"I’ve asked Xiaoyu about it, and hiring you would cost sixty a month. Instead of giving that money to someone else, why not give it to me? I’ll stay to take care of the child for you," she said.
A few days ago, out of curiosity, Qin Jinlian had inquired about Xiaoyu’s salary and, upon realizing it was sixty a month, she felt quite envious.
She was only about a decade older than Yu Hong; she knew how to do all the chores that Yu Hong did every day. If Yu Hong could earn sixty a month, why couldn’t she?
