Chapter 231 Thrilling

Niuniu was concerned about her mother. No matter how Liu Xiaoru tempted her with fun things outside, the child refused to leave.

"Niuniu, be good. If you stay at home, your mother won't be able to rest and recuperate." Liu Xiaoru said.

Niuniu shook her head and said, "Then I will go to the yard to watch. I will be good and not make noise. I just want to see my mother is well."

Tears kept rolling in the little girl's big eyes.

Even Mrs. Qi, who was in charge of serving, felt distressed when she saw her pitiful appearance.

Not to mention Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru.

Zhang Yunniang originally wanted to use this method to let Niuniu know the severity of the situation, but she didn't expect that she almost broke her heart.

She even wished that her "illness" would be cured immediately, so that her daughter would not be sad.

Liu Xiaoru couldn't persuade Niuniu, so she could only leave the house with a look back every step.

Niuniu stayed in the house all day. When Zhang Yunniang was awake, the little girl was by her side. If Zhang Yunniang rested, the little girl would do her homework on the stone table in the yard.

The six-year-old child did not make any loud noise all day, for fear of disturbing her mother's rest.

Zhang Yunniang could not sleep well. At night, she took some pills casually. She ignored Liu Xiaoru's hesitant look and announced that she was cured.

She did not see Niuniu smile all day. The little child frowned all day. Zhang Yunniang was reluctant to let Niuniu unhappy for too long.

When Niuniu learned that her mother had recovered, she immediately cheered, and then clung to her mother tightly and asked, "Mom, you are cured and no longer sick. Can I sleep with you at night?"

Seeing her daughter's cautious appearance, Zhang Yunniang's heart melted into a ball. How could she refuse her daughter?

After Niu Niu got the permission, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She said happily: "Don't worry, Niu Niu is very good at taking care of people."

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xiaoru took this opportunity to ask: "Niu Niu, now that your mother has recovered from her illness, can you accompany me out tomorrow?"

Niu Niu glanced at her mother.

Zhang Yunniang nodded gently at her and encouraged: "You have been staying at home these days, and you are going to be bored. It's good to go out for a walk."

Niu Niu really wanted to go out, so she agreed.

Liu Xiaoru was also relieved. In a few days, Sun Jiaxing would be on vacation, and he would probably take Niu Niu to Sun's house. By then, it would not be her turn to play with the child.

The small workshop of marinated ingredients is not far from the Gu family's house, and it only takes a cup of tea to walk there.

Niu Niu was held by Liu Xiaoru's hand and walked slowly through the alley.

Perhaps because Zhang Yunniang recovered from her illness, Niuniu relaxed her mind. She looked around while walking through the streets and alleys, and would stop to look at anything special she saw.

Now a carriage parked on the side of the road caught her attention.

The carriage quietly opened the curtain, revealing a pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes behind it.

Niuniu was stunned.

Liu Xiaoru always paid attention to the child's movements. At this time, she lowered her head and asked, "My dear, what's wrong?"

Niuniu whispered, "The sister in the carriage is so beautiful."

Liu Xiaoru followed Niuniu's line of sight, but only saw that the curtain of the carriage was covered, covering the people inside tightly. She could only pat Niuniu's head helplessly and said, "Our dear also likes beauties."

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "Aunt Liu, you are also beautiful in my heart, and I like you so much!"

Liu Xiaoru gently scratched the little girl's nose and said, "Your mouth is so sweet. I will buy you whatever you want to eat later."

Niuniu said, "I suddenly want to eat candied haws."

"Does your tooth hurt?" Liu Xiaoru asked.

Niu Niu struggled for a while, but finally did not lie. She nodded and said, "It only hurts a little at night."

Liu Xiaoru shook her head and said, "Then you can't eat candied haws, but I can buy you anything else as long as it's not sweet."

Although Niu Niu was a little disappointed, she was not the type to pester. She nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll eat something else. I actually want to eat the noodles I ate that day."

When Niu Niu mentioned the noodles that day, Liu Xiaoru couldn't help but salivate.

Although Shuying's cooking skills are very good, the noodles sold by Lao Liu in the alley are indeed unique and no one else can learn to make them.

"If you meet your Uncle Luo later, I'll ask him for you." Liu Xiaoru said.

It seems that if you mention the devil, the devil will appear.

Niu Niu pointed to a person not far away and said, "Uncle Luo!"

Liu Xiaoru looked up and saw that Shopkeeper Luo was standing outside the carriage on the side of the road, saying something to the people inside.

That carriage happened to be the one that Niu Niu mentioned earlier that hid the beauty.

A gust of wind blew by.

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing the face of the girl inside the carriage.

Liu Xiaoru had seen beauties more than once, but this was the first time she had seen such a breathtaking beauty.

Her mind kept echoing what Niuniu had just said: thrilling.

Such a beauty really lived up to the evaluation of these four words.

Shopkeeper Luo looked at the woman in the carriage with a gentle expression at this time, as if looking at a rare treasure.

Liu Xiaoru didn't know why, but a sour feeling suddenly emerged in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Let's go find Uncle Luo, I also want to talk to the beautiful sister." Niuniu pulled Liu Xiaoru's hand and was about to go over there.

But Liu Xiaoru held her back and said, "My dear, forget it, let's not disturb them."

Niuniu didn't understand why, but she saw that Liu Xiaoru seemed a little unhappy, so she didn't insist.

When the two arrived at the marinade workshop, there were already three people waiting at the door.

After Liu Xiaoru opened the door, the three strong women walked in.

Liu Xiaoru originally wanted to hire a few strong men, but after thinking about it, she gave up. She knew that it was not easy for women, so she might as well give them more opportunities.

She opened the locked yard door, and the three women immediately started working honestly.

Although Liu Xiaoru was the boss, she didn't slack off and started working. Even Niuniu helped obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, a woman with messy hair who looked more than 40 years old ran in from outside in a panic.

"Boss lady, I'm sorry, I overslept this morning. Don't worry, I will come early tomorrow." Although the woman said so, there was not much apology on her face, and it seemed more like she was just going through the motions and waiting for Liu Xiaoru to forgive her.

Liu Xiaoru frowned slightly. She didn't like this person very much. She behaved well when she was recruited, but when she really started working, she had problems.

"Aunt Liu, I don't like this aunt." Niuniu whispered.

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she immediately made up her mind and took out a handful of copper coins from the house and handed them to the woman who had just arrived and was slacking off.

"Aunt Zhao, you have worked hard these days. I calculated carefully. We don't need so many people here. Take this money and you won't have to come here in the future."
