Don’t tell daddy
"Then Zan Zan will work for you," Ye Zexian was very much willing for his daughter to work at a better place. After all, how long would his daughter suffer under that woman? More importantly, he paused and then said, "Dong Dong, if you do not mind…can you keep the money with you? I mean, keep Zan Zan's salary with you and only give it to her when she wants it. As for the monthly expenses, you can give two hundred copper coins to her."
In fact, Ye Zexian had no reason to refuse such a good offer that Yu Dong had given to his daughter. Moreover, Ye Zexian also wanted his daughter to earn well such that she could live a better life in the future. It was just that if Ye Zexian allowed the entire income to be handed to Zi Zan then the main branch of the Zi family would be the one who would profit from it rather than their family.
