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

When Yang Liuxu heard what Xia Yingying said, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls.

Since the day when the Yang's shop got into trouble, she has seen too many people who took advantage of her, stepped on her, and made sarcastic remarks. She has hardly seen anyone like Xia Yingying who treated her equally during this period of time.

Because of the warmth given by Xia Yingying, a stranger whom she had only met once, she felt an indescribable comfort and warmth in her heart, but at the same time she also felt a bit embarrassed and unbearable.

Her lips trembled, and after a long pause, she finally uttered a complete sentence in a trembling manner.

"Madam, thank you, thank you so much, thank you so much..." There was only one sentence left in Yang Liuxu's mouth: thank you. These words kept turning over and over in her mouth.

When Xia Yingying saw Yang Liuxu like this, she felt even more upset.

Although Yang Liuxu is a woman, Xia Yingying sees in her the tenacity to grow tenaciously like weeds.

"You don't need to thank me. It's because you are talented enough that my store needs people like you.

It’s just that my store is small, and the salary I offer may not be enough to meet your expectations. If you mind...” We can discuss it later.

When Xia Yingying discussed salary with Yang Liuxu, they had already agreed to give her three or two silver coins every month.

Three taels of silver is already the highest salary Xia Yingying can offer. She can't give any higher amount at the moment.

After all, apart from the rent of the store, labor costs, and the fixed costs of making pastry ingredients, the money she earns is hard-earned.

Even though the business is gradually getting on track, we cannot be blindly confident. In order to keep the store open for a long time, we still have to seek progress in stability.

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Yang Liuxu was also stunned. She paused and said to Xia Yingying, "Boss, you can just give me two taels of silver every month. Three taels of silver is too much. I really can't repay you. To be honest, I will have to eat and live in your store when I work for you. The monthly food expenses are also quite a lot of money.

Besides, two taels of silver is already the highest salary for most people in Qingshui County, so there is no need for your store to be special.”

Xia Yingying was suddenly confused when she heard what Yang Liuxu said. When she was working before, she was thinking about making as much money as possible. She really didn't expect that Yang Liuxu would take the initiative to ask for less salary. This... this is too magical.

Xia Yingying was stunned by what Yang Liuxu said. Seeing this, Yang Liuxu suddenly curled her lips and smiled and said to Xia Yingying: "Generally, two taels of silver is already very high for a shopkeeper. Your pastry shop is not very big, so just give me two taels of silver in the future."

Seeing Yang Liuxu saying this, Xia Yingying insisted to Yang Liuxu: "You are talking about just an ordinary store, so they often want to change jobs. You are so good at accounting, so of course I have to pay more to keep you. In the future, you have to help me with accounting for a long time, so that I don't have to bother to hire someone else."

Yang Liuxu originally thought that since she had said this much, Xia Yingying would definitely go along with her and give her two taels of silver a month.

But unexpectedly, Xia Yingying didn't care at all and insisted on giving her three taels of silver.

She originally thought that since Xia Yingying was so good to her, she should return the favor, but Xia Yingying clearly didn't want to take advantage of her. Forget it, she would talk about repaying her later. Yang Liuxu sighed and said, "Okay, then, let's do as you say."

After Xia Yingying and Yang Liuxu agreed on their monthly salary at the vegetable market, Xia Yingying took Yang Liuxu, Yaya, Lu Haojie and Jingjing to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Because there were two more people eating today, Xia Yingying had to buy more vegetables.

Xia Yingying walked to the meat stall at the back. The owner was already very familiar with Xia Yingying. When he saw her coming, he asked her directly, "Madam, do you want spare ribs or lean meat today? Or do you want pork belly? I still have the best ones here."

Yaya couldn't help swallowing when she heard the word meat. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time since she followed her mother away from her previous home.

Xia Yingying listened to the boss and said, "Give me a pound of ribs and help me cut them. I also want a piece of pork belly."

"okay."

The boss immediately picked up the machete and chopped the ribs and meat on the chopping board, then packed them and put them in Xia Yingying's vegetable basket.

In addition to the meat, Xia Yingying also bought a sea bass.

We usually eat steamed sea bass at home, so today Xia Yingying plans to make baked sea bass.

When Yang Liuxu saw that Xia Yingying bought so much meat, she subconsciously thought that Xia Yingying was doing it to treat her. She thought about stopping Xia Yingying, but before she could say it out loud, her heart skipped a beat.

When did she become so cautious about accepting other people's kindness, subconsciously feeling that she didn't deserve other people's hospitality...

It started from the day when the Yang shop got into trouble, and from the day when Wu Xingwang started to dislike her. She had always relied on others to live. Now she has nothing and can earn a living through her own labor. Why is she still so humble in her heart?

From today on, she will accept other people's kindness with ease. She deserves other people's kindness, and when she is able to do so, she will repay other people's kindness.

But in my heart I subconsciously think that I don't deserve these things.

"What do you want to eat?" Xia Yingying turned around and asked the people following her after buying the fish.

Lu Haojie had already said that he wanted to eat braised pork, and Xia Yingying also bought pork belly for the braised pork.

Jingjing is not picky about anything, she will eat anything as long as it tastes good.

Seeing that no one answered her, Xia Yingying went to buy the vegetables she wanted.

Yang Liuxu prepared herself mentally, followed Xia Yingying, and took the initiative to help Xia Yingying carry some vegetables.

In addition to the meat, Xia Yingying also bought some Chinese cabbages, two pieces of tofu, peanuts, potatoes, and eggplants.

After buying the food, Xia Yingying took Yang Liuxu and the others back home. Xia Yingying put the food in the kitchen and prepared to cook. Seeing Yang Liuxu coming up to help, Xia Yingying said to Yang Liuxu, "Aren't you still staying at the inn? While there is still time, let Brother Zhao Wen help you pack your things from the inn. I can also vacate a room for you and your child to live there. But that room was used to store sundries before, so it may not be that good. You can only make do with it for now."

"It's okay. I'm already satisfied with having a place to live." Yang Liuxu didn't mind the simple place. For her, having food and a place to live, and getting paid every month for work was already the peak of her life. What else could she ask for?

Some time ago, when Xia Yingying asked a carpenter to make a bed, he also made an extra bunk bed. At that time, considering that she might have to hire employees in the future, she thought the bed would be idle, but she didn't expect it to be used so soon.

Zhao Dehuang Diao happened to have nothing to do right now, so he could help Xia Yingying clean up the room, and they could move in directly after Yang Liuxu moved her things in.

Xia Yingying talked to Zhao Dehuang Diao, and they didn't feel uncomfortable doing unnecessary work, so they cleaned the room actively.

Yang Liuxu originally wanted to go to the inn to pack up after dinner, but considering that she would have to trouble Zhao Wen after dinner, it would be late by then. It was winter and it would get dark quickly. It would not be very convenient to move things after dinner, so she might as well go now. "No matter how far we go, there is always love. Can you vote for me?"
