Gu Sang merely blinked upon hearing this.
"If that's what you're saying, Mother, then aren't all of us children a burden to you?"
"No, that's not true." Upon hearing this, Li shook her head and said, "How can Sangsang say that? In my heart, you are not a burden to me, you are all my precious treasures."
Even Mrs. Li herself believed that having five adorable children was the greatest blessing bestowed upon her by the old master.
“Yes, Mother, that’s what you think, and that’s what I think too, so… we’re not a burden to each other, Mother, I don’t want to hear those kinds of words again.”
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she blinked her eyes in a peculiar way.
Gu Sang was truly speechless. She knew better than anyone what a burden was, yet Li Shi still held this view.
You said this is not a big deal. The family supports each other and moves forward. This is obviously a very normal situation. But Li always thinks that she is a burden.
To be honest, after talking for a while, Gu Sang also became a little annoyed.
Seeing Gu Sang's expression, Li knew that her words had upset her daughter. After thinking for a moment, Li reached out and gently took Gu Sang's small hand.
"Sangsang, Mother was wrong. Mother will not say such things again."
Hearing Li's words, Gu Sang sighed helplessly and said, "Mother, you know very well how important you are to me. You can't belittle yourself, you know? We are family, and how can family members distinguish between each other? Right?"
Gu Sang had actually talked to Li about this matter a long time ago, but Li had always been stubborn about it. Many times Gu Sang didn't want to say more, but now Gu Sang felt that if she didn't say anything, Li would become even more stubborn.
It would be better to make things clear now.
“Our family is in this situation. My younger siblings are still too young to stand on their own two feet, and my mother and I don’t have time to go out and socialize. So all of this can only be entrusted to someone we can trust. And Li Rong is the best person for that, because he has no ties.”
"As for us, we are a family, so no matter what happens, we have to do better."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she didn't say anything more.
Li knew Gu Sang's predicament, and at this moment, Li became completely obedient.
"I promise I won't think about it anymore."
Gu Sang nodded.
Although Li Shi is saying nice things now, in reality, who knows what she might actually do? Most importantly, that's just Li Shi's personality. Even if Gu Sang is helpless, she has to take it one step at a time.
Fortunately, she had the time, so Gu Sang wasn't too worried at this moment.
In the evening, Li Rong arrived carrying her bundle.
"You're here? Dinner's almost ready, let's eat first and talk about other things later."
"Um."
Li Rong didn't ask a single question about Gu Sang's arrangements. In Li Rong's opinion, Gu Sang was a very intelligent person, so she really didn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing.
However, thinking of this, Li Rong added, "The Gu family seems very quiet now, but I'm afraid they might do something else. You should be careful."
The Gu family members are all extremely ruthless; who knows what they might do?
Gu Sang nodded.
"There's no need to worry about them for now."
After dinner, Gu Sang took her younger siblings out for a stroll. The town was quite lively at night, though it lacked the hustle and bustle of a farmhouse, it had its own unique charm.
Gu Sang felt much calmer. After thinking for a moment, she turned to look at Li Rong.
Are you used to it?
Li Rong paused for a moment, then, realizing what Gu Sang meant, smiled faintly and shook her head.
"Everything is fine."
He wasn't particularly concerned about those things. Whether he lived in a rural area or a town, it was just a change of scenery, and he didn't really feel anything special about it.
Gu Sang nodded in agreement.
“We can’t just wait like this. Nobody can afford to wait like this. So I think I’ll start by trying other dishes tomorrow. But we can’t sell the boiled fish because it’s already been sold to Yipinju. We have to be honest and trustworthy. We can’t let that slip.”
"Hmm, so you have a direction in mind?"
Gu Sang thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Actually, it's not really about direction. It's just about this matter... In my opinion, it's not a big deal. Besides, I can cook all the dishes. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Gu Sang had some ideas in mind, but they were still somewhat unclear, so she needed to think about it and figure out what to do.
Having thought of all this, Gu Sang said, "There's one more thing, which is to get the restaurant popular first, otherwise it will be difficult to proceed."
Whatever the reason, we have to deal with the matter first, otherwise it will be difficult to handle later.
Li Rong nodded in agreement and then said, "Remember to call me if you need anything, and I'll cooperate with you."
"Yes, no problem."
After walking around for a while, the family went home.
The next morning, Gu Sang went to the market to buy fresh vegetables, and then set off a string of firecrackers at the entrance of the restaurant, which marked the start of the business.
Although the opening is somewhat vague, it doesn't really matter.
Li was very worried and even somewhat uneasy, because she was unsure whether anyone would come.
Gu Sang didn't seem to have any other thoughts on this, and even appeared quite calm.
"Sangsang, will anyone come?"
Li asked worriedly,
At that moment, Gu Sang blinked and then chuckled.
"Mother, what are you saying? I don't know if anyone will come, but if we're prepared, isn't that better than anything else?"
After she finished speaking, Gu Sang smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, even if no one's around, we can just eat at home. Wouldn't it be better if someone were there?"
Anyway, Gu Sang is waiting for sauerkraut, so opening a small restaurant to sell other stir-fried dishes is just a temporary measure.
Li was initially worried, but after hearing what Gu Sang said, she nodded to show that she understood.
"Alright, then Mom will help you wash and chop the vegetables."
"good."
Gu Sang smiled and then asked Li Shi to help her, while Li Rong waited in front to greet the guests.
Actually, there wasn't much to welcome, since there wasn't much of a crowd.
