Zhao Xiaoqin's mouth turned downward, her hands were placed on the table with her index fingers crossed.

"Now that reform has taken place, things are different from before. Setting up a stall to do some business is no longer considered capitalism."

"And now our Beijing government is also encouraging unemployed young people and unemployed workers at home to solve their own employment problems and start some businesses."

Their street office has also been working with the unemployed educated youth who have returned to the city recently, encouraging them to learn some skills and open a shop or set up a stall to do some business.

But they are too embarrassed to do it and are just waiting for their street office to solve their work problems.

She knew that Li Shuping had set up a dumpling stall, and her husband even packed dumplings for her twice. They tasted very good and were the best dumplings she had ever eaten.

She supports this matter and hopes that her dumpling stall can play a leading role in their Anning Street and encourage unemployed young people to join the ranks of opening shops and stalls to do business.

Liu Mingxiang: "Then, then I will report her for hiring poor children to go to the countryside to pick vegetables for her and exploiting poor children."

Zhao Yuqin frowned. If that was the case, she might have to go and verify it.

Although it is now allowed to set up stalls and open shops to do business, there is still some controversy as to whether workers can be hired as there is no clear policy yet.

In the past, all private employment relationships were considered remnants of exploitation. Before clear policies were introduced, they naturally followed the original regulations.

"Is it true?"

Liu Mingxiang laughed when she saw it was successful, "It's true, the one she hired was Qin Ye from our hospital."

Zhao Yuqin stood up and said, "Then come with me to find Li Shuping to verify it."

"I want to go too." Liu Mingxiang took a half step back.

Zhao Yuqin: "You are the whistleblower, so you must go together to confront Li Shuping face to face."

Liu Mingxiang didn't really want to go. If she went, wouldn't everyone know that she had reported Li Shuping?

Even though she felt that she had done nothing wrong in reporting Li Shuping, Liu Mingxiang knew in her heart that it was not a very honorable thing for a reporter to do so.

"Is it not possible not to go?"

"Do you still want to report it?"

Liu Mingxiang hesitated for a moment, but then she nodded and agreed, thinking that as long as she reported the case and prevented Li Shuping from setting up a stall, she could drive her out of Yard 23 and let her sister and her family move in.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon and there were no customers at the stall. Li Shuping was making dumplings while chatting with Zhou Cuilan.

Zhou Cuilan was the first to see Zhao Xiaoqin and her group. "Director Zhao, Xiaohuang, where are you going? Come and have some tea eggs, free of charge."

In addition to Hu Mingxiang, Zhao Xiaoqin also brought a male comrade from the street office, whose surname was Huang and everyone called him Xiao Huang.

Zhao Xiaoqin refused and walked straight to Li Shuping's stall.

"Oh, Director Zhao." Li Shuping quickly put down the dumplings and stood up. Seeing Hu Mingxiang behind Director Zhao, she was slightly startled.

I knew in my heart that this person had bad intentions.

"How's business today?" Zhao Xiaoqin asked gently.

"Very good." Li Shuping said with a smile, "We sold more than 30 bowls of dumplings at noon."

Zhao Yuqin nodded, that's not bad.

"We came here today because we have something to verify with you."

Li Shuping: "Director Zhao, you say."

"Comrade Hu Mingxiang reported that you hired Qin Ye to pick vegetables for you in the village and exploited him. Is this true?"

When Zhou Cuilan heard this, she glared at Hu Mingxiang fiercely, and looked at Li Shuping with a worried look.

Li Shuping glanced at Hu Mingxiang with contempt, and the latter raised his head and looked at her with confidence.

"No." Li Shuping shook her head.

Seeing her deny it, Hu Mingxiang immediately shouted, "You still dare to deny it? Everyone in our No. 23 courtyard has seen it. Qin Ye carries a large basket every day to collect vegetables from the countryside and delivers them to your home."

"It's true that he helped me pick vegetables in the countryside, but I didn't employ him. I just paid him to help me pick vegetables in the countryside and gave him 80 cents per trip as a thank you fee. There was no employment relationship between us."

Eight cents?

Hu Mingxiang's eyes widened. She only earned one cent for each matchbox she made at home. Because the work was flexible and there were many people working for her, she couldn't take on many matchboxes at a time and couldn't earn more than 20 cents a day.

Qin Ye went to the countryside to help Li Shuping pick vegetables, and he could earn 80 cents a day!

Hu Mingxiang was jealous. She never dreamed that she would be jealous of Qin Yegou in this life.

Xiao Huang: "Eighty cents a trip, it's still just one day of work, how can this be considered exploitation? My salary is less than eighty cents a day."

