After the couple finished their work, they felt a little better. Business was good today and they made a lot of money. The most important thing was that they made 50 yuan by selling a person. Today's income was almost as much as they had made in two or three months!
As they earned more money, the two men looked at Gu Er with a much more relaxed look in their eyes.
The proprietress was busy all afternoon and only had time to go to the kitchen to take a nap at three in the afternoon.
The boss also went to rest and stretched tiredly.
But Gu Wu, who did the most work today, had to stay and look after the store.
The store suddenly went from being bustling to being quiet. In the middle of summer, there were few people walking on the street. Only the cicadas in the trees outside were chirping non-stop, making people feel annoyed.
He stared at the scorching sun outside in a trance. The sunlight reflected on the road was so dazzling.
He has been working in this store for several years. The woman came to the door yesterday and said today that she wanted to take him back.
The speed is unreal.
His adoptive parents always said that he was a burden and that after he came to his home, he dragged the family down.
If he goes back to Su Luo, will he drag Su Luo down as well?
My eldest brother could be living a good life now. If he goes back, will our family become as poor as before?
He has not yet repaid his adoptive parents' kindness. They said that if he does not repay them, he will be criticized by others when he goes out.
He doesn't want to be stabbed in the back, and doesn't want to be called a heartless ungrateful person or a bad kid.
He was lost in thought when a big man suddenly kicked the door open and said, "Boss! Where is the boss?"
The ferocious look of the other party frightened Gu Wu, and he quickly stood up: "You you..."
The big man came over fiercely and grabbed Gu Wu by the collar: "Go! Find your boss for me!"
Gu Wu was thrown to the ground, and he quickly turned around and went to the kitchen to call for help.
The boss had been awakened by the loud noise of kicking the door, and the boss's wife also woke up. After being awakened, the two of them glared at Gu Wu with displeasure: "Are you going to die? What's that noise outside? What are you doing when I asked you to watch the store?"
Gu Wu said quickly: "There's a very fierce man outside, and he asked for the boss."
The couple looked at each other and hurried out.
The big man saw them and his eyes fell on the boss: "You are the boss, right?"
The boss was a little intimidated when he saw that he was tall and strong, and his attitude unconsciously became a little flattering: "It's me, what's wrong, big brother?"
The big man waved outside: "Come in!"
Several people carried someone in.
The big man said, "My brother, I had lunch at your place at noon, and I had vomiting and diarrhea in the afternoon! Tell me, how can we solve this problem?"
He kicked over the table next to him and looked at the couple viciously.
The proprietress's face changed. She recognized the customer who was vomiting and having diarrhea. It was he who ordered mushrooms for lunch. As she was out of other ingredients, she heated up the wild mushrooms left over from the previous two days, added some green peppers and served it on the table. Could he have gotten sick from eating this?
The boss still wants to deny it.
The lady boss immediately acted as if she had suddenly realized something: "I know! It must be the problem with that plate of mushrooms! I'm sorry, I was too busy at noon, and this kid fried the mushrooms today!"
She pulled Gu Wu out to use as a shield. Since the person was going to leave anyway, he was from another family, so she could just use him.
Gu Wu looked at the proprietress in confusion.
The proprietress pinched him secretly.
Gu Wu quickly understood what she meant and fell silent.
The lady boss sighed again, "Look, we've got you covered with delicious food and drinks, and I asked you to help me cook a dish at noon, but you cut corners and used the leftover wild mushrooms from the last two days. You refused to cook fresh wild mushrooms because you were afraid of the trouble! You little bastard slacked off every day, and now you're in trouble! You've made a mess!"
When the big man heard that the kid was cutting corners, he became furious and slapped him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Gu Wu only felt his ears buzzing, half of his face burning, and his vision was blurry.
The big man kicked him twice again, not feeling satisfied.
Gu Wu was beaten to death.
The big man was still muttering, "I'll teach you to cut corners! I'll teach you to be cunning and sly! You're still so young and you don't learn well!"
“I didn’t…” Gu Wu held his head and said stubbornly and with his dying breath: “It’s not me… I…”
When the lady boss heard him talking, she slapped him again: "How dare you quibble! If I wasn't so tired from being pregnant, I would have asked you to help me! You little bastard, now you've made a mess! Are you satisfied?!"
The big man hit them a few times to vent his anger, warned the boss and the boss's wife, restored the face of the place, and then left with his men.
Gu Wu was beaten to death and got up from the ground.
Outside were the neighbors watching, and everyone looked at him strangely.
"At such a young age, are you so dirty at work?"
"You're young and want to be lazy. You don't know that wild mushrooms are poisonous. You can't keep them for so long."
"Oh, this is really... just consider this a lesson for him if he gets beaten."
Gu Wu couldn't stand their gazes, so he rushed out, pushed the crowd and ran outside.
The boss and his wife just thought he had run home and ignored him. They went about explaining to the neighbors nearby, fearing that they would misunderstand their restaurant because of this incident.

Su Luo and Gu Yi returned home and began to clean the house hurriedly.
There are two rooms and a kitchen in the house.
If Gu Xiaoer comes back, he will naturally sleep in the same room with Gu Yi.
It's summer now, so there's no need to cover yourself with a thick blanket.
Su Luo cleaned the room and bought a pillow and put it on the bed.
It’s not that she has money but doesn’t want to spend it, but she has no plans to change houses in the short term.
Although this novel is fictional, the general timeline is still based on real life.
This year is 1977, and it is now August. The resumption of the college entrance examination will be announced next month, and will be officially resumed at the end of October.
She plans to take the college entrance examination next year.
After this trip, she still focused on reading and was already writing a novel. Now that she had the opportunity to start over and further her studies, she hoped that she would not miss this chance.
When the college entrance examination was resumed, the content of the test questions was definitely not as perverted as in her previous life. Half a year of preparation should be enough.
She majored in liberal arts, and this time, she would at least try her best to make up for the regret of not being able to apply for the Chinese Language and Literature major in her previous life.
Moreover, in this era, the college entrance examination has just been resumed, and the first batch of people who pass the exam are definitely the ones who can occupy the most social resources.
She saved some money by writing novels. If she could pass the exam to be admitted to Beijing and buy a property early, she would have no worries for the rest of her life, and her children would also be able to move up to a better life.
In the original novel, her three children would all become big villains, stirring up trouble in various fields. Now that she is here in this life and giving them endless maternal love, it shouldn't be like this... right?
