After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 231 Thrilling
Niu Niu is concerned about her mother, and no matter how Liu Xiaoru tries to tempt her with fun things outside, the child refuses to leave.

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

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

Tears kept welling up in the little girl's big eyes.

The pitiful look on his face was so heartbreaking that even Madam Qi, who was in charge of serving him, felt heartbroken.

What’s more, it’s Zhang Yuniang and Liu Xiaoru.

Zhang Yunniang originally wanted to use this method to let Niuniu know the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't expect that it 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 Niu Niu, so she could only leave home, looking back every few steps.

Niu Niu stayed in the house the whole day. When Zhang Yuniang was awake, the girl would be by her side. If Zhang Yuniang was resting, the girl would do her homework on the stone table in the yard.

The six-year-old child didn't make any loud noise the whole day, for fear of disturbing his mother's rest.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't sleep well. At night, she casually took some pills. Ignoring Liu Xiaoru's hesitant look, she announced that she was cured.

She didn't see Niu Niu smile the whole day. The little kid had a frown on her face the whole day. Zhang Yunniang couldn't bear to let Niu Niu be unhappy for too long.

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

Seeing her daughter's cautious look, Zhang Yunniang's heart melted into pieces. How could she bear to refuse her daughter?

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

Zhang Yuniang couldn't help laughing.

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

Niu Niu glanced at her mother.

Zhang Yuniang nodded gently at her and encouraged her, "You've been cooped up at home these days, you must be bored, it would be good to go out for a walk."

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

Liu Xiaoru also breathed a sigh of relief. In a few days, Sun Jiaxing would be on leave and would probably take Niu Niu to Sun's house. By then, it would not be her turn to play with the child.

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

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

Perhaps because Zhang Yunniang had recovered from her illness, Niu Niu was more relaxed. She looked around as she walked through the streets, and would stop to take a look when she saw something special.

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

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

Niu Niu suddenly froze where she was.

Liu Xiaoru was always paying attention to the child's movements. At this moment, 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 saw only that the carriage curtain was covered, hiding the people inside tightly. She could only pat Niuniu's head helplessly and said, "Our good boy also likes beauties."

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

Liu Xiaoru gently scratched the little girl's nose and said, "You have such a sweet mouth. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat later."

Niu Niu said, "I suddenly want to eat candied haws." "Does your tooth hurt?" Liu Xiaoru asked.

Niuniu struggled for a bit, but she didn't lie in the end. She nodded and said, "It only hurt a little bit at night."

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

Although Niuniu was a little disappointed, she was not the type to argue, so she nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll eat something else. I actually kind of want to eat the noodles we had the other day."

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

Although Shuying is a very good cook, the noodles that Old Liu sells in the alley are indeed unique and no one else can learn how to make them.

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

It seems that if you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.

Niuniu pointed at a person not far away and said, "Uncle Luo!"

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

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

A gust of wind blew.

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

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

Her mind kept echoing with what Niu Niu had just said: soul-stirring.

Such a beauty truly lives up to the description of these four words.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Luo was looking at the woman in the carriage with a gentle expression, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

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

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

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

Although Niu Niu didn't understand why, she saw that Liu Xiaoru seemed a little unhappy, so she didn't persist.

When the two, one adult and one child, arrived at the marinade workshop, three people were already 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 male laborers, but after thinking it over, she gave up. She knew that it was not easy for women, so she might as well give women a few more chances.

She opened the locked gate and the three women immediately went to work.

Although Liu Xiaoru was the boss, she did not slack off and started working. Even Niuniu helped obediently.

A quarter of an hour later, a woman with disheveled hair who looked to be in her forties ran in panic from outside.

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

Liu Xiaoru frowned slightly. She really disliked this guy. He behaved well when he was being recruited, but when he really started working, problems arose.

"Aunt Liu, I don't like this aunt." Niu Niu said in a low voice.

When Liu Xiaoru heard this, she made up her mind immediately. She 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, thank you for your hard work these past few days. I calculated carefully and found that we don't need so many people here. Take this money and you won't have to come here in the future."
