Gu Shi Yi laughed heartily and said,
"I wouldn't say it's a deep bond, we just hit it off well, but... has Shopkeeper Liao agreed?"
Shopkeeper Liao nodded and said,
"Only seven or eight years have passed, it's hard to say for longer, but within this time, I can take care of it!"
"That's wonderful!"
Gu Shi Yi was overjoyed, cupped his hands toward the other,
"Thank you, my friend!"
Shopkeeper Liao returned the courtesy.
Thus, after some time, the townsfolk heard that the Liu family's attractive widow who sold wontons married the nephew of Shopkeeper Liao, who was doing business outside, and took her son to live a prosperous life. Meanwhile, the elderly Liu couple moved into a new house, cared for by Shopkeeper Liao. Seven years later, the old man passed away due to illness, and a year later, the old woman followed. The entire funeral was organized and financed by Shopkeeper Liao, earning him praise throughout the town for his generosity.
