County Magistrate Fu nodded his head, indicating that he understood, but still said, "The county governmental office isn't well-funded. Currently, the meals provided for the laborers follow the old practices. It won't be easy to change the system."
Manbao furrowed her little eyebrows, feeling puzzled about why it would be difficult. Wasn't it just a matter of earning money? Besides, everyone didn't eat that much.
Just as Manbao was about to speak, the Assistant County Magistrate suddenly asked Bai Shanbao, "What is the young master's name?"
Manbao then closed her mouth temporarily, recalling her mother's teaching that one should wait for others to finish speaking before talking, and that interrupting was impolite.
Bai Shanbao puffed out his little chest and said, "My name is Bai Shan."
"Bai?" County Magistrate Fu asked with a smile, "Is Bai Li from Qili Village related to you?"
Bai Shanbao hesitated before replying, "He is my uncle."
"Eh, Bai Li has brothers?"
