Listening to Li Decai's words, Gu Yunyan unconsciously looked at the gifts on the table.

I have to say, she liked the two pieces of lotus root powder and gilded silk fabric very much, and the box full of pearls, which would definitely look beautiful if they were made into jewelry.

However, the prerequisite for getting these things is that she has to marry Li Decai.

Gu Yunyan looked at Li Decai a few more times and felt very resistant to the thought of living with such a person in the future.

Gu Yunyan interrupted: "Master Li, I will have what you said in the future, not just after I marry you."

"You'd better take these things back. We don't dare to accept them."

Li Decai clenched his fists, his smile froze on his face, and he looked at Gu Yunyan with some resentment in his eyes.

It’s the first time, the first time in his life that he has fallen into the hands of a girl!

Gu Laoer's family are just peasants, but they are so arrogant. It's really great!

"Dad, Mom, since the Gu family is so ungrateful, let's just forget it and go!" Li Decai turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, the servants of the Li family hurried forward and took away all the gifts they had brought, leaving nothing behind.

Gu Laoer's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly followed him out, saying, "Mr. Li, Young Master Li, Madam Li, I'm so sorry, please take care."

Gu Yunyan curled her lips lightly, looking disdainful.

Only after the wealthy Mr. Li and his family got on the carriage and left the front door of the old Gu family did the second old Gu return to the yard.

"Dad, is it necessary for you to be so polite to a lowly merchant like Mr. Li?" Gu Yunyan complained dissatisfiedly.

"We are a farming and reading family after all, there is no need to curry favor with them. Besides, didn't we return the jade pendant to Master Li yesterday after Gu Yunxi was here?"

"I think that Master Li is really crazy. He made everything clear yesterday, but he still came today, and even brought his parents with him!"

Gu Yunyan couldn't help but shake her head. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Decai might really be a lunatic.

Gu Yunhong came out of the room after seeing Mrs. Wu. When he heard Gu Yunyan say this, he immediately scolded her, "Yunyan, what's wrong with you? You're calling Sister Yunxi by her name!"

"That's your cousin, and also my cousin. You should call her Sister Yun Xi."

"Yesterday, mother asked you to go to uncle's room to see him and thank sister Yunxi. You didn't go and we didn't say anything. But now you are still like this and haven't changed at all. I am so disappointed."

Gu Yunhong used to love his younger sister very much, but now, he just felt that his younger sister was always making trouble and was not sensible.

Gu Yunyan was stunned and stared blankly at her brother who kept scolding her.

Suddenly, she felt extremely aggrieved and burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu, brother, you have changed. You actually said this to me for Gu Yunxi. I won't live anymore!"

Gu Yunyan ran out crying again. Seeing this, Gu Laoer hurriedly called out, but Gu Yunhong stopped her, saying, "Dad, my sister is too ignorant. You don't have to worry about her."

"No one should go look for her later. Let her figure it out on her own. She's already grown up, if she still can't figure it out, then don't come back."

Gu Yunyan, who ran to the door, felt even more aggrieved and upset after hearing this.

She was crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. Before she knew it, she was running towards the river.

At this hour, there was no one else by the river except the fishermen. She ran over and cried loudly, but no one could hear her.

At the same time, Gu Yunxi was busy in the furniture shop in town.

"Sir, please take care. Once the furniture is ready, I will have it delivered to your house as soon as possible!"

Gu Yunxi smiled as he escorted the customer who had placed the order out. He then turned around and asked Yuan Gangzi behind him with a smile, "Gangzi, have you learned how to receive guests after following me these few days?"

Yuan Gangzi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Sister Yunxi, I feel that when you are entertaining customers, you are full of confidence. You introduce them in detail without rushing or slowing down, and your attitude is also very good."

"And most importantly, you give customers the feeling that they are making a profit. If I were a customer, I would also like to order furniture in such a shop."

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded. It seemed that Gangzi had really figured out something.

"Yes, there is a way to do business. Making customers feel that they can make money by ordering furniture from our store is one of them."

"If we talk about the one who is well versed in business, it has to be my grandfather. Gangzi, when I return to the capital, I will ask my grandfather for advice. Then I will write to you and teach you."

Yuan Gangzi was very happy and nodded vigorously, feeling that he was so lucky!

In fact, after following Gu Yunxi for these days, he already felt that Gu Yunxi was very amazing. If he could learn half of what Gu Yunxi did, Gangzi thought, he would be satisfied.

The furniture shop received a lot of orders, so Yuan and his son hired a dozen workers to help process the wood and do some menial work.

All these laborers are from Dongpo Village.

The Yuan family father and son paid them thirty cents a day, which was considered extremely high.

Those selected people in Dongpo Village were very grateful to the Yuan family and Gu Yunxi. As soon as Gu Yunxi's carriage returned to the village, the families of the workers immediately came to greet them.

"Yunxi, you're back. Here, these are some shallots that I grew at home. Use them to fry eggs for your father to nourish his body."

"My beans are so crispy, Yunxi, here you go!"

"And I have these few eggs. They are not many, but they are also a token of our family's love. Children, take them quickly..."

Several women in the village surrounded Gu Yunxi, which frightened He Dachun. He immediately stepped forward and tried to push the women away, fearing that they would offend Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi saw it and said quickly, "He Dachun, it's okay. The ladies just want to talk to me. You can take the things in first. I'll come in later."

Seeing this, He Dachun had no choice but to carry the things sent by the women into Lao Gu's house first.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Aunts, you are too polite. It's not easy for you, and your family is not well-off. Don't send me things like this in the future."

The woman smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If you hadn't opened a shop with the Yuan family and hired laborers, I, the head of the family, wouldn't have gotten such a good job. Thirty cents a day, where can I find such a good job?"

"Yes, yes, Yunxi, we all have to thank you. Thank you for giving us a job!" another woman echoed.

"My family has been almost out of food lately. Luckily, my husband went to work as a laborer at the Yuan family. Otherwise, everyone in my family would have starved to death..."

Listening to the women's words, Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "My dear aunts, your words are too polite."

In fact, she had only mentioned a few words to the Yuan family father and son that if they were looking for laborers, they should give priority to finding them from the village, and pay them a little more, as if it were helping the villagers.

Unexpectedly, the Yuan father and son were so efficient in their work that they hired all the workers from the village.
