After the last table of guests left in the evening, Li Mingxia sent Li Mingyu to the kitchen to pick out edible vegetables and meat.

"Sister Mingyu, what do you need? Let me help you pick it out. I don't have anything to do right now anyway." Honghong saw Li Mingyu hiding on the ground picking things and hurriedly said.

Because Li Mingyu did not say that this thing was to be sent to Li Mingxia's house, Grandma Sun and the others thought that Li Mingyu was going to take it home to eat himself, so no one helped, only Honghong ignored it.

Li Mingyu is a person who is most afraid of bothering others. She never bullies others just because she is Li Mingxia's sister. She does all the work that is hers. She is also worried that people will accuse her of taking advantage of Li Mingxia and not working, so she never picks and chooses when doing the work. She will never complain when doing the hard work that others are unwilling to do.

"No need, Honghong, you've been busy all day, go and take a rest. I'm just picking some dishes, it's not much work and it's not tiring." Li Mingyu said quickly.

Honghong insisted on helping, and was particularly careful to wash and pack the vegetables and meat that Li Mingyu had picked out.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about anything when you go back. You can just cook directly. This will save time, right?" Honghong said with a smile.

Although she doesn't like to trouble others, Honghong is quick and efficient and does things very thoughtfully, which makes Li Mingyu feel warm inside.

“Honghong, you…”

"Mingyu, have you chosen?" Li Mingxia waited for a while and saw that Li Mingyu did not come to the lobby to find him. He was worried that she was too busy, so he went to the kitchen to take a look.

"Sister Mingxia, it's almost here!"

"Miss!"

"Miss, why are you here?"

Li Mingxia only came to the kitchen to help out in the first three days when new dishes were served. This was because she was afraid that the food they made would not be good enough for the hot pot, and she was also worried that they might not understand something. Now, the new dishes of this half month have been served for nine days, and the people in the kitchen are all familiar with the dishes. Naturally, Li Mingxia would not come to the kitchen unless there was something to do.

After all, it was stuffy in there, and Li Mingxia would not make things difficult for himself when he didn't need to go there.

As soon as Mrs. Sun and the others saw Li Mingxia coming, they all stood up quickly.

Li Mingxia nodded slightly with a warm smile on his face.

"Nothing, I just wanted to go home and make a hotpot tonight, so I asked Mingyu to come to the kitchen to help me pick some ingredients. When she didn't come back to the lobby to look for me for so long, I thought my sister had gone out to be lazy." Li Mingxia's gaze gently drifted over Grandma Sun and the others, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Li Mingyu naturally would not be lazy. She was a very hardworking person. How could she not work hard after hearing what Li Mingxia said?

These people also knew that Li Mingxia must be unhappy because they were talking and not helping Li Mingyu, so she was supporting her sister.

But they also felt wronged. Who knew that Li Mingyu came to pick out ingredients for Li Mingxia? They thought Li Mingyu wanted to pick out a few good ones to take back for himself.

"Miss, Mingyu is the most diligent. She usually does more work. We work together with Mingyu, but we are actually taking advantage of her."

"Yes, miss, please stop saying that. I'm afraid that even if we put all of us together, we still can't be as skillful as Mingyu."

Everyone was praising Li Mingyu one after another, and it was completely different from the time just now when they were eating melon seeds and chatting and pretending not to see Li Mingyu.

"It's okay, just do your part. Mingyu is doing this for me, so you should take a break." Li Mingyu looked at them and wondered if there was anything she didn't understand. She waved her hand and said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Mingxia was not angry, they were relieved. They thought more about it. It was the same. Li Mingxia told Li Mingyu to do something, so Li Mingyu should do it himself. They didn't get any instructions from Li Mingxia, so why should they help Li Mingyu? There was no benefit.

Thinking of this, a little more fear appeared on the faces of these people. They no longer had the panic they had just had, but instead took it for granted.

Li Mingxia saw it, but pretended not to see it.

"You are the little girl that Shen Xing bought. Your name is Honghong, right?" Li Mingxia looked at the little girl who was standing timidly behind Li Mingyu, smiled and said in a gentle voice.

Hong Hong looked at her master, trying desperately to calm herself down, and nodded gently, "Yes, Miss, I was bought by Manager Shen."

Seeing that the little girl was obviously frightened by him, Li Mingxia couldn't help but smile.

Honghong blinked. The master looked so good when he smiled. A master like him would definitely not beat or scold anyone for just any reason.

"Don't worry, you did a good job. Although this is the friendship between you two sisters, after all, you took up your rest time to do things for me. It would have been fine if you didn't see it, but now that you have seen it, I have to reward you." Li Mingxia touched the little red head. Looking at this girl who was younger than Li Mingyu, he suddenly knew why Shen Xing chose her.

He is indeed an honest man, but there is life in his eyes.

Although he didn't know how Shen Xing saw it at the beginning, Li Mingxia now felt that Shen Xing was really good at doing things. If there was anything else in the future, he could rest assured to leave it to him.

"This is what I should do. How can I...how can I..."

How can I ask for a reward?

Looking at the faces of the other people, Honghong started to speak incoherently.

She is just a bought servant. Isn't it her duty to work?

Li Mingxia liked the way she looked. Having lived for so many years in her two lifetimes combined, she could tell whether a little girl said this sincerely or not.

It's rare to find someone who is not greedy for money and has a good heart. Such a person will never go wrong whether here or anywhere else.

Li Mingxia took out a purse from his arms, took out a small piece of silver and threw it to Honghong.

Although it was not the largest piece in the purse, it was not small either, amounting to about five or six taels of silver.

Honghong was shocked when she saw the silver. Why did they give her so much? How much was her monthly salary?

Mrs. Sun and the others looked at the silver in Honghong's hand with very complicated expressions.

Even though Grandma Sun was happy for Honghong, she still felt a little jealous in her heart.

Such a big piece of silver! If they had helped just now, would they have received such a reward?

Regret!

But it's too late to say anything now.

"I treat this sister of mine no differently than my own sisters at home. Thank you for helping her."
