Chapter 477: Rain Is Coming

It dawned on Su Shen that his previous lengthy discourse was not the main point; it was the final sentence that truly mattered.
He served two dumplings to the ever-hungry Su Li, instructing, “Remember to tell your mother that I’ll be home early this evening.” The winter solstice was as significant as the New Year to him, and he had no intention of working late. He wanted to spend the day with her.
Su Li, engrossed in his delicious meal, nodded without giving it much thought. Wasn’t he supposed to be busy? Especially on the day of the winter solstice, shouldn’t he be even busier? It wasn’t until Su Li was on his way home that he overheard a conversation in the hall.
“Do you know, our boss Su announced early this morning that we’re off at four this evening. He wants us to spend time with our wives and children. And it’s paid time off! Long live Brother Shen! Long live our sister-in-law! Long live the winter solstice!”
“So that’s why! That’s wonderful! But why are you thanking our sister-in-law?”
“Are you dense? It’s clear that our Brother Shen wants to spend time with his wife. We’re just benefiting from her good fortune. How could we not thank her?”
“That makes sense. Long live our sister-in-law!”
Su Li relayed the conversation to his mother once he arrived home, mimicking the expressions and gestures of the men, much to the amusement of Gu Zi.
However, after the laughter subsided, Gu Zi began to feel drowsy. Perhaps it was due to her missing her usual nap. She couldn’t shake off the sleepiness.
With most of her tasks completed, Gu Zi handed over the care of Lele to Su Bing and went upstairs for a nap. Lele had already woken up and wouldn’t be sleeping again for a while.
When Gu Zi woke up, she glanced at her watch. It was almost four o’clock. Su Shen should be returning soon, right?
She climbed out of bed, shivering slightly in the cold. Pulling back the curtains, she was met with a gloomy sky, giving off an ominous sense of an impending storm.
