Gu Fei has always admired Aunt Liu.

She was a rare sensible person who spoke and acted straightforwardly. She should not do anything to embarrass her.

Gu Fei thought about it and nodded: “If that’s the case, Aunt Liu, go ahead. It’s just that the work is a lot and dirty, and you have to wash dishes and clean up. I’m afraid you’ll be tired.”

“The salary is 500 copper coins a month, and the food is provided by the store. Do you think it’s okay?”

Aunt Liu was delighted. 500 copper coins a month means 6 taels of silver a year. This was net income. She can earn a living and save one person’s food for the family.

“That’s great. Thank you very much, Xiao – hahaha, thank you, Manager Gu.”

Gu Fei laughed. Aunt Liu got into the role quickly.

“Then when can I go to work?”

Gu Fei thought: “There is still more than a month left. We may need to do employee training in advance, but starting from the training, wages will be calculated.”

Auntie Liu didn’t bother about what the training was. She said happily: “Okay, then just let someone tell me when I should go.”

Auntie Liu met Xing’er at the door and left with a smile.

Half a month has passed since she hit the pillar that day. Xing’er has completely recovered. Fortunately, her aunt pulled her that day. Except for a concussion and a little skin breakage, there were no other problems.

Aunt Huang paid for the medicine, but Mrs. Qian insisted on getting two taels of silver, saying that it was to replenish Xing’er’s body, so she stopped making trouble.

Now, Xing’er refuses to marry. She doesn’t want to marry Shanzi, and she doesn’t want her mother to marry her to someone else. This matter was deadlocked.

Xing’er met Lian’er first when she entered the door and said uncomfortably: “I’m looking for Xiao Fei.”

Lian’er stepped aside: “Miss Xiao Fei is in the backyard.”

Xing’er lowered her head and walked quickly to the backyard. Gu Fei heard the voice and stood at the door to see who it was. Xing’er walked in, still two meters away, and suddenly knelt in front of Gu Fei with a plop.

Gu Fei was startled: “What are you doing?”

“Sister Xiao Fei, you are the only one who can save me now.” Xing’er kowtowed to the ground suddenly.

Gu Fei rushed over and grabbed her: “My gosh, you don’t want your head anymore, your injury has just healed.”

Mrs. Chen frowned unconsciously, smiled, and pulled Xing’er up: “Hurry up, you girl, how can you kneel down to your own sister? You are shortening her life, let’s talk it out.”

Xing’er hesitated for a while and made up her mind: “I heard from Juhua that Xiao Fei is going to open an inn in the city and is looking for people to work. I want to work in Xiao Fei’s store.”

Gu Fei didn’t say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Xing’er’s tears welled up in her eyes: “My mother wants me to get married, I don’t want to get married now, but if I stay at home, my mother won’t tolerate me. I think if I can go to work and earn some money, my mother won’t say anything.”

Gu Fei lowered her eyes and said after a while: “The store does need to recruit people, you can go.”

“But this exposure will still have some impact on a girl’s reputation.”

Xing’er smiled bitterly: “What reputation do I have now.”

“As long as I can earn money.”

Gu Fei raised her hand, “I haven’t finished yet, and there’s your mother, you should talk to her first, I don’t want your mother to come to my house every few days after I recruit you, blaming me for kidnapping you to work.”

“If you want to go, let your mother tell me in person.”

Xing’er looked at Gu Fei pleadingly: “My mother, she doesn’t dare to offend you, she will listen to what you say, can you help me talk to her?”
