Chapter 198: Meeting Without Recognizing, Space Upgrades Again (7)_1
Mo Yan didn’t stay long before she came out and hailed a carriage straight to Huixian Residence.
Upon learning of Mo Yan’s intentions, the Punishing Shopkeeper praised Mo Yan’s kind heart. Considering Yun Zhao’s young age, he let him start in the kitchen helping wash vegetables. When he got a bit older, they would see if he could do something else.
As for the salary, it was temporarily set at one hundred wen a month. There was an empty storage room in the back courtyard of Huixian Residence, which could be cleaned up for the siblings to move into, and they would also be provided with three meals a day.
For the siblings, this was already extremely good. Mo Yan knew that the Punishing Shopkeeper had taken in Yun Zhao because of her, so she thanked him repeatedly, keeping in mind the favor he had done for her.
When Mo Yan went back and told the siblings, they were incredibly excited. Yun Zhao, even more so, grabbed his sister Yun Sheng and immediately attempted to kneel before Mo Yan to kowtow, but Mo Yan stopped them.
"Big sister, we have nothing to repay you with, so please let us kowtow to you a few times?" Yun Zhao persisted, insistently pulling his sister as if to kneel.
"Big sister doesn’t want your repayment. All I want is for you both to be good people and work hard. That would be the best repayment for me."
Mo Yan, with a troubled expression, pulled them up. You kneel to the heavens, the earth, your parents, and the deceased. If these two kids kneel to her, wouldn’t she feel mentally burdened?
At noon, after taking them out for a meal, Mo Yan went to a ready-made clothing shop to buy a few sets of changeable clothes for each of them, then led them to Huixian Residence.
The Punishing Shopkeeper took the time to meet Yun Zhao, and seeing that despite his young age he was smart and quick-witted, and knowing that he could read, conducted a brief assessment. He nodded to himself, considering cultivating him, but decided that further assessment of his character was needed before making a decision.
Xiao Zhu settled the siblings into a small room in the back courtyard. Mo Yan also took the time to carefully instruct them a few more words, then left Huixian Residence amid the siblings’ reluctant gazes.
