Chapter 168 Missing
After Jiang finished her confinement and moved away, the old couple felt a little lost.
The first wife lived in the town all year round, and Mrs. Liu had just passed away; the fourth wife severed ties with the first wife and moved to live near Nanhu Lake; only the second, third, fifth and last wives remained in the old house.
Obviously only two families were missing, and there were still a dozen people left, but it felt as if the yard was half empty.
Especially the fourth room, since Jiang moved out after her confinement, their attitude towards the old house has become increasingly cold and distant.
Although Jiang never missed any formalities.
But whether it was a sincere heart or just flattery, Zhou could clearly distinguish the difference in attitude.
Zhou knew that the fourth wife was acting like this because she blamed her for being partial to Xia Youcai.
She also knew that she was biased.
But Xia Youcai's wife had just passed away, and he had no job or income. He also had to treat his illness and recuperate. Jinhua also divorced him. Xia Dalang had studied for so many years, he couldn't give up halfway...
If I don't help out, what will happen to the boss's family?
Originally, if she could smoothly persuade the Fourth House and the First House to make peace, and let the First House also take a share in the Fourth House's business, then she wouldn't have to use her own pension money.
But Jinhua, that child, never lost her temper early or late, but just at that critical moment, causing Jiang to almost lose both her life!
How can I talk to the fourth room with such a shameless face?
Although Jiang survived, she encountered unnecessary danger. Although she saved her life, her body was weak and it would take a long time to recover.
Such a huge hatred is naturally not so easy to resolve.
Before he could find an opportunity to mediate, Liu died suddenly!
At this moment, the boss must be very sad!
If I force the eldest brother to apologize to the fourth room now, it would be a bit inhumane.
But if the eldest brother doesn't apologize, the fourth room will definitely not be able to get over this hurdle in their heart.
If you can't get over this hurdle, you will never be willing to help the boss.
The eldest wife is urgently waiting for money right now... Since the fourth wife is unwilling to help, then I, as the mother, am the only one who can help!
Zhou was wavering between the first and fourth wives, but her final choice was to choose the first wife.
Zhou was a kind-hearted woman. She insisted on taking out a portion of the pension money her children contributed every month to secretly support Xia Youcai's life.
However, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. So even though she was spending "her own money", she was still afraid that her children would find out.
Although the fourth room moved back to Nanhu, it is not far away after all.
Zhou missed the locust flowers, so she strolled over to take a look.
Huaihua was very considerate of Zhou.
Every time Zhou went to see her, she would stare at Zhou with her big, bright eyes, give Zhou a big, bright smile, and babbled a few times to express her excitement and joy.
Zhou deeply felt that the person who loved her the most and welcomed her the most in the fourth room was the little girl Huaihua.
Later on, Zhou couldn't help but take a stroll along the South Lake every day and hug the locust flowers.
Jiang is a soft-hearted person after all.
Although he had decided to stay away from the old house, it was just a momentary anger, and he didn't want to be plotted against by the eldest wife.
She could see that Zhou really loved the little girl Huaihua.
Although Zhou didn't bring any food or toys for Huaihua every time she came, she just came to see her and hug her, but the look of excitement on Zhou's face every time she saw Huaihua was not fake.
Jiang then let Zhou hold the locust flowers.
Do what you should do.
Seeing that Jiang had recovered well, Xia Daohua handed over part of the pickle workshop to Jiang.
Jiang was feeling very excited and would get up before dawn every day, full of energy.
Xia Daohua has "developed" some new types of pickles, such as garlic eggplant, spicy platycodon, small fish, braised eggs, chicken feet...
Every once in a while, she would launch one or two "new products" to keep the "Daohuaxiang" brand fresh, interesting and advantageous.
Xia Daohua took the bulk pickles out of the space supermarket and put them into the secret operation room.
After a period of time, someone can take it out from the secret operation room, divide it into small portions by weight, and then package it according to different specifications.
Because she took the finished product out of the space supermarket, the so-called "pickle" and "fermentation" production process, if she said it would take a few days, it would really take a few days.
Of course, the raw materials also have to be transported to the secret operation room.
Then, Xia Daohua will stuff them all into the space supermarket.
Anyway, Space Supermarket is very generous and accepts everything. It can almost be said that everyone is welcome, but the price is also very arbitrary.
Sometimes, when the number of orders is too large and Xia Daohua cannot handle it herself, she will ask her family members to help with the packaging work.
As the business became better and better, the family became more and more tired, so Xia Daohua suggested hiring someone to do the work.
At first, Jiang was somewhat opposed to it, until she listened to the advice of her sister-in-law and gradually came to her senses.
Then she inadvertently went to the other extreme - she went from doing everything herself and not spending a penny, to quickly moving on to things that she could have hired workers to do, and she was too lazy to do them herself.
Gradually, as Jiang became the de facto boss of the pickle workshop, her status also rose rapidly, and the women in the village who wanted to come and work were all very fawning towards her.
Jiang enjoyed the flattery of the crowd with great delight and was very pleased with it.
But although she accepted all the good words, she did have standards when hiring people.
The employees she selected were all cheerful, generous, reasonable, diligent, efficient, conscientious and responsible. She felt more at ease when she ordered them around.
Seeing that Jiang was very happy during the process and didn't make any mistakes, Xia Daohua ignored her.
Jiang was used to being a hands-off boss, so when facing Zhou, she was surprisingly relaxed.
Seeing that Zhou was willing to hold Huaihua, he felt at ease and generously "delegated" the task of "looking after the child" to Zhou.
As soon as Zhou saw Huaihua's little face, she felt extremely happy.
Therefore, I don’t feel tired and happily make this trip every day.
Later, Zhou would occasionally carry Huaihua for a walk to the village, and Jiang never stopped her, but she always asked Linghua to go with her, so that she could bring back a message in time in case something happened.
Linghua is very proud of this task.
Every time Zhou took Huaihua out for a walk, Linghua would follow happily.
Zhou didn't know the real purpose of Jiang and Linghua. She thought Linghua was sticking to her, or she was jealous because she particularly liked Huaihua and always hugged her. So she smiled and took Linghua for a stroll.
A few days later, Zhou suddenly rushed to Nanhu with an anxious look on her face. Even the humming of the locust flowers could not attract her attention:
"Old Fourth's family, something bad has happened! Yujiao is missing!"
