Liu Ergou's refusal was something Feng Chunling had never anticipated.
In an instant, her gaze toward Liu Ergou filled with pleading.
"Ergou, Auntie has agreed to all of your terms," she said. "How can you not be willing to help me with this one small favor?"
"Although Yang Mei is a bit temperamental, with me here, you can rest assured..."
Before Feng Chunling could finish, Liu Ergou interrupted her. "Auntie, you're overthinking things!"
This comment left Feng Chunling's mind spinning, unable to grasp what he meant.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Liu Ergou explained, "Auntie, I'm not that petty. I won't hold a grudge against Yang Mei. But think about it. If I really arrange for her to work there, she'd be with you every day. What about us then? You'd be the one going hungry!"
The moment he said this, it dawned on Feng Chunling, and she finally understood his meaning.
