Chapter 333: Unable to help despite deep love
Tong Yao, walking out from the back room, overheard the couple’s conversation, and interjected crisply, "The milk tea shop is fully staffed, not lacking help.
"You have four people in your shop, you could just fire two!" Si Xiaohui said, "Don’t fire Gu Hongwei, he’s from our village. Fire anyone else you want. I’d say Song Yu and I are better than strangers, we’re family after all. It’s only right we earn money for our own. This is called ’keeping wealth within the family,’ isn’t it?"
She didn’t know those people anyway, it didn’t matter who got fired.
Song Yu’s face changed. He seemed a little upset, but held his tongue in front of the brother and sister-in-law.
Tong Yao rolled her eyes, "I can’t afford you two." Having them work in her shop was nothing but a nuisance.
Upon hearing this, Si Xiaohui was instantly anxious, "How can you say "can’t afford"?" she said. "Just pay us whatever you’re paying the others. If that’s not feasible, you can pay us a little less in exchange for room and board!"
Working in a milk tea shop was so easy! She could even brag about being a store owner. What future was there in hard labor at the factory? Being dirty all day, laboring for ten years and still being no more than a worker.
Tong Yao insisted: "No room and board, no job. I suggest you give up on this idea as early as possible!"
