Before Qiu Tong could speak, a series of footsteps were heard, and upon raising their heads, they saw the one-armed old man briskly walking into the hall.
As the one-armed old man approached, he greeted the two of them. The young lady nodded her head, while Qiu Tong hurriedly returned the greeting. The young lady asked, "Mr. Yu, what is the matter that you look so flustered?"
Mr. Yu frowned and said, "Young lady, Liu Er, who was weeding the medicinal fields yesterday, had to take leave due to his mother's death and is now back home. There is a lack of manpower in the medicinal fields. I informed Qiu Tong at noon, but just now I saw a ten-year-old boy standing in the courtyard. Is that who Qiu Tong found to help? Are there no fit adult men available at the Lotus Escort Agency anymore? Isn't this cheating me?"
The several questions in succession colored Qiu Tong's face red with embarrassment.