Their work in the street office looks respectable, but in fact the salary is very low, and they deal with trivial matters. When something happens, they have to deal with it even if they are off duty, which is very tiring and hard.

His monthly salary is only 20 yuan. If Qin Ye is considered exploited, then what is his?

Zhao Xiaoqin knew Qin Ye very well. This child was pitiful. His mother ran away when he was young, and his father was a drunkard. He had to start supporting the family at an early age.

He could help Li Shuping pick vegetables in the countryside and earn 80 cents for each trip, which was a particularly good thing.

"Hu Mingxiang, according to what Comrade Li Shuping said, she just asked Qin Ye to help her pick vegetables and gave him 80 cents as a thank you fee. This is indeed not considered employment, let alone exploitation."

Hu Mingxiang: "We can't just listen to her. She's afraid of being accused of hiring someone to exploit her, so she'll definitely say she's not hiring someone."

"So you also know it's a label." Li Shuping sneered.

Hu Mingxiang looked up and glared at her. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. She was delighted and pointed at the figure and said, "Qin Ye is back. Just ask him and you'll know what's going on."

"Don't say anything yet." Hu Mingxiang pointed at Li Shuping, afraid that she would hint at Qin Ye.

Li Shuping shut her mouth and refused to speak.

When Qin Ye approached, Hu Mingxiang quickly asked: "Qin Ye, did Li Shuping hire you to go to the village to pick vegetables?"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Director Zhao was also there, Qin Ye realized that something must have gone wrong, so he did not answer Hu Mingxiang's question, but looked at Li Shuping and asked.

Li Shuping shook her head, indicating that it was nothing.

Hu Mingxiang: "Don't worry about what happened, just tell me first, okay?"

Qin Ye frowned, "Of course not, Aunt Li just asked me to help her pick vegetables in the countryside."

"She gave you money, didn't she?"

"Nonsense, if you don't pay me, are you helping others for nothing?" Qin Ye rolled his eyes at Hu Mingxiang.

"I help Aunt Li run a trip, and she gives me 80 cents. I help Aunt Li's neighbors, not hire workers for her. It's the same as when I help people move large pieces of furniture to their homes at the junkyard, and I get paid after the move."

Hu Mingxiang: "This is just like hiring someone to do a job. That's what hiring is."

What is the difference between paying wages once a year and paying wages once a month?

"This is different." Zhao Yuqin said seriously, "One is hiring, and the other is asking a neighbor in the yard for help. Hiring someone to do something is paid on a monthly basis, while asking someone to help you is paid as a thank-you fee per trip. How can they be the same?"

"Besides, it's not easy for Qin Ye to have a child. The family relies on him to raise the child, so he can only work hard to help people move things and unload goods to earn some money."

"Comrade Li Shuping can ask him for help so that he can earn some money to support him and his father. This is to help him solve his life difficulties. This is a good thing."

"So..." Qin Ye's eyes locked onto Hu Mingxiang like a wolf, "You reported Aunt Li for hiring me to work for her?"

Hu Mingxiang took a half step back. Qin Yegou's wolf-cub-like look was really scary.

"You can't stand seeing me doing well, right? You get jealous when you see Aunt Li ask me for help, and you want to ruin my good job!"

"I'm telling you, if Aunt Li can't set up this stall anymore and doesn't ask me to help her collect the vegetables, then you just wait for me, I will never let your family have an easy time." Qin Ye said viciously.

Zhao Yuqin frowned and looked at Qin Ye, "You threatened someone in front of me?"

Qin Ye turned his head away unconvinced, "She is the one who doesn't want me to have an easy life."

Every time he went to the village to collect some vegetables and eggs for Aunt Li, he could earn 80 cents, which was much easier than helping people unload goods or carrying furniture in the junk yard, and he could earn more.

Aunt Li was his benefactor, and if the dumpling stall could not be set up due to Liu Mingxiang's report, he would never let Liu Mingxiang go.

Zhao Yuqin sighed helplessly, "Her report is not valid and will not affect Comrade Li Shuping's stall. I believe that Comrade Li Shuping will not refuse your help for this reason."

Li Shuping: "I won't be scared by some ignorant and false reports of conjunctivitis, Xiaoye, I will continue to ask you to help me harvest vegetables in the future."

"I will also continue to set up a stall to earn money and piss off those pink-eye patients."

Some people are just disgusting. They don't work hard and can't put themselves aside to set up stalls to make money. When they see others making money, they will make moves to report them. People like this will never be able to eat four dishes in their lifetime.

“…”

Liu Mingxiang, who was suffering from red eye disease, not only had red eyes, but also had a red face due to anger.
