Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Unbeknownst to Aunt Yang, his intentions had grown so malicious that he was now plotting against her. Subconsciously, she felt averse to getting close to this young man.

However, with Gu Zi present, she felt obligated to save face for Ah Zhuang.

After all, she still had to work here for a while. Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she said to Ah Zhuang, “Thank you! Please express my gratitude to your mother on my behalf. I must get back to work now.”

Gu Zi stuffed the braised meat into Aunt Yang’s pocket and blocked her attempts to take it out. “There’s no need for thanks,” she said. “If you’re going to work in our shop in the future, you should Imow the taste of our food. How else will you promote it to the customers? The work in the hall can wait. Ah Zhuang, could you move those boxes of coal from the entrance?”

“Ah, this… Yes, I’ll do it right away.” Ah Zhuang was taken aback by the sudden order, but he had no choice but to obey Gu Zi. After all, she was the boss’s wife and had every right to command him.

He immediately abandoned his cart to move the boxes. As he turned to leave, he glanced at the bucket of water. It didn’t matter; he could deliver it later.

Aunt Yang, having heard Gu Zi’s words, had no choice but to accept the meat. She took it out to eat, her hunger gnawing at her since she had only had a bowl of porridge before leaving the house that morning.

Gu Zi waited for Aunt Yang to finish eating. When she was about to deliver the water, Gu Zi stopped her, whispering, “Don’t deliver this water. Fill a new bucket instead. Don’t ask why, just go and do it.”

As Aunt Yang went to refill the water, Ah Zhuang emerged from the inside, having finished moving the goods. He was drenched in sweat. Seeing this, Gu Zi immediately took a ladle from the cart, scooped up some warm water from the wooden bucket, and handed it to Ah Zhuang. “You’ve worked hard,” she said. “I feel guilty for making you work as soon as I arrived. Have some water.”

Ah Zhuang looked at the ladle of water the woman was offering him and was about to refuse. He knew there was something added to it. Drinking this water would inevitably lead to stomachaches and diarrhea. Without the antidote, it would take an hour or two to recover. He absolutely could not drink this water!

Why hadn’t that old woman, Aunt Yang, delivered the water yet?

“I’ve just finished working, so it’s not good to drink water immediately,” he said. “It’s perfectly fine for you to ask me to work. There’s no need to feel guilty.
