Chapter 261 Adopting a Son
Wu Tie nodded first and then shook his head: "Master said that there is no need to hide this matter from the boss. If the boss asks, just tell him directly."
Ye Mingzhu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "Have you asked your aunt about this?"
Wu Tie shook his head: "My aunt has a good relationship with Erya, she won't tell me about this."
Although he was young, he knew that since the Girls' Day, Erya rarely came to see her aunt, and the relationship between the two had become much distant.
Erya came to see her aunt at this time with a clear purpose, which was to work in the dim sum shop. He was afraid that her aunt would feel sorry for Erya and find a job for her, which would implicate her in the future.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Wu Tie seriously and asked, "You don't agree with Erya working in the dim sum shop?"
Wu Tie smiled bitterly and said, "Er Ya is a good person, but Er Ya's mother and grandmother, ah..."
He sighed, "Erya's mother and grandma are both hard to talk to. If Erya came to the pastry shop, they would definitely ask her to take some pastries back, or even ask her to go home and make some pastries."
"If Erya makes a mistake, I'm afraid my aunt will also be implicated."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that he was so insightful and thought so clearly at such a young age.
"I see. Go out and tell your master to come find me when she's done."
"Boss, will you punish my aunt?" Wu Tie looked nervous.
"You're afraid that I will punish your aunt, so why did you tell me this?" Ye Mingzhu looked at him with a smile.
"My master said that everyone must be responsible for their own actions. I know this is wrong, and I can't just keep hiding it. Besides, it hasn't happened yet, so will the boss not punish my aunt?"
When Wu Tie spoke the latter part, he looked flattering.
What he didn't know was that although Wu Yue didn't say it, she had already laid the groundwork. If no one stopped her, she would probably say it tomorrow.
"I know about this. Go call your master."
Ye Mingzhu didn't give him an accurate answer and let him go.
Wu Tie looked at Ye Mingzhu's face without any anger, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and went out to call Aunt Mo.
Ye Mingzhu drank a cup of tea before Aunt Mo came, her head covered in sweat.
"Auntie Mo, are you making snacks? Please sit down and have a cup of tea." Ye Mingzhu handed the handkerchief in her hand to Auntie Mo and poured her a cup of tea herself.
Aunt Mo did not take Ye Mingzhu's handkerchief. She pulled out pieces of handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the sweat off her face casually. Then she held the tea in both hands, thanked Ye Mingzhu, and drank the tea in one breath.
Ye Mingzhu poured her another glass and asked her to sit down and talk.
Aunt Mo sat down on the chair next to her and placed the plate of snacks she had just brought over on the table.
"Boss, this is the snack that Xiaotie just made. Try it."
Ye Mingzhu picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite. It tasted like walnuts and seemed to have eggs in it. It was very soft and glutinous.
She finished eating a piece and wiped her fingers: "It tastes good, it seems to have walnuts in it."
"Yes, a few days ago, I took Xiao Tie to the street and saw someone selling walnuts, so I bought some. Xiao Tie made a walnut cake with the chopped walnuts left over from making walnut crisps. We used ordinary ingredients, but it tasted really good."
Aunt Mo was very satisfied with Wu Tie in her words, with a smile on her face.
"Did Wu Tie make this snack himself?" Ye Mingzhu looked at the walnut and asked casually.
"That's not the case. When he was making it, I helped him come up with some ideas. After it was done, I asked Mo Wan to taste it. Later, I adjusted it several times before it was the walnut cake that could be sold."
Aunt Mo did not hide the fact that she and Mo Wan helped.
"Xiao Tie is still young, but he can make such dim sum. When he grows up, he will definitely become a master in the dim sum field."
The master chef here does not refer to the master chef of any particular shop, but the leader in the entire industry.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that Aunt Mo had such a high opinion of Wu Tie.
"Boss, Wu Tie said he wanted to take care of me in my old age. I was thinking of letting him marry Mo Wan. Do you think that's okay?"
While Ye Mingzhu was lost in thought, Aunt Mo threw a huge bomb, frying Ye Mingzhu to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Wu Tie and Mo Wan? Aunt Mo, they are still children?"
When Mo Wan spoke well of Wu Tie, she did have this idea, but it was just a thought, after all, the two parties involved were still young.
But it has only been a short time and Aunt Mo has also had this idea. Could something have happened during this period of time?
"I know this is unfair to Wu Tie. Mo Wan's face is injured, but Wu Tie learned the Mo family's dim sum recipe from me. Only if he becomes the son-in-law of the Mo family can I pass on all the recipes to him."
Aunt Mo said quickly, "And I see that Wu Tie usually gets along well with Mo Wan, and he doesn't seem to mind the scar on Mo Wan's face."
"Auntie Mo, I don't have any objections to Mo Wan and Wu Tie's marriage, but I'm a little confused. They're not that old, so why did you want them to get married?"
"Not now to get married," Aunt Mo waved her hands vigorously, then sighed deeply and leaned back in her chair.
"Sweetheart Shop has been doing great business lately, and there have been too many people asking about it. I won't share the recipe with anyone, but some people have set their sights on Mo Xing and Mo Wan."
"They are both still young and have scars on their faces. I'm afraid something bad will happen to them."
Aunt Mo's face was filled with disappointment. "I only have two children in this life, Mo Xing and Mo Wan. Wu Tie wanted to be filial to me, and he and Mo Wan have a good relationship, so I thought about getting them married."
"Wu Tie is talented, and Mo Wan has a powerful tongue. If the two of them work together, they will definitely be able to carry forward the Mo family's dim sum recipes and run Sweetheart Place successfully."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that Aunt Mo's goal was so ambitious.
"Does Uncle Mo know about this?"
Aunt Mo shook her head: "Old Mo discussed with me that he wanted to keep one of his daughters by his side, but the two children haven't started discussing marriages yet, so I didn't tell him about it."
Ye Mingzhu didn't quite understand what Aunt Mo wanted her to do. Did she want her to be a matchmaker?
"Boss, I want to find someone to find out what the village head's wife thinks, but I'm afraid she won't agree." Aunt Mo moved closer to Ye Mingzhu.
"I'm afraid it's not easy for me to come forward on this matter," Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment. "If I come forward, the village head lady won't be able to refuse, but I'm afraid she will have objections."
"As long as the village head lady agrees that the next boy born to Mo Wansheng will have the surname Mo, they can come up with any other conditions."
"Wu Tie is learning to make snacks from me now. From now on, the Mo family will cover Wu Tie's clothes and food expenses for the four seasons."
In a word, as long as the two of them get engaged, the Mo family will cover all of Wu Tie's future expenses. The Mo family has only one request, which is to adopt a son.
