for you? Is he trying to make things difficult for you again?" She hadn't forgotten how they had extorted ten taels of silver from Shu Yu earlier by using the excuse that the Sixth Miss hadn't been able to offer incense to her father.

Thinking of money, Aunt Fang saw the silver notes on the table.

Hmm? That's about ten taels.

Shu Yu rested her fingers on the banknote. Seeing Aunt Fang looking over, she said while drinking her white fungus soup, "Shu Quan came to return this banknote and also to put in a good word for his brother-in-law."

She explained Shu Quan's purpose for coming, but to her surprise, Aunt Fang's expression turned strange after hearing it. She suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Ayu, you've been fooled by him. I knew he wasn't a good person."

Shu Yu was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"

"Shu Quan said Gu Xinghua is a decent-looking person? How is he decent-looking? He's extremely ugly."

Shu Yu, "..."

Is this really necessary?

But Aunt Fang would never lie to her, and Shu Quan's taste is not wrong either. Besides, Shu Zhao probably wouldn't want to marry an old and ugly man, right?

"It's alright, I had Shu Quan call them over. If they really are lying to me, I'll kick them out later."

Aunt Fang nodded repeatedly, went to find a broom, and prepared for battle.

Shu Yu was both amused and exasperated, and silently finished her white fungus soup.

After she had digested her food a little, footsteps finally came from outside the door.
