The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"There's a piece of land in the backyard over there that I'm going to use to grow something. Go help me plow it open later when the sun isn't so scorching."

Madam Zhou agreed, but in fact she did not wait until later as requested.

Instead, she immediately picked up her tools and started working, handing her son a hoe and asking him to join in.

"Mom works for the employer, so it's natural for her to enjoy the food provided by him, but it's different for you. Therefore, my child, you have to be more careful and don't learn from your dead father, who was idle and lazy all day long..."

Mrs. Zhou was giving these words of admonition to her son, and Lin Zhi, who happened to be passing by, overheard them.

Even though there was a wall between them, Lin Zhi had no idea exactly how the child would react.

However, there was no response from the child and no urging from Madam Zhou. Presumably, the child was following his mother's instructions and working hard.

Lin Zhi was very clear about this matter, so she didn't want to interfere in how other people educate their children.

After all, everyone has different ways of educating their children.

Although there are some things that she really can't stand, she can't conclude that other people's educational methods are wrong.

You have to know that everyone is in a different social class, and naturally their perspectives on things are also different.

Maybe some things that she thinks are very good may not necessarily be suitable for others.

After all, what suits you is the best.

When the three little ones returned home from school, they saw their mother concentrating on writing.

So, the three of them all slowed down their steps, for fear of disturbing her.

Seeing this, Daya hurriedly urged the two brothers beside her:

"Don't you two still have to copy out the storybook? Go ahead! I'll make dinner."

After the two brothers left, Daya lowered her voice and muttered to herself again:

"Alas, I know that mother wants to make money with the storybooks. It's a pity that we couldn't reach an agreement on cooperation with the library before, so mother hopes that you two brothers can take these storybooks to the college to increase your popularity."

When it comes to making money, the three little ones have surprisingly consistent attitudes.

In their minds, making money is the top priority and it definitely comes first!

The two brothers looked at each other and nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, Dalang suggested, "Why don't you ask the newcomer if she can cook? If she can, let her be responsible for cooking in the future."

The newcomer is naturally Madam Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou's daily work mainly involves grinding beans in the morning. The rest of the time she helps out wherever there is a shortage of manpower, just like a handyman.

Daya strongly agreed with this proposal.

After all, the food they cooked themselves was really hard to swallow.

Lin Zhi is a good cook, but she is busy writing a storybook and has no time to cook. The three of them don't want cooking to take up too much of Lin Zhi's time.

"Then I'll go ask now." Daya ran happily towards the direction where Madam Zhou was.

Not long after, she came back panting. "Mrs. Zhou said she can cook, but she's not very good at it."

Daya told the two brothers all the news she had heard, and then continued:

"I've asked her to try her hand tonight."

"Well done!" Dalang gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.

As long as Madam Zhou’s cooking is better than theirs, let her cook from now on!

Or even if the food cooked by Madam Zhou is as bad as theirs, then just let Madam Zhou take over.

The two brothers thought to themselves: Madam Zhou can't make food worse than ours, right? Thinking of this, they felt more at ease.

In this way, originally only the two brothers planned to copy the storybooks, but in the end the three little ones also joined the ranks.

However, Daya has never held a pen before. She just came here to join in the fun and practice calligraphy.

The way the family of four were concentrating in the yard made Madam Zhou envious.

She looked at her own child and then at the three little ones.

They are both widows, so why is her boss so outstanding?

……

Madam Zhou's cooking skills exceeded the three little ones' expectations. It could even be said that she was only slightly inferior to Lin Zhi's.

Even Lin Zhi himself praised the dishes cooked by Madam Zhou.

So, when the three cute little guys suggested that Madam Zhou be responsible for three meals a day for the family and employees, Lin Zhi thought about it and decided to ask Madam Zhou if she was willing to accept this important task.

Mrs. Zhou agreed without thinking and expressed her confidence in doing the job well.

Now she just wants to stay and work so that she and her children can have a place to live.

No matter what the request was, she would agree to it.

Lin Zhi was wondering whether he should hire someone else. After all, if Madam Zhou had to prepare everyone's three meals a day and do some heavy work, the workload would be too heavy.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhi finally decided not to recruit anyone for the time being.

She wanted to observe for a while to see how Madam Zhou performed at work and whether she was qualified for the job, and then decide after the probation period.

If Madam Zhou can handle the situation well, there is no need to recruit any more people. Just give Madam Zhou a raise.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Mrs. Zhou got up early and started a busy day.

Under Daya's patient guidance, Mrs. Zhou quickly mastered the key points of the job and demonstrated amazing adaptability.

Although she is petite and thin, she is very efficient and effective at work, more capable than three Lin Zhis combined.

If Lin Zhi happened to see Madam Zhou working hard, he would definitely sigh:

This is simply the real-life version of "ox and horse spirit"!

Madam Zhou only needs to be responsible for grinding the beans, and Lin Zhi said that the other steps must be kept secret.

So after grinding the beans, she obediently went to make breakfast for everyone.

Her son went to help.

Because the shop was closed today, after finishing these tasks, Mrs. Zhou cleaned up a bit and then had some free time.

She herself was not a person who could sit idle, and she was afraid that she would not be active enough and leave a bad impression on Lin Zhi.

Feeling uneasy, she took her son with her to continue tidying up Lin Zhi's backyard.

After lunch, Lin Zhi gave money to Daya and asked her to buy Zhou Niangzi's work clothes and a straw mat for her.

Daya was afraid that the clothes would not fit, so she finally pulled Zhou Niangzi out with her.

Mrs. Zhou felt dizzy all the way.

I haven't urged you to do this and I haven't commented on it. Is it because no one is reading this book? If no one is reading it, I won't update it.
