Chapter 328: 328 Chapter 328: 328 Mrs. Zhang, eager to have Gu Hengniang bring her younger sister Ruyan to the Gu Family, began finding reasons to speak with her sister-in-law Gu Hengniang after she arrived.
She would occasionally mention how she longed to see Miss Yanyan.
At first, Gu Hengniang was reluctant, but Mrs. Zhang insisted, adding that she merely wanted to catch up with Yanyan and would not let her meet Gu Ya, their crippled third brother!
Gu Hengniang eventually began to waver.
With a keen eye for body language, Mrs. Zhang knew what was troubling her sister-in-law. Fearing an awkward encounter between Yanyan and Gu Ya, she said, “Sister-in-law, our third brother can’t move around freely with his legs like that; he’s bed-bound. If Miss Yanyan comes and avoids going to third brother’s room, she won’t see him.”
Upon reflection, Gu Hengniang found Mrs. Zhang’s words to make sense! Yanyan used to visit the Gu Family often and was familiar with everyone. Even if she couldn’t become a daughter-in-law of the Gu Family, both families were related, so it wasn’t a problem for her to drop by from time to time!
“Sister-in-law, if that’s the case, the next time I come over to the Gu Family, I’ll ask Yanyan. If she is willing, then I’ll bring her along!”
Mrs. Zhang could hardly contain her joy upon persuading Gu Hengniang, “You’re doing the right thing, sister-in-law! Yanyan and our family have such a good relationship! It’s only right for us to visit each other more often!”
A triumphant glint flashed in Mrs. Zhang’s eyes!
Now that she had won over Gu Hengniang!
When Miss Yanyan comes!
She would have a great spectacle to look forward to!
The end of the next month was her father-in-law’s birthday! What an excellent excuse to have Gu Hengniang bring Yanyan over, “Sister-in-law, the end of next month is our father’s birthday. You and brother-in-law will surely come over, so why not bring Yanyan along?”
While Mrs. Zhang was convincing Gu Hengniang on one hand, on the other, Ding Wang from Fuman Building said he would come to the Su Family in three days to collect the account books for Gu Ya. That morning, Su Yunjin had just finished washing clothes by the riverside and returned home.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Ding Wang from Fuman Building, carrying a bundle, making his way over!
Ding Wang immediately spotted Su Yunjin returning from washing clothes by the river.
“Sister-in-law! How is it going? Has big brother Gu finished the accounts I brought over last time?”
That morning, Su Yunjin saw Gu Ya working on the accounts; presumably, he hadn’t finished yet. At the moment, however, Su Yunjin did not inform Ding Wang of whether Gu Ya had finished the accounts or not.
Instead, she invited Ding Wang inside with a smile, “Brother Ding Wang, I owe you one for last time at the restaurant, introducing me! If it hadn’t been for your help, I may not have gotten to meet your manager, Manager Liu, so easily!”
Although Ding Wang did indeed assist Su Yunjin at the restaurant last time, it wasn’t entirely thanks to his efforts!
A mere worker like Ding Wang wouldn’t have the ability to introduce anyone to the manager of the restaurant. The major reason Manager Liu agreed to see Su Yunjin was because, on her last visit to the restaurant, she had sold him pig’s blood which turned out to be a big hit!
“Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t say that! Manager Liu agreed to see you because of your own abilities. The pig’s blood you spoke about at our Fuman Building sold exceptionally well! When he heard you were coming, he agreed to see you and let me bring you to him. If it had been someone else, even if I had reported to Manager Liu, he might not have agreed to meet with them!”
No matter how it’s spun, Su Yunjin felt grateful to Ding Wang; without his message, she would not have met the manager so easily, “Brother Ding Wang, regardless, you did help me out! I should thank you!”
The two were talking and had arrived at the room where Gu Ya was working on the accounts!
