Chapter 153 - 152: More Visitors at Home
Ye Xinyan spoke up, and what she said almost caused Nanny Jin to lose her breath.
Missy! Is this the time to worry about such trivial matters? Was the missy scared silly? But just now, with the way she intimidated Nanny Liu and the others with her words and tactics, she seemed quite shrewd and wise.
Before Nanny Jin could react, Ye Xinyan decisively said, "Hmm, let’s do it this way, our family won’t support idle people. Tomorrow I’ll go to Great Crane House and tell that fellow that my family doesn’t have the silver to support so many people, and have him send over the daily expenses for those few persons!" By the end of it, Ye Xinyan thought with clenched teeth.
Nanny Jin looked at Ye Xinyan, dumbfounded. Uh, it’s a bit embarrassing to say that out loud.
"With so many people’s meals, our small kitchen stove might not be able to handle it. Nanny, go find the construction site cook and have them prepare lunch for an extra ten people," said Ye Xinyan as she stood up from the stone and patted her clothes, "I’m going to deal with those two buckets of soured milk paste."
"Missy..." Nanny Jin called out weakly, not understanding her thought process, and even asked, "What about the matter of buying maids we spoke of earlier, are we still buying them?"
Ye Xinyan stopped, made a huge effort to drag her thoughts back on track, "Buy, why not? I’m still waiting for people to help work here. The people Sixth Master Rong sent just need to watch the door carefully, they don’t eat our rice and flour, so don’t expect them to do menial tasks."
After speaking, Ye Xinyan turned and walked toward the cattle farm, waving her hand behind her, "Nanny, go back and keep an eye on things. Although you brought people back along the outside of the village, with all the commotion Hongzhi and the others caused, I’m afraid most villagers know by now. Nanny Liu and the others are not familiar with the villagers after all, so go back and handle it."
