150 Chapter 150 Regret

“It’s not safe for you to go back and forth on your own. If it’s late, don’t come back.” Father Gu said.

“I understand, father. Then, I’ll leave you to your work.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went home with Er Zhuang.

Father Gu wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he didn’t call out to her.

After Zhou Ying had gone far away, she wondered why Father Gu was looking for them this time. Could it be to borrow money?

After that, she shook her head and tossed him to the back of her mind.

When she got home, she went to the shed and let Er Zhuang go. Zhou Ying then went to her interspace to make some shredded chicken porridge. After giving Er Zhuang half a bowl, she ate hers with a fried tomato egg.

After that, she started to work in the space.

On the other end, after Father Gu returned home, Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked, “Darling, how is it? Did they agree?”

Father Gu shook his head. “Only Zhou Ying came back, so I was embarrassed to ask.”

“Darling, Zhou Ying is the one who can cook, not Chengrui.” Mrs. Liu spoke with a speechless expression.

“You have the nerve to ask for something from your daughter-in-law? I’m not that thick-skinned.” Father Gu glared at her.

“Then why don’t we go to the clinic to find Chengrui tomorrow? Otherwise, our small shop won’t be able to support itself any further.” Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

“Then let’s talk about it tomorrow, and let’s have dinner.” Father Gu sat down at the main table after that.

When Mrs. Liu saw this, she told Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Guo to set the table.

The next day, Father Gu went to the clinic early in the morning but was told Chengrui was at the restaurant, so he had no choice but to go over.

When he came over, the couple was having breakfast. Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment before asking, “Father, have you eaten yet? If not, you can make do with it here.”

“I’ve already eaten. You guys hurry up and eat, and I’ll wait for you in the front.” Father Gu said, and he went to the main hall.

At the same time, Father Gu complained inwardly. “This early in the morning, and he’s eating millet porridge, baked biscuits, meat, and even some side dishes. If this is just ‘making do’, what did I eat for breakfast? Pig food?”

It seemed that the young couple had gotten back on their feet. Perhaps they could resume their lives in the capital one day.

Thinking of this, there was a burst of regret. Zhou Ying wasn’t a jinx but a money-making girl. He couldn’t help but start disliking Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao for their actions.

He would not have acted so coldly against the couple back then if they hadn’t been fanning the flames.

After he left, Zhou Ying told him about Father Gu waiting for them yesterday. “There must be something he wants to talk to you about. Be careful, and don’t fall into his trap.”

“Don’t worry; he’s not my biological father. I won’t be affected by false kinship.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

After that, the two of them finished their breakfast quickly.

After the meal, Gu Chengrui went to the front, while Zhou Ying took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen and started her work.

Gu Chengrui went over with a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts left over from yesterday.

After sitting down, he poured his father a cup of tea and said, “Father, have a cup of tea to warm your body.”

“Ay.” Father Gu responded, then pointed to the exhaust fan on the window and asked, “What’s that? Why is there a hole in the window? Wouldn’t it make here?”

“That’s an exhaust fan. Previously, everyone felt that the smell of smoke was too strong, so we got a carpenter to make that.”

“Is it useful?”

“It works, but it can only move when someone is pulling it.”

“Doesn’t that mean you have to recruit more people?”

“Yes, I hired a few beggars, and they will come over to help out during mealtimes. It didn’t cost much.”

As soon as he said that, Father Gu thought of the opening day when a group of beggars was giving out flyers on the street. He couldn’t help but say, “You’re sure good at hiring. Beggars are much cheaper than normal people.”
