Chapter 140 - 139: A Woman’s Reputation is of Utmost Importance
Ye Xinyan immediately understood Nanny Jin’s meaning upon seeing the old man’s reaction. She doubted her own intelligence for a moment and foolishly asked again, "What inconvenience?"
Nanny Jin’s expression was serious, "It’s also my neglect, I have been too busy these days, forgetting such an important matter." Ye Xinyan was even more confused. How important could it be? Why did she not know about it?
"Ye Zi, you are now in charge of the cattle farm’s affairs, and with so many men coming and going, you are the only woman there. Speaking of such things, it’s never pleasant to hear. If this continues, by the time you remarry, how can we speak well of you to a good family?"
Ah! A wave of frustration washed over Ye Xinyan. Was she really seen as that desperate to marry off?
Nanny Jin’s words made Qi Younian feel ashamed, and in this matter, he had failed to consider his granddaughter’s situation as an elder should. However, seeing the troubled look on Ye Zi’s face, Qi Younian couldn’t bear it.
Qi Younian quickly changed the subject, admitting his mistake to Nanny Jin, "Nanny is right, this matter has been overlooked by me, I should have thought of it earlier. Alright, let’s do as Nanny suggests, we’ll buy a maid first. After some time, when we calculate the income from building the cattle pens at the farm, we’ll buy a capable old woman servant to accompany her."
Are we forming a united front now? No need for further discussion?
Ye Xinyan blinked, speaking with a trace of embarrassment, "Well, our family isn’t wealthy at the moment, and we still have to build a new house soon. There are many places where Silver Coin will be needed. Buying maids like this seems like an unnecessary expense, we should save where we can. At most, I’ll just be more careful in the future. Besides, grandpa is still at home, isn’t he? It’s not like I’m dealing with outside men on my own."
