“You!” After hearing this, Chunhong gritted her teeth and looked at him angrily.

“Haha, you look so full of hatred. You should be redirecting that to Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying.” Wang Quan said as he stood up again. “Go. I don’t care what method you use. Get into the Grassland Taste Restaurant within three days, and I’ll come to you.”

Looking at his shameless appearance, Chunhong wanted to tear him apart.

However, on second thought, she realized that her situation was partly due to Gu Chengrui and his wife. Hence, she did not refute and instead got up and left.

!!
Seeing this, Wang Quan went out and sent a man to follow her.

After leaving town, Chunhong realized that someone was following her. She quickly thought of what Wang Quan had said before, turning around to look. Sure enough, it was the person she had seen in the small courtyard.

This person didn’t avoid being seen at all, and he just followed her casually. She was shocked and scared, realizing that it seemed she could not escape.

After Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui returned in the evening, they went to the backyard to check on the chili seedlings. After confirming that they had sprouted, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Chunhong came to their door. Gu Chengrui looked at her awkward way of walking and frowned. “Miss Chunhong, you’ve sprained your leg again. You must be more careful; otherwise, it will leave behind problems in your leg if you do it too many times.”

Zhou Ying glanced at her but soon found that her situation wasn’t right. It didn’t look like she had a sprained foot; instead, it looked like…

Chunhong looked at the couple’s puzzled eyes and was shocked. She had tried her best to cover it up and didn’t expect them to see through it.

She laughed dryly. “I’m sorry to have embarrassed myself in front of you, Doctor Gu. I didn’t sprain my foot this time. It’s just that I accidentally slipped and stretched my muscles. So, I wanted to get some medicine to relax my muscles and help my blood flow.”

“I’ll give you some safflower oil then. It’s good and useful for your case.” Gu Chengrui decided. He returned to the house and took out a small bottle of safflower oil, handing it to her. “Five coppers.”

“Alright.” Chunhong took it and gave him five coppers.

However, she didn’t have any intention of leaving. Instead, she looked at them hesitantly.

“Is there anything else, Miss Chunhong?” Zhou Ying asked.

Chunhong pursed her lips and took a deep breath. “I don’t know if your restaurant is still short of people, but I want to find a job.

“By the way, I used to work as a kitchen helper in the manor of Xiahe village. I can cook common noodle dishes and am good at chopping vegetables.”

Zhou Ying felt strange. She had heard from her Sixth Aunt that Chunghong had been pestering Gu Chengye ever since she returned from the manor.

Why did she suddenly want to work in a restaurant?

She suddenly thought of the matter of Mrs. Liu asking them for the dessert recipe.

Did this matter have anything to do with Mrs. Liu and her son?

Thinking of this, she decided to be cautious and refused, saying, “I’m really sorry, but our restaurant doesn’t need to recruit people at the moment. We’ll talk about it in the future if there’s an opportunity.”

When Chunhong heard this, she was stunned. However, when she thought of Wang Quan’s threat, she could only brace herself and say, “I’m begging you. I don’t ask for much. Even if I have to do odd jobs, I’m fine, but please just hire me.”

“But why do you have to enter our restaurant?” Zhou Ying asked with a faint smile.

Chunhong looked at Zhou Ying’s suspicious eyes, and her heart trembled. Could it be that she had exposed herself? No way to calm down and deliberately held her breath. After her face turned red from the lack of oxygen, she said with a troubled expression, “You know my family’s situation. It’s not easy to support ourselves, and we don’t have much silver left.

“So I thought of saving up some dowry and then leaving some money for my mother’s retirement.”
