Chapter 2381 My Brother-in-Law
Shu Yu looked at Shu Quan as he walked into the manor, a look of surprise flashing across her face. "You...you're here to apply for a job as a waiter too?"
No, she refused.
Although Shu Quan was literate and had received an elite education, his character was questionable, and he was not a diligent person.
Even though they had collaborated before, it was just a collaboration where everyone got what they wanted, and she still didn't have a good impression of Shu Quan.
However, Shu Quan's expression became even stranger. He was going to work as a shop assistant in her shop? What a joke!
Having endured the beatings of the past few years, Shu Quan has indeed lost his arrogant attitude. He would be more than willing, even happy, to work as a laborer, as it's better than reclaiming wasteland in Zhengdao Village.
But Shu Yu was different; she used to be the third daughter of the Shu family, born out of wedlock. As the legitimate son of the second branch of the family, even though he had no direct conflicts with her, he still didn't take these half-sisters seriously.
This identity allows Shu Quan to distance himself as far away from Shu Yu as he wants.
Therefore, as soon as Shu Yu asked the question, he immediately shook his head and said, "No."
Seeing his quick refusal, Shu Yu's lips twitched. "Then what are you doing here?"
Shu Quan paused for a moment, then took out a silver note from his sleeve. "This is the silver note you gave us some time ago. Here you go."
Shu Yu was somewhat surprised. Although it was just an act at the time, and Meng Yunzheng had Xia Yan slip them ten taels of silver, it was indeed a way of repaying him for the secret correspondence.
She thought the Shu family had already used the money, and even if they hadn't used it all, surely the ten-tael silver note wouldn't still be intact.
Looking at the silver notes in front of her, Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. "I don't feel at ease accepting this silver."
Shu Quan pursed his lips. "I do have something to ask of you."
The word "beg" is used very subtly. How could Shu Quan say "beg" to her face?
Shu Quan's expression changed, and he took a deep breath. "I know you didn't have a good time in the Shu family, so you don't want to have any more contact with us. This is the last time, consider it... a reward for reminding you that Shu Feng captured the Abbot of Dongqing Temple."
Shu Yu laughed and said, "You wrote a letter to remind us, wasn't it so that you yourselves could get out of your current predicament? Besides, you yourself aren't quite sure why Shu Feng did this, are you?"
“However, the abbot of Dongqing Temple is of great importance, and I can find other channels to reach the Emperor. I believe that if the Emperor knows about the abbot of Dongqing Temple, he will not sit idly by.”
Shu Yu chuckled. That's what she said, but Shu Quan himself wasn't sure if other channels were reliable.
Regardless, the information he provided was genuine, and Shu Yu didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer.
So she simply leaned back in her chair and said, "Okay, then tell me what you want, and I'll think about it."
Shu Quan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He knew that what he had said wasn't very confident. But the fact that Shu Yu was willing to listen was still an opportunity.
“I know you’re hiring a shop assistant at the provincial government’s store, and I’d like to recommend someone to you.”
Shu Yu paused in her tea-drinking motion, realizing that the matter was still about the waiter.
She knew it! At this critical juncture, what important business could Shu Quan possibly have to come knocking on her door?
Who would you like to recommend?
"Gu Xinghua".
Shu Yu felt the name sounded familiar for some reason. "He is..."
Shu Quan said, "He is A Zhao's man, my brother-in-law."
