Gale considered the advantages of keeping a half-baked oracle as a housekeeper. Certainly, she could give omens of all the bad stuff that could happen to them. Of course, they couldn't be absolutely perfect, or not nearly, but they would solve most of his problems for sure.
Gale had already interviewed the handfuls of candidates Wang Li looked for him, but as he had feared, most of them were gold-diggers, or not nearly qualified enough. They simply wanted to get the post for one benefit or another without a base of skills to provide with.
Of course, the set of skills Gale was looking for were high, and this was merely a growing rural town.
Now Gale was seriously considering taking Ai as the housekeeper, although he feared Ai merely mentioned it as a joke.
