Su Qingluan looked at Liu Yunniang, who had a serious expression on her face: "You mean...?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to hire new helpers? Do you think I can do it?"
Liu Yunniang tried her best to remain calm, but she was still very nervous. In fact, the same nervousness was also felt by Xi Niang, the pancake seller across the street.
Last night, when Yunniang told her and the head of the household, Liu Sheng, that she wanted to find a job to supplement the family income, both she and Liu Sheng disagreed.
Ever since Liu Sheng fell and became paralyzed in bed, Madam Xi went out to earn money to support the family, and all the housework and the work of taking care of Liu Sheng fell on Yunniang's shoulders alone.
Even in the last month or so, Liu Sheng was able to sit up from the bed, take care of himself and eat, and help pick vegetables or mend clothes. This is much better than the beginning when he could hardly move his upper body, but he still needs someone to take care of him.
However, the couple's reason was not entirely because Liu Sheng could not be left alone, but because the current chores were already very hard for a thirteen-year-old girl. If she had to do any more chores, they were worried that their only daughter would be crushed by the heavy work.
However, Liu Yunniang was clear-headed: "Father and Mother, we absolutely cannot stop the treatment at Huichun Hall. Father is getting better day by day! He must not give up on himself!"
Didn't Liu Sheng himself want to stand up again as soon as possible? Even if he couldn't perform as usual, at least he could move around and do some light handicrafts, instead of being like a useless person like now, needing his daughter and his wife to take care of him!
Seeing Liu Sheng hammering his legs in anger again, Madam Xi said quickly, "Don't worry, Yunniang, I will never give up the Huichuntang recipe!"
"But haven't we already called in all the relatives we should borrow from?" Yunniang has grown up rapidly since her father fell ill. She's no longer the little girl who could be fooled into submission with just a few words. "If this continues, even if mother works hard to support us, there's no telling how long Daddy's treatment can last."
What's more, according to Yagyu's current recovery speed, let alone whether he can recover to the level where he can move freely at the beginning, even if he can, the length of the treatment is unpredictable.
"Now I just need to prepare food and clean bedding for Dad, and I can be out for at least an hour or two," Yunniang analyzed calmly. "The family I'm interested in seems reasonable and will definitely be accommodating!"
Mrs. Xi had initially wanted to call Liu Yunniang naive, but when she heard her daughter describe the "young master," it sounded increasingly familiar. When she learned it was Su Qingluan's family, she felt a great deal more at ease. She had gotten to know the three members of the Su family, and they were indeed worthy of friendship.
Although Liu Sheng felt sorry for his daughter, he also understood that his quick recovery was the key to solving the family's livelihood problems. So he just sighed and said, "My daughter has to suffer so much."
He is obviously the father, but he lets his daughter go out and run around for him.
So after Liu Sheng and Xi Niang both nodded, Liu Yunniang came to find Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan introduced her parents, "This is Liu Yunniang. She said she wanted to help out at our sewer stall!"
Seeing Su Guangfu and Yang looking at her, Liu Yunniang stepped forward and introduced herself gracefully: "I am Madam Xi's daughter. I am thirteen years old this year, just like Qingluan."
Yunniang was a girl after all, and Su Guangfu knew that as a grown man, it was not appropriate for him to speak, so he lowered his head, turned his gaze to the other side, and packed up his stall.
Yang stepped forward and sized Yunniang up. "As expected of Madam Xi's daughter, she exudes such energy and spirit!" She then smacked Madam Xi, who was busy buying pancakes across from her. "Making offal soup is no small feat. Besides, why don't you help Madam Xi run the pancake stall?"
There was no particular malice in Yang's question; she was simply curious.
Yunniang was also very frank: "Aniang, these pancakes are enough to sell all day, and there are always a few left over. I won't make much more money if I help."
Seeing her frankness, the three members of the Su family didn't feel any discomfort. Everyone was busy, so why not speak frankly, even if it meant speaking bluntly? Wasn't it better than those idiot teammates who played tricks on you, hiding their ulterior motives and then unexpectedly giving you a hard time?
Yang had also vaguely heard about the difficulties faced by Xi Niang's family and felt sorry for this girl, who was the same age as her own daughter. So she decided to make the decision to marry Liu Yunniang.
However, after a period of subtle changes, whenever the Su family makes any important decisions, Su Qingluan is usually the first person to make the final decision. If it is something she is not good at, it will be Su Guangfu or Yang's turn to make the final decision.
So Yang looked at Su Qingluan to see what her daughter's prospects were.
Su Qingluan didn't agree, but she didn't reject it either. She just said, "It's knocked today. We just closed our stall and are going to the butcher to buy offal. Yunniang, do you want to come with me to take a look? The offal smells really bad. I'm afraid it's not something an ordinary person can stand."
She had seen all sorts of unusual ingredients in her past life, so it was no problem for her to handle them. But Liu Yunniang was only thirteen, and she wanted to let the other party see the real "working environment" before making a decision. If he couldn't handle it, without signing a contract, Liu Yunniang wouldn't be held responsible.
Liu Yunniang, on the other hand, smiled bitterly inwardly: Ever since her father became paralyzed in bed, she had to take care of him every day. Although at the beginning, her mother would take care of her father before going out to work, but over time, various unexpected situations would arise.
At the beginning, Yagyu had basically no feeling in his whole body, so he naturally didn't know when he had physical needs, and he always made a mess on his bed.
She cried and complained, but looking at her mother who was working hard to support the family and her father who was full of guilt, she silently took over the task of taking care of her father.
Now it's just the offal of livestock, what's so scary or disgusting about it?
However, Yunniang still underestimated the power of sewage as a "natural biological weapon" - especially the large amount of sewage piled up like a mountain in front of her, much of which was slowly flowing down with blood. Liu Yunniang still felt a little numb on the top of her head.
If Su Qingluan knew how she felt at the moment, she would definitely give her a very appropriate four-character adjective - her scalp was exploding.
"How...can you still accept it?" After Yunniang suppressed the strong feeling of nausea, Su Qingluan asked, "You have to deal with this filth every day."
Liu Yunniang's dark complexion had turned a little pale due to the intense discomfort, but she still nodded, her tone very firm: "Qingluan, I'll do this job."
