Tong Yao, walking out from the back room, overheard the couple's conversation, and interjected crisply, "The milk tea shop is fully staffed, not lacking help.
"You have four people in your shop, you could just fire two!" Si Xiaohui said, "Don't fire Gu Hongwei, he's from our village. Fire anyone else you want. I'd say Song Yu and I are better than strangers, we're family after all. It's only right we earn money for our own. This is called 'keeping wealth within the family,' isn't it?"
She didn't know those people anyway, it didn't matter who got fired.
Song Yu's face changed. He seemed a little upset, but held his tongue in front of the brother and sister-in-law.
Tong Yao rolled her eyes, "I can't afford you two." Having them work in her shop was nothing but a nuisance.
