Gu Qinghuai took some time to visit the various factories and workshops in which she had a stake. Basically, everything was on track, except for the charcoal factory, which was worried that it would not be able to sell the charcoal when summer came, and the workers were a little anxious.

According to the previous plan, Gu Qinghuai intended to open a hot pot and barbecue restaurant in the county town to promote the various uses of charcoal.

The food shop is still an investment by the entire village.

This time, except for those families who had a mortal feud with Gu Qinghuai, everyone else invested, and most families took out more than half of their savings.

They were really greatly stimulated by the dividends distributed by the brick and tile factory and the charcoal factory last time.

Gu Qinghuai still didn't want to be on the front line of the food shop business. She only provided planning and technical guidance, and then trained people to execute them.

In order to save trouble, Gu Qinghuai plans to get Shu Mingzong to join the group. With that guy on the front line, she will be much more relaxed.

Shu Mingzong was so excited that his hands and feet danced wildly: "Master, besides hot pot and barbecue shops, what other shops do you plan to open? I want to join you!"

When the master takes action, we will know whether it is effective or not!

Follow the great god and make a fortune!

Gu Qinghuai said, "I'm also planning to open a medicine shop. Do you want to join us?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Great God, I love you so much! I, Shu Mingzong, am going to rise!" Shu Mingzong twisted his body and screamed.

Gu Qinghuai glanced at him sideways and said, "You are responsible for finding a shop and someone to manage the sales, and I will provide the finished medicine."

Shu Mingzong patted his chest and said, "No problem! Leave the errands to me!"

Gu Qinghuai was very satisfied with this.

She just likes to sit still and count money.

"By the way, has Gao returned your mother's dowry?" Gu Qinghuai expressed his concern for his errand boy.

Shu Ming said angrily, "I only returned a small part of it. The majority of it was taken by my grandfather's favorite concubine, Old Gao, in the imperial capital. Next time I go to the imperial capital, I will definitely return it!"

"Your grandfather's favorite concubine is so shameless that he even has the nerve to covet the dowry of his wife and daughter-in-law," Gu Qinghuai said disdainfully.

Speaking of these things, Shu Mingzong also had a look of disgust on his face, "Master, you don't know how disgusting that old witch is. Sigh, when we get to the imperial capital, I'll take you to see it for yourself."

"Okay," Gu Qinghuai meant exactly that.

It is said that the old man of the Shu family is a member of the Third Prince's party, and she is very happy to bring them down.

Shu Mingzong was asked to take care of all the outside matters. Gu Qinghuai selected ten people from the village who were good at working, plus the five servants found by Shu Mingzong, a total of fifteen people, all followed Gu Qinghuai to learn how to cook hot pot and barbecue.

The ten people on Gu Qinghuai's side are Widow Liao, Aunt Gunzi, Cai Dabing, Peng Qiuhua, Tian Erniu, Aunt Fangkuai, Ma Youqin, Chen Fengxia and others.

Gu Qinghuai originally wanted Tangyuan to go as well, as Tangyuan was twelve years old and could do the job. But Gu Qinghuai thought about it and gave up the idea.

With Tang Dahai and Jin around, not a single penny of Tang Yuan's hard-earned money would fall into her hands, as it would definitely be taken away by them.

As long as Tangyuan doesn't get rid of her parents, Gu Qinghuai will never use her.

Gu Qinghuai didn't want Tang Dahai and Jin to get any benefits from her.

Ma Youqin and her daughter Chen Fengxia used to bully Gu Qinghuai, but after they made money from the brick and tile factory and the charcoal factory, their attitude towards Gu Qinghuai's family changed drastically. If anyone in the village dared to say a bad word about Gu Qinghuai, the mother and daughter would be the first to rush up and scratch that person.

Apart from being a little stupid and a bit talkative, Ma Youqin and Chen Fengxia are very hardworking and never slack off at work, which is something Gu Qinghuai values ​​very much.

When Widow Liao was appointed as a minor steward by Gu Qinghuai, she was so moved that she burst into tears. In addition to kneeling down and kowtowing to Gu Qinghuai, she also secretly made up her mind to help Gu Qinghuai work hard and make a name for herself.

Old Kang, the uncle of Widow Liao's husband, wanted to bring his own children in as well, but was rejected by Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai could never forget the time when Old Man Kang interfered when the brick and tile factory and charcoal factory were being invested.

Although Old Man Kang also invested several hundred coins in the hotpot and barbecue restaurant, Gu Qinghuai would never let his family get involved in the core technology.

The busy days always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifteenth day of the third lunar month. In three days it would be the day when Gu Qingshan and Shu Mingzheng would get married.

The Gu family hung red silk and big red lanterns, and pasted big red "囍" characters on the window frames and doors, creating a peaceful and festive scene.

Everyone in the Gu family is busy preparing for the wedding.

That day, Fu Yunqing suddenly came over, looking exhausted.

Gu Qinghuai expected her to come, so he took her to the room and took out the letter and the mutton-fat jade pendant.

Fu Yunqing looked at the letter and burst into tears, "Yes, it's my father's handwriting! This jade pendant is mine. Every child in our Yun family will have one!"

Gu Qinghuai looked at Fu Yunqing, considered the address, and said, "Aunt Fu, Xiao Shitou should have told you that Duoyin has passed away, right?"

Fu Yunqing was extremely sad and nodded with tears in his eyes. "Yes, it was the Zhou family who worked him to death. I will never let that family go! By the way, Xiao Huai, I heard from Xiao Shitou that I have a granddaughter."

Seeing Fu Yunqing looking at him eagerly, Gu Qinghuai went to Lingzhi's room and brought little Huhu over.

The first time Fu Yunqing saw Xiao Huhu, he was so shocked that he froze in place.

"Like, so much like! Like me, and even more like her grandfather," Fu Yunqing hugged little Huhu and cried bitterly. When little Huhu saw Fu Yunqing crying, curiosity was all over her face.

Gu Qinghuai did not try to persuade Fu Yunqing. Perhaps Fu Yunqing was too sad in her heart and it would be a good opportunity for her to vent her sorrow by crying.

Xiao Huhu suddenly stretched out his chubby little hands and wiped Fu Yunqing's tears.

Fu Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then hugged Xiao Huhu tightly and said affectionately, "Good granddaughter, grandma's good granddaughter!"

After Fu Yunqing calmed down, Gu Qinghuai took Xiao Huhu from her arms and said softly, "Aunt Fu, you can come to see Xiao Huhu anytime in the future. You will always be Xiao Huhu's grandmother."

Fu Yunqing knew what Gu Qinghuai meant. She wiped her tears and said, "Xiaohuai, don't worry. I won't compete with you for Xiao Huhu. I don't have the qualifications. I can't even protect my own son. What qualifications do I have to compete with you for Xiao Huhu?"

Gu Qinghuai: "You can come to see her anytime, or you can just stay at my house. In a few months, my large mansion with six entrances will be completed, so there will be plenty of room to live."

Fu Yunqing was embarrassed, she shook her head, "I believe you can take good care of Xiao Huhu, I will visit her often."

"You're welcome anytime," Gu Qinghuai nodded. She thought for a moment and asked, "Aunt Fu, who is Duoyin's biological father? Why did you want to give Duoyin away back then?"

Gu Qinghuai felt that she was Zhou Duoqin's "wife" after all, and she had the right to know about her late husband's life experience.

Seeing that the doors and windows were closed, Fu Yunqing moved his chair towards Gu Qinghuai, intending to tell her everything.
