Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Chapter 208 Bai Qingmiao's sudden request for help

Lu Ziren also wrote a letter in vernacular, but when he saw the naked confession in it, Lu Ziren frowned and hesitated whether to change his words. He was afraid that such a straightforward confession would scare Xia Yingying.

While he was hesitating, ink lightly flowed down the tip of the brush, and a drop of thick black ink immediately slid down from the tip and dripped onto the rice paper, spreading out like a huge ink dot, just like the words he had just written.

Well, now God has made the decision for him.

Lu Ziren tore up the paper and started writing again.

Finally, he decided to write to Xia Yingying again in the same way as before.

This time it was just a simple and warm greeting, and there was no mention of holding a wedding for her or having a baby.

Lu Ziren also gave Xia Yingying an answer in the letter about the Yang’s Pastry Shop.

If he remembered correctly, Xia Yingying wanted to make the cake shop bigger and stronger.

If we want to achieve that goal, it is definitely not enough to just make the pastries in the store now. But the old lady who came to recommend herself and said that she knew the recipe of Yang's pastries, her words are not credible.

If the old lady is really an insider of Yang's Pastry, and the secret of Yang's Pastry recipe is leaked by her, Yang's Pastry will definitely pursue the matter to the end.

If Xia Yingying accepted the secret of the recipe provided by the old lady, the reputation of her pastry shop would also suffer.

Another possibility is that the old lady was deliberately created by Yang's Pastry to curb the development of Xia Yingying's pastry shop. She deliberately leaked the secret recipe and framed Xia Yingying, so that they could get hold of Xia Yingying's handle and completely destroy the pastry shop.

So the best thing to do right now is to ignore the old lady.

But if someone is really willing to sell delicious pastry recipes, Xia Yingying can also take the opportunity to purchase them and expand the pastry variety.

However, Lu Ziren couldn't help Xia Yingying with the matter of acquiring the pastry recipe.

Lu Ziren has a special identity. Once he is openly involved in the acquisition, he will probably be made to suffer by those in the court.

There are precedents like this in Beijing.

For the sake of future matters, Lu Ziren has to be more careful.

Lu Ziren could ask around in the capital to see if there was anyone willing to sell the recipe, but generally there were very few people willing to sell the ancestral recipe, so the chances of this happening were almost slim. Lu Ziren naturally didn't hold out much hope.

Lu Zeren was very satisfied with Xia Yingying's decision, and felt warm in his heart.

Since Lu Ziren had written many letters to Xia Yingying while waiting for her letter these days, he wrote three or four pages in one breath today, and then wrote many things about the military camp, but most of them were just glossed over. Some facts were confidential and it was not a good idea to tell Xia Yingying, and it might even bring threats to them.

Although Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying are currently living in two different places, the distance between them is very far.

But they still care about each other in their hearts. Although Xia Yingying has not explicitly said that she has feelings for him, Lu Ziren can clearly feel that Xia Yingying's feelings towards him are very different from before.

After Lu Ziren finished writing the letter, he put all the letters he had written before in a box, took the box to the post station, and sent the letters out.

The soldiers at the post station had become immune to Lu Ziren and were not as frightened as they were at the beginning. They calmly put Lu Ziren's letter in a large envelope and then quickly mailed it to Lu Ziren.

The pastry shop was opened the next day. Yang Liuxu woke up early and, together with Xia Yingying, filled the shelves with pastries. Then they opened the door to welcome customers.

Although Xia Yingying had already told Yang Liuxu what she had to do every day, in order for Yang Liuxu to better understand it, Xia Yingying still led Yang Liuxu to do it again, explaining as she did it.

Yang Liuxu's job content is said to be a lot, but it is also very simple. It mainly involves checking the accounts every day and then standing at the counter to collect cash. If there are customers who need to be received, they can ask if they need any help.

Because Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi are still in the store, some things don't need Yang Liuxu to handle alone.

After Xia Yingying planned to leave Qingshui County, she did not let Yang Liuxu run the entire pastry shop alone.

If Xia Yingying decided to hire only Yang Liuxu as a female clerk, she would offer Yang Liuxu double the salary.

Putting the work of two people on one person is too much of a slave. Xia Yingying once worked in a modern company and knew the suffocating feeling of a boss who didn't treat his employees as human beings. She didn't want to become that kind of sweatshop boss.

"These are the tasks you will have to do every day. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. If I'm not here, you can ask my mother." Xia Yingying was afraid that Yang Liuxu didn't understand, so she gave him instructions.

"Okay, I understand." Yang Liuxu nodded instantly. Although the job at hand was indeed very simple, she was no longer the boss who only needed to issue numbers in the store and many employees would come forward to help her. She was now a very ordinary employee.

Yang Liuxu is indeed very capable at work. She is first-rate in collecting money, settling accounts and entertaining customers. She is even better than two Song Ruyi.

After receiving several clients, Yang Liuxu had become completely familiar with the job, and Xia Yingying was able to hand over all the work to her with confidence.

When Xia Yingying was about to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Yingying, I didn't expect you to really open a pastry shop. You are so rich now, you must save us."

Xia Yingying frowned. Who is this?

She is not a glittering savior who wants to save everyone she meets.

Although she thought so in her heart, Xia Yingying still turned around and looked at the person who came.

The person who came was Bai Qingmiao who had not been seen for a long time.

Xia Yingying's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, why are you here? What happened that brought you here?"

When Bai Qingmiao saw Xia Yingying recognized him, he immediately fell to his knees, grabbed Xia Yingying's skirt, and kowtowed to him.

"Yingying, you must save us. If you don't save us, our whole family will hang themselves to death."

"I was wrong to kick you and mother out, but your nephews and nieces are innocent. You must save them."

Bai Qingmiao cried to Xia Yingying with tears streaming down her face.

Xia Yingying was completely confused.

What is going on? Bai Qingmiao didn't say anything clearly. How could she know whether she could save him or not?

If she agreed, and she ended up not being able to do anything and causing greater harm, Bai Qingmiao would then blame everything on her and make many unreasonable demands. Where would she go to seek justice then?

Xia Yingying has always insisted on doing things within her ability.

Xia Yingying turned around and helped Bai Qingmiao up directly: "Sister-in-law, you get up first and explain the situation clearly. I don't know if I can help you."

Bai Xingmiao was a scheming man. He knew that Xia Yingying was just delaying the situation and had not agreed to save her, so he kowtowed heavily on the ground again.

Although it is not the peak season now, the store is located on a busy street in the county town with people coming and going. If something happens, many people will be able to see it at once.

Seeing this scene, many people came forward to watch.

Yang Liuxu also knew that letting the situation go on would not be a good idea, as it might cause a disaster to the business in the store, so she said to the crowd that was slowly gathering around, "Dear guests, I'm really sorry for today. I have some things to deal with at home. Please come back in the afternoon and we'll take care of the family affairs." Yang Liuxu and Song Ruyi drove everyone out of the store and closed the door. "Please give me some votes"
