Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With a flicker in her eyes, Li Li found words that would serve her favor. She shook her head with a bitter smile and said, “Mr. Gu, I’m not afraid of your ridicule. My current predicament is my own doing.”

Li Li and Su Jing, the sister-in-law of Gu Zi, Mr. Gu’s adopted daughter, were classmates and once close friends. Last year, seeing Gu Zi’s thriving braised meat shop in town, Li Li had sought a way to make a living.

She approached her dear friend Su Jing, hoping she could help her secure the recipe for the braised meat from Gu Zi. Li Li intended to use it as a means of livelihood after her marriage, to ease the burden on her future husband.

However, things didn’t go as planned. Su Jing did sell her the recipe, but it turned out to be a fake. The meat Li Li prepared using it was ruined. This incident brought shame upon her fiancé, who then decided to leave her.

Li Li’s tear-filled eyes evoked sympathy. Gu Shan, a man who was easily moved by such vulnerability, felt a strong urge to comfort her. He admired her for her softness and consideration for her fiancé. He thought to himself, how could such a good woman be so unfortunate? As for his own wife, he considered her marriage to him a blessing of eight lifetimes. What more could she possibly want?

Before his marriage to Zhang Mei, Gu Shan had no feelings for her. They were brought together by matchmakers, a common practice in their era. Many couples would meet for the first time on their wedding day. How else could he have ended up with Zhang Mei, a woman lacking in both talent and figure?

As Gu Shan pondered over his wife’s shortcomings, he found himself enjoying the company of Li Li, the country woman, during their journey. When they reached Daqing Village and Li Li was about to get off, both of them seemed reluctant to part ways.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Li mustered the courage to ask Gu Shan for his contact information. “Mr. Gu, I owe you for today. Please leave me your contact information. If you ever need a housemaid or something, I can do it. I’m hardworking, a good cook, and I don’t demand much salary. Please consider it as a favor.”
