Chapter 586: The Richest in the Village
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the small village, the richest family was undoubtedly the Su family. Ever since Gu Zi married Su Shen, the family’s fortunes had improved dramatically. Their faces were flushed with happiness, a testament to their newfound prosperity.
Gu Zi’s life was not only better, but her family, the Lin family, also reaped the benefits of her marriage. They moved into a brick house, a luxury in their village, and Gu Zi helped them establish a successful meat shop. This sudden rise in fortune was enough to make many villagers envious.
The Lin family’s shop even made it to the newspapers. The business was booming, causing a stir among the villagers. Previously, the Lin family was barely able to meet the average economic level of the village. Now, they were undeniably the wealthiest.
The villagers watched as those who were once less fortunate than them were now thriving while they remained stagnant. This was a bitter pill to swallow. Furthermore, the success of the shop was a slap in the face to many villagers. Not only was the shop successful, but it quickly became the most famous shop in town. Many city dwellers would travel on different days just to visit, seemingly contributing to the development of the village.
Previously, city journalists had been dispatched to report on the shop. Once the story hit the newspapers, the shop’s popularity soared even more. Initially, the villagers thought that without a stall in the city, the shop wouldn’t be as successful. After all, the town’s population was limited. Would people really make a special trip just to buy meat? It seemed unnecessary.

However, everyone pretended to support Gu Zi’s venture, despite their doubts. They secretly waited for her to fail, believing that the only advantage of selling meat in a shop was that it was less tiring than running a stall. But if the shop didn’t make money, Su Shen would have to support the entire family.
Now, it was clear that the shop was making money. Some villagers said that those who thought the shop wouldn’t make money lacked vision. The shop was opened under the guidance of Gu Zi, a woman who always had a way of seeing opportunities that others couldn’t. She was a formidable woman, well-matched with Su Shen.
However, as the gossip spread, the tone changed. The villagers began to sour, claiming that Gu Zi was a scheming woman who wouldn’t be a good wife and mother to Su Shen and his children. They predicted that there would be drama in the Su family soon, with Gu Zi as the main character.
Gu Zi returned home with her three children. She greeted those who greeted her, and ignored the whispers about her shop adding poppy flowers to their meat. She found it amusing but paid no mind to the gossip.
Su Bing had taken Su Le away, leaving Gu Zi with her second son. She asked him, “How about we have pizza for dinner tonight?” Su Li, remembering the delicious pizza they had not long ago, immediately agreed, “Mom, your pizza is the best!” free𝑤ebnovel.com
Gu Zi’s smile widened as she remembered something her sister-in-law, Li Hua, had told her. She said to her sons, “Your aunt invited us to celebrate the New Year at her house. Of course, your grandparents also extended the invitation. I want to know what you think.”
She planned to ask Su Shen as well, considering his busy work schedule. But she wanted to hear her sons’ opinions first. Su Bing, holding Su Le, agreed warmly, “Of course, but it depends on your and dad’s schedule.”
Su Li was more excited, his eyes shining, “Mom, I want to go to aunt’s house for the New Year. It will be lively with many people, and we can get more New Year’s money! Should we buy some delicious food and fun things to bring over?”
Su Li began to imagine how they would celebrate the New Year at his aunt’s house. He wanted to buy firecrackers, New Year’s paintings, candy, cookies, and many other things. Celebrating the New Year with his aunt, uncle, and grandparents would be fun and festive.
