Bring Me Along

She did not stand on ceremony and interrupted his fantasy.

“Not a shopkeeper, but a shop assistant.”

The smile on Chen Jincai’s face froze as expected. He looked at her with a shocked expression. “Then, who will be the shopkeeper?”

“Zhuangzi,” Gu Yundong said matter-of-factly. “He’s been working for Gu’s for a long time and is already very experienced. Moreover, he’s familiar with the process and knows the guests. It’s only natural for him to be promoted to shopkeeper.”

Chen Jincai felt as if he had been hit by a stick. Zhuangzi? That hooligan?

He had never thought that he would one day be a worker under a hooligan that he had once looked down on. Wasn’t this cutting his heart?

He retracted his thoughts. This girl from the Gu family was simply too cruel.

Gu Yundong saw the change in his expression and asked with a smile, “Brother Chen, are you unwilling? But if our shop needs a shopkeeper, they have to start as a shop assistant. Even Shopkeeper Zheng used to be a shop assistant in the prefecture city for a few years.”

Chen Liang thought about it and nodded.

“Alright, but you still have to wait for a few days. I’ll come and look for Brother Chen then.” Gu Yundong had already stood up. “Uncle Chen, we’ll leave first.”

Chen Liang sent them to the door, paused, and walked back.

However, there was a smile on his face in the end, especially when he saw that his wife, Madam Zhou, also looked like she had been relieved of a burden. She felt at ease.

Chen Jincai’s wife, Madam Wei, was also overjoyed. She turned around and followed Chen Jincai into the house. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, “When you go to the county city, bring me along. I’ll take care of your laundry and food.”

Chen Jincai’s smile faded slightly. He frowned and said, “Why would I bring you along? I’m just a small shop assistant. When Zhuangzi was a shop assistant, did he bring anyone along?”

“Isn’t that because Zhuangzi hasn’t married yet?”

“That won’t do either. It wasn’t easy for me to find a job. Don’t make trouble for me. If I lose the job, you will have to support me. Stay at home for a few more years. When I become a shopkeeper and my salary is high, I’ll bring you there.”

Madam Wei was furious and stormed out of the room.

At this moment, Gu Yundong, who had already left the Chen family, was walking very slowly. She would occasionally look around.
