Chapter 125: Trouble with Wages

Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun looked at the purse in front of them in surprise.

"Xia'er, do you give me a purse when I pay my wages?"

"That's right, sister-in-law."

Zhang Juexia picked up the purse and placed it in their hands, "One for each of you."

Ye Suyun opened her purse and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't remember my salary being that much!"

Li Yiqin was still looking at her purse without opening it to see the money inside. After hearing what Ye Suyun said, she quickly opened it and took a look. "Xia'er, Suyun is right. I don't have that much salary!"

As she spoke, she was about to return the extra money to Zhang Juexia. Ye Suyun was about to do the same, but was stopped by Zhang Juexia, "Stop it, we are all family. You two have helped me a lot every day, so just consider it your bonus."

Li Yiqin and Ye Suyun looked at each other, and when they were hesitating whether to accept it, Ye Jishun said, "Since this money is given to you, you should take it. If Bei Xiu's wife needs any help in the future, you two can help her out.

However, Beixiu's wife, you have to listen to me. It is true that we are all family, but we cannot become estranged because of money.

From now on, the wages you agree on with them are what they are, and you are not allowed to pay more."

The three of them nodded at the same time.

Wang Guilan came running over and said, "We mountain people can only offer wild game. Baofeng and I have discussed that we will bring two wild rabbits and two pheasants, and then go to the town to buy the rest of the gifts.

We can’t be stingy with our money for such a good thing, we have to collect at least six gifts.”

Ye Jishun nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Yunsheng was so happy that he could only grin.

Seeing that everything that needed to be done had been done, Zhang Juexia called Ye Beixiu to prepare to go home.

Wang Guilan held her back again. "We have to leave early tomorrow morning. We'll be waiting for you at home. Your grandfather, your uncle, your aunt, and Suyun, will there be enough space in the carriage?"

"Yes."

"Grandma, I want to go too."

Li Yiqin's pitiful little eyes make it hard to refuse.

"Qin'er, it's not that I don't want you to go, but the road is so bumpy, can your body handle it? Let's go to town after you give birth, okay?"

Ye Suyun also persuaded, "Sister-in-law, I will go with you then."

Zhang Juexia stepped forward and touched Li Yiqin's slightly bulging belly. "Sister-in-law, when you give birth to the baby, I will take you out to play and let them take care of the child at home."

Although Li Yiqun really wanted to go to town, she had to agree for the sake of the baby in her belly.

After setting the time to go to the town tomorrow, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu supported each other and prepared to go home.

"Bei Xiu, Bei Xiu's wife, come here."

Although Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia were somewhat reluctant, they had to go, "Mom, you came to me."

"How come you've grown so powerful that you don't even recognize me as your own mother?"

Ye Beixiu smiled and said, "No, we are busy now!"

Pang Xiujuan glared at Ye Beixiu, and Zhang Juexia was also affected by it. "You are quite active in giving money to others."

"Mother, my sister-in-law and Suyun helped with the work. This is the wages they deserve. Why are you asking me to give them money? Do you know how to speak?"

"I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to my son. Why are you butting in?"

"Since you're talking to your son, I'll go ahead."

"Mom, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave too."

Pang Xiujuan was so angry that she wanted to hit Ye Beixiu, but Ye Beixiu dodged her.

"You also know that I am your mother. You are willing to accept your wife's words to me."

Zhang Juexia felt that it was a waste of time to continue arguing with Pang Xiujuan, so he walked out without looking back.

Ye Beixiu hurriedly followed.

Pang Xiujuan was left alone complaining to the air.

When Zhang Juexia saw Ye Beixiu following out, he smiled maliciously.

Ye Beixiu took her hand and walked forward, "Stop laughing."

"Bei Xiu's wife, would you like to come home and sit down?"

"No, auntie."

Someone walked further forward and greeted Zhang Juexia, inviting her to their home.

Ye Beixiu asked Zhang Juexia in confusion, "I'm such a grown-up, can't the aunts see me? Why did they only let you sit in their house?"

"Because I'm a little cutie who is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom wherever I see them."

Zhang Juexia jumped forward a few steps with a smile. For some reason, she wanted to laugh when she thought of Pang Xiujuan's frustrated look.

"I'm telling you, Li Yulan, once you marry into our Qin family, you're a member of the Qin family. What's yours, what's mine? All your people belong to our Qin family. Why are you still talking to me about yours and mine?

My grandson depends on you, but I won't spoil you."

Zhang Juexia listened carefully and thought the voice belonged to Mrs. Qin.

What is Mrs. Qin doing again?

"Qin Eryong's house is just ahead, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Walk."

The Qin family's door was ajar, and Ye Beixiu opened it with a light push.

Li Yulan saw that the person coming was Zhang Juexia, and she started crying in grievance, "Sister-in-law, please ask Brother Bei Xiu to shout in the village and find Eryong."

Mrs. Qin jumped up and said, "I'm telling you, even if you call the king of heaven here today, I still say the same thing: the money you earn must be handed over to the government.

Have you ever seen a young wife with money who doesn't always hand it over to her elders for safekeeping?

Li Yulan argued while crying, "When I went to work, Eryong agreed that I would keep the money I earned, and you didn't say anything.

How come I just paid you today, and you took advantage of Eryong not being at home to go back on your word and ask for my wages?"

Zhang Juexia finally understood, "Eryong's wife, I'm here today to collect my wages."

Li Yulan stopped crying, and Mrs. Qin stopped making a fuss. They all looked at her.

Li Yulan asked weakly, "Sister-in-law, why did you take back the wages you paid out?"

Mrs. Qin was unwilling to see the fat meat she had gained slip away again, and she asked nervously, "That's right, that's right. Isn't this the salary she deserves?"

Zhang Juexia glared at Mrs. Qin. "It's my money. I can give it to you if I want to, and I can not give it to you if I don't want to. What's it to you? Besides, now you know that this salary is what I deserve."

Mrs. Qin smiled awkwardly, "I'm just helping her save money because I'm worried she's too young to know how to save."

"You really have such good intentions. You've saved money for most of your life, and yet you're only living like this. What right do you have to control others? Besides, they worked so hard to earn their money, and you say you're saving it for them? Who would believe you?"

Qin Eryong ran into the house breathlessly. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Mrs. Qin, "Grandma, why are you making such a fuss again? You are living a good life, what are you trying to achieve?

Go out and ask around and see if any elderly person can earn 300 coins just by doing housework!
