He Shuyan was truly exasperated by Xu Luoxue's big mouth. She spread rumors about things that weren't even true yet. What would happen to Ya Rou's face if her brother denied it?
She wasn't stupid; how could she not see that her brother had a special affection for Gu Wanwan and was thinking of going back to her?
In contrast, he had no romantic feelings for Ya Rou and treated her with courtesy only because Ya Rou was his sister's savior.
Although she didn't want her brother to be with Gu Wanwan, she had to admit that Gu Wanwan had captured her brother's heart, and she had never seen her brother 'troubled by love' before.
Strictly speaking, my brother did not wrong Gu Wanwan, nor did he ever betray her. From beginning to end, he was a man of integrity, and even though he had many suitors, he never had the thought of having multiple relationships at the same time.
Whether it was breaking off the engagement or acting as matchmaker, it was all done by her and her elders.
Actually, her brother is no less capable than Fu Jingchen, so why would Gu Wanwan choose the sharp-tongued Fu Jingchen over him?
"No, Luo Xue, don't talk nonsense. My mom didn't mean that at all. My brother is going to get angry."
Xu Luoxue assumed He Shuyan was just embarrassed for her brother. "Oh, what's there to be embarrassed about? We're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we say it now or not. We still have to celebrate. I'm happy today, so I'm giving each employee at the pickle shop a 50-cent raise. We'll start work tomorrow and make more pickles to earn more money."
He Shuyan was speechless. The pickle shop was about to go bankrupt, so where would Xu Luoxue get the wages to pay the villagers?
The employees were even happier, and the news of not having to pay spread everywhere. "Ya Rou and Xu are so generous. Our pickled vegetable workshop will be famous all over the country. Ya Rou is reliable. Other brigades can't find such an easy and lucrative job. We must work hard to become permanent employees."
Seeing that things were getting more and more outrageous, He Shuyan quickly called for a stop, "My mom just called and talked about the pickle shop, Luoxue, can you let me finish first?"
Xu Luoxue interrupted her again, "They must be praising Ya Rou, saying our pickled vegetables are so good, and they want to increase their orders, right? That's great! I don't believe we can't compete with Gu Wanwan. So what if it's a pickled vegetable shop? A pickled vegetable shop can still make a name for itself. Gu Wanwan will be furious now, hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the crowd.
Gu Yarou noticed that He Shuyan's expression was off and immediately sensed something was wrong. "Alright, cousin, stop talking. Let's go back!"
Xu Luoxue drifted away, suddenly thinking of showing off in front of Gu Wanwan.
He Shuyan forcefully pulled her back, "Don't go, you'll only humiliate yourself. The pickle shop can't compare to Gu Wanwan's garment factory, that's a fact..."
Xu Luoxue disapprovingly shook off her hand, "He Shuyan, when did you become so cowardly? The success of the pickled vegetable shop is a good thing. Are you trying to ruin our business with that long face? We have so many relatives in the factory in Beijing, we don't have to worry about sales at all. What are you afraid of?"
He Shuyan went all out and forced herself to tell the villagers the truth that was hard for them to accept, "That's because... the factories in Beijing don't need pickled vegetables anymore, so our pickling workshop needs..."
