Li Yao withdrew his gaze and curled his lips, "Sister-in-law Xiong, you don't need to explain to me, this is all your private matter. You just rented my shop, you didn't sell yourself to me."

"My boss," Sister-in-law Xiong blushed, "If you don't want to tell me, I have to tell you."

She poured another glass of water for Li Yao, "He is from Xiangyang Village, my cousin. The year before last, my wife was killed by refugees who fled into the city. It was very miserable. In the past two months, he went to work in the west of the city, and he happened to meet Got me.

My husband died a few years ago, and I left home with my two children. I have never told any of this to my parents.

After he found out, he felt sorry for me and understood me very well.

Therefore, in the past two months, after he finished his work, he would come to my shop to help. "

At first, Xiong's face was full of distress and sorrow when she talked about her cousin's experience, but later on, a smile appeared on her face.

"That's good. Sister-in-law Xiong has help, so she doesn't have to work so hard!" Li Yao was also very happy for her.

Sister-in-law Xiong looked embarrassed.

"But what else?" Li Yao saw that she seemed to have something to hide.

"If you have anything to say, just say it," Zhu Yinniang heard excitedly and stopped suddenly, feeling that she still had more to say.

"Ahem," Sister-in-law Xiong said with a shy face, "My cousin wants to marry me."

Li Yao almost choked on the water, but luckily she endured it in time and didn't have a big reaction. "Congratulations," she said sincerely.

"Boss, I'm going to tell you the truth," Sister-in-law Xiong plucked up the courage, "I don't want to open this pottery shop. I'm going to take my children back to Xiangyang Village. That's my cousin's house there, and my parents are also nearby."

That's it!

Although Li Yao was surprised, he agreed.

Then I heard Sister-in-law Xiong say, "I'm not young anymore, and my cousin doesn't want me to have another child. He is good to me, and he is good to me..."

Li Yao looked outside and saw Sister-in-law Xiong's cousin also looking over.

When their eyes met, Sister-in-law Xiong's cousin quickly moved his eyes away and lowered his head slightly.

Li Yao feels good, he is an honest and kind person, and he seems to be very respectful.

"Sister-in-law Xiong, if you really don't want to do this, you won't rent this store anymore. This month's rent will be waived, just consider it my congratulatory gift to us."

Sister-in-law Xiong stood up in a hurry, "Master, how can this be done...how can this be good..."

Li Yao interrupted her, "You still have so many goods in this store, and I don't think you can leave so soon. Why don't we wait till the end of this month, sell the goods, and keep the money with us."

Tears welled up in her eyes. Sister-in-law Xiong held Li Yao's hand excitedly, "I am lucky to have such a good boss like you."

Li Yao smiled and said, "You have more blessings ahead."

She glanced outside and said, "Your cousin is a good man!"

"Liquidation sale? Do you want to sell it at a low price?" Zhu Yinniang stood up and looked at the bowls and cans in the house, "Just right, I will buy some."

Meng was obviously also interested, "I'll buy two too."

Xiong was also a cheerful person, so he happily agreed and led them outside to choose.

Li Yao still sat and teased Jinyu for a while. After they made their choice, Qingfen also called the groom over.

Xiong's cousin helped carry the things onto the carriage. When Li Yao and the others got on the carriage, he bowed again.

"The business of this pottery shop is so good, it's a pity that they stopped doing it." Meng sighed softly, "Business has never stopped since we entered the shop. Although we made a penny or two, we couldn't afford to buy There are so many people!”

"No matter how good the business is, it is nothing compared to having sincere people by your side." Regarding this, Zhu Yinniang had a slightly different opinion, "It is not easy for two poor people to come together. Back to their village, there are With parents’ help, life will be much better. This is the right choice.”

"You are right." Meng opened the car curtain and took a look outside.

It was already noon, but there were still many people here. Whatever you do is fine!

Li Yao knew that she was anxious, but he didn't ask her at this moment. It was not easy to discuss things in the carriage, so I thought of having a good chat with Aunt Meng after dinner.

Originally, I was thinking about finding some kind of business for the Zhu family, and they also had to find a shop. Now that I'm really sleepy, I'll give you a pillow.

It just so happened that Aunt Meng liked the excitement in the west of the city, so it was perfect.

After returning home, none of them wanted to have lunch. After all, I had just eaten a lot of snacks in the west of the city, but I couldn't digest them at all.

Qingdai asked the kitchen to bring only the soup, and everyone drank a cup before letting them go.

Li Yao returned to Tangxiangyuan with a belly full of water.

Just as he was about to lie down, the black face came back.

He came in long strides, this time not by flying, because behind him he came with ten people dressed in ordinary but very capable people with windy steps.

He asked people to stop in the yard and not move, and called his aunt to come out.

"Miss, everyone has been brought here." The black face was very respectful, not as playful as before.

Li Yao also knew that he was trying to impress her.

Although the quality of the mysterious army is very high and there is no need to worry about rebellion, Li Yao is grateful for Black Face's approach.

Li Yao glanced around sharply. There were five men and five women. Their appearance was ordinary, but the aura exuding from them showed that their martial arts were not weak.

Among them, the woman on the right has a heroic face and very three-dimensional facial features. If he didn't deliberately hide the murderous aura in his body, he would be timid and would not dare to get close.

"They are a group of people who grew up together. They were specially trained by the mysterious army to protect their masters. Their code name is Suzaku, and Suzaku is also their boss."

The black face finished speaking.

Zhuque took a step forward, "Subordinate Zhuque, I have met the lady!"

She cupped her fists, neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Yao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Suzaku, from now on, my safety depends entirely on you!"

Suzaku didn't like to smile, his face was serious and a little cold. "Miss is Suzaku's master. If anyone wants to kill Miss, he has to step on Suzaku."

"Very good!" Experts are often a little arrogant, and Li Yao is very satisfied with this Suzaku. She has always liked the aloof style.

The remaining nine people reported their names one by one.

Li Yao's face turned green. These people's names were as random as they wanted.

It’s actually called Yi Er Shen Si Wu Lu Qi Ba Jiu, it’s really...

"Miss, this is their code name. In the past, for the convenience of doing things, subordinates and them used code names to correspond. There are rules for ladies in the lady's house, and you can change your name." Suzaku said.

"No, it's fine." Li Yao said against his will.

"Everyone is used to it, so don't change it. This will save you from having to remember each other's names for a long time."

She meant this sincerely. Don't mention them, even she might have to remember them for a long time, so why not just call them by their codenames.

simple!

Li Yao left Suzaku behind, and the rest of the people asked Hei Lian to take them to the servants' residence to wait.

She hasn't come to talk to her family yet, and she doesn't know the characteristics and strength of these 1234, 5, 6, 7, and 89. She has to ask Suzaku carefully to find out.

"Sit!" Li Yao led Suzaku into the room.

"You will live in my courtyard from now on. When your subordinates are assigned to be with my family, they will also live together with me. They don't have to live in the servants' room."

Suzaku didn't sit down, "Yes!"

Li Yao saw that she was very disciplined and did not force herself, "I think Black Face has discussed the situation in my family with you in detail. Who do you think is suitable for whom?"
