Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby
Chapter 68 Recruiting
Guan Hongtian was a little confused when he heard this. What do you mean by buying a child?
He looked at his wife with a puzzled look.
Madam Wu was a little flustered. "Before, you blamed me for not being able to give you a child. I felt bad too. I heard that someone on the island was selling children, so I asked a few questions, and the person directly said that he sold the child to me.
As a result, I waited at the dock for so long that day, but no one came. I was so anxious that I went straight to the island. Her grandmother said she would sell the child to me, so I went to her house. This was not forced purchase.
The more Madam Wu spoke, the more confident she became. She had already made an appointment with others, so how could it be considered forced buying?
"The two people you mentioned have no connection to my family and cannot be the head of my family, so in my eyes, this is a forced purchase."
Xu Yiyi's expression was indifferent, which made the two of them feel uneasy.
Guan Hongtian was still unwilling to give up this idea, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment, and continuing to discuss cooperation would definitely be fruitless.
So he simply admitted his mistake to Xu Yiyi and left with his wife and children.
When she returned home, Mrs. Wu felt a little embarrassed and looked at her husband with an attitude of wanting to say something but hesitant.
It took a long time before he spoke.
"Are you interested in that little girl?"
I don’t know if it’s the lighting or if Xu Yiyi was supposed to be like that.
She is much more beautiful than before. It has nothing to do with her appearance, but her whole temperament is charming.
Add to that her pretty face, and she's even more stunning.
What man doesn't covet beauty? Just one glance at Xu Yiyi made her feel a sense of crisis.
Ever since her father passed away, her husband has not been as nice to her as before. He used to always be with her, but now they almost sleep in separate beds.
If her husband really married someone else, she wouldn't even be able to stop him.
After all, if she can't give birth, there will always be someone else who can.
She had no reason to stop him.
"I said, can you please stop dwelling on these things all day? I came to see her for something serious."
Guan Hongtian put the sleeping child down and turned to look at the woman in front of him.
This was the first time he felt that this marriage was a bit hasty. He didn't think so before, but after meeting Xu Yiyi, he felt that his wife had no opinions of her own, had nothing of her own to do, and was suspicious all day long, which made him very tired.
"Don't you know that the winery's business has been declining? Tonight, Xu Yiyi set up a stall, and I carried some wine here to sell. I made more money than I have made in the past period of time. I approached Xu Yiyi because I wanted to cooperate with her to keep our winery going."
Guan Hongtian is not a beast, and Xu Yiyi is so much younger than him.
Even if he really wanted to take a concubine, he would not choose a young girl.
"Is that true?"
Mrs. Wu sat by the window looking at her husband. When she saw him nod, she burst into tears and smiled.
"Then I'll go talk to her for you tomorrow. I'll sincerely apologize to her and invite her to work in our winery."
Mrs. Wu doesn't care about business matters, but she has seen her husband sighing several times during this period.
She felt distressed, and now that things had taken a turn for the better, she would definitely help her husband.
"You're right to think so."
Guan Hongtian walked up and hugged the person in his arms, but he felt a little tired.
The moon was at its zenith, and the other guests at the table gradually dispersed.
The stalls at the dock were closing one after another. A Yue and Xu Anyang were competing with each other. They didn't know what was wrong with them, but they kept running back and forth carrying the things they had for their stalls.
Afraid of being outdone.
On the way back, Xu Anyang rowed the boat and A Yue glared at him angrily.
"Sister Yiyi, what do you think about the winery owner cooperating with you? I don't think he will give up so easily."
Xu Yiyi moved slightly and changed her sitting position to be more comfortable.
"My business is going well, so there's no way I'm going to cooperate with him. He's a cunning man. Cooperating with him is like walking into a tiger's mouth. I won't even know how I ended up dying."
Xu Yiyi doesn't think she can beat this kind of person.
Hearing Xu Anyang sigh, he immediately looked over.
"Don't worry too much. Don't act like your great-grandfather when you're still young. If he comes again, I'll just ignore him."
Xu Anyang pursed his lips, thinking that Xu Yiyi was thinking too simply.
"If he comes again tomorrow, I won't let him sell alcohol next to the stall, so he doesn't have other ideas."
Xu Anyang decided to ask his father to come back early tomorrow, so he would wait at the dock.
However, he never expected that after returning, he heard his father say that he would leave the near-shore waters and would be away for several days before coming back.
"What about Sister Yiyi's stall? You don't know, tonight there was a shameless guy, carrying a bottle of wine and running around Sister Yiyi's stall, selling a lot of wine.
Afterwards, he shamelessly spent five taels of silver to have Sister Yiyi work as a cook in his house, specifically to cook for his winery."
Xu Anyang was a little angry.
Xu Pinghai looked at his son making so much noise. He was not much younger than Xu Yiyi, so why did he look so immature?
"I'm going to guard the stall."
Xu Anyang made the decision directly and Xu Pinghai did not object.
The next morning, Xu Yiyi prepared the batter and was ready to set up the stall, when she saw Xu Anyang guarding the door.
"Shouldn't you be out at sea with your father at this hour? Why are you here?"
Xu Anyang took the bucket of noodles and talked as he walked.
"My father and his family are going out to sea for several days. If I go with them, I won't be able to help you manage the stall. What if someone causes trouble again?"
"Since I'm going to pay you, I can't let you help me for nothing."
Xu Yiyi carried Wu Yuan out, and Agui came to the house to bring goat milk at this time.
When I saw them moving things, I came over to help.
There aren't many things on the stall in the morning, so they can be transported away by one boat. But in the evening, that's not the case, so they have to be transported by two boats.
"Sister Yiyi, you are being so polite. I am your brother, isn't it my duty to help you? I don't want any wages."
If his grandfather knew that he was charging money for working for Sister Yi Yi, he would definitely be beaten.
"If you don't go out to sea, you'll have less income. If you help me for free, won't you just eat for free at home? If you don't want to take money, then I don't need you to help me."
Xu Yiyi took the basin from Xu Anyang's hand.
The next moment, Xu Anyang compromised.
"Okay, okay, since you said so, I'll just take a little bit. Don't give me too much."
Xu Anyang made a gesture.
After arriving at the dock, he set up the pot very skillfully.
This is something he is used to doing. Er'er set up the stall by himself, except that he was not very agile in collecting money.
Guan Hongtian was very attentive and came early to wait.
When he saw Xu Yiyi, he greeted her with a smile.
"If what the young lady did yesterday offended you, please forgive me. My wife has also realized her previous mistake. I will ask her to apologize to you later. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."
Guan Hongtian was very humble, and his tone was somewhat disgusted and contemptuous towards Madam Wu.
This is the attitude towards the person next to you, not to mention outsiders.
Today's incident made Xu Yiyi feel a little disgusted with him.
