Chapter 149 Lo-Mei Shop Hires People

Wei Qingwan smiled lightly: “Miss He, we are not familiar, so we should not call you so close.”

However, He Miaoer didn’t seem to feel Wei Qingwan’s alienation, and continued to flatter Wei Qingwan: “Sister, I know, you have difficulties, don’t worry, we will never mention anything between you and us outside. Now in the mansion, there is no one else around, so you don’t need to worry so much.”

Mrs. He quickly said: “Yes, yes, Wanwan, we are relatives connected by blood, and Miaoer is your biological sister. We will pay attention to it outside, but at home, there is no need to avoid it like this.”

Wei Qingwan avoided the three of them, and walked timidly behind Yun: “Mother.”

Mr. Yun frowned, seeing her daughter’s discomfort, and said to the He family: “Mr. He, Mrs. He, and Ms. He, please remember what you promised us back then.”

Mrs. He hurriedly apologized: “I remember, I remember, don’t worry, we won’t tell everyone outside that Wanwan belongs to our daughter; it’s just that there are no outsiders around right now? Madam Wei, please be considerate of us as parents. Heart.”

Listening to Mrs. He’s explanation, it’s not easy for the Yun family to criticize the He family too much. She is also a mother herself, so she can understand their feelings.

“Wanwan, they are your biological parents, and it is only human to care about you, so you should have a good chat with them.” Yun said to Wei Qingwan.

After Yun said that, Wei Qingwan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Then because the Yun family had to transport the medicinal materials sent by the He family to the barracks, she left first, and asked Wei Qingwan to greet the He family on her behalf.

After the Yun family left, the He family became even more enthusiastic about Wei Qingwan.

“Wanwan, mother’s Wanwan… You and mother were really similar when they were young.” Mrs. He looked at Wei Qingwan lovingly.

Wei Qingwan also discovered that she and Mrs. He have very similar eyebrows and eyes, and instead of making Wei Qingwan feel familiar with the He family, this discovery made her very uncomfortable.

“Sister, I heard that Mrs. Wei has been promoted again and has a bright future. Will my sister’s status also rise with the tide?” He Miaoer asked curiously.

“Why are you asking these things?” Wei Qingwan disliked He Miaoer’s flattery very much.

“Just to inquire, after all, I don’t have the good fortune of my sister to grow up in a big family like Earl’s Mansion.” He Miaoer said enviously.

Wei Qingwan didn’t want to have a direct conflict with the other party, so she responded: “Being in an official family also has difficulties in being in an official family. Many things are not as comfortable as sister Miaoer.”

He Miaoer would not listen: “Sister Wanwan, my parents and I will stay here for a few more days, why don’t you take me around for a while?”

Wei Qingwan resigned: “I still have to go to the magistrate’s house to attend lectures every day, so I don’t have time to accompany you. Besides, shouldn’t sister Miaoer be more familiar with sister Ruoer? If there is anything, it would be better to go to sister Ruoer.”

Wei Qingwan wanted to leave this trouble to Wei Ruo.

As everyone knows, the relationship between the He family and Wei Ruo is very weak, and they haven’t seen each other for many years, and now they can’t recognize Wei Ruo standing in front of them.

“But just now I heard that sister Ruo’er is not at home now, and it will take a while to come back.” He Miaoer hurriedly replied.

Wei Qingwan also realized that she didn’t know whether it was Wei Qingruo’s luck or something, but she just happened to be separated from the He family.

“Sister Wanwan, don’t refuse, just take me around! I promise to be obedient and never talk nonsense after I go out!”

He Miaoer took the initiative to come forward, holding Wei Qingwan’s arm, one sister at a time.

Wei Qingwan had no choice but to agree to take her around in her spare time.

When Wei Qingwan was annoyed by the He family, Wei Ruo in Fucheng was busy.

Because he was worried that Uncle Xu would not be able to do it alone, Wei Ruo took Mother Xu along with him.

Anyway, the two shops in Xingshan County have been running relatively smoothly, and there is no need for their husband and wife to take care of them all the time.

Both shops, Wei Ruo, need to find suitable assistants, Sibaozhai needs a shopkeeper, and the Lo-Mei shop needs someone who knows some cooking skills, and is well-behaved and sensible.

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei were making marinade in the kitchen of Tianqin Garden, when they talked about finding someone with some skills, the cook heard about it and hurriedly recommended her niece to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo inquired carefully about the situation of the cook and her niece, and learned that she had learned some crafts from the cook, but she didn’t stick to it later because she had to help her parents take care of her younger siblings.

Now he is fifteen years old and still unmarried. He wants to find a job to make a living and subsidize his family.

The cook sighed after finishing speaking: “If my niece can learn from me for a few more years, she can be a cook in a rich family and have the same food and drink as I do. I straightened my waist, but it’s a pity…”

It’s a pity that girls from families like them can’t help themselves. After all, there are very few people like her who can live a decent life as a cook for a wealthy family with their own skills.

After listening to the cook’s description, Wei Ruo promised to meet her niece.

The cook was very happy after hearing this, and immediately arranged a meeting for Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo frowned the first time he saw the woman. She was fifteen years old, two years older than her, but she was thin, with yellow skin, and looked malnourished.

The weather is getting colder now, and the clothes the woman is wearing are also very thin, worn-out calico clothes, and the sleeves are still a bit away from the wrist, which is obviously much smaller.

“I’ve met Miss…my name is Chen Aqing.” The woman timidly did not dare to look up at Wei Ruo.

“You don’t have to be so nervous, I hired you to work in my friend’s shop, not to sell you.” Wei Ruo said.

“Slave… I dare not…”

“You first make a small dish that you are good at and give us a taste.”

Wei Ruo arranged for Chen Aqing to cook a dish for them in the kitchen of Tianqin Garden.

Although she was timid and timid, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were quite satisfied with the dishes they made after tasting them.

So she decided to let her follow Xiumei for a while, learn some skills, and at the same time exercise her courage.

To be an employee in Wei Ruo’s store, you still have to be confident.

Knowing that she was hired by Wei Ruo, Chen Aqing directly knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Ruo: “Thank you miss, thank you miss…”

Wei Ruo didn’t understand how excited she was.

The cook explained next to her: “Miss, you don’t know something. If she fails to find a job this time, there is a high probability that she will be sold to a kiln by that black-hearted brother of mine!”

I see.

Wei Ruo looked at the thin figure crying in front of him, and said, “As long as you have a correct attitude, work hard, and don’t get distracted, you won’t be hungry in the future.”
