"Eh, here it is." Gu Jin'an came over in response and read the contents of the contract to the four people from Old Guo's family.
The first clause stated that there should be no ill intent; the safety of all tofu and spices must be guaranteed. Should any issue arise with the tofu or spices, all those involved in the work would be held collectively responsible, compensating for the losses together and facing prison time together.
Upon hearing the first condition, Old Guo and his family were stunned; they hadn't anticipated such a strict contract.
Gu Jin'an explained, "Grandpa Guo, we all rely on tofu and seasoning spices to make a living; if there's an issue with either, none of us would benefit. For our livelihood, we must adhere to the first clause."
Gu Jin'an was quite eloquent, with a smile on his face and a gentle voice that eased the agitation and unease in Old Guo and his family.
