Upon seeing Gu Zi, Mother Lin’s face lit up with a particularly radiant smile.

She brought out a portion of braised meat she had prepared earlier, presenting it to Gu Zi. “Your sister-in-law and I managed to set up the stall,” she began, “I prepared some meat for Aunt Yang at home. Tell her it’s for breakfast, a taste test of sorts. If she likes it, she could help look after the business. Once the shop opens, it would be great if she could help out, especially since she knows the taste and can introduce it well.”

Gu Zi accepted the small portion of meat, subconsciously weighing it in her palm. It was not heavy, probably about an ounce or so. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for a meal.

“Don’t worry, Mom,” she reassured, “I know how to convince Aunt Yang to accept it.” She understood that her mother’s lengthy explanation was merely a reflection of her concern that her good friend might refuse out of pride.

As Gu Zi turned to leave, a smile involuntarily tugged at the corners of her mouth. In that moment, she realized that her decision to help Aunt Yang was the right one. Aunt Yang was a genuinely good person, kind-hearted and respectful. Her current situation was beyond her control.

More importantly, it was heartening to see her mother have a close friend to worry about at her age, someone who was part of her social circle. It was indeed a good thing.

Gu Zi, holding the meat, headed towards the boiler room. She passed through the main hall, took a couple of turns, and arrived. However, as soon as she entered the boiler room, she noticed a burly man standing in front of the hot water barrel, peering inside. Even from behind, he seemed suspicious. Gu Zi instinctively took a step back, hiding behind a pile of goods to see what he was up to.

The man looked around to ensure no one was watching, then pulled out a paper package from his pocket. He opened it and poured its contents into the hot water barrel. A gust of wind blew some of the white powder out.

A sudden chill ran down Gu Zi’s spine, her expression turning serious, her complexion paling.

She could only conclude one thing: this man was up to no good. As for who he was trying to harm, it was quite obvious. After all, Aunt Yang was currently in charge of heating and transporting the water in the boiler room. He was probably trying to sabotage her work and get her fired.
