I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

Gu Yichen glanced at him, and the man's expression froze, and he continued speaking stiffly.

"After waking up, his personality changed drastically. Moreover, Bai Qingyao actually started going to the beach to pry oysters, and even brought people from Dayuan Village with her..."

This matter left him a little confused. If it were the Bai Qingyao of the past, she would never have done such a thing.

Besides, Bai Qingyao can't cook and is lazy and eats all day long...

Since he could think of this, Gu Yichen naturally thought of it too.

"master……"

Jingyun lowered his head and dared not speak.

"I understand. You can leave first."

Gu Yichen finished speaking, but Jingyun didn't leave. He glanced at her sideways and asked, "What? Is there anything else?"

"Master...that Xiaobai..."

Speaking of this, Jingyun couldn't help but have a headache. Ever since the master left the mountain, Xiaobai has been howling like a ghost three times a day, and never the same thing twice!

He is the most unlucky one. In addition to working for his master, he also has to follow Xiaobai all over the mountain. He is a shadow guard, but he has to run all over the mountain with a wolf!

Even if he knows Qinggong, he can't use it like this!

Gu Yichen raised his eyes and said, "Follow it first."

Jingyun responded with a sad face, then turned and left.

At the entrance of the village, Bai Qingyao followed Gu Zhengde and walked towards a mud house that looked pretty good.

This house occupies a relatively large area in Dayuan Village. When Bai Qingyao walked in, she could clearly feel that this yard was much larger than theirs.

Fractured opened the door and walked in as if he was familiar with the place. He only spoke after entering the yard.

"Sanshu, is Sanshu at home?"

As soon as Gu Zhengde finished speaking, he heard the door curtain of the house move. Then, the door was opened and a woman in coarse clothes walked out.

After seeing Gu Zhengde, he was stunned. "Village chief?"

"Sanshu's wife, is Sanshu here?"

Gu Zhengde glanced into the yard but did not see Gu Sanshu.

When the woman, Liang Yan, heard what Gu Zhengde said, she quickly said, "Village Chief, Sanshu is out. It seems like he should be back soon."

As soon as Liang Yan finished speaking, the door was opened again and a figure walked in from outside.

As soon as Gu Sanshu came back, he saw that the door of his house was half open. He thought something was wrong. After all, when he was not at home, the door of his house was always closed, but now it was half open.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Gu Zhengde and Bai Qingyao. He paused slightly and asked, "Village Chief?"

"Sanshu, you're back. I came here today to discuss something with you."

Speaking of which, Gu Sanshu and Gu Zhengde are about the same age, but Gu Zhengde has the advantage in status and seniority.

"Ah? Village chief, let's go inside and talk."

When Gu Sanshu heard this, his expression didn't change and his tone was hesitant.

Bai Qingyao glanced at him. The first impression Gu Sanshu gave her was that he was an honest man, but he was not flexible and was not tactful in his dealings. If such a person did business, he would suffer great losses.

After entering the house, Bai Qingyao greeted him, "Uncle Sanshu."

"By the way, Sanshu, you weren't home for a while, so let me introduce you to Achen's wife, Bai Qingyao."

Gu Sanshu's pupils dilated slightly. Although he was not at home, he had heard something about Bai Qingyao. It seemed that she had changed a lot recently.

"Village Chief, Qing...Qingyao, drink some water."

Liang Yan came over with a kettle and poured water for them.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Sanshu, where have you been? Why do you look so lost?"

When Liang Yan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She put down the kettle in her hand and took a step forward. "Boss, has something happened?"

Gu Sanshu sighed and then nodded.

"I went to talk to my employer today, but they said they've already found someone new, and the business... is gone."

Liang Yan's body went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground, but Bai Qingyao quickly supported her. "Auntie."

"It's gone... What should I do now——"

Yuanlang is getting married this year, but his wife wants a betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver.

In recent years, their family has been able to earn some money by making bricks and tiles for neighbors, but this can only barely cover their family expenses.

This business was their only hope, but now... their hope was shattered, and of course they couldn't accept it.

Gu Sanshu was also a little annoyed, hating himself for not asking his employer for help at that time.

It's all his fault, he's so dull.

Bai Qingyao and Gu Zhengde finally understood that Gu Sanshu's business had failed, which was why he was so distraught.

Gu Zhengde coughed lightly, and Gu Sanshu and Liang Yan finally came back to their senses and looked at Gu Zhengde.

"By the way, Village Chief, what brings you to my house today?"

"It's like this. Qingyao is planning to build a house on the island, and your family is experienced in bricklaying and tile making, so I brought her here to ask you."

Gu Sanshu was stunned, but he didn't think much about it and nodded, "Okay."

Some work is better than no work.

Gu Zhengde glanced at him, feeling that Gu Sanshu might be mistaken. "Sanshu, the tiles Qingyao wants to make this time are not just a few, at least tens of thousands of tiles, not to mention bricks."

"Wha...what?"

Gu Sanshu was stunned and turned his head suddenly?

It seemed as if he wanted to see a joking expression on Gu Zhengde's face, but the facts told him that Gu Zhengde was not joking, and Bai Qingyao really needed such...bricks and tiles.

"Village...Village Chief, are you telling the truth?"

Liang Yan also widened her eyes in shock. She had just lost her job in town, and now... she got another big deal?

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, what the village chief said is true. I heard that you have an excellent skill in making bricks and tiles, so I came here to ask you about it."

After the surprise, Gu Sanshu and Liang Yan also calmed down.

Although this is a big business, it also requires a lot of manpower to complete, and the construction period...

"Village Chief, Qing...Qingyao, to be honest, this big business will take quite a while to run. Also, I don't have many people here...but if you really trust me, I will do my best."

"Of course I believe it." Bai Qingyao finished speaking, and then continued, "Besides, you don't have to rush. The island is currently building a bridge, and the bricks and tiles need to be transported to the island after they are made. During this period, we need to lay the foundation first."

It will take another while after the foundation is laid.

Hearing this, Gu Sanshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Liang Yan glanced at Bai Qingyao and stepped forward. "Um, Qingyao, Village Chief, you all know that bricks and tiles require money for raw materials, but my family has been..."

"Of course, this is a deposit. Please see if it's enough. If not, just tell me."

Bai Qingyao thought it was something serious, but when she heard this, she quickly took out the deposit and handed it to Liang Yan opposite her.
