So, it was a reconnaissance mission for salary information. Qiumei finally understood Chunhua’s purpose.
"How much could it be? Just over twenty yuan, I guess. I’m not very clear on it," Qiumei said vaguely and then changed the subject, "You’re going to work, who will take care of the child?"
"Send him back to his grandmother for help," Chunhua asked again, "What about Qiulan, are they still hiring?"
Qiumei hugged her son and said, "Honestly, I’m not very clear. If you really want to do it, you might as well ask Cheng Su. She’s the boss. Doesn’t she know better than I do?"
Chunhua lowered her head and said, "I’m just asking around first."
Qiumei fell silent. Her sister had repeatedly warned her not to meddle too much in Cheng Su’s household affairs or boast about how things were at the restaurant, to avoid making things difficult for Cheng Su.
So, she simply played dumb.
Seeing she could not get any information here, Chunhua sat for a while and then left.
Cheng Su soon heard about Chunhua’s intentions from Qiulan, and her brow furrowed slightly.
"My sister didn’t say much, just told her to ask you," Qiulan explained quickly upon noticing Cheng Su’s displeased expression, clarifying for her sister.
"It’s fine. Let’s wait until she brings it up with me," Cheng Su said with a smile, "You go back to work!"
Qiulan went back to her tasks, and Cheng Su pondered the matter.
To be honest, hearing about Chunhua’s intentions from Qiulan did unsettle her. If you want to do something, why not ask me directly? Why take such a roundabout way to inquire about someone else’s salary? What’s the point?
If Chunhua really does bring it up with me, what should I do?
Cheng Su looked around. The restaurant had plenty of staff at the moment, and the current waitresses were all young girls. Chunhua would not fit in; it wouldn’t be right to make her wash dishes.
