The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 353 - 363 Opening

Chapter 353: Chapter 363 Opening

Jin Ziyuan noticed Gu Youyou’s intention and said, "Don’t worry, he is him, and you are you, I won’t take revenge on the innocent."

Hehe...

Other than a bitter smile, Gu Youyou truly couldn’t do anything.

Originally, she had thought that since they shared a common enemy, the State Preceptor of Zhuzhao Country, as long as Jin Ziyuan was willing to take out the Youying Pearl and cure Jin Zijin of the poison, they might even become friends, and then confront the State Preceptor together.

She hadn’t expected that there would be the vendetta of a son for his slain father between them.

And that wild man uncle, he really was Jin Ziyuan’s father.

She wondered what feelings a father harbored as he, day after day, year after year, personally administered poison to his own son.

But Gu Youyou knew that the wild man uncle truly loved his son; he cleaned him up meticulously, and the loving gaze in his eyes when he looked at him couldn’t be faked.

...

Having everything prepared, Jisheng Hall could open tomorrow.

On September twenty-third, it was propitious for opening businesses and moving into homes, but sacrifices to the earth and thanking the gods were to be avoided.

Jisheng Hall in Lingnan finally opened. Gu Youyou had only managed to recruit one attendant for now, preferring quality over quantity. She wasn’t in a rush; it was fine to start the business like this.

Even though they had no foundations in Lingnan, because the house was situated in a premium triangular location, it still attracted quite a few neighbors looking on curiously.

In addition to the sign over the door, another sign was erected and also covered with red cloth.

The onlookers were abuzz.

"What kind of shop is this?"

"I heard it’s a medical clinic, opened by two outsiders. The doctor who will be consulting is a woman."

The crowd was surprised, "A woman practicing medicine? Can she be trusted?"

Someone laughed, "If you don’t trust her, then don’t go to her for treatment, right? An outsider with no reputation at all, this is just fooling around. I tell you, it’ll open today and close within a month. They really think they’re Divine Doctors or something, an outsider and a woman at that, daring to open a clinic in Lingnan City."

Gu Youyou’s ears were sharp, and naturally every word fell clearly into them. She just smiled and busied herself with the opening arrangements.

"Ay, look, there isn’t even a single person here to celebrate, just opening quietly like this?"

"They are outsiders, and they don’t have acquaintances here, naturally, there’s no one to celebrate."

"Then they really don’t understand the ways of the world too much, even if they are outsiders, they could still get to know their neighbors better, right? If you get familiar, wouldn’t people come to patronize the business?"

"Are you dumb? They are opening a medical clinic, even with familiarity they can’t possibly come to support the business for the sake of it."

"Even if they had a few people come to drink a cup of tea, that would still be better than being so desolate."

Just then, an inconspicuous servant appeared with a rather large box. The wrapping clearly indicated that it was a congratulatory gift.

"Oh, someone is actually sending a congratulatory gift!"

"How come they only sent a servant over?"

Upon seeing Gu Youyou, the servant said in a hurry, "Doctor Gu, this is a congratulatory gift from our Madam. Madam originally intended to come in person, but unfortunately, she caught a bit of a chill last night and couldn’t make it, so she sent me to deliver this gift."

Gu Youyou received it with a smile, "Thank you, young man. Please give my regards to Madam and wish her a swift recovery."

Did Gu Youyou not understand these subtle gestures? It seemed they had already thoroughly investigated her ancestry and realized that she was indeed just a country girl from a village, not worth making connections with.

The gift was sent only out of consideration for Jin Zijin’s face; after all, Jin Zijin was Yue Rujing’s senior fellow disciple.
