The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 405 The Transmigrator is Someone Else

Gu Honglian didn't care about the pastry recipes; what she cared about was how much money such a large shop could make in a day with such a large flow of people.

The parents made a mistake. They just waited in the village for their sister-in-law to come and be filial, but they didn't know to come to town to check on her shop.

And so, the second brother and his parents still wanted to divide up his sister-in-law's property, without even knowing how much property she had, yet they still wanted something for nothing.

Thinking of this, Gu Honglian asked, "Dragon Heat wife, how much money does such a big shop earn in a day?"

The aroma of pastries kept wafting into her nose, and Gu Honglian tried her best to resist drooling.

Liu Yue'e said sternly, "Little aunt, how much money the shop makes is not something you can ask, not even me."

Gu Honglian said, "Why can't I ask?"

Liu Yue'e said, "Look at why the shop is called Peach Blossom Dessert Shop. It's because, apart from my mother, the person in charge of this shop is Peach Blossom."

Gu Honglian opened her eyes wide.

Gu Taohua, this niece who is not worthy of being mentioned in public, is actually the person in charge of this shop.

She knew her sister-in-law had always doted on Gu Taohua, but she hadn't expected her to dote on her so much.

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu doted on her, but they wouldn't give her any of their property. When she got married, she would only receive some quilts and such as dowry. The family's money and land would go to her second brother and Ruinian, the male members of the family.

"Sister Yue'e, are you saying that Sister Taohua is in charge of this shop?" Gu Ruinian had not yet recovered from his shock.

"Yes."

Liu Yue'e was very dissatisfied with the two men, feeling that they had come to gather information on behalf of the old house.

Although Liu Yue'e resented Tong Huaqiong's favoritism towards Tao Hua, she still knew in front of outsiders that her interests should be aligned with Gu Tao Hua's.

"Are you here to pry into our family's business secrets or to buy pastries? If you're here to pry into our business secrets, you'd better get lost," Liu Yue'e said unhappily.

Gu Honglian was dissatisfied with Liu Yue'e's attitude towards her and said, "Da Shu's wife, I am your elder, how dare you speak to me like that?"

Liu Yue'e said, "I'm a waitress at Peach Blossom Dessert Shop. During my working hours, I only have eyes for customers, not elders. Auntie, are you going to buy any desserts or not?"

Gu Honglian stomped her foot angrily and said, "Do I need to buy from my sister-in-law's shop? Aren't you going to give me two pounds of all these pastries?"

Liu Yue'e said, "I can't make this decision; only Mother and Taohua can."

At this moment, Gu Taohua came out with a beaming smile.

When working, Gu Taohua is dressed neatly, and she really has the air of a boss.

Her beautiful big eyes swept over Gu Honglian and Gu Ruinian and she smiled, "Auntie and Ruinian came to buy some snacks?"

Gu Honglian said, "Taohua, I heard you're in charge of this shop. I'm your elder, after all. Shouldn't you be showing me some respect by spending money on pastries?"

Gu Taohua smiled and said to Liu Yue'e, "Second sister-in-law, give my aunt two catties of each of the peach shortbread and cookies from our shop. I'm giving them to her this time."

Gu Honglian smiled; Gu Taohua was indeed more sensible.

She looked around at the various pastries in the shop, pastries she had never seen before, and wanted to try them all.

So she pointed to the pork floss cake and the taro and egg yolk roll and said, "Give me some of these."

She then pointed to some novel snacks that she had never seen before and said, "These, these, I've never eaten them before. Give me some of them, Peach Blossom."

Gu Taohua smiled and said, "Auntie, these daily limited quantities have already been ordered by other customers. You can try the peach shortbread and cookies first, and come back if you like them."

Gu Honglian's face darkened. She wanted to complain to her sister-in-law, knowing that her sister-in-law was in the shop.

The thought that her sister-in-law no longer treated her like a daughter made her feel discouraged.

Liu Yue'e weighed out two jin of peach shortbread and cookies and returned to Gu Honglian's side.

Gu Taohua took the pastries and handed them to Gu Honglian. Then she saw Gu Honglian and Gu Ruinian outside and said, "Little aunt, this is a gift from me to you. Remember to bring money next time you come in. You can eat any pastries in the shop as long as you pay."

Gu Honglian thought she had misheard. Peach Blossom Desserts had so many pastries, why couldn't she just eat them for free?

How much can she eat?
Gu Honglian gritted her teeth and said, "Taohua, I am your aunt. Isn't it only right for a niece to be filial to her aunt? You even want me to buy it with silver. Do you dare to tell everyone and let them judge?"

Gu Taohua said loudly, "I'll give you some food since you didn't bring any this time, but you can't let me spoil you and make you never bring any money again. It's not easy for us to do business. If our relatives follow suit, and you come to our door today and he comes tomorrow, how will we continue to do business?"

Gu Honglian was speechless; Gu Taohua was publicly reprimanding her.

Before Gu Honglian could react, Gu Taohua turned around and re-entered the shop, telling the shop assistants outside who were maintaining order to keep a close eye on Gu Honglian and Gu Ruinian to prevent them from causing trouble.

Gu Honglian left Peach Blossom Dessert Shop grumbling.

Gu Ruinian had not spoken since he learned that Gu Taohua was in charge of the shop.

This peach blossom dessert is abnormal, extremely abnormal.

As for what was abnormal, he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it just felt like a pastry shop from a later era, unlike shops from this time.

And those pastries were no different from those of later generations.

Do cream cakes still exist in this era?

What technology should be used to make cream?
Is the person who knows this technology the same person who has mastered pesticide technology?
If so, that would be terrifying!

He was certain that the eldest son's family had a time traveler, and a very capable one at that.

Who could this time traveler be?
He was certain before that it was Gu Jingzhe, but now he was no longer so sure.

The reason is that Gu Taohua is the second person in charge of Taohua Desserts, in other words, the successor of Taohua Desserts.

Not to mention this era, even the modern world he lives in is beyond his comprehension.

In his environment, the concubines around him could not obtain any of their parents' property.

Just like in his family, his three older sisters couldn't get anything from the house.

Even a single blade of grass in his house belongs to Gu Ruinian.

Take this era for example. My grandparents doted on my aunt, but at most they spoiled her in terms of food and clothing. When it came to core assets, my aunt had no share. Even my aunt's marriage was tied to Gu Ruinian's future.

If sacrificing Gu Honglian could lead to the rise of the second branch of the family, the two elders of the Gu family would agree without hesitation, at most shedding a few tears.

Tong Huaqiong actually made Gu Taohua the person in charge.

Could it be that Gu Taohua was the time traveler? He carefully recalled Gu Taohua's behavior.

Gu Taohua is as feisty as Xiao Fang, who went to work in other places and never came back, and as confident as his female classmates who pursued gender equality. She is completely different from the virtuous and modest girls of this era.

Even the spoiled Gu Honglian dared not covet the family's wealth.

Unable to explain Gu Taohua's behavior, Gu Ruinian tried to confuse her with the idea of ​​a time traveler.
