Chapter 1011: A Match Made in Heaven
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “Sure, ask away.”
Mother Su looked left and right, looking like she was hesitating.
Gu Yundong saw that it was still early, so she simply said, “Why don’t we talk inside?”
“Aye, alright. Boss Gu, please come in.”
When she entered the Su family’s house, Mother Su immediately poured her a glass of water. She was very enthusiastic.
Gu Yundong had just drunk water at Xiao Yuan’s house. She simply held the cup in her hand and asked bluntly, “Aunt, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. Su Changshun and Su Qing are helping me now. I will definitely help you if I can.”
...
However, Su Qing was different. She had been un-engaged before. In this day and age, it was not good for a woman’s reputation to be un-engaged. Many people did not care about the reason for the un-engagement. In any case, they were immediately unhappy when they heard that the marriage had been canceled.
There were also some families who took a fancy to Su Qing, but their conditions were too poor. They were either widowers or were in poor health. Or maybe, there were too many people in the family. Those men wanted to find a diligent wife to work for as a caretaker.
How could Mother Su be happy with such families?
Later on, Su Qing became a female employee of New Tea Pavilion. Needless to say, there were some families with better conditions, but their character was too bad, especially when a few families actually came for Su Qing’s monthly salary and asked her to hand over all her money.
There were also people who despised her for showing her face in work and asked her to resign after she got married to avoid embarrassing herself. However, they turned around and said that she could let others do this work. After all, there were also older women working in the kitchen in New Tea Pavilion.
Mother Su almost fainted when she heard that. These people had a good plan.
Because of this, Mother Su was a little disheartened.
Until she met Zhuangzi. This young man had a sweet mouth and upright face. He also had a job. His family was simple, and his sister was also a female employee of New Tea Pavilion. He definitely wouldn’t mind a woman working outside.
The more Mother Su looked at him, the more she liked him. She felt that he and her daughter were a match made in heaven.
As for whether Zhuangzi was from the prefectural city or the countryside, that was not important.
