After some thought, Shu Yu, as Jiang Fengshou had mentioned, cherished his wife and children who had always been there for him despite his lack of close relatives since childhood.
Even for their sake, he would exercise caution.
"Alright, since you've made a promise, let her try for a few days," Shu Yu conceded.
Jiang Fengshou's eyes brightened, "Thank you, Boss."
Thinking the matter was settled, Shu Yu was about to leave, but Jiang Fengshou shifted aside, blocking her way and chuckled mischievously.
This time, Shu Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Is there something else? Spit it out all at once."
"Well, Boss, it's like this. If my wife also comes here, then we, as a couple, would both be part of the Lu store, right? Can we live in the backyard then?"
"Sure."
"But, in that case, my two children at home would have no one to take care of them. They might have to come as well. But don't worry; the four of us can share a room in the backyard. My kids are well-behaved. My eldest daughter is ten, and my youngest son is six. My wife has educated them well, so they won't come to the front of the Lu Ji store. They can even help with some chores. Their daily expenses can be deducted directly from my wages."
As Shu Yu listened, she suddenly understood his plan and leaned on the counter with a knowing smile. "I see, you want to set up a separate household. But you're worried that if you move out and rent a place on your own, your parents and elder siblings might trouble your wife and children when you're not at home. So, you're suggesting that your whole family moves to the backyard. This way, even if your parents and siblings want your wife to return and serve them, they won't be able to make excuses. Additionally, you can look after them, and..."
Jiang Fengshou chuckled, trying to make an excuse, "The third reason is that we want the County Princess's support since we're now under your protection."
Shu Yu looked exasperated. "Are you plotting against me?"
"Of course not, I'm just asking for your help," Jiang Fengshou replied, appearing innocent.
But Shu Yu was quick to respond, "Alright, I agree. However, the condition is that your wife needs to come and try for a few days. If she fits in, she can stay, and if not, I won't keep her. Helping out is one thing, hiring someone for the Lu Ji store is another. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand," Jiang Fengshou nodded repeatedly. He was confident that his wife's diligence and cooking skills would impress the boss.
Shu Yu waved her hand. "Okay, you can get back to work now. I'm going to have lunch and will be back in the afternoon."
"Bose, take care."
Shu Yu left with Ying Xi, calling out to Da Niu, "Big brother, let's go. It's time for lunch, and I need to talk to you about something."
"Alright." Da Niu put down his work and followed.
"Ah Yu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's find a restaurant and talk leisurely."
The three of them exited through the back door. After turning a corner through an alley, they arrived at a restaurant.
However, as soon as they turned the corner, they saw two somewhat familiar figures ahead. One of them was Wang Yue, who had just come to deliver lunch to Zhou Tiedong, and the other was... Chen Qiu?
