The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1046 - 1040: Arrange everything for them

Becoming relatives with blood ties in this life was not easy; over two lifetimes, maybe Gu Youyou was destined to be incompatible with her relatives, but nothing is absolute. After all, hearts are made of flesh; no matter how they treated her before, now everything had changed.

"Right, it’s better if everyone is alive. Sister-in-law, please don’t be sad anymore, don’t let the children get upset," Shunzi’s mother supported Huang Xiangwen, pulling her to one side.

Gu Youyou hadn’t seen Shunzi’s mother for a long time. She remembered that back in Lotus Village, during her toughest days, besides Jin Zijin, who treated her the best, this neighbor’s mother had also been kindest to her.

"Aunt Wang, thank you!"

Shunzi’s mother laughed and said, "What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you! Youyou, it’s really unexpected, you and Jin... oh, no, the Prince, have had such a twisted fate. It really hasn’t been easy."

Miss Du smiled and said, "Now that everyone is fine, let’s go inside and talk."

Lotus Village could no longer be returned to. After being washed by landslides, the whole village was filled with mud and sand, with low areas completely covered.

There wasn’t just one village like Lotus Village; several nearby villages were in the same situation, and the villagers had all been relocated to other villages.

Since the Gu Family had Gu Youyou as a relative, they naturally didn’t need to be arranged separately by the local Governor’s Office.

Three families lived in this courtyard, and Gu Youyou had bought three houses for them. The temporary residence they were staying in belonged to Miss Du, so it had to be returned.

Shunzi’s mother was a very skilled seamstress, which Gu Youyou still remembered, so she found her a job. She helped at Manxiu Building’s clothing department, making five silver per month, which delighted her greatly.

Shunzi’s father also got a job, helping with transporting goods. When he got a bit older, he would be arranged to do some lighter work.

The couple was overwhelmingly grateful to Gu Youyou.

Erya loved to eat fish. To win over his wife’s heart, Shunzi had developed a talent for cooking fish. Gu Youyou had left a lot of chili peppers when she left Lotus Village, and they had been growing them ever since. The fish, spiced with the chilies they grew in their yard, tasted even better. His biggest wish was to open a restaurant specializing in fish.

Over the years, they had been diligently saving money for this dream. Just when the savings were nearly enough, and they were planning to find a place in the town once the children were older, Qingshui Town suffered a natural disaster.

The money they had saved might have been enough to rent a storefront and open a restaurant in Qingshui Town, but a while back, when Shunzi went to inquire, he found that the price of real estate in Jinxiu City was worth its weight in gold, even more expensive than in Beijing, and their little savings were nowhere near enough.

When Gu Youyou asked what they wanted to do, Shunzi hemmed and hawed for a long time before telling her.

In their eyes, not having enough money was a big problem, but to the wealthy and generous Gu Youyou, it was a small matter.

She smiled and said, "Having a dream is a good thing. There isn’t a restaurant in the entire Zhuzhao Country that specializes in fish, especially the spicy kind. Shunzi, I love fish too. I support your idea."

And so, Gu Youyou planned to finance him to start the restaurant. However, having skills alone wasn’t enough to open a restaurant in a place like Jinxiu City, so Gu Youyou suggested that Shunzi first find a restaurant and become an apprentice to learn how they managed their business.

Miss Du had a wide network of contacts, so they left it to him to handle the task.
