After he finished eating, Chen Zimo said: ”Xiaoyan, I still have some things to do so I'll come see you another day.”

”Alright.” Mo Xiaoyan replied and turned to go back to work.

Coming out from the kitchen, Yang Danian was already inside the shop wiping the table.

”Big New Year, why did you come so early?” Mo Xiaoyan saw that it was still early, and her family had not come yet.

”It's getting late. I'll be over after breakfast.” Yang Danian said honestly.

After that, Mo Linyu and Mo Dalin came over, and even the Lady Li came over.

”Mom, why did you come here today?” Mo Xiaoyan asked with some surprise.

”I was just in the town, so I was bored and came over to help.” Lady Li was also a person who could not stay idle.

”Since you are all here, can sister-in-law lead Dongxue alone?” Mo Xiaoyan was a little worried that Liu Yuemei would take care of the children by herself. It was not convenient for him to cook.

”Your sister-in-law said she could stay there by herself.” Lady Li also felt that it was fine. In any case, when he was giving birth in the past, wasn't he the one who was bringing the children around?

”Oh, okay.” With the help of Lady Li, Mo Xiaoyan had an extra helper, which saved him a lot of trouble.

They had already been busy for a while in the morning, but Wang Xiuqin still had not come. She did not know if there was something that had delayed them, but it was inconvenient for them to not have a phone in the ancient times.

”Xiaoyan, don't you have a worker here?” Lady Li saw that Yang Danian was the only one there, and the other one hadn't come yet.

Mother, what do you think, Xiuqin? I don't know why she still hasn't come, maybe something has delayed her family. Mo Xiaoyan thought that she was not the type of person who liked to be lazy either. Furthermore, she usually came quite early in the morning, and she had not come even today.

”Then how is her work?” Lady Li wanted to know about hardworking.

”He's pretty hardworking.” Mo Xiaoyan spoke the truth.

”Oh, that's more like it.” Lady Li felt a bit more at ease after hearing Mo Xiaoyan's words.

Wang Xiuqin only came to the shop at noon.

He looked absent-minded, not knowing what had happened.

In the kitchen, Lady Li and Mo Xiaoyan were busy.

”Xiuqin, you're here?” Mo Xiaoyan greeted her after seeing her.

”There were some matters at home in the morning, so I was delayed. It's too late now, so I don't need the salary for today.” Wang Xiuqin walked into the kitchen and said.

”Are you done with your things at home?” Mo Xiaoyan asked in concern.

”It's about time.” Wang Xiuqin responded faintly.

Mo Xiaoyan saw that she was not in a good condition. In the past, she would talk and laugh whenever she worked, so she did not laugh anymore today. She did not know what happened.

It would be better to ask her when he had time, in case he was distracted from his work, Mo Xiaoyan would be embarrassed to talk about her.

Before she finished busying herself in the afternoon, Mo Xiaoyan told Wang Xiuqin to go back first.

It wasn't until all the customers had left that they started to pack their things. Mo Linyu sent Lady Li and Liu Yuemei back home but Mo Xiaoyan still stayed alone in the shop.

When Mo Linyu drove the ox-cart back to his house, he realized that the lock to the courtyard door was broken.

The door opened with a light push. Without a doubt, it was man-made.

”What's going on?” Lady Li did not dare believe it, it had only been one night and she had already snuck into her house?

”Mother, let's go in and take a look.” Liu Yuemei said while holding the child.
