Chapter 66: The Evil of the Zhao Family (XII)
Madam Li looked at the hand extended to her with a dazed look on her face.
After being rescued by the Zhao family, Zhao Wen also reached out to her and told her that he could help her.
But everything she experienced and all the hardships she endured came from Zhao Wen.
The hand that she thought gave her hope actually pushed her into the abyss.
And now there was also a hand reaching out to her, telling her that she could help her.
Should she believe it? Or is the other party like Zhao Wen, and has some plans for her? After hesitating for a moment, Madam Li finally made up her mind.
She slowly held the hand that Xu Qiuqian extended to her.
Very soft, very tender, very warm.
"Go wait for me outside."
Xu Qiuqian patted the back of Madam Li's hand with his other hand.
Madam Li responded and sent Tao Lingwan away.
"Thank you very much for what Mr. Xiao Qi said just now."
If Xiao Pingyue had not said that Zhao Chi had already established his foundation, it would have been difficult for her to persuade Madam Li.
"It's okay, as long as I can help Manager Xu."
Hearing this, Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but sigh again.
Look, how good he is at being a human being!
"I'm actually a little curious about why Manager Xu values Madam Li. I wonder if Manager Xu can explain this to me."
Xu Qiuqian was surprised: "You don't know?"
"Should I know?" Xiao Pingyue was confused.
"Don't you know everything?"
Xiao Pingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not yet at the point where I can sense what Manager Xu is thinking."
That’s true.
Although she felt that anyone could guess it, since Xiao Pingyue asked, she would be kind enough to answer his question.
"I want to take her back to my shop and cook for me."
Xiao Pingyue was stunned.
"that's all?"
He didn't believe that Xu Qiuqian's purpose was so simple.
Although he knew that the food cooked by Madam Li was indeed delicious, Xu Qiuqian had personally asked to keep her during the discussion and attached so much importance to her, so he thought Xu Qiuqian must have other intentions.
"That's it." Xu Qiuqian looked puzzled. "What else can I ask her to do? Oh, even if she can let me look after the store occasionally."
“…”
"Manager Xu is really..." Xiao Pingyue laughed in silence.
She didn't expect that it was just to get him to cook for her.
When the two were talking, there was no soundproofing, so Madam Li outside could also hear their conversation.
She was also stunned when she heard Xu Qiuqian say this.
So Xu Qiuqian was after her cooking skills? But she calmed down in an instant.
Wasn't it her cooking skills that Zhao Wen was after? In order to get her to earn spirit stones for the Zhao family, he even went so far as to put on such a show.
She looked down at her hands.
There are thick calluses on her hands. After twenty years of non-stop cooking, her hands have become extremely rough.
Slowly tighten your grip until your knuckles turn white and your nails dig into your flesh.
The pain made her sober and calm.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qiuqian and Xiao Pingyue said goodbye and left Tao Lingwan.
Summoning soft clouds, Xu Qiuqian went up to Madam Li and said softly, "Come up, I'll take you back to the store."
Madam Li responded and got on the soft cloud.
On the way back, Xu Qiuqian felt happy thinking that she would be able to eat delicious meals every day in the future, but she did not show her feelings because she thought of Madam Li.
Fly to the entrance of the Hong'an Street store.
When she saw that Xu Qiuqian's shop was on Hong'an Street, there was no change in her expression.
She was still immersed in her emotions.
Xu Qiuqian opened the shop door.
"Come in."
Bring Madam Li into the store.
While introducing: "The shelves on both sides are there, but I will be restocking the goods in a while, so I don't need to introduce the things behind the shelves to you. The second floor is where I live, and the room below the second floor is where another clerk Xiao Yi lives. Your residence is in the backyard."
Into the backyard.
She pointed to the small house on the left and said, "That's the small kitchen. You can cook there from now on."
Madam Li responded.
"The hall on the first floor is a study." She took Madam Li into the study, "This array is a spirit gathering array. You can practice in the array with Xiaoyi in the future."
After saying that, he left the study on the first floor and went up to the second floor.
"There are five rooms here." Xu Qiuqian paused, remembering what she had promised Chen Wei before. Later, Chen Wei chose the second room on the right. Since she had promised Chen Wei, she had to keep her word.
"Except the second room on the right, you can choose any of these four rooms as your residence."
Madam Li chose the room on the left that was closest to the stairs, which was the one in the middle of the five rooms.
Xu Qiuqian pushed open the door.
Yun Yi had already cleaned the room before, and she also added a lot of new furniture, so the room looked brand new and presentable.
It’s just that there is no bedding on the bed because no one is living there.
Fortunately, I had bought it and put it in a storage bag, so I took it out of the storage bag.
"You lay it yourself."
Madam Li nodded.
Seeing that Xu Qiuqian had nothing to say, she looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"Before at Tao Lingwan you said you could help me. How can you help me? What do I need to do?"
I didn't expect Madam Li to be so anxious.
But if you think about it, you can understand it.
"I can give you any resources you want."
Madam Li was stunned: "Any resources?"
"Yes, any, but these resources are not given to you for free. You need to exchange them with spirit stones. You cook for me in the store, watch the store, and do things I may ask you to do in the future. I will pay you the corresponding spirit stones. You use spirit stones to buy my resources. Are you willing?"
"Yes." Madam Li said without hesitation.
If Xu Qiuqian said that she only needed to be responsible for cooking and the other party would give her countless resources, she would hesitate.
Because that’s what Zhao Wen said at the beginning.
She said that as long as she focused on cooking, everything Ah Xing needed, as well as all the resources needed for the two of them to practice, would be provided by the Zhao family.
She was able to see Ah Xing often in the first year, and the Zhao family really took good care of her as they said, and even occasionally gave her resources that were only available to inner-clan disciples.
So she let go of her last bit of vigilance.
Later, the Zhao family allowed her to visit Ah Xing less frequently, in order to allow her to concentrate on cooking. Due to her trust in the Zhao family, her visits gradually decreased, and later she could only see Ah Xing once a year.
In order to repay the Zhao family and to let the Zhao family do their best to treat Ah Xing, she cooked day and night and did not even have time to practice.
I didn’t expect the Zhao family to…
Thinking of this, hatred surged in my heart.
Not only Zhao Chi, she also wants the entire Zhao family to be buried with Ah Xing! "Okay, let's put it this way." Xu Qiu smiled.
[When a clerk is detected in the store, whether to mark him as a formal clerk or temporarily mark him. 】
Mark it temporarily.
