After County Captain Jiang helped them out, a few households in Da Feng Village showed goodwill towards them. When they saw them packing up their stall to head back, they would proactively greet them: "Brother Gu, you're back from closing the stall, how was business today, pretty bustling, right?"
The one asking was Old Guo from Back Village.
Old Guo, who is sixty this year, has five sons and thirteen grandchildren. His family is thriving in numbers, but they are poor, still squeezing together in a clay courtyard, living off the fifteen acres of land they own.
He dreams of making his family wealthy. Seeing that the tofu businesses of the Qin, Gu, and Luo families were doing well, he thought of building a good relationship with them, hoping they would consider his family when they needed extra hands.
What about revenge from the Lu Family?
Pah!
His family can hardly keep the pot boiling; what is there to fear from the Lu Family's revenge?
