Chapter 423: I’m Afraid You Don’t Want to Live Anymore

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong did not know that Yunshu had done such a thing in school. She thought that since it was her brother’s classmates’ first visit here, she naturally had to treat them well. She could start preparing now.

Hence, after she was done with Qin Wenzheng, she prepared to leave.

Before she left, she left two cans behind.

“Those are new fruit cans that are about to be served in our shop. Try it and see if you can sell it.”

Qin Wenzheng returned to his room with the cans in disdain and said to Madam Ge, “Why cans? You might as well send two catties of white sugar.”

Madam Ge ignored him and studied the cans curiously. She opened a can and poured the pulp into a bowl.

Qin Wenzheng, who was about to leave, suddenly turned back. When he saw Madam Ge’s bright eyes after taking a small bite of loquat, he was stunned.

He silently picked up the spoon and took a sip. Hmm? It was actually quite delicious. It was refreshing and sweet, and the sugar water was abundant.

Qin Wenzheng couldn’t help but eat another one. Then another, and another.

Therefore, when Madam Ge slowly swallowed it and wanted to continue eating, she saw that her husband had already drunk the last bit of sugar water.

Madam Ge was speechless. He probably didn’t want to live anymore.

After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Wenzheng looked up and realized what he had done.

He coughed lightly and tried his best to maintain his image as a school teacher. He pointed at the other can and said, “Well, I’ll leave it for you and Anning to eat. Anning is young, and this can is sweet. Tell her to eat less.”

With that, he left.

He would go to Gu Yundong’s shop to ask around and see if he could buy a few more cans. These things were not bad.

At this moment, Gu Yundong had already carried the cans to the Liu family. Old Master Liu accepted the things. Liu Wei was not around, and the servants of the Liu family said that he had gone to his elder sister’s house and had not returned.

Gu Yundong went straight back to Yongfu Village.

Big Qian and Tong Ping went to collect the fruits. Gu Yundong felt that there were still too few people, so she asked Niu Dan’s father to follow them.

The work in the workshop began to slowly get on track. Gu Yundong offered lunch to the workers for free. She found three efficient old women from the village to start the fire at the stove that had been built at the back of the workshop.

There was meat and vegetables for lunch. It was better than what they had at home. This made many people’s eyes light up with excitement.

There were even people who did not eat at noon and planned to bring the food back to eat secretly at night.

Gu Yundong was also very helpless about this. There were a few families that were really poor. Their children were so hungry that their faces were sallow and their bodies were thin. They could not even eat a full meal a day. As adults, how could they eat a large bowl of food in peace?

Sometimes, when they looked at the meat slices and thought about their family, they would cry.

There was nothing wrong with bringing the food back. In the modern era, there were still many people who brought food back from the canteen.

However, she also had a rule that everyone would only get food once. They could bring it back, but if the workers were to starve and delay their work, they would be fired. The workshop could not afford them.

After all, the workshop only recruited you and had no intention of supporting your family.

This rule dispelled many people’s thoughts. At least no one would stay hungry at noon. At most, only some of the food would be brought home at night for the children to taste.

With Tong An in charge of the workshop, Gu Yundong was much more relaxed.

The next day, Zheng Gang came over with the idea of launching new products in the shop.

Not only him, even Old Master Liu came..
