Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 237

Mrs. Wang used the previously agreed upon story and said that she had thought he was dead before, but this time when she returned to her hometown and met him, she realized that he was still alive.

“Oh, this servant has eyes but didn’t know!” Song Shiliu hastily begged for mercy.

Of course Wu Qingyi wouldn’t argue with such a little girl and just nodded slightly.

He really didn’t feel uncomfortable. He just thought of how difficult it was for them to survive. Even if there were many hardships, they wouldn’t want to tell him, which would add to his sadness.

Looking at this bright and spacious house now, although it couldn’t be compared to the one in the capital, it was not like the two thatched cottages in Batou Village, which made people feel depressed.

The girl was so vigilant, making it obvious that she had faced many hardships before.

After resting for a while and relieving the heat, Gu Yin invited everyone to go eat for the day.

The afternoon market had passed, so Gu Yin asked Song Shiliu to tell Zhou to prepare meals for them, and also let everyone know that Wu Qingyi had been found.

“This is a good thing!” After hearing the news forwarded by Song Shiliu, Chef Xu immediately went out and bought two strings of decorations, and immediately placed them at the door.

Because Song Shiliu mistook Wu Qingyi as an escort, she felt that she had done something wrong, and wanted to make up for it. She also borrowed a gong, and with the sound of crackling firecrackers, she stood at the door and knocked on the gong.

Two strings were hung without festivals, and the gong was knocked. When the guests and nearby residents heard the sound, they asked what happened. After asking, they discovered that the man of Food of Heaven’s owner had come back.

In that battle of firecrackers blasting and gong, Gu Yin and her party arrived.

“Our boss is not a widow anymore!” Song Shiliu announced the good news with a loud voice while beating the gong, “Our boss’s man is back!”

When Gu Yin showed up, everyone looked at her in unison, and they all congratulated her.

“Lady Gu, you must be overjoyed, I think you are lucky!”

“Lady Gu, your craftsmanship is good, but your man is back, so naturally someone else will take care of the business with you, so it will definitely get better!”

There was no doubt about Gu Yin’s craftsmanship, but it was much more difficult for a woman to stand up than a man in that era. In particular, some people who were not used to having a woman own food business, saying that their store was full of widows, which was very unlucky.

They were all sincerely happy for Gu Yin.

However, the so-called social death scene was scary.

Gu Yin wanted to run back for a moment, but as soon as she took a step back, her back bumped into Wu Qingyi’s arms.

“Be careful,” he stretched out his hand to hold Gu Yin’s waist, then took a step forward and stood in front of her.

At that moment, everyone’s eyes naturally focused on him.

“This is Lady Gu’s husband, what a wonderful guy!”

“What a handsome and gentle husband. Lady Gu and her mother-in-law are very lucky!”

Wu Qingyi didn’t mind being seen by everyone, and whenever anyone praised him, he would nod his head slightly to express his gratitude.

With his cover, the group finally entered the restaurant.

“Shiliu, you…” Gu Yin looked at her resentfully.

She just asked Song Shiliu to inform the staff, but she made such a big scene.

Song Shiliu immediately put down the gong and started throwing the pot, “Chef Xu bought the firecrackers and everything, but I just beat the gong!”

Chef Xu immediately said, “I asked the manager, and he didn’t object!”

Manager Zhou coughed lightly and said with an awkward smile, “I think it’s a happy event for the family to get together again, but they went overboard.”

“Forget it, forget it,” Gu Yin held her forehead helplessly, so she simply asked the man to write a notice and post it.

As soon as the notice “Happy day, 20% off today” was posted, even though it was a hot afternoon, a lot of people poured into the store.

Later, even Second Master Wen heard about it, and hurriedly sent the storyteller.

They could listen to the storytelling again, and could come to see the Wu family’s illustrious and tall son, and the store had become the same as before.

Knowing that Second Master Wen came to know, Gu Yin simply took Wu Qingyi to see Old Master Wen.

Old Master Wen was still worried about her when he heard the news that her man had returned, as she obviously had a little feelings for the rebel general before. After the general returned to the capital, there was no news from him, so he guessed that the man wasn’t good.

Of course, he also had to meet the person to see if he was worth entrusting Gu Yin to him. Otherwise even if they were married, the old man couldn’t watch Gu Yin live with an unsightly person.

When they met again, naturally, there was no need to worry. The old man sent Gu Yin out and Wu Qingyi stayed in the study to talk.

Gu Yin didn’t know what they talked about, but since the talk, the old man had become more affectionate toward Wu Qingyi.

The news spread like wildfire, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone in the town knew that Gu Yin was no longer a widow.

The sales of mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn festival had increased a bit more than the previous one. First, the reputation of ‘Food of Heaven’ was getting better by time, and more people knew about the restaurant. The reputation of the “widow store” was taboo, but since there was no such taboo anymore, naturally many became supporters of Food of Heaven.
