But since things have come to this, there's no other way. She instructed her young daughter not to go out these days, not to be discovered by anyone, but to first let her face heal.
Yang Xiaocui nodded in agreement. In her current state, she couldn't go out either. She had no way to explain if any villagers saw her like this.
"But, Mom, about next door..."
At the mention of next door, Auntie Lan Hua replied, "Why are you still talking about next door? The person paying the wages is gone, so what's the point of going? The work done these past few days was for nothing!"
Yang Xiaocui thought about it. Since Li Chuntao next door was gone, she would probably be overwhelmed with tasks and wouldn't notice her absence. But if she didn't show up without reason, it wouldn't be good. "Mom, let's go next door and resign from the job to avoid gossip."
"Alright!"
Auntie Lan Hua agreed and stepped out.
