Chapter 221 Always Believe
Old Mrs. Gu just felt that she had nothing to do.
When she was in Guang'an County, she could still help her family in the braised food shop. Now that they have opened a braised food workshop, her family means to hire other people to do the work. Not only do they not need her help, but they also specially find someone to serve her. Grandma Gu is so bored that she feels like mushrooms are growing on her head.
She is not the kind of old lady who is used to a life of luxury. If she is left with nothing to do, she will feel uncomfortable all over.
"Are you serious? Do you really think I can help? If you really say that, then I, an old lady, will take it seriously." Old Lady Gu said to Li Yaren.
Li Yaren was stunned when he heard this, and quickly said, "Look at what you said, old man. I dare not fool you even if I want to fool anyone else. But you are the mother of the Juren master, are you really willing to help me?"
Although the Juren masters are not Jinshi yet, they are already the upper class of society. The brokers are considered the lower nine classes, and normally they would not mix with them.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Gu hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Yuniang beside her.
Zhang Yunniang smiled and said, "Mom, if you like it, go. If you are unhappy, come back. My husband and I will not stop you."
Old Mrs. Gu's mouth corners immediately twisted with smile, as people get older, they are most afraid of becoming useless. Now not talking about this makes her feel useful, and she can also earn some money to supplement the family income.
But after returning home, when Old Mrs. Gu talked about this matter with Gu Mingda at the dinner table, she was still nervous, afraid that her son would not agree, and also afraid that this matter would embarrass her son.
Gu Mingda's reaction was similar to Zhang Yunniang's: "Mom, you have worked hard for this family for most of your life. Now you just need to do what you want."
Old Lady Gu nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, second son. I will not tell anyone that I am the mother of a juren when I am working outside."
Gu Mingda didn't care about these things and said, "It's not like the wife of a juren can't work. You earn money based on your ability, and there's nothing shameful about it. But you must not tire yourself out."
Old Mrs. Gu felt happy when she heard this, but she still made up her mind to keep her mouth shut, for fear that others would find out and laugh at Gu Mingda.
"Don't worry, Lao Er. Li Yaren also said that what I have to do is to help people bargain. I will only take action when I encounter a tough situation. I usually stay at home. It's not tiring."
After Niuniu heard what the adults had said, she asked, "Grandma, when will you start working? Can you take me with you? I want to see the world."
When Mrs. Gu saw that even the children at home did not mind that her work was embarrassing, she felt very happy.
"Not yet. You have to wait until grandma is firmly on her feet before I can take you to see the world. Otherwise, the boss will be unhappy." said Grandma Gu.
Niu Niu didn't continue to dwell on this matter. After dinner, the little girl went into the backyard accompanied by Zhang Yunniang.
Shuying is packing the prepared snacks.
At Niu Niu's request, she made four portions of snacks.
But Niu Niu noticed at a glance that one of the portions was particularly large, and the oil paper bag was stuffed full.
Shuying also pulled Niuniu, pointed at the largest portion, and said, "Princess, I'll keep the largest portion for you to eat slowly. If you've finished, tell me and I'll make more for you."
"You can keep the rest of the small portion as a reward."
The "reward" Shuying was referring to was not someone else, but Gu Yan, Gu Zhao and the greedy Shen Changfeng.
Niu Niu, however, had a stern face and opened the packages.
"I don't want to be the only one, we are all the same." Although Niu Niu is young and greedy, she is not the type to eat alone.
Seeing that she was about to do it herself, Shuying quickly stopped her and said, "Okay, okay, Miss Third, you take a break. I'll redistribute it."
As Shuying repacked the food, she kept muttering, "Your personality hasn't changed at all over the years..."
Zhang Yunniang had always been very curious about the girl Shuying mentioned, so she asked, "What kind of person is your master?"
When Shuying heard this, she stopped packing the snacks and looked directly at Zhang Yuniang with pure and sincere admiration in her eyes.
"Miss San is as warm as the sun. She is not the sun in summer, but the warm sun in winter. She truly cares about each and every one of us..."
"The Queen is not only the master of the harem, but also the umbrella of the concubines. She gently protects everyone and pities the poor and the weak..."
"I have never seen a girl more lovely than the princess. She is as kind as a fairy from heaven..."
Zhang Yuniang listened to Shuying's endless praises. Because the crazy girl's mind was confused, her words were incoherent. If someone who didn't know the truth heard it, they would think that she was praising three people.
Shuying's mouth became dry after talking for a while, and she finally stopped.
Although they are all good words, there is actually no specific deeds. It doesn't even mention whose lady, queen, or princess these three characters are.
"What's the third young lady's last name?" Zhang Yuniang asked.
Shuying said casually, "What other surname can she have? Our young lady is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She brought good luck to the Duke's Mansion since she was born. She is the most glorious daughter of the Duke's Mansion."
Zhang Yunniang didn't know why, but her heart suddenly tightened and she asked, "Which Duke's Mansion?"
Shuying opened her mouth to answer, but before she could say anything, she covered her head and cried out in pain.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Yunniang did not ask any more questions. She quickly helped the person to the side and asked, "Does it hurt a lot? I'll ask someone to call a doctor for you right away."
Shuying held her back and said, "It's okay, Madam Jiu. I just have an old illness. I'll be fine after a rest."
Zhang Yuniang immediately asked her to rest.
But Shuying struggled to get up, still saying, "I haven't finished my work yet. The princess is waiting for me to work."
Shuying only had the job of packing snacks, so Zhang Yunniang held her down and said, "I'll do it, you take a rest."
Shuying didn't insist anymore and just sat on the chair, her eyes always fixed on Niu Niu.
Niuniu walked over briskly and asked, "Sister Shuying, do you have something to ask me?"
Shuying moved closer to Niuniu and said in a low voice, "Miss San, you have to be careful of that woman. She doesn't even know your identity. She must have been sent by the bad guys!"
The woman Shuying was referring to was not someone else, but Zhang Yuniang.
But as soon as Niu Niu left the backyard, she told Zhang Yunniang about this.
Zhang Yunniang didn't expect that she would be labeled a "bad person" because of her excessive curiosity, and she felt like crying but had no tears.
"My dear, why aren't you afraid that what Shuying said is true?" Zhang Yunniang asked with a smile.
Niu Niu raised her head, her tender little face was like a flower about to bloom, and her pair of bright big eyes were like the twinkling stars in the sky.
"I don't care what she says. I will always believe in my mother."
