Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
As Su Muyao was thinking, Wang Dani suddenly burst into tears.
This startled Su Muyao.
"What's wrong?"
After Su Muyao said this, Wang Dani finally stopped crying.
"I'm so sorry, little princess, I got too excited."
Hearing him say that, Su Muyao nodded and distributed pork and milk candy to the others.
Wang Dani held the pork belly and milk candy that had been given to her first, and fell into deep thought.
His life has been the most difficult, as he had to take care of his younger siblings at his maternal home.
Her father didn't care for her, and her mother didn't love her. It wasn't until after she got married that she found a decent husband.
However, because the in-laws have a large family and they haven't separated their households, they all eat together.
My husband is not very capable, and even my in-laws don't like him.
Although the family hadn't officially separated over a month ago, it was practically the same as having done so.
The family property is not divided, but the three brothers are required to contribute money to the family every month.
Paying only 40 coins was not enough to cover the food expenses, so the elderly couple naturally had to make up the difference themselves.
The main problem was that the eldest son's wife was making a big fuss, feeling that her husband was capable enough to work as a waiter in a restaurant.
He could bring home two taels of silver each month.
Therefore, the eldest son's wife believed that if the family were to split up in the future, the elderly couple should divide the money equally among the three households.
That way, I wouldn't be the one who suffers the most loss, so after thinking it over, I finally came up with this suggestion.
The old lady thought it was fair.
The main reason is that the parents are not separating the family, so the family definitely cannot be separated.
The only solution is for each of these people to pay for their food.
Those who are capable of making money should stay and take care of their own families.
Later, her husband worked as a porter at the dock, but there wasn't much work available after that.
The agreement stipulated that money should be paid every two weeks, but they couldn't come up with it at the time, which led to them being ridiculed by the other branches of the family.
Her husband had given all the money he had earned to his mother-in-law, and hadn't saved a single penny.
The husband was also very angry at the time, feeling that his parents were really biased and did not love their family.
Later, her husband even went to the village chief's house to borrow those few dozen coins and insisted on giving the money.
Fortunately, I met the little princess by chance, which led to this job.
Now I won't have to suffer anyone's disdain when I go back, and I'll have enough money to take care of my children.
I still remember what my parents said when I returned to my parents' home on the third day after my wedding. They called me their daughter.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; if she encounters any difficulties in the future, she should not return to her parents' home to seek help from her family.
At that time, Da Ni was heartbroken.
She worked diligently at her parents' home and took excellent care of her younger siblings.
Meanwhile, the younger siblings echoed their parents' sentiments.
The younger brother said that everything in the house would belong to him from now on, and that his married sister should not come back to freeload.
His younger sister said that he was his parents' most beloved little daughter, and his parents even said that they would find him a husband in the future.
The family was enjoying a happy time together, but I was the only outsider.
Wang Dani was still thinking about the past when someone next to her shook her.
"Little princess, did you hear me when I spoke to you just now?"
Wang Dani suddenly snapped out of her reverie: "Ah, what did the little princess just say? I was daydreaming!"
The person next to her nudged her arm and said, "The little princess kept praising you for your good work, and you didn't even hear her."
Wang Dani was stunned when she heard this.
Princess, the princess actually praised her for her good work! What was I thinking just now? I didn't even hear the most important thing.
Su Muyao then said, "Wang Dani, come and collect your bonus."
Wang Dani quickly stepped forward to Su Muyao, who then handed her a red envelope.
"You've done a very good job this past month."
The skewering will be your responsibility from now on.
We still don't have enough people. Could you help us see if there are any other people in the village and recruit two more?
You've been very responsible this month. Here's your bonus, take it!
After Su Muyao finished speaking, she went to look at her account book again.
Wang Dani took the red envelope and stepped back.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Wang Dani opened the red envelope and found that it contained a full five taels of silver notes.
This was the first time in her life she had ever seen a banknote.
Only after Su Muyao had distributed all the bonuses to everyone did she speak up, saying, "The red envelopes contain silver notes."
Although it wasn't much, it was still a bonus, which is why it was specially packaged in a red envelope.
The fact that other people's names weren't called doesn't mean you did a bad job; it's just that only six people receive the bonus each month.
This is mainly to get you guys into a positive mindset, hoping that you'll be the ones receiving bonuses next month!
Since this is the first month's paycheck, everyone should go home early tonight instead of working.
Everyone subconsciously glanced at the little princess upon hearing this. With such booming business every day, how could she suddenly decide to stop?
One of the managers came out and said, "The little princess's business is booming every day."
Wouldn't we suffer huge losses if we didn't open tonight? We don't need to rest at all!
Su Muyao looked at those people, each one of them looking at her with genuine desire to continue working there that night.
But Su Muyao smiled and said, "You can never earn enough money. The main thing is that when I first got my salary at another place, I basically rested for most of the day."
Since there's already a precedent, let's just follow the previous example.
Everyone, stop talking and pack your things so we can go home early.
The others nodded in agreement upon hearing the little princess's words.
Since the princess had already made her decision, they could not say anything more.
After sending the message, Su Muyao left in a hurry.
These people quickly strung up all the skewers they had that weren't already on.
After cleaning up, everyone left one by one.
After distributing the silver, Su Muyao remembered that she hadn't yet distributed it to the oxcart drivers.
Thinking of those oxcart drivers, they must still be outside the city.
After dropping people off each day, they would not go back, but would rest at a tea stall outside the city.
After all, if we go back and come back, the round trip will take quite a long time.
For a couple of coins, you can have a bowl of tea at a tea stall and sit there chatting for half a day.
When Su Muyao arrived, she saw all the people she had hired sitting together chatting.
When these people saw that it was the little princess, they quickly got up.
"Little princess, is there something you need from us?"
Now that they've gotten to know each other, they no longer need to perform the daily kneeling ritual.
Moreover, the little princess doesn't like this kind of thing, so they naturally wouldn't kneel down and offer a grand gesture in public.
