Chapter 224 Different Opinions
Zi Ye knelt down with her head on the ground.
"Ma'am, I'd like to go out and show you the shop."
"Do you want to work in the shop?" Mr. Lin's voice was unrecognizable.
"I have followed Madam for so many years and have learned a lot. I am willing to help Madam share her worries." Zi Ye did not look up, but his voice was full of longing.
"Have you thought it through? By my side, you're a maid, but in the shop, you can only start as an apprentice."
Zi Ye raised her head suddenly: "Start as an apprentice?"
"You've been with me for many years and have done a pretty good job, but there's still a big difference between this and working in a shop. If you want to work in a shop, you can only start as an apprentice." Mr. Lin said with a stern face.
Zi Ye bit her lower lip tightly until she could taste the taste of rust in her mouth before she spoke: "Madam, I am willing to start as an apprentice, but can I learn how to make pastries from Madam Mo?"
"Madam, I have been by your side for many years. You have always been very kind to me, treating me like your own sister. I would like to work for you in the shop. I would like to be the head manager. Please give me a chance, Madam?"
Zi Ye's eyes were full of sincerity: "Over the years, I have watched you turn your small shop into a big shop, and I also learned how to use an abacus and keep accounts from you. Believe me, I will watch carefully and not embarrass you."
The coldness on Lin Dongjia's face faded. She didn't expect Zi Ye to have such ambition.
However, she sighed: "Zi Ye, do you know how many female shopkeepers there are in all the shops of the Lin family?"
Zi Ye's body trembled, she bit her lower lip tightly, and uttered after a while: "There is only one."
"Then do you know how much Manager Feng has paid to become the manager? It's not easy to be the manager." Mrs. Lin said this entirely for Zi Ye's own good. Her background and knowledge are a hundred times better than Zi Ye's, but she is still trapped in the backyard. No matter how much she likes to do business, she has no chance.
"Madam, I don't regret it. Even if I can't become the head shopkeeper in the future, I won't regret it." When Zi Ye looked up again, her face was full of determination: "Madam, I want to give it a try. I don't want to be a matchmaker in the house and then take care of my husband's children for the rest of my life."
"Okay, I'll help you." Lin Dongjia was moved by Zi Ye's last words. "If Sister Ye hasn't found a suitable pastry apprentice, I'll recommend you there. If she has someone suitable, you can go to the jewelry shop."
"As long as you do well, I will give you a chance."
Zi Ye raised her head, tears welling in her eyes. She kowtowed three times, "Madam, thank you. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Lin Dongjia looked at her red forehead and smiled: "Your forehead is red. Go down and apply some medicine. Then ask Hongdou to come in and serve you."
Zi Ye stood up and walked out. Not far from the door, she saw Hong Dou.
"Why are you doing this?" Hongdou sighed, "Isn't it better to serve the lady here?"
Zi Ye lowered her eyes: "Madam is very good, but I still have a lame mother at home. If I marry someone in this house, will my future husband allow me to take care of my mother? Only if I go to the shop and have money in my hands, even if I get married, those will be my dowry and no one else can take them away."
Hongdou sighed again, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Wipe it on. There is an ointment in the drawer of my room. It was given to me by the lady before. It works very well. You can apply some."
Zi Ye nodded: "Madam is looking for you."
Hongdou turned to leave, but Ziye stopped her, her eyes full of confusion: "Hongdou, please tell your brother I'm sorry for you."
Hongdou was stunned: "What happened between you and my brother?"
Zi Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, he will understand when you say this."
Hongdou walked into the room with a thoughtful look and was seen by Lin Dongjia.
"What's wrong with Hongdou?" she asked casually.
"Zi Ye asked me to apologize to my brother, Madam. Why do you want to apologize to my brother?" Hongdou's mother is the wet nurse of Lin Dongjia. She has always been casual in front of Lin Dongjia. She asked when she was puzzled.
"Brother Nai came to me and begged Ziye, but Ziye refused." Lin Dongjia thought for a moment before saying, "Nanny later came to me and asked me not to bother him anymore. I guess Ziye must have made some promise to Brother Nai, and now that she is leaving, she apologized to Brother Nai."
Hongdou pouted, "I saw my brother had a hairpin. He was so happy when he bought it. I wanted to see it, but he wouldn't let me. Unexpectedly, he went out happily with the hairpin and came back with a sullen face. I asked if I could help him give it to someone else, and he scolded me."
“It seems like it happened two years ago.”
Lin Dongjia thought for a moment: "It seems that it was two years ago when my brother came to see me."
"Alas," Hongdou sighed, "If I had known earlier that my brother liked Ziye, I would have helped him. Ziye always worries that no one will take care of her mother in the future. If she marries my brother, he will definitely not stop her."
Lin Dongjia didn't think so. The wet nurse didn't let him take care of his brother's affairs because she was probably a little worried about Zi Ye taking care of her own mother.
"Okay, Hongdou, let's not talk about your brother anymore. They can make their own decisions about their own affairs. Let me talk about you. I want you to learn how to make snacks from Aunt Mo. What do you think?"
"Me?" Hongdou pointed at her nose, "Should I leave the house? I can't bear to leave my wife."
Mr. Lin found it a little funny. Zi Ye was determined to leave the house, but Hong Dou was only willing to stay with her.
"Don't you love making snacks? Following Aunt Mo, you can do what you like. In the future, you can also make snacks in the shop in the capital, and be closer to your nanny and brother."
Anko flinched, "But, Mom, it's almost here."
"What did you say?" Lin Dongjia didn't hear Hongdou's words clearly.
"I asked the housekeeper to write a letter to my mother. My mother knows you are pregnant and has already come here. She will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Hongdou's voice was not loud.
Lin Dongjia glared at her: "Who else did you write to?"
"I wrote a letter to my mother, but I reminded her not to let the master know about this." Hongdou took a step back.
Lin Dongjia glared at her angrily: "The wet nurse is here, do you think you can escape?"
Hongdou pursed her lips and said nothing. Although her mother would scold her now, she would probably get beaten if her mother found out when her wife's belly got bigger. She had grown up and didn't want to take the blame for her wife anymore.
Lin Dongjia glared, but he had no other choice and was in no mood to care about Hongdou learning how to make dim sum.
Lin Dong's wet nurse is a distant relative of her mother. She has always hated to see her suffer any injustice since she was a child. If she knew that she was pregnant and still stayed here alone, she would definitely be scolded.
Thinking of this, Lin Dongjia felt a headache. She glared at Hongdou again and said, "Go and bring me some food. I have a headache."
Hongdou immediately slipped away. She also had to think about how she would explain it if her mother came.
