"I was afraid someone would pick it up and sell it for money, so I sprinkled some medicinal powder on it," Xie Yunjiao said. "If Lai Yinfang and the others weren't greedy and didn't take my things to sell for money, there would be no problem at all. Blame her for being too greedy."
If Lai Yinfang had restrained herself a little, she wouldn't have gotten into such big trouble.
She also deliberately said that it might not be so easy to heal those people's faces, so that those people would hate Lai Yinfang even more.
"I'll have to trouble you to work overtime with me today."
"Overtime?" Xiao Zhang and Xiao Tian looked confused.
"Increasing working hours is called overtime, but don't worry, I will pay you overtime."
Although Xiao Zhang and Xiao Tian often didn't understand what Xie Yunjiao said, they didn't care. As long as they could work and get paid, that was enough.
Even though they have less work to do now, the monthly salary they receive is no less than what the men in the family earn from their work.
At first, their family members didn’t believe it and thought they were being cheated. But when they actually took the money home, they began to believe that such a good thing could really happen.
Xie Yunjiao continued to study until nightfall before she finally prepared the ointment.
She took Xiao Zhang and a few others to deliver ointment to the young ladies door to door. After using the ointment, the swelling on their faces gradually subsided and they were not as itchy as before.
"Apply it again tomorrow morning and it should be almost healed. If you're going out tomorrow night, you can use some breathable foundation and remove it as soon as you get home. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Who wouldn't be moved when seeing Xie Yunjiao working so hard for others and staying up late to deliver ointment to them?
He was so excited that he said many words of gratitude and scolded Lai Yinfang at the same time.
"Actually, you don't need to thank me. If it weren't for those expired products, your faces wouldn't be like this. Ultimately, it's all my fault," Xie Yunjiao said. "It's my poor management that allowed one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch."
Originally, these people had some complaints about Xie Yunjiao, thinking that if it weren't for Xie Yunjiao, there wouldn't be all these troubles now.
But they also knew that Xie Yunjiao was innocent, she was just feeling uncomfortable, and after complaining about Lai Yinfang, she complained about Xie Yunjiao.
Now Xie Yunjiao said it directly, apologized to them sincerely, and even made an effective ointment for them. They were moved beyond words.
All the last bit of resentment towards Xie Yunjiao disappeared completely.
When Xiao Zhang saw the changes on those people's faces, he knew that Xie Yunjiao had done a good job. They only remembered the good things about Xie Yunjiao and had probably let go of the bad things.
What a good trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife! She couldn't think of such a trick with her brain!
Seeing Xiao Zhang staring at her without blinking, Xie Yunjiao guessed what she was going to say, so she said, "Hunters often appear as prey. It's not that I don't have a way to deal with Lai Yinfang, but I don't want to do it in a small way. If I have to, I'll do it big and give her a heavy blow.
Now she is like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump anymore."
"The boss is wise."
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Tian hurriedly praised.
While they were praising Xie Yunjiao, they were also thinking that Xie Yunjiao was so smart that she must have seen all the little tricks they usually played and just turned a blind eye to them.
They think they are very smart, but in fact they are just clowns!
After delivering all the ointments, it was already late at night. Xie Yunjiao didn't feel comfortable going to Yingtian Academy to look for the two children, so she returned to Qinyuanfang alone.
As soon as she closed the door, she heard what seemed to be a sound coming from the backyard.
She frowned, thinking that this thief was so bold that he actually dared to break into her place. He was simply courting death.
As she thought about it, she took out a knife from her waist for self-defense.
She used to use a knife, but it was only used to cut and chop meat.
Since coming here, she has been using the knife more frequently, either to scare people or for self-defense.
It’s not easy to say, because she was born in this not-so-peaceful era.
During the Lunar New Year holidays in recent days, the guards in the city have relaxed a little, and many refugees have sneaked into the city. Stealing and robbery often occur.
That little thief is also unlucky. He is dead if he meets her!
She held the knife in her hand and walked silently towards the backyard.
The backyard was pitch dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
She didn't dare to hold the lantern, for fear that the thief was hiding in the dark and would come out to attack her when he saw the light.
Xie Yunjiao walked into the yard cautiously and suddenly heard a sound coming from the direction of the kitchen.
Without saying a word, she quickly rushed over there.
As I walked, I thought that the thief must be starving.
But he was also unlucky. All the food inside was eaten by her and two employees. Now it was empty and there was nothing in it.
She came to the door and saw a familiar figure in the dim light.
Hearing footsteps, Gu Huai turned his head and looked towards the door.
Xie Yunjiao hurriedly hid the knife behind her waist to prevent him from worrying and thinking something had happened.
"Why are you here?" Xie Yunjiao walked over happily.
"I was worried you'd be hungry, so I cooked some noodles for you. But since you didn't have anything else here, I just put an egg in it and added some soy sauce and peanut oil. Just eat it."
"I'm just hungry, so I won't be polite."
In fact, she was not hungry, but how could she not eat what Gu Huai cooked?
If you really can't eat anymore, feed it to Gu Huai.
This caused Gu Huai's face to blush unconsciously, and he had no choice but to eat it.
However, although he made the noodles casually, they tasted very fragrant and better than any other noodles I have ever eaten!
"Since you are here, we might as well not go back tomorrow morning. There will be the Lantern Festival tonight anyway." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Okay, then I'll accompany you to visit the lanterns." Gu Huai said.
"Ah, I'm thinking of doing business. It's not interesting to visit lantern festivals. It's more interesting to make money." Xie Yunjiao said.
Gu Huai: "..."
Forget it, I thought his wife had finally come to her senses and would take the initiative to ask him out.
I didn't expect that she was doing this for business.
"Where are you going to set up a stall to sell things from Qinyuanfang?" Gu Huai asked.
Apart from this, he really couldn't think of what else Xie Yunjiao could sell.
"No, selling that is so boring. I can sell it every day, so it doesn't matter that day." Xie Yunjiao said.
After what happened today, I'm afraid Qinyuanfang's business will get better and better, and she won't have to worry about selling goods at all.
Gu Huai smiled. He knew that a newly opened store had dealt a heavy blow to Qinyuanfang's business. He thought Xie Yunjiao would take the opportunity to promote Qinyuanfang's products and open up the market.
He didn't expect that she had other ideas, but no matter what she wanted to do, he would support her.
"It's too late. Let's go to bed first. I'll tell you about tonight tomorrow." Xie Yunjiao yawned. She was really tired after overusing her brain today.
Gu Huai nodded: "Go to sleep if you are tired. It's getting late."
