The Village Chief glanced at Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao before speaking without any reservations.
"Here's the thing, the clinic in town is looking for someone to gather herbs in the back mountain of our village. Since our village is close and familiar with the mountain, they came to me. I thought about your family's struggles and came to ask you. The town's clinic says they'll pay fifteen copper coins a day."
The Village Chief spoke openly in front of Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao because he had heard they were acquainted with the Magistrate.
He came to help the An family, letting them know could be seen as extending goodwill.
"Fifteen copper coins?" An Quan exclaimed in surprise.
