Chapter 1949 Recommending the virtuous without avoiding relatives

But now, Jiang Fengshou is having second thoughts about splitting up the family business.

When he had work, his parents and brothers would at least be somewhat nice to him, but they would still try every trick in the book to get money out of him. For the past few months, when he had no work, his family had been constantly making veiled accusations against him.

He's thick-skinned and it doesn't matter, but his wife is thin-skinned, kind-hearted, and the children are young, so they don't even know when they've been bullied.

So he wants to move out, but there's a problem that hasn't been solved yet.

Jiang Fengshou couldn't help but raise his head, glance cautiously at Shu Yu, and sighed, "Master, you don't know, since my wife married me, she hasn't had many good days. Seeing her like this, it breaks my heart. Yesterday, I bought her a bracelet and it made her so happy. I really feel terrible. But my elder brother and sister-in-law are always watching over my family, and I don't know if the bracelet will be safe. If it's lost, wouldn't I have let you down?"

Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Alright, just say what you have to say. Don't make it sound like you're having a really hard time. Your roundabout way of speaking is giving me a headache."

Jiang Fengshou chuckled, “Boss, didn’t you say you were going to hire someone to cook in the backyard of our shop? I told you, my wife is very hardworking, cooks delicious food, and is also sensible. There’s no one more suitable than her.”

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. Working for her did indeed include room and board. However, Jiang Fengshou lived at home, and Zhou Tiedong rented a place after getting married, so she only provided a small subsidy for accommodation.

As for the meals, she initially wanted to ask Aunt He to come. Aunt He was still working in the small courtyard she rented. After she left Changjin Mansion, she could ask her to come to the backyard of this shop to help cook a few meals.

After all, she knew Aunt He's character very well, and she trusted her the most. However, a couple of days ago, Aunt He's eldest daughter-in-law accidentally fell and broke her leg when she went out, and she still can't get out of bed. To make matters worse, she has a young son who is still in swaddling clothes, and the house is in complete chaos.

Everyone else in the family has their own jobs, so there's not much free time for them. After considering it for two days, and seeing how messy the house looked, Aunt He finally came to Shu Yu and asked her to give up the job.

Aunt He had her reasons, and Shu Yu didn't want to force her, so she let her go back and started looking for someone else to cook.

She thought that Jiang Fengshou was a friend of women and familiar with Changjin Prefecture, so she asked him to find someone.

Who knew he would directly choose his own wife? He certainly doesn't shy away from recommending relatives.

Shu Yu frowned slightly. "At Lu Ji, we generally don't hire husbands and wives to work in the same place."

Jiang Fengshou nodded repeatedly, “I understand, I understand what you mean, sir. Don’t worry, my wife and I are both very well-behaved, especially my wife, she’s very obedient, you’ll know once you meet her. If she comes to work in the shop, she will definitely only stay in the backyard and won’t interfere with the shop’s affairs. I guarantee that I will keep public and private matters separate! I will absolutely not do anything to bend the law or for personal gain. After all, I have a family, right? I also have to think about my children. If I do anything that is detrimental to Lu Ji, you can send me to jail as you please.”

Shu Yu chuckled, "It's not that serious."

Now that we've hired Jiang Fengshou, we don't need to worry about him doing anything illegal or favoritism. If he really knew how to do things, he could have easily accomplished a lot by leveraging the Liu family's position in Changjin Prefecture when he worked at the Liu family's general store.
