Chapter 180: Sister in law Lin
Upon hearing Yin Suxin’s words, Yiyi was momentarily stunned, feeling that the other person’s expression seemed a bit complicated, "Aunt Yin, are you really not going with us to Shangjing?"
"No, I’ll stay here, but don’t worry, even if the lady boss goes to Shangjing, I won’t be lazy."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Suxin, what are you saying, don’t I already know what kind of person you are? But indeed, it will be hard for you to manage this store alone."
"Don’t worry, lady boss, I’ll take good care of it, but there’s no need to hire someone to cook, I’ll just make something simple myself."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly said, "That won’t do, you certainly won’t cook properly by yourself, someone definitely has to cook for you."
"Mom, leave this to me, I’ll find a cook as soon as possible."
Yiyi kept this on her mind, and the next day she asked Mo Ping to find a cook.
"Young boss, Sister in law Lin is very good at cooking, no problem at all cooking for the lady boss and them."
Upon hearing Mo Ping’s words, Yiyi nodded and said, "Alright, bring her over this afternoon, let me see how she is."
"Okay."
Mo Ping agreed with a smile, but at the end, he was a bit embarrassed and said, "Actually... Sister in law Lin is a relative of the Lu Family, she was planning to find work in the town recently, I bumped into her and introduced her to this job, but don’t worry young boss, I know Sister in law Lin very well, she’s diligent and skilled, and she’s very kind-hearted and genuine."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi said, "I understand, as long as she’s good and can do the job, it’s fine."
Seeing Yiyi say this, Mo Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
When Sister in law Lin came in the afternoon, Yiyi gave her a simple interview.
Sister in law Lin did not underestimate Yiyi because of her young age; she was rather respectful and answered her questions truthfully, "I have two children who need to go to school, my husband works in the fields and can’t earn much, so I thought of coming to town to find work to help with household expenses."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi nodded.
"Alright then, later on, prepare us dinner, if it’s good, you can start working tomorrow."
"Sure, thank you, young boss."
Sister in law Lin looked at Yiyi with gratitude, thanking her repeatedly; she really needed this job, her eldest son’s senior high school entrance is coming soon, and her daughter just finished the middle school exams, both of them study very hard, and she definitely wants to earn money to help them continue their education."
"No need to thank me, as long as your cooking is good, you deserve it. Later, follow Mo Ping to the nearby market to buy some groceries and then come back to prepare dinner."
Sister in law Lin nodded promptly and went out to find Mo Ping.
When the two went grocery shopping, Sister in law Lin looked at Mo Ping gratefully and said, "Mo Ping, thank you so much this time, without you, I wouldn’t have found such an easy job."
"No need to thank me, as long as you’re diligent, it’s fine."
"In any case, I have to thank you."
Sister in law Lin sincerely thanked again, feeling somewhat emotional; Mo Ping used to be the most looked down upon rogue in our village, but now he’s doing incredibly well, not only managing a medicine store, but also frequently dealing with other store owners in town, it’s hard to believe.
"Really, no need to thank, just work hard from now on, following our young boss can’t go wrong."
Sister in law Lin promptly nodded and said, "Absolutely."
Even Mo Ping is doing so well, it shows how amazing young boss Mo Yiyi is; if she indeed comes to work, she must work hard.
The market was nearby, so they quickly returned with groceries, Sister in law Lin wanted to prove herself, and made a very abundant dinner.
Looking at the dishes which were visually appealing and fragrant, Yiyi couldn’t help but nod; just their appearance was great, she tasted each one, then laughed, "Sister in law Lin, come over for work tomorrow, you come here first, then Mo Ping will take you to the clothing store."
"Alright... sure, I’ll come over early tomorrow."
Sister in law Lin’s face was full of joy, she thanked Yiyi repeatedly.
Finally, Mo Ping sent her to the door, ensuring she would be punctual tomorrow.
"Don’t worry, this job is so good, I’ll definitely work diligently, no doubt I’ll be early tomorrow." Once confirmed, young boss Mo Yiyi mentioned the salary, she didn’t expect that cooking for only two people could earn sixty yuan a month, which is even higher than some workers’ salaries.
Hearing Sister in law Lin’s words, Mo Ping felt reassured.
As expected, Sister in law Lin arrived early the next day, when Mo Ping opened the door, he was still a bit sleepy, seeing her he couldn’t help but say, "Sister in law Lin, you’re here too early."
"Not early, the market’s already open, it’s best to buy fresh groceries early."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ping could only brush his teeth and wash his face, joining her to buy groceries, then handed her a month’s worth of meal money, "Here’s one month’s grocery money, return any surplus, but you don’t have to save too much, young boss says, make sure to give lady boss and the others a good supplement, at least two meat dishes every day."
"Alright, I understand."
Sister in law Lin accepted the meal money shakily, feeling the burden on her shoulders getting heavier.
She couldn’t believe the host family actually gave her three hundred yuan for groceries at once, which was a huge amount for her.
Seeing Sister in law Lin accept the money, Mo Ping also took her to the clothing store.
"Lady boss, this is Sister in law Lin who will be cooking for you from now on, if there’s anything specific you want to eat, let her know and have her prepare it for you daily." Mo Ping introduced both parties with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun smiled broadly and said, "Hello, we’ll be in your care from now on, though we’re not big eaters, just prepare something simple for us."
Seeing Ding Yuejun being so kind, Sister in law Lin felt reassured, replying promptly, "Lady boss, I’ll cook well."
By the time Yiyi and Fei Erya arrived at noon, Sister in law Lin had already prepared a feast.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Lin."
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Sister in law Lin waved her hand and said, "Not at all, it’s what I should do."
"Sit down and eat with us."
Seeing that her daughter and the others had arrived, Ding Yuejun invited Sister in law Lin to join them for a meal.
"No need, I’ll just eat in the kitchen, there are leftovers that are enough for me."
After saying that, she went back to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Ding Yuejun didn’t say more, inviting her daughter and Fei Erya to eat together.
"Mom, later on, I’ll go shopping with Er Ya, won’t be back for dinner, we’ll just grab something outside."
"Alright, since you’re going out, don’t skimp on anything, make sure to buy everything you need."
"Mm."
Yiyi nodded with a smile.
But in the afternoon, they didn’t end up buying anything, as they ran into Gu Tingyu when they stepped out.
