Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 56 Giving Sister-in-law Gu Advice

After Gu Yi arranged everything at home, she made a trip back to the Gu Family on the day before going to B City.

When she arrived, it was rare for both sisters-in-law to be at the Gu Family without working.

Sister-in-law hurriedly came forward to take the things from Gu Yi’s hands when she saw her coming.

"How come you have time to come back today, is the store busy?"

Talking to Gu Yi, she directly carried the items into the living room, without looking at what Gu Yi had brought.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You must be tired, have a seat and rest, Mom and Dad are out in the field, you sit here, I’ll go call them."

She moved a stool to the side of the table and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment, sister-in-law." freeweɓnovel-cøm

Just as Gu Yi finished speaking, Second Sister-in-law Gu brought over a cup of water.

"Second Sister-in-law."

"Hey, drink some water quickly."

"Thank you, not working today?"

"No, there’s less work now, we work a few days and then take a break."

Gu Yi took out the cotton-padded jackets she brought for Gu Hui and Gu Min and handed them to her two sisters-in-law.

"You’re really spoiling these two girls, but these clothes are really beautiful."

"It’s getting colder, I’ve been wanting to come back for a visit, but I’ve been busy lately, I couldn’t come back. Huihui, Minmin, do you like them?"

"We like them, thank you, Aunt."

"Okay, we won’t be polite with you. Have a seat, I’ll go call Dad and Mom."

She folded the clothes neatly and turned to leave.

Only Gu Yi and Second Sister-in-law Gu were left watching the two children playing.

Gu Yi asked her second sister-in-law a few questions, and after a simple response, there was nothing more to say.

After asking for a while, Gu Yi didn’t want to continue either, and both just watched the children running around to play.

Fortunately, in a short while, the Gu Family parents returned.

"Mom, Dad, I’m back."

"Yiyi, how come you had time to come today? Both sisters-in-law are at home, so I went to the field with your father to turn over the soil."

After washing their hands, the Gu Family parents sat beside Gu Yi.

"I haven’t been back for a while and wanted to see you. I’m going to B City tomorrow, and since it’s getting cold, I bought cotton-padded jackets for you and Dad."

"Why are you going to B City again, is Ye Qian going with you this time?"

Hearing this, Gu’s father frowned. Last time when Gu Yi went, he couldn’t sleep for several days at home, worrying that something might happen to her on the way.

"There’s something to take care of there. This time I’m going by myself, Ye Qian has to stay at the store for business."

Gu Yi didn’t mention Li Yitian’s matter, otherwise, she’d have to explain it again to her parents.

She took out the clothes she brought for her parents and handed them over.

"Can you handle it alone?"

Gu’s mother was worried and didn’t even look at the clothes Gu Yi brought over.

"It’s fine, you don’t need to worry. I’ve been there before, and Ye Hao isn’t coming home for the New Year this year. I can visit him too."

Although they felt uneasy, Gu Family parents didn’t say anything more.

"When will you be back?"

After a while, Gu’s father couldn’t help but ask.

"I don’t know yet, it depends on when things over there get sorted out."

"It’s late today, all the good meat at the butcher’s shop is gone, so Yiyi, you just have to make do."

Gu Yi finished speaking and heard her sister-in-law’s voice coming from the yard.

"Why did Sister-in-law go out to buy meat? I’ll just eat whatever there is at home."

Gu Yi said this as she stood up with Gu’s mother and followed her sister-in-law into the kitchen.

Sister-in-law, Gu’s mother, and Gu Yi busied themselves preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Second Sister-in-law Gu was assigned to watch the children.

After eating, Second Sister-in-law Gu offered to wash the dishes.

Sister-in-law sat beside Gu Yi and took a sip of water.

"Yiyi, Sister-in-law wants to ask you something."

"Go ahead, Sister-in-law."

"Recently, there’s not much work on my end, and Huihui is growing up. The family relies on your brother to earn money, and it’s a bit tough. You’re smart, can you see if there’s anything I can do? Give me some guidance."

Sister-in-law said, a bit embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, actually, I’ve had some ideas for a while, but they’re not mature yet, so I haven’t mentioned them."

"It’s okay, just tell me what you’re thinking."

Hearing this, Sister-in-law was eager to know Gu Yi’s thoughts.

"Actually, in the city now, people have better living conditions and higher demands for furniture. Maybe eldest brother and second brother could take on some custom furniture work. While it might not be as steady as work in the village, it could be more profitable once they get started."

After Gu Yi spoke, Sister-in-law pondered silently whether this could be feasible.

"Sister-in-law, why don’t we wait until I come back and we can make a proper plan? In the meantime, if eldest brother has time, he could make some basins and barrels to store at home, and test selling the finished products in the city."

"Okay, I’ll talk to your eldest brother about this when he comes back tonight. Yiyi, thank you. You’re busy, yet you still think of us."

"Sister-in-law, we’re family, let’s not stand on formality. When I return, we can think about where to start. But, Sister-in-law, doing business is not as easy as it seems, you need to be prepared to endure hardships."

"A peasant can endure any hardship, Yiyi, I understand these principles, don’t worry."

"Okay, then I’ll head back now."

"Stay a bit longer."

"No, I haven’t packed yet. I’ll head back early to prepare well. Mom, Dad, I’m leaving now."

Gu Yi said to her parents beside her.

"Alright then, take it slow on the road. When you come back from seeing Ye Hao, find someone to bring us a message back."

Upon hearing she needed to prepare, Gu’s father didn’t keep her.

"Okay, I will."

"Next time, don’t buy clothes for us anymore. We have enough, your sister-in-law recently made us some."

Gu’s mother felt sorry, thinking it wasn’t easy for Gu Yi to earn money.

"It’s alright, just switch them around."

Gu Yi also said goodbye to Second Sister-in-law Gu.

The two kids reluctantly said goodbye to her as well.

The next day, Gu Yi didn’t let the Ye Family see her off; she went to the station on her own.

She only brought a few sets of change clothes, and wore her coat directly since it was cold and there was no need to change outerwear daily.

Upon exiting the station, she saw Li Yitian waving at her from a distance.

"Finally, I’ve been waiting for you. Come on, let’s get some food first, then I’ll take you to the hotel."

Ye Hao had specifically called him yesterday, instructing him to first take Gu Yi to have some warm food when he picked her up.

"No need, we can go straight to the hotel."

"That won’t do. This is the task entrusted to me by Brother Ye Hao. He said you probably didn’t eat well on the train, so let’s go."

Hearing that warmed Gu Yi’s heart, she didn’t expect Ye Hao to arrange this, suddenly yearning to see him.

"Let me carry your things."

Li Yitian said as he reached for her luggage.

"No need, there’s not much and it’s not heavy."

Gu Yi shifted her luggage back a bit.

"Alright then, let’s go. My car is parked outside."

Li Yitian didn’t mind and led Gu Yi out.

After eating, he took Gu Yi to the hotel.

"Rest well today, I’ll come get you in the morning."

Seeing Gu Yi was really tired, Li Yitian told her to rest well.

"Okay, thank you. Drive safely."

Li Yitian had spared no expense this time; the room was visibly not cheap.

Gu Yi washed up and went to sleep.

She was sleeping soundly when she heard someone knocking on the door outside.
