Why wasn’t it a slightly higher-end shop?
Everyone was puzzled, but this did not stop the grocery store’s business from booming.
It was only the first day and there was already an endless stream of people coming and going in the grocery store. When it was time to settle the accounts at night, they actually earned a hundred taels of silver.
This was a grocery store. The profits were not high to begin with, but there was actually such a gratifying result in a day.
Nowadays, Yu Jin was the one who kept the accounts in the shop. Uncle Yu did not know many words, so it was too difficult to keep the accounts.
The Yu family was overjoyed. Seeing how excited they were, Gu Yundong simply brought everyone to the restaurant for a meal to celebrate.
Of course, it could also be considered as a farewell party. She planned to leave.
When the Yu family heard this, their joy decreased by more than half.
Uncle Yu frowned even more. “You’re leaving just like that? Isn’t that a little too fast? Has Dajiang recovered from his injuries? Didn’t you say last time that he would need to recuperate for half a month?”
“That’s right, Gu girl. Why don’t you stay for a few more days? This shop has only opened for a day. You have to wait until it stabilizes before going back, right?”
“Sister Gu, I’m a little uncertain now that you’re leaving.”
Even the eldest son of the Zhang family, who had always been very quiet, put down his chopsticks and advised, “Wait a few more days.”
Gu Yundong laughed. “You’re too humble. Although I was in the grocery store today, I didn’t speak or help from the beginning to the end. No matter what happened or who you met, you were the ones who were busy. Moreover, you were methodical and clear. I think it’s very impressive. You can do it.”
“But…” It was too sudden.
Perhaps they had been too engrossed in chatting previously and working together to come up with ideas. Unknowingly, so many days had passed. They did not realize that the Gu family was about to leave.
In the end, Uncle Yu waved his hand. “Forget it. Your home is in the Xuanhe Prefecture, and your family is there. Dajiang has been longing to see his wife and children. He has been waiting for so long. If not for the fact that he needs to recuperate, I think he would have rushed back. Especially these few days, he keeps saying that he has recovered. He’s extremely anxious.”
Gu Dajiang felt a little embarrassed by his words, but he really missed them.
He had not seen them for more than half a year. He wondered if they had forgotten about him.
The meal was a little sad.
Before leaving, Gu Yundong told Yu Jin about his aunt and uncle, as well as his uncle, who were still missing.
“I’ve pasted their portraits on the notice board. I’ll leave two for you. The address on this is the grocery store. If anyone comes looking for me, send me a letter.”
Yu Jin took the portrait carefully. “Don’t worry, Sister Gu. I’ll get my father to ask around when he collects goods. If there’s any news, I’ll inform you immediately.”
Yu Jin pursed his lips. “We should be the ones thanking you. Sister Gu, take care. I’ll keep an eye on this shop and record the accounts. I’ll wait for you to come back and review them.”
“Okay!!” Gu Yundonglaughed.
After leaving the restaurant, the two sides parted ways.
After returning to the inn, the few of them began to organize their things, planning to leave Wanqing Prefecture the next day.
Hearing that they were leaving, the waiter of the inn was actually a little reluctant.
After all, they had already stayed here for a month and a half, and Miss Gu was a generous person. If he helped her, he would be rewarded with silver. He had already cultivated a deep friendship with her, and he almost thought that they were living in the inn forever.
