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

Xia Yingying didn't understand and thought Lu Ziren wanted today's wages, but she didn't think too much about it. She opened the cash box again, took out a string of 100-wen coins and handed it to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren did not take Xia Yingying's money, but walked over and took Xia Yingying's hand, "You have worked hard today."

Xia Yingying's whole body was extremely stiff.

What is Lu Ziren doing?

But Xia Yingying didn't know what to say at the moment, so she had to pull her hand out of Lu Ziren's hand, put on a standard smile, and said to Lu Ziren in a very stiff tone that he had worked hard, and then put the string of money in Lu Ziren's palm.

Lu Ziren put the money back into Xia Yingying's hand. Xia Yingying was confused and looked at Lu Ziren in shock.

"If you hadn't made beef jerky and pork jerky for me today, you wouldn't have worked so hard."

Lu Ziren saw all of Xia Yingying's hard work. Xia Yingying had been busy since she got up in the morning, spinning like a top.

Even if he had been fighting on the battlefield all the time, he would get tired, let alone Xia Yingying, a weak woman.

He regretted why he had asked Xia Yingying to help him prepare dry food for the military camp. It was something that could be solved with a few silver coins, but he had to ask Xia Yingying to do it for him first. It was all because of the hateful sense of superiority in his mind.

I was not busy at that time this morning, so I did not stop Xia Yingying from making beef jerky and pork jerky. But I did not expect that Xia Yingying would work like a top all day long.

Xia Yingying has been busy since the moment she opened her eyes until now, without even a chance to take a break. He feels sorry for Xia Yingying because she works so hard.

But this is also his fault, because he didn't bring more silver when he came back.

He also didn't expect that he was reborn, and Xia Yingying's heart was changed, and she was possessed by a demon.

Because according to the memory of the previous life, Xia Yingying was no longer there. The main purpose of his return was to take the children to the capital, but the capital was dangerous. If Xia Yingying had not passed away, the children would be left here without anyone to take care of them. Lu Ziren did not want to bring the children to a place like the capital where there were many tigers and wolves.

This time when he came back, Xia Yingying was still alive and well, and her small business was even thriving. Lu Ziren thought that it would be safer for the children and Xia Yingying to stay here. After he returned to Beijing and resolved some very potential dangers in the capital, he would bring the children and Xia Yingying to the capital to enjoy a better life.

Oh, Xia Yingying is a fairy in this life. Logically, she shouldn’t get tired. Could it be that she possessed Xia Yingying’s body, so she became weak and could get sick like a human?

Then she must not overwork herself. Look at her thin arms and legs. They look like they could be blown down by the wind.

She can't fall down.

Should he confess to Xia Yingying that he has a lot of money and can live a worry-free life for the rest of his life even if he doesn't work?

Originally, Lu Ziren was still worried that Xia Yingying would leave him if she got the money, but now Lu Ziren couldn't care less. He couldn't bear to let Xia Yingying work so hard.

Lu Ziren now has two hundred taels of silver on him. Although it is not much, it is enough for Xia Yingying to hire someone to take a break.

"Why don't you ask a few people to help in the store? You can't handle it all by yourself. I'm worried that you'll ruin your health." Lu Ziren said to Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Is Lu Ziren concerned about her?

I thought that Lu Ziren meant well. He might have said that because he saw that she was too busy today.

Because the store is opening and there are new store opening activities, it is normal that there are more people today, but there won't be so many people at ordinary times, so Lu Ziren's worries are a bit unnecessary.

Xia Yingying's tone softened, and she replied, "It's just the opening day that's busy. After tomorrow, the flow of customers in the store will basically stabilize. There are not so many people in the county, and there won't be many people buying cakes. Starting tomorrow, it will definitely not be as busy as today. Today is too busy because there are discounts on the first day of opening, and some people want to try new things, so some are too busy to handle it, but they won't be like this later. Besides, my mother and I are in the store now, and the two of us are enough. Your comrade-in-arms will also be here in a few days, and he can help us then."

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Lu Ziren frowned even more. But thinking that Xia Yingying might be worried about the wages, he took out two silver bills from the bottom of his chest and handed them to Xia Yingying: "This money is for you to pay wages. Don't worry, when I return to the barracks, I will give you all the money next time I come back. You can hire someone to help and let them take care of the trivial matters in the store. You can just collect money and check the accounts. You don't need to run around the store all day."

Xia Yingying was stunned when she saw the denomination of the banknote that Lu Ziren handed over.

Wow, it turns out that Lu Ziren has some private money hidden away, and the amount is quite large. However, Lu Ziren is really rich, and he spends so much at once.

But Xia Yingying did not take the money and immediately shook her head, "Really, it's not necessary." Xia Yingying had her own money, and if she wanted to treat someone, she would have done it long ago.

However, Xia Yingying did want to hire someone, but not now, but after her store became bigger.

"I know the money is too little. You may not care about this little money, but these are the only two bills I have. When I come back from the military camp, I will give you all my wealth. You can spend it however you want."

Seeing that Xia Yingying didn't take the money, Lu Ziren directly placed the two silver bills in Xia Yingying's palm. Lu Ziren's big hand wrapped around Xia Yingying's small hand, and the silver bills were rolled up and placed in Xia Yingying's palm.

"I've given you this money, you can do whatever you want with it. I'm just telling you that there's money at home, so you don't need to work so hard. You've been busy like a cow these past few days, and even if you were in good health, you'd get tired. The children can't bear to leave you now, so you should take good care of yourself."

Oh, it turned out that because he saw that she was popular with the children and was worried that she would hurt her health and be unable to take care of the children, he took out the money from the bottom of his box.

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, Xia Yingying did not refuse to take the two banknotes. Although Xia Yingying accepted them, she did not plan to use them. Instead, she planned to save them and give them to Lu Ziren when he needed them.

"Then I'll take it for now. If you need it someday, just ask me for it."

"Ah."

Although Lu Ziren answered like that, Lu Ziren didn't have many places to spend money and basically didn't need it for anything, so he consciously assumed that the money belonged to Xia Yingying.

But these few days are really tiring. Although running a pastry shop makes money, she has to do everything by herself.

Originally, Xia Yingying had never thought about asking for help, but she couldn't stand it any longer. She thought she could easily run a store, but she couldn't stand it after just one day.

Business in the county town is much better than she had imagined. She will wait and see in a few days. If she is still too busy, she will consider hiring someone.

Making pastries is the most troublesome thing, but the core technology is the pastry recipe.

Even if Xia Yingying wanted to find someone else to do it, she had to keep the core technology firmly in her own hands.

In the next few days, she will think about how to prevent the leakage of core technology.
