I think you should give this to your fourth sister-in-law? Um, I mean, Shen Yejun, the wife of Amu from your third aunt's family.
She was the younger sister of a scholar, well-read, and knew how to keep accounts.
She's also a woman, so she's meticulous and will find it easier to do these things.
Chi Yu hadn't expected him to push this task away, and after thinking for a moment, she asked:
"Does Ah Ye think that five hundred coins a month is too little for you managers?"
If you went hunting in the mountains, you could easily earn more than this in a month.
Facing his mother, his aunt, the clan chief, and the elders, Chi Ye didn't hide anything and immediately stated:
“Auntie, although this job is respectable, I am a grown man, and I only get five hundred coins a month, which is six taels a year. I really think it is too little.”
Another point is that I really don't want a bunch of women doing the work while I'm the only man there watching.
I'm afraid that if something gets out, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the lake at Tiger Head Cliff.
Chi Yu glanced at her older sister, then looked at him and said, "Aye, you may not know, but I initially spoke with Madam Zheng."
Once all the county towns of Jianzhou Prefecture are built, if this soap sells well, I will expand the workshops in other places as well.
Do you think that since it's all being managed by the women, who will take over when the expansion actually happens?
Or, who do you think would be suitable to go?
Now you're saying you want Shen Yejun to manage it, shouldn't you ask the clan leaders if they're willing?
Miss Shen is the sister of a scholar. She is literate and thoughtful, but she is still an outsider to us.
"It would be fine if she came in as a regular worker, but do you think it's possible to put her in charge of the entire workshop?"
Chi Qiao then added, "When I came back this time, I was accompanied by Chunxi, the head maid of Madam Zheng."
She's reached the age where she should get married.
She came back with us this time also to see if there were any suitable candidates among the unmarried men in Chijia'ao.
If she were to actually marry into our Chijia'ao family, I think she would be a more suitable candidate than Shen Yejun.
Of course, I'm saying this on the premise that you, Aye, really don't want to do this job.
Chunxi was Madam Zheng's personal maid, having been by her side since childhood.
Having been influenced by her surroundings, her interpersonal skills far surpassed those of Shen Yejun.
Chi Yu was unaware that Chunxi had followed her back.
She was somewhat surprised to hear her sister's words.
She was at home just now and didn't see him at all.
Could it be that she wandered around after arriving here?
Chi Qiao glanced at the confusion in her sister's eyes and continued:
"Then there is Zhong Yufeng, the daughter of the second wife of the Zhong family."
You should know something about the Zhong family, Aye, since you've been working in the county town.
As the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Zhong family, she was carefully taught by the second wife of the Zhong family from a young age.
In a few days, she will marry A-Kang.
I think she is more capable of managing everyone than Shen Yejun or Chunxi, who was once Madam Zheng's head maid.
Of course, we'd be more accepting of her taking charge.
Chi Kang, who had remained silent the whole time, smiled slightly when he heard Zhong Yufeng's words of affirmation. At the same time, his bronze skin turned slightly red with embarrassment.
