Chapter 514 A Friendly Reminder

When the shop is not busy, the guys get together and talk about interesting things at home.

"After I took home my wages and the hundred coins our shop gave me, my mother and my grandmother couldn't stop smiling.

They told me to work hard and they would find me a wife soon!"

"Me too. My mom said if I don't do my job well, she'll break my legs."

Everyone laughed. After hearing this, Li Le put down his work and walked up to them to give them a lecture.

In the past, these guys would have been a little impatient, but today, they all listened carefully and said to Li Le, "Boss, just relax.

Even if you don't say this, we will still do our best.

I had inquired about it a long time ago. Yesterday, our shop was the only one in the entire Shunhe County that was closed, and we were given a hundred coins to celebrate the festival.

Other shops only let their employees go home after they closed their doors.”

After hearing what they said, Li Le felt relieved and admired Zhang Juexia even more.

He can buy people's hearts with just one hundred coins. He is truly a master.

He coughed dryly and cleared his throat, "Let me tell you one more thing, the boss said that he will give out money during the Chinese New Year.

In the future, the boss will open a shop elsewhere. As the first batch of clerks in our shop, you will have the opportunity to become the manager in the future.

So, I don’t need to say anything below, you should know what to do now! "

The young men all smiled and said, "Boss, are you telling the truth?"

Li Le frowned and scolded the young man who asked the question, "What are you talking about? When have I ever lied to you?

However, I must say in advance that being illiterate, unable to do accounting, and only good at talking will not make you a shopkeeper."

The young men instantly became excited, "Boss, we must learn well!

After that, they dispersed. Taking advantage of this free time, those who could read started to learn the characters, and those who couldn't use an abacus started to practice using it.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Le nodded with satisfaction, "Do this when you have free time in the future. However, the premise is that you must finish the work at hand and not delay the business of the shop."

The young man didn't even have time to reply, he just nodded to show that he understood.

Zhang Erzhuang had never been good at using the abacus, so he just took some time to practice a few times and then gave it away.

Seeing that Li Le was in a very good mood, he came forward and said, "Boss, I'm going to the backyard."

Li Le asked him, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Erzhuang thought for a moment and said, "Boss, these are all family matters. My parents found out that my sister is pregnant and they want to come and see her.

They asked me to give my sister a message.”

Li Le waved his hand, "Then go!"

Zhang Erzhuang ran out a few steps and was stopped by Li Le again, "Come back as soon as you get the message."

"Boss, don't worry, I won't say a word in front of my sister.

Besides, you always treat us fairly, so I have no complaints."

"You little bastard, you haven't gained weight yet, but you're already out of breath.

Hurry up, go and come back quickly, if you delay the business of the shop, I will punish you."

Zhang Erzhuang couldn't help but quicken his pace. Although he and Li Le quarreled with each other on weekdays, Li Le showed no mercy when something really went wrong.

Last time, just because of a trivial matter, Li Le punished him by making him copy the store rules ten times.

After a busy day, when everyone was asleep, he still had to stay up late to copy the store rules. It was really unpleasant.

Zhang Juexia was discussing with Ye Beixiu what to bring to Qingfeng City when Zhang Erzhuang rushed in.

Ye Beixiu wanted to get angry, but when he saw that the person who came was Zhang Erzhuang, he had to hold back his anger.

Zhang Erzhuang also felt that he was a bit rash, "Brother-in-law, I didn't see anyone at the door, so I came in. I..."

Zhang Juexia interrupted him, "Erzhuang, don't take it to heart. You came to see me, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Erzhuang then repeated what his parents had said about coming to see Zhang Juexia, "Sister, I let it slip while we were having dinner, you won't blame me, will you?

My mother insisted on coming and I couldn't stop her. She said that since I didn't have any elders around me, she had to explain some things to me.

After all, this is your and your brother-in-law’s first child.”

Hearing this, Zhang Juexia was actually touched, "Er Zhuang, sister won't blame you. Uncle and aunt are coming to see me, I'm so happy!

They said when they would come?"

"Tomorrow, they know that my brother-in-law is going to Qingfeng City, so they want to come up to see you quickly so as not to delay my brother-in-law's business."

Zhang Erzhuang saw that the message had been delivered, and quickly said, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going to be busy."

When Zhang Erzhuang disappeared, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu discussed, "Tomorrow, when my uncle and aunt arrive, we'll go to Zuixianlou and order a banquet. We'll also have Manager Chen prepare two jars of wine and have him take them with him when he leaves."

"I'll do it for you, my lady. I'll take care of it in a moment."

"Um."

Zhang Erzhuang came back sweating profusely, "Sister, I forgot to tell you that I ran into Uncle Defu on my way home.

He pulled me aside and asked me a lot of questions, but I didn't say anything to him.

Zhang Juexia signaled Ye Beixiu to get a towel for Zhang Erzhuang and asked him to wipe the sweat off his face before continuing.

"What did he ask you?"

Zhang Erzhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned the handkerchief to Ye Beixiu before saying, "Uncle Defu, is it true that Cuiliu Manor gave me ten taels of silver as a resettlement allowance?

He also asked me how much I could earn as a clerk in a shop.

He also asked if the business in the shop was good.

How much money do you earn every month?"

"So how did you answer?"

Zhang Erzhuang scratched his forehead and said, "Sister, I told you I'm just a young man, still in the apprenticeship period, and I don't know anything."

"If you say that, how could he let you go?"

"I spoke in a very pitiful way and said I had no wages. Uncle Defu saw that he couldn't get anything out of me, so he let me go.

However, Uncle Defu muttered that he knew where your shop was and would come to the county town to find you.

Zhang Erzhuang reminded Zhang Juexia again, "Sister, you better be careful these days!"

Zhang Juexia said she understood. She suddenly remembered what happened to Tian Caihong that day. Qin Eryong hadn't given her any news yet, so she asked Zhang Erzhuang, "Did you see Tian Caihong when you went home?"

Zhang Erzhuang couldn't remember who Tian Caihong was. "Sister, who is Tian Caihong?"

"Zhang Qiuye's mother."

"Oh, her!" Zhang Erzhuang thought for a moment, "I've never seen her before. If Uncle Defu hadn't rushed to talk to me, I would have avoided him."

"What's there to avoid? You don't steal or rob. Erzhuang, thank you for your reminder. Go and get busy!"
