Li thought of this and was about to impart some experience on having children to Su Xiaomu in an experienced tone, but as soon as she started talking, Su Xiaomu suddenly stood up and looked embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law is cooking alone in the kitchen with no one to help. Since you have nothing to do here, I will go and help sister-in-law cook."

She hurriedly ran out of Mr. Li's room, not wanting to hear what Mr. Li said about continuing the family line.

Are you kidding me?

She and Gu Jingcheng looked disgusted with each other, so he still wanted her to conceive a child for him?

"Anyway, I've earned enough money now. Instead of listening to Mr. Li talk about passing on the family line here every day, it's better to get the profit from selling myself as soon as possible."

It was impossible to tell Ms. Li that she wanted to leave. Now the Gu family was pointing at her to make money, and Ms. Li was still thinking about her giving birth to Gu Jingcheng's child.

It seems that she still needs to discuss the matter of her departure with Gu Jingcheng, at least the matter of selling her body.

Gu Jingcheng had to go get it from Li before he could give it to him.

She planned to talk to him about this matter when Gu Jingcheng came home from his next break.

Of course, Su Xiaomu didn't know at this moment that Gu Jingcheng had already learned about her secretly opening a shop through the mouths of the academy students.

"Otherwise, the boss is very capable. She has only been in the city for a few days, and now she has the ability to open a store by herself.

I went to see it with them today, and don’t tell me, her skills are getting better and better."

Zhou Lin was eating candied haws in his mouth, and he was bragging to Gu Jingcheng while sighing with emotion.

"Do you think she is married or not? If she is married, will her husband allow such a delicate little lady like her to come out and show her face?

But if you are not married..."

Zhou Lin touched his chin: "Do you think I'm worthy of her?"

"In this case, you can keep it and go back to ask your father."

Gu Jingcheng put down the book at hand and went to bed to rest.

His face was livid, and his voice was choking.

Zhou Lin was so offended that he didn't react for a while. Later, he said dryly and aggrievedly: "You must have taken some medicine today. I just fell in love with a little lady and wanted to chat with you for a few words."

"Then you have to ask this lady if she has a crush on you."

Gu Jingcheng had no intention of answering Zhou Lin's questions. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Hmph, I think you were aroused by that tigress of yours last time you went back. I will definitely not be as unlucky as you in the future, marrying a girl I don't like."

Zhou Lin tilted his head and ate the candy seriously.

Su Xiaomu opened the store early the next day. Not only did she have to prepare the ice powder for the college students, but she also had to prepare for opening the store later. It was the busiest time of the day.

"Ruotong, when guests come later, remember to help me entertain them. I taught you what to say yesterday."

Su Xiaomu was rubbing the noodles in her hands while thinking about training Gu Ruotong, but before she could reply, an uninvited guest appeared in front of her.

"You said the day before yesterday that you should take good care of your children, but I didn't know that what you meant by taking care of them was to make them like you and have the spirit of a businessman who learned it at a young age."

Gu Jingcheng didn't know when he came. He was standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at Su Xiaomu with a cold face.

His eyes were as cold as ice.

Just one look at it makes one feel like they have been plunged into a bottomless ice cave, and it is so cold that goosebumps break out all over the body.

"Isn't it good to take care of them like this? Let them learn a craft to make a living."

Su Xiaomu was not surprised when she saw Gu Jingcheng. She knew that paper wrapping would not make a fire. Her shop was so close to the academy, and Gu Jingcheng would know about it sooner or later.

After leaving the kitchen work to her sister-in-law, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng found a corner to talk.

"Everyone here is a guest. You know my cooking is good. If there is anything you want to eat, go and order it. You can also have a portion of this restaurant. I don't charge you any money."

Su Xiaomu didn't want to make too much noise with Gu Jingcheng in the shop, after all, there were already customers coming in to eat.

"Why don't you listen to me and give up doing business?

Before, you just set up a stall and walked around the streets, but now you actually open a shop near the academy. Are you deliberately going against me?"

Gu Jingcheng's heart ached as he watched his most obedient junior, Gu Ruotong, take the menu and ask those who came to eat one by one what they wanted to eat.

Ruotong has always been the most obedient child in the family. She used to be obedient and learn embroidery under the tree with her second sister-in-law.

She had never been exposed to these business affairs and the smell of copper before.

"What does it mean to go against you?"

When she was about to explain to him that she had absolutely no intention of going against him by opening a store here, Gu Jingcheng said again.

"It's okay if you are going to be corrupted by yourself. Why lead the whole family to be corrupted? For example, my sister-in-law, she never cared about money before."

"You, Ruotong, including the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, are just a bunch of women. You stay here all day long, with so many men coming and going, so don't you think about your own reputation at all?

If Tong has not discussed marriage, her reputation has already been damaged. How do you tell her to find her husband's family in the future?"

The more Gu Jingcheng talked, the angrier he became, and his cold face was stained with a hint of crimson.

When Su Xiaomu saw such a lonely person in such a mood, she was not angry, and even found it a little funny.

"I know everything you said, but I want to ask, do you care about what you are worried about, or do they also care about it?"

Su Xiaomu looked at him, at such a scholar, the pride of the academy, and the hope of the Gu family.

She asked him word by word: "When you came from the academy, you saw so many people setting up stalls and doing business. Tell me, are they all men?"

"Whether they are men or not, does it have anything to do with you setting up a stall? If others want to show off, do you also have to show up?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't think there was any use in Su Xiaomu bringing this matter up.

At this moment, he even felt that she didn't respect the conversation between them and was talking about other things.

"That's interesting. You just told me to pay attention to other people's eyes.

Ruotong's public appearance will not be conducive to her future marriage negotiations, and now she tells me that I don't necessarily want to do what everyone else is doing.

Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, if you are like this, it is a bit too domineering."

Su Xiaomu was still very talkative at the moment, and she actually understood why Gu Jingcheng had such thoughts.

But understanding is understanding, and these trivial thoughts are nothing compared to making money.

"You are so greedy for money and don't care about life in the countryside. What are your abilities..."

"What does it mean to be greedy for vanity? Do you have to face the earth with your back to the sky to be considered capable?"

Su Xiaomu didn't want to listen to what he said anymore, so she interrupted him bluntly, with a sarcastic tone.

"Master Gu actually likes being a farmer so much, so why do you want to study and become an official?

Since pastoral landscapes can satisfy your interests, wouldn’t the height of the temple be too far away?”

Su Xiaomu saw that his expression changed slightly, and then continued to say: "Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, you look down on merchants and don't like the smell of copper in your family.

But the books you read, the words you write, the ink and pen you use, none of these do not require money to buy?
