My body felt like it was falling apart, spreading from the soles of my feet upwards. I felt sore, swollen, and painful all over, and it hurt so much when I moved.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Zhizhou returned to the room and saw her lying on the bed, looking a little wilted, so he immediately went over to her.
"Don't move, it hurts!"
When he touched her, Gu Qing grimaced in pain.
Seeing this, Chen Zhizhou sighed deeply, and a deep heartache appeared in his eyes.
"Take a good rest at home for the next two days!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently rubbed her tense muscles.
"It hurts, be gentle!"
Gu Qing wanted to step back in pain, but was firmly held by Chen Zhizhou and had no way to escape.
"I didn't try very hard at all."
Although Chen Zhizhou said this, he still reduced his strength to the minimum out of concern.
Gu Qing gritted his teeth and endured it silently. It was just painful at first, but in the end it felt a bit good.
"Do you have any other intentions in keeping that boy here today?"
Chen Zhizhou endured it for a whole day and now he can finally ask.
Gu Qing felt slightly tired.
She half-closed her eyes and answered weakly, "I always feel that there is something wrong with him. I don't know if it's my illusion."
If it is really their own illusion, that would be the best. If not, it would be a good thing for them to be alert as soon as possible.
Moreover, if he really has problems, keeping him by their side will allow them to monitor him at all times and keep track of his movements. Otherwise, if he is in the dark, they will be unable to defend themselves.
Gu Qing didn't say these words, but Chen Zhizhou understood them immediately.
"I see!"
He nodded, his dark eyes darkened, and his voice was filled with coldness, "In that case, let my secret guards keep an eye on him!"
"It's a fox. No matter how well it hides, it will eventually reveal its true colors."
He actually wanted to see who was behind Situ Sheng this time!
Gu Qing did not refute his words.
She didn't have any suitable person to keep an eye on Situ Sheng at the moment, so Chen Zhizhou took the initiative to take on this matter, which saved her a lot of trouble.
…
The next day.
Gu Qing came to Mr. Huang's gate carrying a bunch of vegetables and fresh meat.
The dog was sweeping the yard with a broom. When he saw Gu Qing out of the corner of his eye, he immediately showed an excited expression. After greeting her, he immediately ran inside excitedly.
While running, he shouted, "Master, Sister Gu Qing is here!"
"What the hell are you yelling about? I heard it a long time ago!"
Old Huang popped his head out from the herb garden, his face stern, and he pretended to be angry and scolded.
However, the dog already knew his temper and was not very scared. It just stopped where it was and stuck out its tongue awkwardly.
Old Huang patted the dirt off his hands, rubbed it on his body casually twice, and then walked out.
"Qing girl, your shop is busy as hell. If you don't take care of it, how can you have time to come and see me?"
His voice was a little hoarse.
It must be because I used my voice too much yesterday.
Gu Qing waved the thing in his hand towards him with a somewhat flattering tone.
"You worked so hard yesterday, so I wanted to reward you!"
"I hear your voice is hoarse. I once learned a folk remedy that works really well when you soak it in water. I'll make it for you right away and stew a few pork elbows in fragrant sauce. What do you think?"
Old Huang hummed, but his tone was obviously much softer, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Gu Qing didn't say any more nonsense and went straight into the kitchen.
"Sister Gu Qing, do you need my help?"
Gou Zi followed in and asked Gu Qing.
"Whether it's washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, or cooking, I can do it all. My mother often praises the food I cook for being delicious."
Children from poor families have to grow up early.
If he were in a wealthy family, a child of Gouzi's age would most likely be studying in a private school, being pampered and protected like the apple of the eye at home. How could he have the chance to enter the kitchen?
Gu Qing sighed in his heart, but Gou Zi didn't feel anything at all. Instead, his face was full of pride.
Seeing his expression, Gu Qing suddenly felt that he was being too extreme in his view of the matter.
Although Gou Zi lives in poverty, his parents' love for him is real. He also has a good attitude and knows how to be content.
There are countless dirty and disgusting things happening in those wealthy families. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life.
Just like in his previous life, he was betrayed by his closest people and was kept in the dark until he knew the truth before his death.
So it is difficult to judge between luck and misfortune!
Gu Qing looked at him and praised him sincerely, but also politely declined his help.
"Today, I'll show you my cooking skills. Just sit back and wait for dinner. Next time, I'll let you taste your cooking skills."
The dog felt a little embarrassed by her praise, his little face turned red, and he ran out shyly.
Gu Qing was amused by him, and at the same time rolled up his sleeves, suppressed his smile, and began to concentrate on preparing the ingredients.
…
In the shop.
Qiu Rong was so busy that she had almost no time to rest. The training she had received a few days ago was not in vain. Now she could deal with all kinds of customers with ease and handle things well.
"You, what are you doing standing here like an idiot? Go and greet the guests."
She caught a glimpse of Situ Sheng out of the corner of her eye and saw that he had been standing at the door all morning, motionless, and couldn't say a word to any guests. She couldn't help but sigh.
I really don’t know what the lady is thinking. What can be done by keeping such a person?
Qiu Rong did not make things difficult for Situ Sheng, but instead found the most capable clerk in the store and asked him to guide him.
"You promised the lady yesterday that you must learn from him well, otherwise you will be kicked out."
Looking at Situ Sheng's small body, Qiu Rong couldn't bear it after all, and gave him a few more instructions.
Situ Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent, but he followed the man out very tactfully, taking note of his actions and words in his mind.
At first, Situ Sheng felt a little awkward and couldn't open his mouth, but he gradually adapted and became better and better.
The only thing that made Qiu Rong feel bad was that Situ Sheng had a very bad personality. Except for being friendly when facing guests, he had a cold face and was indifferent to other people.
Because of his personality, other people don't like him very much.
However, for the sake of his wife's face, he did not dare to make things difficult for him or to trip him up. He just ignored him.
Until the afternoon, Situ Sheng still didn't see Gu Qing and couldn't help frowning.
How could this happen?
He had thought that Gu Qing would come to the store often, so he insisted on working as a clerk here yesterday, but he didn't expect to see her the next day.
Could it be that I guessed wrong and miscalculated?
When Situ Sheng thought of this possibility, his face darkened and became extremely ugly.
