Chapter 681 - 679 Can That Be The Same Level?
The inquiring woman quickly replied, "There’s no need for apologies, and thank you for the trouble. We will inquire with someone else." Saying this, she bowed to Lady Zhao in gratitude, then turned to look for others to ask.
Another woman suggested, "We should just ask a monk from the temple; eating out is always a bit more expensive than at home. If we hurry back now, we will certainly miss the mealtime. We don’t dine out every day, so eating out occasionally is still affordable."
The older of the inquiring women sighed, "If only my husband had skilled craftsmen under him or had the talent himself, would we be afraid of spending a little silver? If he had taken on that job, even dining out every day would not be a problem for us to afford."
Wong Qiao was about to turn around and leave with Lady Zhao but was stopped by Xiao Cui coming forward to call her.
Lady Zhao had been paying attention to the two women during their questioning. Could it be that they were looking to eat vegetarian food? Although the two women were dressed fairly well, in Lady Zhao’s eyes, their attire did not match her own. Moreover, the two women were only accompanied by one old woman servant, which clearly indicated they were not from a very wealthy family.
She couldn’t help but take a closer look at the two women, when she overheard their conversation about craftsmen and jobs. A thought flashed through Lady Zhao’s mind: good craftsmen, skilled labor—wasn’t that exactly what her Ah Qiao was best at? The woman’s husband might not have such skills, but Ah Qiao in her family did.
Lady Zhao hurriedly instructed Xiao Cui to call Wong Qiao back, and without waiting to speak with Wong Qiao, she quickly walked a few steps to catch up with the two women.
The two women were puzzled when Lady Zhao called out to them. Hadn’t she just said she didn’t know a moment ago? Why was she hurrying over now?
