Chapter 124 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster

After Gu Baishuang left, Gu Dahan told Tong Huaqiong the purpose of his sister's visit to find him.

In addition to discussing with him the time to rebury his parents, another thing was to lend the Gu family a donkey cart and a driver to help Gu Dahan transport wheat.

Tong Huaqiong is happy to see this happen.

In this day and age, it is too hard to rely solely on manpower. Having a donkey cart to pull wheat would make it easier and allow us to get through the wheat harvest season earlier.

Regardless of whether Gu Baishuang's move was for his brother Gu Dahan or because he hoped to bury his parents together as soon as possible, borrowing the donkey cart was like providing timely help, so Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Dahan to send some cakes to Gu Baishuang's home.

"My sister and I discussed that the date for my mother and father to be buried together is set after the Dragon Boat Festival." Gu Dahan knew that Tong Huaqiong really didn't care about his parents being buried together, but he still had to tell his stepmother out of respect.

Apart from anything else, people from the clan will come that day, and Chen Sufen has to attend as the daughter-in-law. He doesn't dare to ask Tong Huaqiong to burn a stick of incense for his mother, but Gu Dashu and others have to pay their respects to his mother's tablet.

Tong Huaqiong waved her hand and said, "Just discuss it and it'll be fine."

Gu Dahan was too embarrassed to ask Tong Huaqiong to ask Gu Dashu and others to pay respects to his mother's tablet.

He didn't dare mention it to his half-siblings in person. Gu Dashu was very angry because his stepmother didn't want to be buried in the family tomb, and he would explode if the matter was brought up.

"What do you want to say?" Tong Huaqiong asked when she saw that her stepson had something to say but didn't say it directly.

"Mom, on the day when my parents are buried together, will my second and third brothers pay their respects to my mother's tablet?" Gu Dahan gritted his teeth and asked in a hesitant voice.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Don't ask me. They are all so old now. I can't interfere. As the eldest brother, you should discuss it with them in person."

Tong Huaqiong decided that in this family, as long as the brothers did not commit any principled issues, she would not interfere in the relationship between them.

She would not bow to Gu Dahan's mother, and she could not interfere with whether Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe bowed or not.

Similarly, even if she died, she would not ask Gu Dahan to be a filial son.

......

During the wheat harvest season, there were a few staff members missing in the store. Everyone was a little hectic at first, but everything was back on track within two days.

Tong Huaqiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although everyone in the surrounding area was busy harvesting wheat and the customer flow was much less than usual, Taohua Dessert received several orders for pastries for client banquets.

Two of them are far away in Pingchuan County, and were introduced by Mr. Huang.

Tong Huaqiong was naturally willing to accept such orders that could expand the influence of word-of-mouth.

Chen Sufen went back to Qinghewan to harvest wheat. Tong Huaqiong and Hu stayed in the shop, and the oven was burning with sparks. Gu Taohua also came to the oven room to help, and finally the most important orders were completed successfully.

Everything in the store is running normally.

Especially after Hong Xiaoxi came to the store, he was even more capable than Tong Huaqiong had imagined.

After Tong Huaqiong finished her last big order in the past few days, she planned to take Gu Taohua and Gu Jingzhe home to visit as she hadn't been back to Qinghe Bay for a few days.

After all, food is the foundation of survival, and Tong Huaqiong must check the harvest of her own wheat before she can feel at ease.

She also plans to buy some good land for her family.

No matter in which era, land is the foundation of human survival. Although Tong Huaqiong has business ambitions, she will not relax in her pursuit of becoming a landlord.

The weather was too hot and Tong Huaqiong was afraid of getting heatstroke if she walked back to the village, so she asked Gu Jingzhe to hire a carriage.

Since she is the boss and the shopkeeper, she cannot be too hard on herself and should enjoy herself when she deserves.

Tong Huaqiong planned to buy a horse-drawn carriage for her family after a while. In addition to delivering cakes, she could also use it as a private car when she went out.

The vehicle that Taohua Dessert uses to deliver cakes to wealthy families is a donkey cart loaned by the Liu family as a favor. As a relative, she can't just shamelessly keep using it.

Before leaving, Tong Huaqiong bought meat and vegetables for her family.

