Chapter 383 - 383: Couldn I t Muster Enthusiasm

In Daqing Village, at the Su residence, Gu Zi had been bustling about since returning from the city. She spent her days teaching Li Hua how to make spicy soup and an assortment of accompanying snacks, while also researching recipes for marinated meat.

Gu Zi had noticed that the pig farm produced a significant amount of waste daily. Pig innards, trotters, and head meat were often left over, unwanted and unsellable. More often than not, these leftovers were discarded, leading to a great deal of waste.

Gu Zi contemplated utilizing these leftovers to create marinated meat dishes for sale. This would not only reduce waste but also, if successful, bring a considerable income to the household. It was a win-win situation.

Gu Zi had also discussed with her sister-in-law, Li Hua, the possibility of selling spicy soup as the main breakfast item at their town shop. The shop wouldn’t need to close during the rest of the day; they could sell their homemade marinated meat, thus generating additional income.

Li Hua and Mother Lin could achieve financial independence by managing the shop, ultimately leading the Lin family on the path to prosperity. The mere thought of this made Gu Zi’s blood boil with excitement.

Just yesterday, Gu Zi had taken Li Hua to the town to scout for a suitable shop location. Her sister-in-law had even asked her to help think of a name for the shop.

As for the matter of securing the shop location, Gu Zi had mentioned it to Su Shen upon her return. The man had assured her that he would take care of it, to which Gu Zi responded with unreserved delight.

Today, like any other day, Gu Zi was busy as ever. However, it was Saturday, and Su Bing and Su Li were home. They had finished their homework on Friday and were now helping their mother look after their younger sister.

With someone else to look after little Lele, Gu Zi could focus more on her work, thoroughly enjoying the process.

After blanching the pigs trotters, Gu Zi set them aside. She crushed a large piece of old ginger and tossed it into the hot oil, followed by a handful of Sichuan peppercorns. As she added the pig’s trotters and began to stir-fry them, the sizzling sound of the oil was oddly pleasing to her ears. Gu Zi found herself inexplicably delighted by the noise.

The large pig’s trotters, each split into two, filled more than half the pot. They quickly turned a light golden brown under her deft stir-frying. Gu Zi scooped them out, filling two large bowls to the brim.

Just as she was about to fill another pot with water, she heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. Glancing at her watch, she noted it was only two in the afternoon. Could it be that Su Shen had returned early?

Dropping what she was doing, she hurried to open the door. To her surprise, it wasn’t her husband Su Shen who had arrived, but Gong Zhan.

Disappointment washed over Gu Zi. She had been all ready to greet her man with a hug and a kiss. Why was it him? She sighed, unable to muster any enthusiasm.

Gong Zhan noticed the change in Gu Zi’s eyes, from hopeful to dull. A corner of his mouth tightened, and a wave of displeasure washed over him.

However, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the woman before him. She seemed even more radiant and attractive than before, her figure seemingly fuller.

Although she was wearing an apron that concealed part of her outfit, Gong Zhan could easily imagine what she looked like beneath it. A vivid image of her without the apron appeared in his mind, a sight too striking to ignore.

She wore a long-sleeved shirt with a white base and orange flowers, the V-neck revealing a small patch of her fair skin. Her figure was voluptuous yet slender at the waist.

Her lower half was clad in a skin-colored skirt that accentuated her waist. The hem of her shirt was tucked into the waistband of her skirt, making her look tall and elegant, her figure graceful.

Her long hair was tied back behind her ears. With just a touch of makeup, her large eyes and petal-like lips were enough to make her stand out. She looked radiant and poised, seductive and passionate, with an inherent air of nobility in her gaze.

Gong Zhan remembered that she used to dress like this for him, hoping to catch his attention. But back then, he had thought her attire too mature, too calculating, not realizing that it was simply the natural allure of a woman.

Even now, as she stood there in her apron, looking as if she had just finished some household chores and run out of the kitchen, beads of sweat on her fair forehead, she still exuded a strong feminine charm. It was the kind of charm that softened a man’s heart upon sight.

Only now did Gong Zhan realize that this woman, who had once constantly sought his approval, was so captivating. His heart fluttered inexplicably, and a tingling sensation spread within him..
