Fang Hui rolled up her sleeves and came over to help.

The kitchen area was also easy to clean, the dough had already been kneaded and was resting, only needing to wash the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils before they could start testing.

She wanted to help, and Pei Qin didn’t refuse, letting her stir-fry while she pressed noodles to cook.

A few people ate together in the noodle shop.

Fang Hui hadn’t finished eating when she bluntly said, "If you open a noodle shop you will definitely need help, just let Dalang come to help you with odd jobs and watch the shop!"

She thought that by speaking up, Pei Qin wouldn’t refuse.

"The journey back and forth is long, and it isn’t good to have my cousin running around every day. I have already hired two women from town. Aunt doesn’t need to worry about being overwhelmed, neglecting your own matters, running all the way over here to help. We can manage over here!" Pei Qin said, smiling.

Fang Hui’s smile paused for a moment, "When we have our own people, why go to outsiders? This holed flatbread noodles recipe is a secret, if others learn it, it will be a huge loss. It’s always better to use your own family members! If the back and forth is inconvenient, you can let Dalang live in town, after all, his dad can take care of the family affairs at home!"

Pei Qin wanted to speak, but Fang Hui pressed her hand firmly, "That’s settled then! Having family help is always better than outsiders! I will have Dalang come over tomorrow!"

"Fine! I’ll pay my cousin wages," Pei Qin laughed.

Fang Hui’s eyes flickered and she spoke as if she had hired a permanent laborer, "He’s family, what need is there for wages! Having food and lodging is enough!"

Pei Qin smiled without responding.

Pei Qian was almost biting her chopsticks in half, Feng Bo was clearly up to no good, and her eldest sister had actually agreed to let him come to the noodle shop, he wasn’t there to help at all!

Although she had pushed her son into the noodle shop, Fang Hui still felt irritated thinking about the process and the matter of proposing marriage.

She was a Scholar’s daughter, and though her marriage wasn’t as good as her older sister’s, after Pei Zongli died and wound up that way, Fang Hui always had smooth sailing in the Feng family, listened to at home, over the years, she had developed a strong personality, feeling suffocated at the slightest frustration.

When she got home, she was still somewhat unhappy.

Grandma Feng comforted her, "The mourning period still lasts a while, take it slow! Later, when you live together day and night, it will get better!"

Feng Bo, however, felt it was better to have the engagement settled, at least then others couldn’t harbor any ideas, but for now, step by step it is. After tidying up the next day, he hastened to Taiping Town, ready to stay at Pei Qin’s house.

Pei Qian had already expressed strong protest to Pei Qin the night before, adamantly disagreeing with Feng Bo staying in their home. Chang Yonglin’s two guards were still renting in the neighboring house, just separated by a wall, and he had only brought a servant to attend to him. Feng Bo staying in their house was absolutely unacceptable.

Pei Yuan also felt that they shouldn’t let Feng Bo stay at home, "Cousin Liuming isn’t staying at our house, so Cousin Feng Bo certainly can’t stay either!"

"I didn’t say to let him stay at our house," Pei Qin said strangely, looking at the two of them with such a strong reaction, "I’ll pay him wages, and he can find his own place to stay and eat in town!"

Pei Qian and Pei Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Yonglin heard and said nothing, but when he went to school, he quietly tasked his guards with a few orders.

Feng Bo had planned well, staying at Pei Qin’s place gave a feeling of moving up in the world, even Fang Liuming hadn’t moved in yet!

Pei Qin directly gave him three hundred copper coins, "I’ve asked about others’ wages in town, and I’ve given you an average rate. There aren’t many people today, and Grandma Sun and the others will also come to help, so you should go out and find a place to stay first!"

Feng Bo was stunned for a moment, "Go out to find a place to stay..." His mind worked quickly, "You don’t need to pay me to find a place outside; I can just squeeze in with Wendong!"
