Chapter 125 From now on, you will be my younger brother
Two days later, Xu Jin came back.
From his expression, it was clear that things were not going well.
Gu Siyuan poured a glass of water for Xu Jin, and Xu Jin asked, "Why is this kid still at your house?"
"He has no place to live, so he lives with me temporarily. Did you encounter any difficulties when you went out to buy flour this time?"
"Flour can be bought, but it is too expensive to buy from others. Even if we buy it back, we will not make any money. I will look for cheaper ones tomorrow."
"My father has a friend. I told him about the difficulties we are facing now, and he can provide me with flour and sugar."
Xu Jin was concerned about the price.
Shen Jiale said the price was the same as that of the flour mill.
Xu Jin was overjoyed: "That's great, sister-in-law, you can invite him out, I must thank him."
"He only helped me for my father's sake and didn't want to see outsiders."
Xu Jin expressed his understanding, as long as he could provide flour at a reasonable price, he would not force it.
After the raw material inventory of Ruyi Biscuit Factory was used up, Shen Jiale said that the flour she contacted had arrived.
Take Xu Jin to the newly rented yard.
Looking at the room full of flour and sugar, Xu Jin was very excited.
"God really doesn't let me, Xu Jin, go."
After paying the payment to Shen Jiale, Xu Jin sent someone to transport the flour and sugar away.
After a while, he returned and handed Shen Jiale a pig leg.
"Sister-in-law, although he doesn't want to see me, we can't ask for help for nothing. You pass this pig leg to him. It's my little gift. Please say a few more good words for me and try to provide us with flour in the future."
Shen Jiale said no, she would thank him.
Xu Jin disagreed: "They are doing this for your father's sake. It's a favor. It has nothing to do with me. I still need to take care of it."
In order to reassure Xu Jin, Shen Jiale took the pig leg.
...
A pig leg weighs more than 20 pounds, with a lot of meat. Xu Jin came to deliver the pig leg, and Gu Siyuan also saw it. It was not easy to put it in the space.
The family couldn't eat so much at once. The flour and sugar had already made a lot of money. Shen Jiale wanted to give the pig leg as a welfare to the employees of the biscuit factory.
He told Lu Mingfeng that he was going to deliver pork to Yaoshui Village. Lu Mingfeng couldn't leave, so he asked Gu Siyuan to go with him.
Although Gu Siyuan was young, he was very steady. During the time he lived at home, he took care of the housework, and Shen Jiale couldn't get involved.
Shen Jiale told him that he had a factory in Yaoshui Village, and asked Gu Siyuan to treat himself as an employee of the factory and do the work assigned to him.
Shen Jiale arranged for Gu Siyuan to feed chickens and clean chicken coops, and paid him 5 yuan a month, including food and accommodation.
Gu Siyuan felt that Shen Jiale gave him too much. He usually worked non-stop for a whole day at other people's homes, but he was only given two cakes.
Hearing Lu Mingfeng asking him to accompany Shen Jiale, he happily agreed.
However, Gu Siyuan was distressed.
He could not ride a bicycle. He could not take Shen Jiale with him.
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "I can take you."
Gu Siyuan scratched his head embarrassedly.
...
Putting the pork leg into a bag and tying it to the back seat of the car, Shen Jiale took Gu Siyuan with him and set off.
While riding, he heard someone calling Gu Siyuan.
"Gu Siyuan, you little brat, where have you been these days?" It was the voice of a little boy.
Shen Jiale stopped the car and asked, "Is it someone you know?"
Gu Siyuan said, "Don't worry about it, sister. Let's go."
The little boy was taller than Gu Siyuan. He ran over and said to Gu Siyuan with an unhappy look on his face, "There are so many clothes piled up at home, and I don't know how to wash them. Where have they gone?"
Gu Siyuan said, "I won't go there in the future."
The little boy glanced at Shen Jiale and said, "Oh, this is marrying up. My mother said that beautiful women are the best at deceiving people. She just wants you to work for her for free."
Gu Siyuan said coldly, "Do you think everyone is like your family? Your sister is very good to me. She gives me three meals a day, gives me a separate room to live in, and even pays me a salary."
The little boy listened The little boy came to Shen Jiale's house and laughed: "Gu Siyuan, are you dreaming? I can believe you if you give you some food, but if you give you a room and money, you can let me go if there is such a good thing."
Shen Jiale said: "You are such a disgusting little brat, you are not welcome in my house."
The little boy was stunned for a moment and said: "Gu Siyuan, my mother said that no one will be nice to a person for no reason. She must have intentions towards you."
Gu Siyuan said: "I am happy to do so. What's it to you?"
At this time, a woman came over not far away, and the little boy immediately shouted: "Mom, there is a woman here who wants to kidnap Gu Siyuan."
Gu Siyuan saw the woman coming and moved closer to Shen Jiale.
When the woman saw Gu Siyuan, she smiled and said, "Siyuan, where have you been these days? Aunt Miao is very worried about you. Come back with me soon."
Gu Siyuan insisted, "I won't go to your house anymore. I have somewhere to go."
The woman still smiled and said, "You are a naughty child. You don't have any other relatives. Where can you go?"
The little boy said, "Mom, he said that this woman's house will provide food and accommodation, and you will also get paid."
The woman asked Shen Jiale, "Sister, is that true?"
Shen Jiale nodded and said yes.
The woman was delighted and said, "Siyuan, you have no relatives with them, how can you live in their house? You should come back with me and you can go about your business as usual."
Seeing that Gu Siyuan was still unwilling, the woman said to Shen Jiale, "This child is an orphan. His grandmother asked me to take care of him before she died. We are going to adopt him."
Shen Jiale looked at Gu Siyuan, who shook his head.
Shen Jiale said, "Siyuan is not willing."
The woman smiled and said, "He can't survive as a child. He needs an adult by his side."
Shen Jiale looked at Gu Siyuan: "Siyuan, from now on, you will be my brother."
Gu Siyuan looked at Shen Jiale, his eyes filled with strangeness, and nodded excitedly.
The woman was anxious. If Gu Siyuan didn't go back to live, how could she ask for his salary?
He said, "Siyuan, you have to think it over. We have known each other for many years. I have never seen this person. Who knows what he is up to."
Shen Jiale said, "If you suspect me, go to the police station to report the case. My husband works in the wine factory and will cooperate with the police investigation at any time. Now, we have something else to do, so we have to leave first." When
the woman saw Shen Jiale was about to leave, she stepped forward to hold her back, but Gu Siyuan opened her hand and said, "Don't touch my sister!"
The woman said earnestly, "Siyuan, she just covets your grandma's things."
Gu Siyuan said angrily, "You know best what my grandma has. Can it be someone else's turn to occupy it?"
From what he said, it seems that after Gu Siyuan's grandma passed away, she should have left some things, but they did not fall into the hands of a child like him.
Otherwise, he would not have fallen to the point of washing clothes for others in exchange for food.
