ch 152 - Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone (5)

“No worries, dad. I got it handled. This family needs your help elsewhere!”

“If you need anything, you must let us know. We will figure it out together!”

“Dad, don’t worry. I understand!”

“Oh yes, Xiao Xiao, Innkeeper Zhu just mentioned that he was almost done with training the servants, and that some of them are not suitable to be kept. You got any ideas?”

Cheng Biyuan thought about another issue.

“Dad, if they are not suitable, let’s not keep them. We will just let them go!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao seriously.

“You are right that we shouldn’t be keeping them!” said Cheng Biyuan, a bit troubled. “I heard from Innkeeper Zhu that some of these folks even like to take advantage of us. Keeping these folks will surely mean troubles in the future, but…..

“But, we are so shorthanded. Now that we are expanding our family house, that will become an issue. Innkeeper Zhu suggested that we bring in some more from the outside!”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, “Dad, let’s hold off on that for now. I will make a trip out in a bit, let’s wait for me to come back before making that decision!”

“A trip out? Where will you be going, Xiao Xiao?” paused Cheng Biyuan.

“Don’t worry, dad. I just want to walk around the county for a bit!”

“Xiao Xiao, you want to go pick our servants by yourself?” Cheng Biyuan guessed it right away and continued saying, “No! I can’t let you go out there by yourself. Letme handle this, I will go and bring some helper hands back!”1

“No, dad, I will go!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, “I need to test out something, so just let me handle this one!”
