Chapter 429: A Stunning Beauty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi had planned her day meticulously, intending to be productive. As such, she had dressed in a simple yet efficient manner. She placed great importance on her appearance, believing that one’s attire could greatly influence people’s perception. After all, if one wished to accomplish great things and gain the trust of those around them, it was essential to present oneself well.

The most direct way to earn trust, she believed, was to take care of one’s appearance. A good appearance was akin to a good business card. If one couldn’t even manage their own appearance, how could they expect others to believe in their abilities?

With these thoughts in mind, she held her child and did a full turn in front of Su Shen, indicating that she wanted him to check her appearance. After all, why would she need a mirror when she had her husband? She could just ask him to look, and in the process, gauge his aesthetic sense.

Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, secured with a black hair tie. Her hair was thick, shiny, and soft. As she turned, her ponytail swayed, the ends curling together, giving it a sense of weight. It was beautiful!

Once she had completed her turn and stood still, she looked at him expectantly. He paused for a moment, then a smile spread across his face, his gaze lingering on her with a gentle warmth.

She had pulled all her hair back from her forehead, revealing a fair and radiant face. Her makeup was light, requiring no additional embellishment. Her face alone was enough to captivate, truly a stunning beauty.

Her outfit for the day was as simple as her hairstyle and makeup. She wore a white collared knit sweater paired with light blue jeans, giving her a fresh and clean look. With her high ponytail, she looked as vibrant as a youthful model featured in newspapers.

Su Shen approached her, his voice slightly hoarse but enticing, complimenting, “Very clean, very beautiful, very good.” If she hadn’t been holding their child, he would have kissed her without hesitation.

Perhaps Gu Zi sensed his restrained actions, her heart beating a few beats faster. But to avoid any awkwardness, she feigned calmness on her face, holding her breath as she said, “That’s good. Are you going back to the factory?”

Su Shen took her hand, their fingers interlacing. He picked up the car keys from the dining table and led her out, “Yes, I’m going to the factory. I’ll drop you off at Little Lin Village first.”

Feeling his large palm enveloping her hand, she found it warm. So warm that it made her heart flutter. She would never refuse his offer to drive her.

The car pulled up outside the red brick house, and Gu Zi stepped out, cradling Lele in her arms. Su Shen told her, “I’ll come pick you up later,” before driving off.

It was evident that he was pressed for time due to dropping her off, and Gu Zi found his gesture heartwarming. She stood there, holding Lele, watching until the car’s shadow disappeared before turning to walk towards her mother’s house.

Upon entering the house, Gu Zi found her mother, Mother Lin, and her sister-in-law, Li Hua, bustling about in the kitchen. The faint aroma of fresh pork wafted through the air, leading her to guess that Su Shen must have had the necessary items delivered to the Lin household quite early.

As she stepped into the kitchen, she saw her mother preparing the marinade according to the recipe she had provided, while her sister-in-law was taking out the pig’s trotters from the bag, intending to wash them again with water.

Given that they were preparing food, hygiene was of utmost importance. It was clear that both her mother and sister-in-law were following her instructions to the letter, which made Gu Zi feel quite pleased. There was a saying that good family members always bring joy to your heart, and perhaps that was exactly what she was feeling right now.

Upon seeing Gu Zi, Li Hua quickly set aside her work and brought over a low stool for her. “Sister, once we finish making these today, can we start selling them tomorrow? Should we go directly to the town for our first sale?” Li Hua asked, before fetching a bowl of warm tea for Gu Zi.

Gu Zi set Lele down to play on her own, and after finishing her tea, she also began to help with the work. After some thought, she said, “Originally, we planned to set up a stall in town, but I’ve reconsidered. For our first trial sale, let’s go to the entrance of the pig farm. We should aim to move everything over there early tomorrow morning and set up the stall.”

Gu Zi had researched the operating hours of the pig farm and realized that the workers there could potentially be customers for their marinated pork. These workers, who primarily performed physical labor and thus had high energy consumption, had stronger purchasing power than the average villagers.

Setting up a stall at the entrance of the pig farm would not only help spread the word about their marinated pork but also allow them to secure a group of loyal customers.

Li Hua, carrying a large basin of washed pig’s trotters to the stove, panted and said, “Alright, we’ll follow your plan. Gu Zi always excels at everything she does….”
