Chapter 441 Uncle Wang and Lady Xie Come Again (1)_1
Lin Yuan arrived at the back kitchen where Uncle Wang sat resting in front of the stove with his hands clasped over his head. Yet, it was the occasional sigh that betrayed Uncle Wang’s troubles.
"Uncle Wang, what’s wrong? Have you encountered some difficulties?" Although Uncle Wang and the others were employed by Lin Yuan, having spent a lot of time together, she had come to regard them as her own family. Seeing them in trouble made her feel very anxious.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s voice, Uncle Wang suddenly lifted his head, his face still showing signs of the distress and sorrow that he hadn’t had time to hide. Coupled with his graying hair, it was really hard to believe that he was only a few years older than Lin Jiaxin.
"Boss? You’re here?" Uncle Wang quickly stood up from the small stool, looking noticeably uneasy.
Lin Yuan gestured for him to sit down, then took a small stool for herself and sat as well, "Uncle Wang, do you have something on your mind? I saw you sighing just now."
Having been at Rice Flower Fragrance for a while, Uncle Wang and the others were familiar with Lin Yuan’s temperament. Knowing her to be approachable and caring towards the workers, for instance, when Aunt Chen’s grandson fell acutely ill, and she asked Lin Yuan for leave, Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation and even took out five taels of silver for her to take her grandson to the doctor.
Uncle Wang, who had previously worked at other shops, had never seen an owner like Lin Yuan. Sometimes he felt fortunate; if his family hadn’t experienced such troubles, he would surely be very happy now.
"Boss, I... I’m fine. Just a bit tired. Just resting, just resting," Uncle Wang didn’t plan on telling Lin Yuan about his family issues, not only because it was a bit embarrassing but more importantly, he didn’t want to burden Lin Yuan with his problems which involved some serious matters.
