Jiang Xue and Gu Xiaoling were eating shepherd's purse dumplings, while Shao Heng and Shao Meng, who had eaten earlier, were already full and playing on the side.
When Jiang Xue saw Ji Chen return, she said, "There are still dumplings in the pot."
"Oh," Ji Chen said before turning back to the kitchen.
"Boss, to be honest, how come your cooking skills are so good? If I had your skills, I would definitely open a restaurant."
Jiang Xue was tired of hearing this kind of talk. "I'll teach you next time, and you can open a restaurant."
“Okay, when you have a stable income, I’ll start a side business.”
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Little money-grubber."
Seeing the two laughing so happily, Ji Chen, who originally wanted to say something, didn't want to interrupt.
"Did you run into Wang Jing again today?" Jiang Xue asked directly.
"Hmm, why don't you let her leave work a little earlier?" Ji Chen was a little confused. He had clearly told Jiang Xue to leave earlier, so why didn't she take it to heart?
“I let her leave work at 4:30. I really didn’t expect her to be so considerate of you.”
After finishing the dumplings in her bowl, Gu Xiaoling quickly took the bowl away, deliberately avoiding the two people discussing their business.
She played with Shaoheng and Shaomeng on the side.
"Then why are you still on the road so late at night?" Ji Chen realized Wang Jing's thoughts as soon as he finished speaking.
He instructed Jiang Xue, "Let's sign an agreement tomorrow. If anything happens to us, neither of us can afford the consequences."
Jiang Xue nodded.
Ji Chen's return time after work is not fixed, and he cannot guarantee that he will run into Wang Jing every day.
He thought he should talk to him clearly tomorrow to avoid any misunderstandings.
In order to manage her small plot of land properly, Jiang Xue wrote dozens of agreements by hand early in the morning. Although the laws were not as perfect as in later generations, she couldn't resist the unreasonableness of these people.
When Jiang Xue saw Wang Jing coming over, she handed her the agreement. "Take a look. If you agree, sign it. If you don't agree, it's okay. I'll still pay you today's wages."
The other aunts and maternal aunts glanced at her casually and teased Jiang Xue, "Do you think we old women would run into someone with ill intentions on our way home?"
"Haha...you're handsome."
"You're so talented! Look at you, you're already forty-five, but you're still so youthful."
"..."
Jiang Xue listened to the older women joking with each other and wanted to laugh too. The agreement was nothing special; it simply meant that if they were going home late at night, they should either go with someone or have someone pick them up to prevent anyone from taking advantage of them. If no one was there to go with them or pick them up, they were not allowed to work overtime and had to go home to rest earlier.
Jiang Xue was thinking of everyone's best interests. Although this era is very safe, there are still bad people everywhere.
When Wang Jing saw the agreement, her face turned green. She held back from shouting. She had heard about Jiang Xue's methods, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger and sign it. But signing was one thing, whether she was willing to do it or not was another.
Facing the agreement that was clearly aimed at her, Wang Jing glared at Jiang Xue with resentment and threw the signed agreement at Jiang Xue.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang said, "What are you doing? How can you treat your boss like that? You're a young girl, aren't you doing this for your own good?"
"For my own good?" Wang Jing sneered, too lazy to pay any attention to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was quite angry with her niece. "You mustn't do that again next time. We'll let it go this time because you're young and don't understand social etiquette."
Jiang Xue gave Wang Jing a cold look before heading into the city with Shao Heng and Shao Meng. If she remembered correctly, Sun Ze'an should have gone back to the shop to find her at noon today.
