Chapter 1640: Gu Yundong Loves Face?Editor: Henyee Translations
Yang Wenli raised his eyebrows. She valued her reputation?
"How so?"
"I heard that after the Gu family became rich, all the relatives of the Gu family came to seek refuge with her. When Gu Dajiang’s sister and brother-in-law came over, his legs were all broken. Gu Yundong found a doctor in her husband’s medical center and spent a lot of effort to treat them. Later on, Gu Yundong even personally rented a house for the couple to live in. However, their son has always lived in the Gu family and was taken care of by the Gu family."
"There’s also Gu Dajiang’s brother. When he came over, he was penniless. In the end, she built a green brick tiled house in their village the moment he arrived. It’s said that it’s especially imposing and can’t be built without more than a hundred taels of silver. Although they’re still in the countryside, his brother and sister-in-law don’t have to work. They eat, sleep, and eat every day. Their lives are extremely carefree."
"By the way, I also heard that Gu Yundong built a particularly spacious road for the village. Most of the people working in the Gu family’s workshop and Gu’s are villagers from her village or nearby villages."
"In order to show her kindness, Gu Yundong is especially good to these people who work. She will give them some rewards every festive season. Those who helped her in the past, she gives them more work and money, as if she is afraid that others will say that she is ungrateful."
As the steward spoke, he felt a little envious.
Why didn’t he meet such a boss? His master’s business was extremely good, but was stingy. Other than receiving the salary he deserved, he didn’t receive any other rewards. He couldn’t get anything good even if he worked himself to death.
"Therefore, although the Gu family has a unique sugar business, they haven’t earned much money for a few years. Until now, they only have a workshop in their hometown and two shops in the county and prefecture capital."
When Yang Wenli heard this, he sneered. "That’s because she’s too stupid. She doesn’t know how to make use of such a money-making cornucopia and specially helps poor relatives and country bumpkins. However, with her personality, it’s beneficial to us."
Wasn’t she afraid that others would say that she was mean to her family? Then as her biological uncle, wouldn’t she give him a lot of benefits?
She had already helped her father’s family. There was no reason for her to ignore her mother’s.
The steward added, "By the way, there’s also a New Tea Pavilion, but it’s opened in partnership with the eldest daughter of the Nie family and the wife of the prefecture magistrate."
Yang Wenli was stunned. New Tea Pavilion was also related to her?
He had been in the Xuanhe Prefecture for the past few days, so he naturally knew about the famous New Tea Pavilion.
He did not expect his niece to have a share too?
However, when he thought of the sugar business in the Nie family, it wasn’t strange for them to open a shop together.
However, they were a three-person partnership. She should have the least status. Presumably, that shop was only in name.
Yang Wenli asked about Gu Yundong’s husband’s situation again. The steward smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this cousin’s husband is a capable person. He’s a doctor, but he’s not an ordinary doctor. He was the one who created the cowpox vaccination method that caused a commotion previously. It’s said that he even went to the capital to treat the Second Prince and showed his face in front of the emperor."
Yang Wenli said, "Oh?" His eyes began to move crazily.
This surprised him. In that case, his niece could be considered rich and powerful?
Moreover, if her husband had such a reputation, he would be even more concerned about his reputation. At the very least, his public image could not be ruined.
