My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

147 Chapter 147 Opening (3)

After much consideration, she arranged for some skewers and three light dishes, such as asparagus, tofu, and dried eggplant with garlic.

They arranged three more side dishes, a plate of Sichuan pickled vegetables, sweet and sour garlic, and a plate of mixed radishes. The skin of the radish was crunchy, and the red color made it appetizing.

At the other end, Gu Chengrui was carrying tea and snacks to the patriarch and the rest of the people sitting in the hall. “Elders, shall we escort you to the private room upstairs?”

“No, there are limited private rooms. I think there will be more people coming in, so it’s better to leave it to the rich. Just give us more delicious food, and it’s fine.” The patriarch shook his head.

“Have these as your starter; the food will be ready in about 15 minutes.”

“Chengrui, is that Lord Zhou, the second son of the general, Zhou Huaiming?” Second Uncle Gu asked in a low voice.

“Yes, but he’s on an errand right now, so we’d better pretend we don’t know.”

“How did you two meet?”

“I’ve treated his illness once. You guys eat up; I still have to prep more stuff in the kitchen.” Gu Chengrui turned around and walked to the back kitchen.

“Don’t tell me this restaurant is his?” Second Uncle Gu looked at Father Gu with uncertainty.

Father Gu rolled his eyes at him. Gu Chengrui didn’t reveal anything, so how would he know?

However, even if it didn’t belong to Zhou Ying, it might have been Gu Chengrui’s. Otherwise, Zhou Huaiming wouldn’t have brought other officials to support them.

Oh, right, the Third Prince is guarding the Navy at Dongyang Town. Could it be that they’ve gotten in touch with the Third Prince?

The patriarch looked at them, exchanging looks, and hit the table in a bad mood. He warned vaguely, “Do what you’re supposed to do. You’ve just sunk your ship, so it’s better not to stick your heads out. Otherwise, you’ll be beaten down.”

He hadn’t thought much about it before and assumed the Qiao family bullying the Gu family was because of an old grudge. However, this time, the Qiao family’s incident implicated the former county governor and his wife’s family.

Thinking about it this way, this matter was much more complicated than they thought. It was better to have their heads down for a few years.

Father Gu nodded. He also knew something was wrong, but since General Zhou’s son was here, there shouldn’t be a problem as long as they didn’t overstep their boundaries.

In a small noodle shop diagonally across, the previous manager of Dongxing restaurant, Wang Quan, respectfully said to the young man in his twenties, “Young master, did you see them? It’s the man standing with Zhou Huaiming and the woman giving out sweets who saved Zhou Huaiming.”

“I can see that. They’re young, but they sure are capable.” Qiao Lansheng snorted coldly. The young man was Elder Qiao’s son, previously studying abroad.

“What about the thing I asked you to do? Can my mother and Lan Lan be exchanged?” he asked.

“Constable Li said that we can only exchange for one of them. Otherwise, without restraint, it would be troublesome if rumors spread when they arrive.”

“I can only change one?”

“Yes, we can only change one. Besides, he’s being watched closely by that Zhou guy. We can’t do many things, so we have to exchange as soon as possible.”

Qiao Lansheng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then let him do it according to the situation. He’ll get whoever he can.”

“Understood.” At this point, Wang Quan paused and continued, “By the way, young master, there are two workers who were previously working in our restaurant working there now. Should we get in touch with them?”

“Are you stupid? If even you know they used to be employees of the Dongxing Restaurant, how could they not know?

“Since they knew and still hired them, they would definitely be watched.

“We can’t make any moves now, at least not before Zhou Huaiming leaves, or else all of us are dead.”
