Chapter Eleven He's Back

  Murong Ying shook his head, "This is not it."

  "Really?" Ye Yun's eyes rolled around, "In that case, before he comes back, how about I work for you?"

  "Get a job?" Murong Yu didn't expect her to come up with such an idea. "Yuner, really no need..."

  Although occasionally busy times, manpower is slightly insufficient.

  But it shouldn't be cheap to let her work...

  Murong Ying thought of Ye Yun's ferocity when they were killing prices before, and she had some lingering fear.

  Ye Yun looked at Murong Rong's unnatural expression and guessed that he must be afraid, holding back her laughter. She said: "Don't worry, I won't charge you a single cent. You let me stay for free for so many days and even made medicine for me for so many days. I feel embarrassed too, so I'll just help you with work to offset the room and medical fees."

  "It's nothing. You were injured because I asked you to do this in the first place. A little medical expense is no big deal." He wasn't petty enough for that.

  "In short," Ye Yun said with her hands clasped together in front of her chest, "I'm very bored. I might have to stay here for many more days without paying. You can either let me work to earn my keep or I'll go stay at another inn and work somewhere else, then pay you back for the room and medicine fees for these few days. Choose."

  "......" Does she have any other choice? Murong reluctantly nodded, "Okay."

  Ling Feng has already made it clear, she can't leave, how could he possibly let her stay at another inn.

  Besides, the store has been busy lately, and if she helps out, it may alleviate a lot of burden.

  "Black Inn", because all the staff in the inn are black people, so it got its name. However, the person who named it was really bold.

  Meeting someone who is bold and carefree might be interesting, but if you're timid and serious, isn't that just asking for boredom?

  Besides, in this era, seeing a group of black people, even if they flash a set of white teeth and smile at you, shouldn't it be quite strange or frightening?

  "Where did they come from?" Ye Yun asked Murong Yu.

  Were there already black people in this era? The skin is so dark that it should be very pure, without any hybridization.

  "They are all native-born locals," Murong Yu understood what Ye Yun wanted to ask, "because their ancestors had dark skin, so they were born with this appearance."

  "What? Their ancestors?"

  "Uh, it's said that their ancestors were shipwrecked at sea and drifted here, where they were rescued by a fishing village girl. Out of gratitude for the girl's lifesaving kindness, they settled down here and never went back. And so, over time, there came to be many dark-skinned people in their village."

  "I see!" Ye Yun nodded.

  "Because of their unusual skin color, they have suffered a lot of discrimination and can't find good jobs, so I've brought them all here to open this black shop."

  "So that's how it is! Then you're also their benefactor!" Ye Yun patted Mu Rongying's shoulder in approval, "Business has been good lately, and it seems like everyone is slowly accepting their existence."

  Murong Ling smiled and nodded in his heart, having a slight appreciation for Ye Yun's unconventional behavior.

  "What should I do then?" asked Ye Yun.

  "There are many guests today, why don't you help Lao San wash the dishes?" Murong Ying pointed to a pile of dishes beside him.

  "Lao San?" Ye Yun raised her head and looked around for a long time, "Where is Lao San?"

  "You don't need to look for him, just call out and he'll appear."

  "Oh?" Ye Yun looked at Murong Yu with a mixture of doubt and curiosity. Was he really that capable? Could he just summon someone whenever he wanted to?

  However, she still listened and called out, "Old Three!"

  "Eh!" A dull response came from behind "Bowl Mountain".

  Lao San emerged with a head full of white foam, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Yun's stunned expression and flashed his pearly whites.

  Ye Yun looked at the exposed part of Lao San from head to toe, black and white alternating, really a good match. It looks like some kind of black and white sandwich cookie.

  "I'll help you with the dishes." Ye Yun rolled up her sleeves and walked into the "mountain of bowls".

  Before long, happy chatter was heard from behind "Bowl Mountain".

  Murong Yu's mouth corners slightly curled up with a smile, Lao San is no longer bored.

  Before long, Ye Yun had gotten along with Lao San so well that they were practically inseparable, and she was on the verge of asking about his birth date.

  At first, Lao San was somewhat skeptical that such a beautiful woman would help him wash the dishes.

  I thought Ye Yun was just pretending and would probably slack off after a while.

  Unexpectedly, she not only accompanied him to chat and relieve boredom in a very generous manner, but her dishwashing movements were also quick and skilled, and the dishes were washed very clean.

  In no time, more than half of the dirty bowls were eliminated.

  At once, he looked at this kind and capable girl with new eyes.

  In the next few days, Ye Yun helped Lao Si wash and chop vegetables for a while, and then helped Lao Liu entertain guests.

  Also helped Lao Wu chop firewood, and saw Lao Wu staring blankly by his side.

  Heavens! Looking at her slender arms, how can she have such great strength? Chopping firewood is both fast and accurate, not one bit inferior to him.

  Murong Ying had been observing Ye Yun, but unexpectedly he deliberately didn't arrange work for her, yet she was able to get along swimmingly in this store, mastering everything.

  In just a few days, she had done all the work in the store except for one thing: keeping accounts.

  Ye Yun would never cheat on accounts. When she went to Er Ge, it was just handing over the guest's money. However, Murong Yu also found that she calculated accounts extremely quickly and accurately.

  No matter how many dishes the guests ordered, she could accurately tell the price with just one glance.

  Sometimes she sees Lao Er busy with accounts and just hands him a bowl of tea, never participating.

  Murong Ying curiously asked her, "You help others with their work, why don't you want to help the second brother here?"

  Lao Er also immediately joined in, "Right, Yuner!"

  Why can't he enjoy the blessing of having a beautiful woman by his side, laughing and working together, when everyone else can?!

  "Hmm," Ye Yun suddenly realized that she seemed to have done something wrong. "I think it's better not to touch the money, after all, I'm just an employee, and taking someone else's money without their consent isn't right, is it?"

  Murong Ling was taken aback, what a clever and thoughtful girl.

  The second one also understood, "That's right." Then silently sighed in his heart, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bothered to keep track of the accounts.

  The following days passed very happily, and my throat also recovered unknowingly. Everyone got along very well too.

  Just as Ye Yun was about to forget why she stayed behind to work, Ling Feng finally arrived.

  That day, Ye Yun and Lao San went out to buy vegetables. When they came back, they saw Ling Feng talking to Murong Yu. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Ye Yun, only to give her a brief, indifferent look before withdrawing his gaze.

  He's finally back! Ye Yun couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Ling Feng.

  Still wearing white clothes, extraordinary and out of the ordinary.

  Now that he's back, isn't it also time for her to leave?
