Aunt Hong refused, Little Song Le looked confused, lying on her knee, raised his head and asked, "Why isn't Aunt going? Aunt's shop is very good, lots of people are eager to go."
Aunt Hong smiled and patted his head, yes, lots of people are eager to go, but she knew Lady Lu was taking care of her.
"Of course Aunt wants to go, but Aunt's cooking skills aren't good, I've grown used to being stingy with oil and salt for decades, the dishes I make aren't tasty. By then, if the shopkeeper and staff don't like it because I'm your Aunt, they'd feel embarrassed to say so, wouldn't that cause trouble for your Aunt? Moreover, Aunt has a lot to do at home, really can't spare the time."
Besides, if she goes to work at the shop, her sons and daughters might let the kids go there to mooch food. They wouldn't think this would bother Aunt Hong; they would just see it as Cousin Aunt Gouwa's shop, family, even if something happens, the shopkeeper and staff wouldn't dare say anything to them.
