Xu Yingtao looked up at her and said with a smile, "Mom, how do you want me to deal with this?"

Hearing this, Jiang quickly shook her head and waved her hands, her expression showing a bit of helplessness: "I really can't make up my mind about this matter, don't ask me."

Seeing this, Xu Yingtao sighed in her heart.

Compared to when I first met her, Jiang's personality has actually become much more outgoing and she is far less cowardly than before.

However, the cautiousness rooted in her nature always prevented her from being aggressive.

You don't have to be aggressive, but you can't do without it. Otherwise, sooner or later, good people will be bullied.

Xu Yingtao pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Mom, you know that I have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders. I can't always keep an eye on four or five workshops. Although Grandma Zhou and Auntie Zhou have done their best, they have limited energy after all. In addition, they are not related to me, so it is inevitable that some people will not obey. At this time, someone who is trustworthy and closest to me must stand up."

How could Jiang not understand what she meant? She swallowed nervously and said, "But I have to take care of this stall of marinade powder packets."

Xu Yingtao didn't expose her, but just smiled and said, "Mom, these are all our family's livelihoods, and we need your help to supervise them. If you only look after the marinade stall every day and ignore the other workshops, there will be others to help you, such as my aunt."

Jiang bit her lip and didn't respond.

Xu Yingtao continued to instigate: "It's okay for her to be in charge, but you know her. She likes to climb up the ladder. Today she dares to teach her aunt who doesn't get along with her in my name, and tomorrow she will dare to take kickbacks and make money behind our backs.

I have worked so hard to run these workshops, just to earn a fortune for Xiao Bai and Ali, are you really willing to let this money that should belong to our family fall into the pockets of others?"

Jiang suddenly panicked and blurted out: "How can that be possible!"

People are like this. They don't feel the pain unless the whip falls on them, and they will just stand by and watch unless their own interests are violated.

If she didn't scare Jiang, she would never leave this small courtyard.

Sure enough, after struggling for a while, Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will visit a few workshops every day when I have time!"

now it's right.

Xu Yingtao smiled with a look of triumph.

In fact, when it comes down to it, Chen didn't do anything too out of line. According to Mrs. Zhou, she was just a little picky now. She disliked the work in the Castanopsis workshop because it was too tiring, and wanted to switch jobs with the people in the konjac workshop.

The people in the konjac workshop were naturally unwilling, but because Chen was Xu Yingtao's aunt, they did not dare to refuse openly and reported the matter to the team leader.

It just so happened that the team leader of the konjac workshop was Aunt Wang, who had always been at odds with Chen, and she immediately had a big quarrel with Chen.

Chen was also unwilling to accept the defeat. She pointed at Aunt Wang's nose and started to curse her. Finally, she brought up Xu Yingtao's name, saying that even if the sky fell, she was still a relative of the second house and the eldest aunt of the young master. Who do you think you are to dare to bully me?

Aunt Wang was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and quarreled with Chen for three hundred rounds, which alarmed Mrs. Zhou who was working in the fern root workshop.

That's what happened.

But Xu Yingtao would never tolerate it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xie Bai stepped into the kitchen.

Xu Yingtao turned around and saw that there was no one behind him, so she asked, "Where's Ah Li?"

"Playing hide and seek with Rich in the yard."

"I forgot to ask you, are they okay with eating cold rabbit?"

"They" naturally refers to the Yan family.

Xie Bai nodded. "When it was delivered at noon, Master tasted it and praised it highly. Master's wife also said that the rabbit meat tasted delicious, the meat was tender and chewy, far better than what she had tasted before. Sister Yunlan said she wanted to eat it tomorrow, so please make more."

Xu Yingtao tried not to laugh.

Xie Bai had been studying with Yan Heng for more than a month, and his speech and behavior had indeed become more scholarly, and he had also become much more stable.

But his height has not changed, and combined with his pretentious tone, there is an inexplicable sense of humor.

But she couldn't laugh at him in front of the child, so she tried to keep her face serious and nodded gently in agreement: "Okay, I understand, you go back to your room and practice calligraphy first, and don't come out unless I tell you to."

Xie Bai was startled. When he saw the hot water bubbling in the pot, he thought of the person his sister-in-law had bought for no apparent reason. Suddenly, he realized what had happened. He turned around quickly and fled from the kitchen in a panic.

Xu Yingtao finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and Jiang also started laughing.

Xu Yingtao and Xie Li were busy outside all day today, and with the arrival of Zhang Xiaohua, Xie Bai's routine classes were suspended for a day. The family washed up and went to bed early.

Zhang Xiaohua thought she would be too scared to sleep because of the unfamiliar environment.

But when she lay on the soft mattress, covered with a warm quilt, and listened to the even and long breathing of the little boss beside her, an inexplicable sense of security arose spontaneously, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

In her dream, Zhang Xiaohua met her mother.

The woman, who always had a sad face, showed an unprecedented smile in her dream.

She said, "Hua'er, you are finally living a good life now, and I can leave with peace of mind. Just remember to listen to your master's words and be diligent. Don't be cunning or treacherous. Your good days are still ahead!"

When Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside the window.

She was so scared that she sat up immediately.

She had never slept till this hour when she was at home before.

Looking around again, there was no one around. Reaching out and touching the quilt, she found it was completely cold. Zhang Xiaohua's heart sank immediately.

After quickly putting on her clothes and braiding her hair, Zhang Xiaohua rolled out of bed, but the wound on her forehead was affected, causing her to gasp in pain.

As soon as Xu Yingtao entered the room, she saw her holding her head with her hands and her eyes were red. She couldn't help but said lightly, "You, if you are injured, you should rest well. Why are you getting up so early? I'm not rushing you. Go back to bed and continue to rest."

The reason why she got up early was because her biological clock had already been established. In addition, her physical condition was too poor, so she took advantage of the early morning when no one would disturb her to go to the yard to practice Ba Duan Jin and other aerobics.

It’s no wonder, after a month of training, I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but she feels that her physical fitness has improved a lot, and even her hair has grown thicker.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to continue sleeping, so she spoke timidly, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Little Master, I'm not sleepy anymore. If there's any housework, just tell me to do it."

Seeing her cautious look, Xu Yingtao had to slow down her tone: "Since you are not sleepy, go wash up first. Be careful not to touch the wound on your forehead. After washing up, we will have dinner."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned.

In her entire life, she had never seen any farmer eat early in the morning. Eating such a meal would waste a lot of food.

However, when she saw the white rice porridge, sweet bean buns, boiled eggs and spicy dried radish on the table, she became completely uneasy.

This meal was almost as much as her family’s consumption of fine grains for half a month.

Just as she was thinking, she heard a slight "crack" sound in front of her. Zhang Xiaohua lowered her head and saw that the young master had placed a boiled egg in front of her.
