Chapter 1950 Jiang Fengshou's True Purpose
Shu Yu thought about it and realized that, just as Jiang Fengshou had said, he had little family ties since childhood, so he cared deeply for his wife and children who were now wholeheartedly devoted to him.
Even for their sake, he would be careful with his words and actions.
"Alright, since you've already made a promise, then... let her try it for a few days first."
Jiang Fengshou's eyes lit up. "Thank you, boss."
Just as Shu Yu thought the matter was over and was about to leave, Jiang Fengshou took a step to the side, blocking her way, and then chuckled.
Shu Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes this time. "What else is there? Say it all at once."
"It's like this, boss. If my wife comes too, then we'll both be employees of Lu's, right? Can we stay in this backyard?"
"Can."
“But if we do that, there will be no one to take care of my two children at home, and they may have to come with us. But don’t worry, one room is enough for the four of us, and my children are very well-behaved. My eldest daughter is ten years old and my youngest son is six years old. My wife has taught them very well. If they stay in the backyard, they will never come to the front shop. They can also help out with small tasks on weekdays. Their daily food expenses can be deducted directly from my wages.”
Hearing this, Shu Yu suddenly understood. Leaning against the counter, she said with a half-smile, "So that's how it is. You want to separate the family. But you're worried that if you move out and rent a place by yourself, your parents and brothers might come knocking on your door and cause trouble for your wife and children when you're not home. So you decided to move the whole family to this backyard. First, your wife will have a proper job, so even if they try to find an excuse to make her go home to take care of your parents, they won't be able to. Second, you can keep an eye on things. And third..."
Jiang Fengshou chuckled and made an excuse, "Thirdly, we still want to ask the county magistrate to back us up, since we are now your people."
Shu Yu was speechless. "They've set their sights on me?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare, I'm just asking my employer for help." How could anyone be so blatantly calculating?
However, the boss was really smart; he had only spoken for a short while when the boss guessed what would happen next.
Jiang Fengshou was still a little uneasy. "Boss, please help me. Otherwise, I'll be in a really tough spot. I'm your man, I..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Shu Yu raised his hand. "Alright, I agree. But the condition is that your wife comes over and tries her out for a few days. If she's suitable, she can stay; if not, I won't take her. Helping out is one thing, hiring someone for the shop is another, understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Jiang Fengshou nodded repeatedly. He was certain that with his wife's diligence and cooking skills, she would definitely be chosen by the employer.
Shu Yu waved her hand, "Okay, then you can continue with your work. I'm going to eat, I'll come back this afternoon."
"Take care, sir."
Shu Yu led Ying Xi outside and called out to Da Niu, "Brother Da Niu, let's go eat. I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Da Niu put down his work and immediately followed.
"Ayu, what do you want to tell me?"
"Let's find a restaurant to sit down and chat slowly."
The three of them went out from the backyard. The restaurant was just a turn from the back door and through an alley.
However, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw two somewhat familiar figures ahead. One of them was Wang Yue, who had just come over to deliver lunch to Zhou Tiedong, and the other was... Chen Qiu?
