Seeing that she couldn't remain, the caregiver approached Lu Jiaxin to ask for her wages.
Lu Jiaxin couldn't possibly skip out on paying her wages, as it would sound bad if it got out. However, she wouldn't pay out of her own pocket—the affairs of the Guh Residence were entrusted to Aunt Mei. Still, Jiaxin checked the accounts every month to see where the money was going.
Aunt Hong said with her head bowed, "Sister Mei caught a cold and was worried about infecting Old Lady Guh, so she went home. These past two days, it has been me taking care of Old Lady Guh with her."
"How much do we owe her?"
Aunt Hong was very familiar with the affairs of the Guh Residence. Without even thinking, she replied, "She just got paid three days ago, and her daily wage is one hundred and fifty, so four hundred and fifty should be enough."
