Xiao You watched as her employer hurriedly left, no longer displaying his previous composure. Curious, she followed after him but saw nothing.
"What's wrong, boss? Did you see anyone?"
Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?
Gu An'an was a little unsure for a moment. Could it be that she was seeing things?
Actually, it was only for a moment. Could it be that Bai Qiaoyin has unparalleled lightness skills?
That's impossible.
The best way, of course, is to visit him in prison.
However, Gu An'an had no such intention.
Suppressing her confusion, she smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just misread it."
Are you seeing things?
Xiao You was puzzled. Even his own family members hadn't changed the master's expression. Who could be so gullible as to make the master look so fearful?
Isn't this person a bit too scary?
Old Lady Gu and her two sisters-in-law arrived at the wrong time; since there was no one in the shop, the matter naturally wouldn't spread.
Xiao You and Xiao Wu were instructed to simply kick these people out whenever they saw them in the future.
Considering that Gu An'an has been busy raising pigs with Magistrate Du recently, Xiao Wu asked, "What if they come over for a meal?"
Gu's Restaurant has always treated customers with utmost respect, so there's no reason for them to kick customers out, right?
"You're right, then pay first."
She was also worried that the Gu family members might try to dine and dash.
Gu An'an didn't give a kind look to the old woman who sold her son and daughter—no, she sold her daughter.
Xiao Wu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
People say that there are no bad parents in the world, but why is it that when it comes to bosses, it's completely different?
Other customers in the store can occasionally buy on credit.
But her own mother couldn't.
She had many questions but dared not ask them aloud, and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Gu An'an leave.
Xiao You took in her expression just now and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Your mother and you are a loving and filial mother, but there are parents in the world who don't love their children. Don't use your family's affairs to infer other people's situations."
Even sages say that teaching should be tailored to individual students. Doesn't Xiao Wu understand that every family has its own problems?
What an idiot.
Xiao Wu was inexplicably "scolded" and pouted, "Mind your own business."
"Yes, yes, I shouldn't have said that. You deserve to be kicked out by your employer later."
These words stung Xiao Wu, who retorted, "You're the one who got kicked out! Your whole family got kicked out!"
"My parents are dead, where did this whole family come from?" You idiot, you can't even argue properly, you'll be kicked out sooner or later.
Gu An'an was completely unaware that the two young shop assistants were bickering.
She was still thinking about the person who had flashed past in front of the shop, and was somewhat absent-minded, so she didn't hear what Jiang Mingzhu was saying.
The girl's eyes held a hint of worry. Although she said it was okay, how could it really be okay?
If a mother treats those with whom she has no blood relation this way, how much more so would she treat her own family?
She said she didn't care, but in reality, she cared the most.
Thinking about this, Jiang Mingzhu felt she had entered a dead end.
She didn't really like the Gu family, just as much as she disliked the Jiang family.
Especially after learning that Gu's aunt had once planned to sell her to the county town to work as a maid, this disgust reached an unprecedented level.
However, if her mother longed for family affection, then she could forgive her aunt's actions.
"Mother, how about my brother and I go visit our maternal grandmother later?"
Gu An'an was a little confused when she realized what was going on there. "What's so interesting about that place? What are you going there for? Be careful, or they might kidnap you and sell you into being someone's maid."
Jiang Mingzhu was puzzled when she heard this. "Then why have you been so sullen since the Gu family came to make trouble? Isn't it because of the Gu family?"
"Why are you thinking about such things all day, little girl? I was thinking about something else. The Gu family has nothing to do with us. There are plenty of people with the surname Gu in the world, what does it have to do with me? Alright, stop thinking about it."
These words relieved Jiang Mingzhu, but a new problem arose: what was her mother thinking about just now, and why did she look so unwell?
In this small family, Gu An'an consistently advocates equality among family members, which is quite democratic.
So when she had a question, Jiang Mingzhu naturally asked, "Mother, what were you thinking about just now? You didn't look well."
"I think I just saw someone I know, but I must have been too busy lately and it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. It's nothing." Gu An'an rubbed her eldest daughter's head. "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"If there are any problems, you must tell us."
"I know." Gu An'an smiled. This child is very thoughtful, which is a good habit no matter what.
It might even save someone's life if necessary.
Gu An'an did not mention seeing "Bai Qiaoyin" again, and did not say anything even after meeting Magistrate Du.
However, Master Liang told Gu An'an about a strange thing: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that there were such similar people in the world."
Gu An'an was somewhat perfunctory, "What's wrong, Master Liang? Has something unusual happened to you?"
Master Liang smiled mysteriously, "That's right, this matter is actually somewhat related to Manager Gu. Guess who I saw yesterday?"
A name immediately popped into Gu An'an's mind, "Bai Qiaoyin?"
"It's Bai Qiaoyin. Manager Gu didn't guess, did he? Don't think you were surprised; I was shocked too. Wasn't she locked up in jail? How could she have gotten out?" As he spoke, Master Liang realized something was amiss. "Manager Gu, what did you just say? You also…"
