When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 873 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man was incredibly busy that entire day! She began her work before the sun even rose in the morning, and didn't stop until nightfall.
She was exhausted from a whole day's hard work, so tired that she could hardly straighten her back.
However, when night falls and I can finally lie down in bed to rest, a warmth quietly comes over me.
It turned out that Huo Qingci felt distressed when he saw Lin Man working so hard, so he offered to give her a massage to relieve her physical fatigue.
His gentle yet powerful hands gently kneaded Lin Man's sore muscles, as if with a magical power, allowing her to gradually relax and immerse herself in this care and protection.
Huo Qingci pressed the button and said, "Manman, I'd rather we earn less than have you be so busy all the time."
Lin Man turned around and looked at Huo Qingci. "No, once you hire someone, I'll be the boss. For example, boiling hot pot ingredients and preparing various small ingredients are the chef's job. I definitely won't be involved."
Huo Qingci shook his head distressedly, "No matter how much you don't care, you still have to do the accounting, the delivery and inventory, and the search for stores!"
Lin Man sighed, "That's how business is. We have to do it ourselves. Once we're on track, we can train someone to help us so we don't have to work so hard."
"Well, then I'll find a way to get Qing Huan to come and help you after he graduates from university. Anyway, he's only in his thirties after joining the company for a month, so he might as well help you."
After a night of rest, Lin Man felt much better the next day. At 12:30, a familiar figure arrived home: her eldest son, Huo Yining.
As soon as Huo Yining saw Lin Man appear at the door, he rushed forward impatiently, opened his arms to hug her, and shouted anxiously: "Mom, you are finally back! Is Dad okay?"

Lin Man smiled and pointed at Huo Qingci, who was sitting next to his grandfather at the dining table, and said softly, "Look, your father is over there."
Without saying a word, Huo Yining threw his heavy schoolbag onto the sofa as if it were an insignificant item, then took big strides and quickly walked towards the dining table.
In the blink of an eye, he had sat down firmly on the chair.
Then, he turned to look at his father, his eyes full of concern, and asked anxiously, "Dad, there shouldn't be any major problems with your health, right?"
Huo Qingci shook his head slightly, revealing a comforting smile as he replied, "It's nothing serious. It's just that my legs and feet are still a little inconvenient, and it's a little difficult to move around."
At this time, Huo Li, who had been observing silently at the side, saw Huo Yining also came back, and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's quickly start the meal, it's getting late.
By the way, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. After dinner, let's clean up the courtyard together as a family. We can also hang a few red lanterns in the corridor to add some festive atmosphere.
Lin Man interrupted, "Grandpa, the person delivering the old tofu will be here this afternoon. We'll cut the tofu into small cubes, dry them, and then coat them with yeast to let them mold."
Huo Yining turned around and looked at Lin Man, "Mom, leave this job to me. I can let my younger brothers and sisters do the cleaning and hanging the lanterns together."
This handsome and sensible child noticed his mother's tiredness as soon as he returned home, so he said this.