Harvesting wheat is physical work, and Gu Dahan and his companions must be well fed so that they have the strength to work.

Tong Huaqiong was directing Gu Jingzhe and Hong Xiaoxi to move things onto the carriage when Mr. Qian, the boss of Fengle Building, came over and stuffed chicken, duck, fish, meat, bird's nest and other supplements into Tong Huaqiong's carriage.

"Boss Qian, what are you doing? You're too polite." Tong Huaqiong looked surprised.

She had discovered these days that Mr. Qian from Fengle Building would run to Taohua Dessert whenever he had nothing to do.

He even asked Tong Huaqiong a few days ago if she needed a helper during the wheat harvest season and he could lend her one.

It was simply too enthusiastic.

Tong Huaqiong thought that even though Fenglelou's cakes were now all ordered from Taohua Dessert, it was a normal business cooperation, and as the party A, Mr. Qian didn't need to be attentive to Taohua Dessert.

Considering the friendship between the two parties, it hasn't reached the level of sending bird's nest as a gift.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

It is impossible for Fenglelou to deal with Taohua Dessert because there is no competitive relationship between the two.

Moreover, even without the filter, Tong Huaqiong still felt that Boss Qian was quite generous. He also had a good relationship with other restaurant colleagues in Yanguan Town, and was even very friendly to some snack stalls.

Unlike Sushiyuan, which often attacks and kills people and does not allow competitors to exist.

Why is Boss Qian treating her so warmly?

"Shopkeeper Tong, I see that Miss Taohua has become tired and thin these days. These supplements can help her to replenish her body." Boss Qian said with a cheerful smile.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but look at Gu Taohua and frowned.

Gu Taohua grinned innocently, put the bird's nest into the carriage and said to Boss Qian, "Thank you, Boss Qian."

Could it be that Boss Qian has taken a fancy to Gu Taohua?

Considering that she had misunderstood Ma Huateng before, she observed carefully and felt that she had not misunderstood this time.

Gu Taohua's age is a good age for marriage in this era. Although she is fatter than the average girl, she is enthusiastic and lively, and her appearance is also online.

It is not surprising that Boss Qian, an old widower with half his body buried in the ground, falls in love with a young and beautiful girl.

However, Tong Huaqiong felt uncomfortable. She would never allow any old man to have any ideas about Gu Taohua, even if he was the richest man in Yanguan Town.

Even the entire Fengle Building would not be acceptable as a betrothal gift.

Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong took all of Boss Qian's chickens, ducks, fish and bird's nests off the carriage and said to Boss Qian with a sullen face, "No merit, no reward. Our family can't afford such a generous gift from Boss Qian. Boss Qian, let's talk business. If you think my cakes are good, then order them. If you have other plans, you can put them aside now."

Tong Huaqiong is not afraid of offending Boss Qian.

Boss Qian blushed at Tong Huaqiong's words and said, "I... I don't have any thoughts..."

Why are you blushing if you are not in the mood?

Tong Huaqiong glared at Boss Qian and said, "You'd better not have any thoughts on this."

This old widower is older than me. How can he have the nerve to try to get close to my mother-in-law?

Boss Qian was standing in front of a pile of chicken, duck, fish, meat and bird's nests with an embarrassed look on his face, and there was a hint of loss in his embarrassment.

Tong Huaqiong didn't even look at those things, just turned around and got on the carriage after missing the boss.

That figure and that aggressiveness made Boss Qian distracted.

Boss Qian didn't know why, but he could not forget Tong Huaqiong's bold and straightforward style when she was still selling things at Sushiyuan. Now that she was the owner of Taohua Dessert, he watched Tong Huaqiong busying around in the shop every day, and he became even more interested in her.

Tong Huaqiong naturally didn't know that Boss Qian didn't treat her as his mother-in-law at all, but came straight for his confidante. She was sitting in the carriage and secretly cursing Boss Qian for being an old fool.

"Taohua, stay away from Boss Qian in the future. He is not a good person." Tong Huaqiong warned Gu Taohua.

Gu Taohua said loudly: "I think he is a nice guy. He asked me to call him Uncle Qian."

Gu Jingzhe looked at my mother with complicated eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he said nothing.

At this time, Gu Jingzhe also hated Boss Qian to death.
