Chapter 1949: Promoting Virtuousness Without Avoiding Kinship


However, now Jiang Fengshou had the idea of splitting from his family again.

When he had work, his parents and siblings would still show a little favor, but they still found ways to get money from him. In the past few months when he was unemployed, they criticized him incessantly.

Although he could endure their criticisms, his wife couldn't. She was sensitive and kind-hearted, and their child was still young. They wouldn't know if they were being taken advantage of.

That's why he wanted to move out. However, there was an issue he hadn't resolved yet.

Jiang Fengshou couldn't help but look up and cautiously glance at Shu Yu. He sighed and said, "boss, you don't know, but after my wife married me, she hasn't had many good days. Watching her like this makes me uncomfortable. Yesterday, just buying a bracelet made her so happy. I feel really awkward about it. It's just that my elder brother and sister-in-law are always watching my family. I don't know if the bracelet will last. If it's lost, won't I be letting you down after all your hard work?"

Shu Yu suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, "Alright, just say what you want to say. Don't talk as if you're so troubled. Your roundabout way of speaking is giving me a headache."

Jiang Fengshou chuckled, "Boss, you said you wanted to hire someone to cook in the backyard of our store, right? Let me tell you, my wife is very diligent and cooks delicious food. She's also well-behaved. There's no one more suitable than her."

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. Indeed, Jiang Fengshou could be provided room and board working here. However, Jiang Fengshou returned home to live, while Zhou Tiedong got married and lived in a rented house outside. Therefore, she only provided a subsidy for accommodation.

As for providing meals, she initially wanted to ask Aunt He to do it. Aunt He had been working in her rented courtyard. After she left Changjin Prefecture, she planned to have Aunt He come to the backyard of the shop to help with cooking a few meals.

After all, she was quite familiar with Aunt He's character and could trust her. However, a few days ago, Aunt He's eldest daughter-in-law accidentally injured her leg when she went out. She still couldn't get out of bed now, and unfortunately, she had an infant son. Their family was in chaos.

Other people in the house had proper jobs and didn't have much time to spare. After considering for two days, Aunt He saw that her family was in turmoil and eventually came to Shu Yu to pass the work to someone else.

Aunt He had her reasons, and Shu Yu didn't want to force her. Thus, she let her go and started to look for someone else to cook.

Since Jiang Fengshou was friends with women and familiar with Changjin Prefecture, she had him find someone.

Who would have thought he'd directly ask his own wife? He was truly promoting virtuousness without avoiding kinship.

Shu Yu furrowed her brow, "At 'Lu Ji,' we generally don't hire both husband and wife to work at the same place."

Jiang Fengshou nodded repeatedly, "Understood, I understand your point, Boss. Please rest assured, both of us are very well-behaved. Especially my wife, she's obedient and you'll see when you meet her. If she comes to work in the store, she will only stay in the backyard and won't get involved with the front of the shop. I promise, I'll separate my personal and professional matters. I definitely won't do anything that favors one's relatives and is against the law. After all, I'm a family man, right? I also have to think about my child. If I were to do anything detrimental to 'Lu Ji,' please feel free to send me to prison."

Shu Yu laughed, "It's not that serious."

Since she chose Jiang Fengshou, she wouldn't worry about him doing anything that favored one's relatives and was against the law. If he really knew how, when he worked at Liu's Store in Changjin Prefecture, he could have done many things.
