Seeing that Mao Dao was so serious, Li Xiaoran immediately thought of something and teased, “Then tell me first, what’s the situation with the person you introduced?”
When Mao Dao heard Li Xiaoran’s tone, he hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
“Sister-in-law, she’s actually a girl who got married from our village! She was chased back by her husband’s family. Her family is unwilling to support her, and her husband’s family divorced her, so she has nowhere to go! Don’t worry, Sister-in-law, she’s very diligent and not the kind of person who’s scheming. I guarantee that she’ll work diligently and won’t run away when she encounters trouble!”
“Why did he divorce her?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, her teasing mood changed.
“It’s a long story. Her husband divorced her on the basis that she has no children! This girl has a gentle personality and doesn’t know how to defend herself. She’s only been married for half a year. How can a man have a child when he’s only at home for a few days? Actually, a friend of mine told me that that man has fallen in love with another girl. That girl’s family has some assets and a generous dowry, so the man’s family was tempted and divorced her!” Mao Dao told her what he knew.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she thought about it for a moment.
“How about this?! Bring her over for me to take a look!”
Mao Dao was very happy to see that Li Xiaoran was willing to see her.
“Alright, I’ll call her over now! Don’t worry, Sister-in-law, she’ll definitely be a suitable candidate!”
With that, Mao Dao ran out.
Seeing how eager Mao Dao was, Li Xiaoran had another thought.
“Mao Dao is so enthusiastic about helping her. Could it be that he likes her?” Li Xiaoran muttered.
When Yuan Cheng heard this, he looked at Li Xiaoran in admiration.
“You can tell?”
When Li Xiaoran heard Yuan Cheng’s words, her eyes widened. “I guessed correctly?”
“That’s right. Mao Dao has always liked that girl! Unfortunately, that girl’s family is greedy and difficult to get along with. Mao Dao’s parents were unwilling to accept this and never agreed to Mao Dao’s request. It was also because of this that Mao Dao’s relationship with his family became worse and worse. Later, this girl’s parents accepted someone else’s betrothal gift and married this girl off!” Yuan Cheng nodded and told her the secret.
“Because of this, Mao Dao became disheartened and started to hang out with the idle people in the village!” Yuan Cheng sighed.
Li Xiaoran didn’t know that there was actually such an incident. No wonder Mao Dao was so proactive.
“Now that this girl is back, Mao Dao probably has designs on her again! However, this girl has already married someone. Will Mao Dao’s parents agree to let Mao Dao marry her?”
Yuan Cheng shook his head and said, “Of course not. Therefore, Mao Dao’s relationship with his family has been very tense these past two days. He has been resting at my place for two consecutive days!”
At this point, Yuan Cheng looked around and lowered his voice. “Sister-in-law, I think Mao Dao probably wants to set up his own business. Previously, he left the salary you paid him with me and didn’t take a single cent home!”
Hearing this, Li Xiaoran already knew what to do.
It seemed that after so many years of coercion from his family, Mao Dao had long wanted to be independent.
Li Xiaoran didn’t think that Mao Dao was doing anything outrageous.
Men would be useless if they were not independent and had to be bossed around by their families all day long.
Sometimes, one had to be firm and unyielding.
Moreover, now that Mao Dao already had his own source of income and could support himself and his wife, he had the ability to set up his own business. However, all of this depended on what the girl Mao Dao brought back was like.
If she was a good woman, it wouldn’t have been in vain.
But what if she really wasn’t very nice?
For some reason, Li Xiaoran had this thought.
Li Xiaoran knew that her intuition was the most accurate.
Could it be that there was really something wrong with this woman that Mao Dao liked?
Just as Li Xiaoran was about to ask more questions, a few customers came to buy buns.
Li Xiaoran could only swallow her words. Then, she made up her mind to take a closer look at this girl later and check on her for Mao Dao.
Before long, Mao Dao brought her over excitedly.
Li Xiaoran looked at the woman in front of her and thought for a moment before saying to Mao Dao, “There are customers in the shop now. Go and greet them first! I’ll bring her to the courtyard at the back to chat for a while!”
Mao Dao trusted Li Xiaoran very much. He nodded and reminded her, “Cai Ying, don’t be afraid. She’s a very good person. Answer whatever she asks you.
Don’t be nervous!”
Cai Ying nodded when she heard Mao Dao’s words.
“Yes, I understand! Thank you, Mao Dao. Hurry up and get busy!”
Mao Dao smiled and nodded when he heard her gentle voice. Then, he turned around and went to do his work.
Li Xiaoran brought Cai Ying to the courtyard at the back and sat down. After pouring a glass of water, she placed it in front of Cai Ying.
“You were brought over by Mao Dao in a hurry, so you must be tired from walking! Drink some tea first to moisten your throat before we talk!” “Thank you!” Cai Ying nodded and said gently. Then, she picked up her teacup and drank.
Li Xiaoran noticed Cai Ying’s hand and her gaze paused for a moment before looking away as if nothing had happened.
Then, Li Xiaoran picked up her teacup and took a sip.
After Cai Ying took two sips, she put down the teacup and sat there obediently.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran asked, “You’ve seen what our store does for business. When you come here to work, you have to do a lot of rough work every day. Your hands will often be soaked in water. Not only that, but you also have to serve dishes, wash the dishes, clean up, and deal with ingredients. There’s a lot of work and they’re very complicated. Do you think you can do it?”
When Cai Ying heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she subconsciously looked at the shop outside and quickly retracted her gaze.
“I—I—I don’t know!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Cai Ying’s words, she frowned.
Cai Ying seemed to be very sensitive and immediately sensed Li Xiaoran’s unhappiness. Then, she quickly sat upright with a terrified look.
“Did I make you angry? I really don’t know. I’ve never done so many things before. I have to try before I know!” With that, Cai Ying quickly looked up and glanced at Li Xiaoran, then quickly lowered her head.
Li Xiaoran saw Cai Ying’s small actions and pondered over it.
Cai Ying actually wasn’t suitable to work in the shop.
She didn’t have a good personality! Keeping her around would only cause the shop a lot of trouble!
