Chapter 322: Greed for Things That Do Not Belong to You
Second Brother Gu touched his chin. He had wanted to try roast duck for a long time, but he had never been willing to buy it.
Seeing that his sister also wanted to eat it, why was he still hesitating? "Jiaojiao wants to eat it, second brother will go to queue up to buy it."
"Well, second brother, you go and queue up to buy the roast duck, and we'll continue shopping slowly." Gu Jiaojiao said in a crisp tone with a smile on her brows.
"Jiaojiao, big brother, you guys go wait in front of the pancake stand first, second brother will be back soon."
Before leaving, Second Brother Gu gave them some more instructions, and only then did he leave with peace of mind.
Gu Jiaojiao looked at his back and couldn't help laughing, "Su Shuoci, do you think my second brother has wanted to try roast duck for a long time?"
"Yeah, I've wanted to try it for a long time. This roast duck is not something that ordinary people can eat. A roast duck costs about a quarter of an average person's monthly salary."
Before Su Shuoci could say anything, Brother Gu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was really short of money.
"Well, Jiaojiao, try it first. If you like it, I will learn how to make roast duck and I will roast duck for you every day in the future."
Su Shuoci rarely showed a faint smile in public, as if the ice and snow were melting and spring was blooming, so beautiful that it was astonishing.
He looked like a tyrant emperor in ancient times who doted on a beautiful concubine and was willing to give up everything in the world just to make her smile.
Even someone as calm as Gu Jiaojiao was embarrassed by his action.
"Su Shuoci, look at your attitude, as if you will satisfy me as long as I like it."
"That's a must. As long as my wife likes it, I will definitely satisfy you." Su Shuoci's voice was very soft when he said this.
The young man from the Han family and the young man from the Xiao family did not speak, but they both turned their gazes to the roast duck stall next to them.
Neither of them noticed the affection between their aunt and her husband.
They have eaten delicious roast duck, but given their family's financial situation, they can only eat it once a month. The taste is so good that people want to eat it again and again.
After Xia Qiu Ming finished his meal at Gu's house, he was called back to the hospital because he was told that there was an emergency operation to be performed.
There were several teenagers queuing in front of Brother Gu. The fat uncle selling roast duck greeted them immediately when he saw them.
"Young man, do you want one or half, or half of a half? Half is five dollars, and half of a half is two dollars and fifty cents."
Most people buy half or half of a half.
When it was Brother Gu's turn, he said loudly without hesitation, "Uncle, I want to buy one. Can you please cut it into six pieces for me?"
"Oh my!" The boss was so happy when he heard it. "Young man, you really know how to enjoy yourself. My roast duck tastes very authentic."
Brother Gu took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it over quickly, "Thank you, uncle. Is this enough?"
The boss took the money and immediately said with a smile, "That's enough, that's enough. I'll give you fifty cents. If you like it, come back next time."
Second Brother Gu walked towards Gu Jiaojiao and the others with the roast duck divided into six portions. As soon as he got close, he took the two portions with two duck legs.
Passed them to Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao respectively, "Jiaojiao, try them while they're hot."
After dividing it, he couldn't wait to take out a piece of roast duck meat and put it in his mouth, "Wow, it smells so good and so hot!"
Gu Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, it's so hot, why don't you go slower?"
"I can't slow down. I've been craving for it for a long time." Brother Gu said while chewing the duck meat.
"Brother, you shouldn't be short of money selling pancakes. You must have eaten roast duck before. You don't have to be so exaggerated just to make me happy, right?"
Seeing that Second Brother Gu was so frugal himself but was so generous in helping her decorate the room, Gu Jiaojiao was actually very touched.
The young man from the Han family and the young man from the Xiao family looked at each other, and then spoke in unison.
"Auntie, you don't know that this roast duck is delicious. Everyone wants to eat more after having it."
"Hehe, that's right, that's right, Jiaojiao, second brother eats it often." Second Brother Gu said with great dignity.
Brother Gu didn't say much, but from the smile on his face you could tell he was in a good mood.
Several people ate the delicious roast duck. Gu Jiaojiao didn't eat anything else. The two teenagers and Brother Gu each ate a pancake.
The two teenagers no longer complained about the tasks assigned by their grandfather, and even wished they could follow their aunt every day.
Second Brother Gu is very smart. Each of his apprentices will bring another apprentice to support a small stall.
Of the money earned from each stall every day, he takes 50% after deducting the cost, his apprentice gets 30%, and another person gets 20%.
This way everyone is very happy and no one is lazy at all. Brother Gu buys in raw materials every day and distributes them to each stall.
Then he would collect and count the money. Second Brother Gu enjoyed getting up early and going to bed late every day. He could also spare some time to read.
Compared to Brother Gu who is obsessed with money and feels depressed and frustrated, Brother Gu is much more fulfilled.

While Gu Jiaojiao and her friends were shopping, Gu's father and mother were not idle either. They went to their second uncle Gu's house next door.
Father Gu rarely said something harsh: "Second brother, I know you have been scheming to get promoted. If you mess with my daughter and son-in-law again, let alone promotion, they can also pull you out of your current job."
Uncle Gu: ...Isn’t your son-in-law a cripple?
But he saw from his eldest brother's eyes that the cripple should be able to do it! He regretted his momentary verbal pleasure, but he could not be wrong, so he glared at his wife fiercely.
For the first time, Mother Gu got really angry at Uncle Gu's house and even turned back to warn before leaving.
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Anyway, as long as you and your wife Gu Chengguo don't cause trouble for our son-in-law, I won't bother with you.
If you dare to do anything to hurt Shuoci, especially Jiaojiao, I will definitely teach you a lesson. "
There was a hint of cruelty in Gu's mother's words.
On the way home, Father Gu said to his wife in a gentle voice, "That's what I meant, don't worry, Yuehua.
We have just warned him not to go after Shuo Ci and Jiao Jiao, so he won't be so stupid as to commit a crime, right?"
Although he said this, Father Gu was still unsure.
His younger brother did not inherit any of his father's IQ, so he is not very smart.
He is still not down to earth. Although his intelligence is mediocre, he insists on thinking that he is very capable. He is too ambitious and greedy for things that do not belong to him.
Just like this job promotion, although it seems that Gu Chengguo is competing with another person.
But that person is stronger than Gu Chengguo in both ability and qualifications, and has a clearer chance of winning, but his second brother insisted on competing.
He really is overestimating himself. If he treats Jiaojiao well today, maybe he will use his connections to help him.
In addition to worrying about his second younger brother, Father Gu also had an older son who was a source of worry for him.
Gu Jiaojiao didn't know that her parents were going to cause trouble for her because of her.
They strolled around until ten o'clock in the evening before returning home. The two boys followed Gu Jiaojiao to sleep in the guest room of the Gu family.
