To put it bluntly, the money the restaurant earned now was too much for the people in the mountains. Everyone always wanted to take advantage of them. Although they had been rejected by Ye Lulu a few times, as long as there was a chance, they would pounce on her like a swarm of bees.

After Ye Lulu thought through this… she strangely calmed down.

She seemed to know what these villagers were thinking.

It was not exactly shameless. Ye Lulu was still very sympathetic towards the poor people in ancient times, but anyone would be angry at these people’s words.

“But you’re from Yunwu Village. The monthly salary is twenty taels of silver. Are you going to give it to someone else?”

An auntie could not argue, but she could not help but say to Ye Lulu unhappily.

“That’s right. There are so many poor people in our village, but you don’t plan to help any of them and instead give twenty taels of silver to others every month?”

“Guan Chibei’s wife is really amazing. Now that she’s rich and has opened a big restaurant, she can offer a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver!”

“The entire Guan family has soared. They’re rich now and are different from us villagers.”

“As expected, since she’s not from our village, she’s heartless and doesn’t have any feelings for us.”

“No way. Ye Lulu, I’m not criticizing you, but your restaurant is so big now, but you don’t want to help the villagers at all. Is that suitable?”

“That’s right. She’s really greedy. Her personality is really cold…”

Ye Lulu crossed her arms and laughed out loud. Under the criticism of the villagers, she wasn’t angry but instead smiled and said, “I only care about money and am greedy? Oh, then I want to ask. Aren’t all of you blocking my path now for money?”

“This…”

The people in front of her choked.

Ye Lulu added, “Besides, it’s really funny to say that our Guan family is heartless. I’m the one who has the recipes for our restaurant. Our entire family woke up early and worked day and night to open the restaurant. The money we earn is also based on our own abilities. Did the village help us or did anyone here help us?!”

“So why should we help the villagers? Just because otherwise, we would be known as heartless?”

As soon as Ye Lulu said these logical words, everyone fell silent. No one needed to take the moral high ground and threaten her!

The villagers said stubbornly, “It’s not that we’re the ones helping you with your business, but you’re rich now, so it’s only right for you to help the villagers, right? Don’t you have ties with the villagers? Moreover, we’re not asking you to give us money for free. We just want you to invite the villagers to your restaurant to help. You have to hire people no matter what, anyway. Why don’t you help the villagers?”

This was a moral abduction.

However, since ancient times, we had been in a society of human emotions. It was not wrong to ask for some favors. Ye Lulu smiled and said, “I didn’t say that I wouldn’t help the villagers, but everyone has to be able to do the work I stated before I can hire them. Aren’t there children from difficult families in the village who can’t afford to eat in my shop?”

“But I’m hiring chefs this time. Can everyone do the work of a chef? If they can’t do it at all, wouldn’t I be giving money to others for nothing?”

“Tell me, what is this logic? If you can’t do it, I still have to give you money for free. Which villager wants to do this? Come out and say it now. I want to ask the other party. If the other villagers are poorer than you, would you give away your money to them?”
