A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

“When the employer changed, we old folks became an eyesore. At first it was fine, they just skimped on our meals, but later they made some kind of rule.”

"For example, when he comes to the store, when he leaves, everyone must be there when he comes to the store."

"But as you know, I work in procurement, and I'm often out and about. I can't always get back to work. My new employer doesn't ask about the process, and I don't even get half of my monthly salary."

“It’s not just me, there are others too. We all have families to support. In less than a month, half of the staff left the store.”

"When new employees came, the evaluation criteria for them were different from ours. When we asked, the new owner said that we were the old-timers in the store, so of course the management was different."

"Moreover, the new employer brought in his cousin to help me, ostensibly to help, but actually to oust me."

“I had no work, so I just came out. I happened to hear about your restaurant, so I came to try my luck. I didn’t expect it to be you.”

It turned out to be the case.

Throughout history, there have been countless instances of brothers falling out over disputes over family property.

Of course, she wouldn't be so bored as to meddle in other people's business.

Yunlu said, "Uncle Guo, we're hiring right now. If you're interested, you can come work for my shop, as a purchasing agent."

Guo, the purchasing agent, exclaimed with delight, "Really? You want me?"

"Yes, I do. I'm a little hesitant to hire a stranger for this kind of procurement. We've known each other for a while now, and I trust you. The pay will be the same as when you worked at Shikeju, okay?"

Guo, the purchasing agent, nodded repeatedly, so happy he didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, boss, thank you. To be honest, my whole family depends on this little bit of money. I... I don't even know what to say."

"By the way, boss, have you hired enough workers here?"

"To be honest, Uncle Guo, you're the first one here," Yun Luo said with a smile.

Guo, the purchasing agent, rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat awkward. "Master Yun, two of the men who came with me are quite good. If you'd like, I'll call them over."

"Sure, as long as they have good character and are trustworthy, they can come."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell them now. By the way, Mr. Yun, when will our restaurant open? I'll let them know."

Yunlu silently considered it for a moment and said, "We have the staff and the purchasing agents. The main problem now is that we need a cook. Once we find a cook, we'll open for business."

"By the way, Uncle Guo, I remember your home is near town, right?"

"Yes, it's quite close to here; it only takes about the time it takes to eat a meal."

"Uncle Guo, I'll give you a key to the restaurant. I'll start calculating your wages from today. My home is far away, and it's inconvenient for me to travel back and forth. These next few days, you'll keep watch over the restaurant for me. If anyone comes to apply for a job, and they're suitable, just let me know!"

"okay!"

Guo, the purchasing manager, finally felt relieved.

He understands Yun Dongjia's character and gets along well with him. He will work even harder in the future.

With the business at the restaurant settled, Yunlu made a key for Guo Cai, and the family went home.

"Xiao Luo, is that procurement manager Guo reliable? Procurement is a big deal," Zhou Rong asked.

He's going to spend money to buy it.

If one were to act selfishly, how much silver would one have to embezzle?

Therefore, the person chosen for procurement must be of high moral character and reliable.

"Mother, do you remember when I first went to Shikeju and was given a hard time by Chef Wang? It was Uncle Guo who helped me. I trust him."

"That's good. By the way, Xiao Luo, I heard you say you're hiring a chef. So, will you be in charge of cooking the dishes at the restaurant, or will the chef be in charge?"

Yunlu had thought about this question.

“Mother, I don’t plan to stay in the restaurant every day. Otherwise, if I’m the only one cooking, I’ll be exhausted. Besides, I have more important things to do.”

"So, I plan to hire two more chefs, and as for me, I'll just cook a meal occasionally."

Hearing this, Zhou Rong felt relieved.

That's a good idea, but if she's not busy in the kitchen, my daughter has a lot more to do.

She felt a little distressed.

The daughter has sacrificed so much for this family. From now on, she should take better care of things at home so that Xiao Luo won't have to worry.

After a busy day, Xue Yunfeng and Qin Rou returned home as well.

The two of them have been busy with the pharmacy these past few days, leaving early and returning late every day, and they are exhausted.

"Aunt, Uncle, how's the pharmacy?"

Xue Yunfeng rubbed his shoulders and said, "It's mostly done. Next, Xiao Chen and I will go to buy medicinal herbs. I estimate that in another seven or eight days, the pharmacy can officially open."

"Your uncle even went to talk to Dr. Zhao about it, and he's going to come and help out when the shop opens," Qin Rou said.

Yunlu laughed, "That's great! There's strength in numbers. Uncle and Brother Gu are such good doctors, they'll definitely earn a lot once they become famous!"

"Whether we make a lot of money or not is secondary. The most important thing is that we're opening a clinic on someone else's turf. We can't just leave him to fend for himself, can we? He needs to eat too. Besides, I was planning to hire people anyway, so this is perfect."

"Xiao Luo, this time it's all thanks to the team you hired that it was built so quickly. Your uncle will pay you the money later."

"No need, Uncle, this is a family matter."

"You want what you want."

Qin Rou smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, listen to your uncle. We came to your village because we want to live a better life here. Once the house over there is ready, your uncle and I will move there too."

"Even though we're family, we should still give the money we owe. Even if Xiao Zheng were here, I would still say the same thing, so please don't refuse."

"Okay, I have good news too."

When Yunluo told them about the restaurant, the two were stunned at first, and it took them a long time to react.

"We're so busy...it's great! The restaurant and the clinic are both ready!"

Yunlu was also happy. It felt so good to see the whole family working together and things getting better. She said, "Aunt and Uncle, we'll need your help then."

"no problem!"

“Xiao Luo, when I went out this morning, I heard people say that the shepherd's purse has sprouted on the back hill. So, I had some free time at noon, so I went there and picked some. I've never prepared it before, so I'd like to ask you how to cook it.”

"Shepherd's purse?" Yunluo's eyes lit up when she saw the basket full of green vegetables. "Auntie, let's make dumplings tonight. Shepherd's purse and meat filling is the most delicious."

"Okay, then I'll go knead the dough."

"Then I'll take the kids to play," Xue Yunfeng laughed heartily.

In the kitchen, pots and pans created a harmonious symphony.

Although Qin Rou was kneading dough, her gaze would occasionally drift out and fall on Xue Yunfeng, who was holding Xiao Ran and Xiao Yu. She was fascinated, yet there was also a hint of regret in her eyes.

It was obvious to everyone that Yunlu was pregnant.
