Chapter 68: Aunt Zhao's Secret
The woman Mrs. Chen brought was called Mrs. Zhao, and everyone called her Aunt Zhao. She was kind-hearted, willing to endure hardships, and capable.
When Li Yun first saw Aunt Zhao, she had dark skin and dirty hair, as if she had suffered a blow. She always smiled at people, was kind and friendly, and looked like she had worked hard.
It's quite distressing.
"Aunt Zhao, don't be polite. Madam is too polite. Just call me Xiaoyun. This is my fifth sister. Just call her Xiaofang. It's so cordial that both my parents call her that."
Yun was infected by Aunt Zhao's enthusiasm.
Aunt Zhao looked at Li Yun flattered. This was the first time she had seen such a good owner. Last time, they tried every means to squeeze her. If she hadn't been unable to wash clothes with her hands, she would have continued to do so.
of.
What Li Yun is curious about is, why is Aunt Zhao the only one making money in this family? Where is her husband-in-law? Is it possible that the whole family is counting on her to eat and drink without even working?
"Master Chen, Xiaoyun has one more thing to ask Master for help, which is to help find out which day is suitable for opening. Let's make preparations. The snack shop is about to open." The only thing Li Yun has to do now is to finish the snack shop.
Master Chen nodded, "I'll go and show it to you right now. I'll tell you later. You two can talk first."
"Auntie, who else is there in your family? I heard that you have a son who is very good at his studies. Is he studying in this academy?"
Aunt Zhao nodded and talked about her son. It was a matter of honor and she felt it was worth the hard work. "My son's name is Li Muye. He is very good at homework and my wife likes him very much. But I used to help others outside."
I don’t even dare to tell him about washing clothes. He is a face-saving person and filial. If he knew that I did that, he would rather not go to school."
Li Yun couldn't see how Li Muye was filial. If he really had the ability, he should rely on his own ability to make Aunt Zhao live a good life instead of just chirping here. Such a person is the worst.
It's annoying.
"What about your husband? Why do you have the heart to make it so hard for you?" Li Fang said it carelessly, which actually made Aunt Zhao's eyes red.
"Did I say the wrong thing? I'm sorry!" Li Fang wondered if her husband-in-law was gone, and her question reminded her of something sad.
Aunt Zhao shook her head, sighed and said: "Hey, it's hard to explain in one sentence. I'll explain it to you in detail when I have the chance. Tell me, what kind of work do you have to do? I can't take your wages for nothing and not work."
Aunt Zhao was originally a diligent person, and seeing that sisters Li Yun and Li Fang were kind-hearted, it wasn't that she didn't mention the matter of her husband-in-law, but that she didn't have the nerve to mention it.
She was framed and her reputation was ruined. Her husband-in-law divorced her. Her family thought she was embarrassed and kicked her out of the house. She was already pregnant at that time, but luckily she met her husband-in-law and he saved them.
She originally planned to give her life to her mother and son, but this man already had a family, so they kept her.
Many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Aunt Zhao still feels uncomfortable thinking about it. Her husband's wife passed away due to dystocia, and her husband seems to have changed. He is extremely cold to her, addicted to alcohol, and the family is declining day by day.
When she got down, she was worried but didn't know how to help. She felt that she was simply stupid.
Li Yun did not expect that Aunt Zhao would tell her life story. "Auntie, don't be sad. This matter was not your fault in the first place. Uncle saved you in the first place. You had a heart to repay your gratitude, but you did not do anything sorry."
You shouldn't feel stressed about his wife's affairs. And his wife died in childbirth, which has nothing to do with you? Can you stop it? You don't use their food or clothing, so what do you blame yourself for?
If he is sad and degenerates, it is because of his own inadequacy.”
What does Li Yun think about this man? He is a good person. Otherwise, how could he have kindly saved Aunt Zhao and her son, and raised Aunt Zhao's son as his own son? If it is just a kind intention, this is too disappointing.
I find it incredible. My sympathy is overflowing. I must have fallen in love with Aunt Zhao, but it is a pity that Aunt Zhao has not completely forgotten her ex-husband in her heart.
Aunt Zhao held Li Yun's hand and said: "Xiao Yun, after you said this, I feel much better. I have never blamed him. He is the benefactor of our mother and son anyway."
Li Yun looked at Aunt Zhao with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and felt that it was better to end this topic. Women are born to gossip, otherwise why would they ask so many personal secrets?
"Aunt Zhao, we plan to sell soup dumplings, flower rolls, steamed buns and steamed dumplings as staple food. The soups are rice porridge and sand soup. If possible in the future, we can also sell bean curd."
"Are you planning to sell breakfast? This is indeed good, but I don't understand what you are talking about? Where do you plan to do it? Here or at your home?" Aunt Zhao has nothing to do and can get up early in the morning to work.
But you have to cook a good meal for the man. Whether he eats or not is his business, but whether he does it or not is his own business. Both of them are stubborn people, one is more stubborn than the other.
Li Yun plans to make it at home, but the rice porridge and soup will have to be made here because it is difficult to transport the soup. "Aunt Zhao, I will teach you when the time comes. Which village is your home in? I am in Xinghua Village, where is your place?"
If it's not far from mine, you can just go directly to my house every day, and we'll be delivering just the right buns to sell. What do you think?"
"The buns will get cold, which will affect the taste. I think they can be made here, which will make them fresher. What do you think, boss? I just mentioned it casually." Aunt Zhao expressed her thoughts.
Li Yun thought about it and it made sense. Wouldn't it be a little too small here? But she decided to do this for the time being. In the future, she would prepare the stuffing at home and bring it to the shop to make it.
"Little sister, I agree with Aunt Zhao. What you said is indeed unreliable."
The three finally reached a consensus, and at this time Master Chen came over from a distance.
"Xiaoyun, the date has been set. The day after tomorrow is March 6th, which is an auspicious day for opening. What do you think? If you feel a little rushed, you have to wait until March 18th." Master Chen looked at Li Yun.
"Then it will be the sixth day of March, which is the day after tomorrow. I think that day is pretty good. We have to wait for so many days on the 18th. It's too late!" Li Yun made the final decision.
