Chapter 70: Paying Wages

Ye Xinyan waited for Lady Wang to enter before following her inside. With Qi Yougui in the yard, she didn't have to worry about Lady Han eavesdropping, and with one less person meddling, less talking would be needed.

Lady Wang made a false offer for Ye Xinyan to sit on the kang bed and said indifferently, "Ye Zi must have just had a meal, right? I won't pour you water, Great Aunt."

Ye Xinyan smiled nonchalantly, focusing on the matter at hand, "Great Aunt, I came today to discuss something with you."

"Our family's stall in the county town has been a bit too busy, and we were thinking about getting two people to help out," Lady Wang's eyes showed wariness upon hearing this. Did Ye Xinyan want to hire her family to work for her? Ye Xinyan continued, "Grandfather thought that instead of hiring outsiders, it would be better to have our own family members do the work, as they would be more reliable than strangers."
