"I've already eaten. I came to talk to you about something," Jiang Xue greeted Aunt Wang frankly.
Ji Chen, who was standing to the side, originally thought it would be awkward and that he would try to put in a good word for her. However, he did not expect that it would have no effect at all. He was even more surprised that Jiang Xue was so poised and generous in handling things.
After hearing Jiang Xue's words, Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me what it is, and I'll help you if I can."
"Do you know how to use a sewing machine?" Jiang Xue calmly sat down on the low stool that Aunt Wang handed her.
"I can stomp on things, but at most I can only make them look messy and patch them up. I don't have your skills to sew clothes."
"Just make them haphazardly, I'll teach you how to make curtains for me, I'll give you five yuan a day, and then find me ten more people who know how to operate sewing machines and who also have sewing machines at home."
Jiang Xue knew that this old-fashioned sewing machine would be obsolete soon, and with insufficient funds, she decided not to buy any more machines for the time being, and instead make money through whatever means she could.
"Five yuan?" Aunt Wang's eyes nearly popped out of her head in surprise.
She quickly took out the pancakes from under the table, and shoved a few eggs into them. "Eat some more. Your aunt's cooking is excellent. You used to love our pancakes."
Jiang Xue touched her forehead embarrassedly, feeling both amused and exasperated by Aunt Wang's antics. "I know you've always been a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. I'll leave this to you. We'll meet at Ji Chen's house at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay." When Aunt Wang saw Jiang Xue get up to leave, she quickly got up to see her off.
"Don't be so polite. I ate so many of your pancakes before, I still remember your kindness." Jiang Xue smiled and tried to get closer to Aunt Wang. She added, "The wages will be settled on the same day, don't forget to tell everyone."
Aunt Wang's already smiling face beamed even brighter after hearing about the daily pay, "I'll go and recruit people for you right now."
She didn't even have time to eat, and hurriedly took off her apron.
"It's okay, you finish your meal. We'll start work again tomorrow morning anyway, there's no rush."
Aunt Wang could hardly believe her ears. When did Jiang Xue become so considerate? "Auntie heard that you opened a shop in the city. At first, we didn't believe it, but it's true."
Jiang Xue could guess what those gossips were going on even with her eyes closed, but her goal was to make money, so there was no need for her to bother with them.
Jiang Xue was exhausted when she got home. "I don't want to run around today. Can I rent a place again tomorrow? I'll sleep here for another night."
Ji Chen's already dark face suddenly became even more gloomy. "Isn't it supposed to take you half a month to finish here? There's absolutely no need for you to go and rent a place now."
He thought for a moment, "How about this, you cook every day, and I'll waive your rent." He had a nagging feeling that he didn't want Jiang Xue to actually move out.
If Jiang Xue really moves away like this, he will feel really empty inside, and he really likes the dishes Jiang Xue cooks.
Seeing that Ji Chen seemed to be fooling her, Jiang Xue quickly dismissed it and said, "How about I go stay at Aunt Wang's house for half a month and give her a few dozen yuan? She'll be overjoyed."
"How about I cook, and you can stay here?" Ji Chen said, his face suddenly turning red. He went into the kitchen, feeling embarrassed.
Jiang Xue stood frozen in place for several seconds. Could it be that Ji Chen had feelings for her?
She wanted to laugh but didn't dare, rubbing her head. "What am I thinking about all day, men and women?"
She quickly regained her focus. In any case, Ji Chen had already explained his relationship with Xie Xiaotian and what Xie Xiaotian had done with Ji Dong to Liu Aiyue, so things should calm down for the time being.
She also received a month's salary from Ji Chen for taking care of the child, so it seems like she has no need to move out now; in fact, that would feel even more awkward.
Forget it, making money is the priority. We don't need to worry about such trivial matters.
