Yang herself didn't have any feelings for Feng Susu, but seeing the servants in the house were too enthusiastic, she couldn't help but make guesses in her heart. However, ever since she mentioned that she wanted to sell someone last time, the servants in the house had been very polite but distant to the old lady. No matter what Yang asked, the servants kept their mouths shut and said they didn't know. The old lady was upset but had no choice but to stare at Feng Susu with her eyes wide open as she went in.
"Aunt is here. I've been feeling worse these days and can't go out. I'm hoping that you can come and see me and chat with me." Su Wenyue asked Xiaoxi to take the basket from Feng Susu's hand and said with a smile. She was really happy from the bottom of her heart that Feng Susu could come. All her previous efforts were not in vain.
"As long as you don't mind, Yue Niang, I will come often in the future." Feng Susu also found that Mrs. Han was a very cheerful and bright person, easy to get along with, and she wanted to repay her.
"Tai'er didn't come today, but he went to set up a stall?" Su Wenyue mentioned Antai. He was a lovely child, obedient and sensible.
"Yes, as long as the weather is good, Tai'er will definitely go out to set up a stall. Our family lives on the money he earns from writing letters. Tai'er is a filial son and refuses to let me take on heavy work, saying that it is not worth it and will exhaust my body." Speaking of her son, Feng Susu felt distressed but also proud.
"Tai'er is such a sensible child, but the world is getting more and more difficult now. It's probably going to be harder and harder to make money by setting up a stall on the street, and it's not that safe either." Su Wenyue heard rumors that the higher-ups had begun to reform the currency system, but it hadn't been implemented in Xinye yet. But it will be soon, and there will be chaos again. Others may not know, but she knew very well how bad things would be after experiencing those things in her previous life.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Feng Susu sighed. She and her mother didn't even have a place to live now. If they didn't find a way to make money, they would have to beg on the streets.
"Aunt, how about you and Tai'er come to work for me? The world is becoming more and more unstable nowadays. Although my place is not as rich as others, it is at least a place to stay." Su Wenyue has no shortage of people, but she can support two more people. The main thing is that she is afraid that if there is chaos outside, Feng Susu and her son will drift away to who knows where. Su Wenyue doesn't want to waste her efforts to keep so many people under her care. Besides, Feng Susu and her son are grateful people and deserve her help.
"How, how can I do this? Yue Niang, you saved my Tai'er's life. I am already very grateful. I don't know how to repay you. I can't cause you any more trouble!" Feng Susu refused without thinking. She was not the kind of person who would wait for an inch to come. How could she allow others to help her again and again? Besides, although life was a little difficult now, it was not impossible to survive.
"Aunt, I know you are a kind-hearted person who doesn't want to cause me trouble, but you have to think about Tai'er. You probably know that I heard a rumor that the court has issued a new decree, which will be implemented soon. Whenever a new decree is issued, there will always be chaos. It is really unsafe for Tai'er to set up a stall on the street, and I am afraid he will have little income."
"How could this happen? This world is so miserable." Feng Susu was a little shocked when she heard Su Wenyue's words. She said hesitantly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, knowing your character, I wouldn't have made such a suggestion. But don't worry, aunt. We don't have to sign a contract if you come here. Just live here. If something happens and you want to leave, I will never stop you. I have asked my husband to find out about Tai'er's father. You can get the news as soon as possible by living here." Su Wenyue knew what Feng Susu cared about most, so she moved An Tai and her husband out.
"But..." Feng Susu was still hesitant. She was most worried that she and her son would add trouble and burden to Su Wenyue. The Han family already had so many servants, and they were not enough to do the work.
"Aunt, please don't hesitate. I invited you here for a reason. I'm impressed by your cooking skills. Your pickling skills are really good. I've never tasted anything better. I want the people around me to learn from you, but I'm afraid you won't agree. In a word, I'm taking advantage of you. Please don't blame me for taking advantage of your skills." Su Wenyue knew Feng Susu's temper, and she convinced Feng Susu with these words.
Feng Susu felt much more relaxed after hearing what Su Wenyue said. Her pickling skill was passed down from her ancestors, and it was said that it was a skill that was not to be passed on to outsiders. But she didn't care about that. It was already difficult to survive in this world, and she would be willing to sell it even for some silver. But who would be willing to spend that money, not to mention that Yue Niang was her benefactor, and she could never repay her son for saving her life. If Yue Niang really liked the recipe in her hand, she would definitely give it to her with both hands.
How could someone as smart as Yue Niang not understand this? After all, she was trying to help her and her son in a roundabout way. If she refused again, it would be a waste of Yue Niang's kindness. However, it seemed that Yue Niang really liked the things she pickled. At least she could do something for her benefactor instead of eating and drinking for free. Feng Susu felt much more at ease.
"No, no, Yue Niang, you are not the kind of person who would take advantage of others' misfortune. If you really coveted my craftsmanship, you wouldn't have waited until now. You just sincerely want to help us mother and son. If I misunderstood, I would be really heartless. I have nothing to repay you, Yue Niang. This is the only skill I can show you. As long as you like it, Yue Niang, I will do my best to give it to you." Feng Susu's words meant that she agreed with Su Wenyue's suggestion.
"Then let's put it this way. I'll have someone help Aunt move all the things here. Tai'er is a smart child. He doesn't need to set up a stall on the street. He can learn more knowledge at home, or learn martial arts from his brother Han. The world is so chaotic, it's always good to have some kung fu to protect yourself. I think Tai'er's body is a little weak. Even if he doesn't learn kung fu well, it can still strengthen his body, which is always beneficial."
Feng Susu had always been worried that her son was in poor health, otherwise he wouldn't have almost lost his life to a cold last time. After hearing what Su Wenyue said, she was naturally unwilling. Even though she felt a little uneasy about receiving Su Wenyue's favor again, she still accepted it.
"That's great. We, mother and son, have no way to repay your kindness, Yue Niang. We will repay your kindness even if we have to work like slaves for you."
In the past, every time Feng Susu came, Su Wenyue would always ask her to bring some food back. But since Feng Susu and her son were going to live in the Han family soon, she didn't bring anything this time. Yang had been paying attention to Su Wenyue's movements in the yard. When she saw Feng Susu coming out and leaving empty-handed, she thought Feng Susu came to give Su Wenyue a gift, so she didn't say anything. However, looking at the light basket, it probably didn't contain any good things.
