I became a farmer's wife, and the cruel and powerful officials forced me to give birth to a chi

Because there was a lantern hanging in the yard that would burn until dawn, Li Yujiao could clearly see in the light of the lantern that the figure was Wang!

Li Yujiao was extremely surprised.

She asked Jing Qishan in a low voice: "She still wants to steal the formula?"

"What else?" Jing Qishan asked back.

Li Yujiao was just puzzled: "She wouldn't want to open a hot and sour noodle shop, right?"

Jing Qishan sneered, "She insisted on coming to work for you, even if it was only one tael of silver a month, she would be willing to do it. These past few days, I have deliberately assigned her only the dirty and tiring work, but she has been enduring it. Do you think she really wants to fill the hole at home?"

"Is she being instructed by someone?" Li Yujiao asked.

"The one who ambushed you by the river last time was Young Master Chen. I chased him and warned him at that time. I guess he still hasn't given up and vowed to get the recipe of hot and sour noodles. I'm afraid this Wang was sent by them!"

Li Yujiao said angrily: "I felt sorry for Wang and wanted to take her in, but I didn't expect that she had bad intentions!"

Jing Qishan looked at her and said, "This kind of person just likes to make trouble. Why don't I just knock her out and throw her into the river? She's scared once, and she won't dare to do it again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yujiao immediately said, "No!"

"Why not?" Jing Qishan felt that after he was reborn and fell in love with Li Yujiao, a lot of his hostility had disappeared.

If it were in his previous life, he would have killed Wang long ago!

Li Yujiao said, "If you throw her into the river, she might die. You don't need to bear a life for such a small matter. Even if she doesn't die in the river, she might be washed downstream and meet a villain. Then her reputation will be ruined. It's no different from killing her."

Jing Qishan said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "You are quite kind."

Li Yujiao looked at her seriously: "I'm not kind. If she threatens my life, I might kill her. But it hasn't come to that yet. Leave this matter to me!"

"How do you want to deal with it?" Jing Qishan asked.

Li Yujiao thought about it and immediately laughed: "I'll go scare her too!"

……

After Wang sneaked into the kitchen, she counted the remaining ingredients on the stove one by one.

There were no refrigerators in those days, so there wouldn’t be much food left over every day.

She counted them one by one: "Fried peanuts, sugar, vinegar, this is... Sichuan pepper? Ah Qiu!"

She sneezed because of the pepper.

Just after the fight, she suddenly heard some noise at the door. She turned around and unexpectedly saw a "female ghost" standing at the door.

She was so scared that she immediately screamed "Ah" and then fell on her butt.

"Ghost, ghost..."

Wang almost fainted.

At the door, Li Yujiao pushed her long hair back and revealed her face.

Ever since she said she wanted to scare Wang, Jing Qishan pushed her hair forward to cover her face and asked her to put on his white undergarment. She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that she looked like a ghost.

When Wang saw that the person coming was Li Yujiao, she finally calmed down.

"Why are you pretending to be a ghost and scaring people?" Wang asked.

Li Yujiao looked innocent: "Sister-in-law, why are you here in the kitchen so late at night?"

"I, I, I..." Wang couldn't say that she came here to steal the recipe.

She hadn't had a chance to enter the kitchen in the three days since she came here. She finally saw a few ingredients just now, but after such a shock, she forgot everything again.

"I'm hungry and can't sleep, so I wanted to find something to eat!" Wang made an excuse.

Li Yujiao said, "Really? But at dinner, I clearly saw you eat three bowls of rice. Are you still not full? If you are like this, I won't dare to take you in. You will eat me to death!"

When Wang heard that she was going to be kicked out, she was scared. She was not a fool. If she didn't get the recipe, Yuelai Restaurant would definitely not take her in, and she would get nothing.

"I'm suddenly not hungry anymore. I'm going back to sleep now!" When Wang got up, her legs were weak.

When she passed by Li Yujiao, she looked at her in shock.

But Li Yujiao stopped her again: "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."

"What?" Wang asked.

Li Yujiao pointed to the table and chairs in the yard and said, "Let's go sit down there and talk."

Wang couldn't help but go over and sit down.

Li Yujiao also sat down in front of her.

At this time, Jing Qishan considerately brought her a bowl of tea, but only gave it to Li Yujiao and not to Wang.

Wang said awkwardly, "Third brother is really considerate. Your eldest brother has never poured me tea."

Li Yujiao took a sip of tea and then went straight to the point with Wang: "Sister-in-law, your main purpose for coming to work for me is to steal the recipe, right?"

"No, that's not true!" Wang naturally refused to admit it.

Li Yujiao said: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but if you dare to do bad things again, I promise that you won't even know how you died!"

Wang was so angry that she said, "I said I didn't do it. Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

"It's better if you don't, but I want to warn you. If you do it again, you won't just be scared like tonight. You may be thrown into the river and drowned, or your body may be left exposed in the wilderness."

Wang shuddered, "Third sister-in-law, don't scare me."

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't beat around the bush with you. I know that some people will use our relationship as sisters-in-law to paint a picture for you and ask you to come to me to steal the recipe.

But you are not a fool. Do you think these people are trustworthy? Will they treat you well after they get the formula? Think carefully about it. If you still want to do these insidious things for them, then leave as soon as possible. I won't tolerate you here.

But if you really want to stay and work hard, then after the one-month probation period, your monthly salary can be increased to two taels of silver. Think about it and give me your answer when you have made up your mind."

After Li Yujiao finished speaking, she drank the tea on the table.

……

When she reached the attic, she saw Jing Qishan waiting at the door of the room.

In the darkness of the night, his tall figure leaned lazily in the corridor, with a hint of obscurity in his expression.

There was also a hint of oppression coming from his aura.

He had obviously heard her conversation with Wang.

He asked calmly, "Do you really want to be so kind to her that you not only don't kick her out, but also give her a raise? Let her continue to work here?"

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "It's not that I'm kind. First of all, I really need someone here, and she's a good worker. Second, I gave her a choice, it's up to her to leave or stay. But if she stays, I'll treat her as my long-term worker, and I won't reduce her salary!"

Jing Qishan chuckled again.

At that moment, Li Yujiao suddenly realized: he is a future treacherous minister, and he will definitely use people if he can be used, and kill them if he can't be used.

They are not from the same world!

She had done so much for him, just hoping that he would not kill her in the future.

She couldn't help but say: "Jing Qishan, you have your way of dealing with people, and I have mine!"

However, he said in the darkness: "Your way of dealing with people is to be kind to the whole world, but ignore me!"

Li Yujiao: …
