Liang Hui bought two rough servant women, one to work in Lin Youning's courtyard, the other to help in the kitchen.
Lin Youning refused, "Sister-in-law, you know I already have Nanny Guo and two maids in my courtyard. I don't lack for helpers. Let these two women help you instead."
"I don't have much to manage here, one can stay in the kitchen and the other can be in your courtyard to help." Liang Hui wouldn't have bought these two servant women if it weren't for Sister Ning.
Lin Youning smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, now that Brother is a Third-Rank Assistant General, this house only has two rough servant women. I know these things may not seem important to you, but you need to think about Sister Ling's future, about what kind of family she'll marry into. Her natal family is her support; we cannot afford to be shunned by the noble families in the Capital. How could a family of officials have no servants?"
