"Stop talking so much, just take out the money, everyone has to contribute together."
Sheng Yueqing was still muttering to herself, delaying her departure to collect the money.
Only after the taro in my hand was peeled did I take it inside.
Finally, he swept the floor clean, dawdled for a while, and then took out a few loose coins from his pocket.
As he took it, he asked, "How much did it cost this time?"
Yesterday, the hotel cost five yuan, which was split equally among everyone, amounting to a little over 80 cents.
I ate more than three dollars for breakfast and lunch today.
Sheng Yueqing frowned, "Why are you eating so much? Did you eat meat?"
"Oh my, what kind of life do you have? You're so precious. I only earned five yuan yesterday, and you're eating five yuan worth of food today."
He reluctantly handed over the money while talking.
The daughters-in-law of the He family were truly impressed.
They considered themselves to be quite stingy.
I never expected that Sheng Yueqing, who looks so refined and educated, could be so stingy.
In the end, they were so angry about receiving the money that they almost didn't want it anymore.
She takes such a small amount, just one or two yuan, so reluctantly. How can I borrow money from her in the future?
They realized that they couldn't get any benefits from Sheng Yueqing at all.
"Alright, let's go move the goods. The dockworkers are still looking for us."
Because they moved frequently and were paid less than the locals, the foreman let them continue moving at night.
Sheng Yueqing pretended to stop her, "Sit in the shop for a while, eat here tonight, don't go out to eat."
"I'll stew taro for you guys tonight."
Upon hearing this, the daughters-in-law of the He family immediately ran away.
Moving goods is better than eating taro here.
Grandma He didn't want to move, but the five yuan was too tempting, so she went anyway.
Otherwise, she would have liked to come to the store to see if He Yushen had returned.
Sheng Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them go to work.
As long as I have something to do, I won't bother her.
She continued making cookies.
Once it's done, pack it up.
When evening came, Grandma He and her group did not come; they went to a restaurant for dinner.
After eating, we went to stay at a hotel.
They did the math and said, "Although we have to pay for food and lodging, it's still quite cost-effective when split among ourselves."
I earned twelve yuan in just two days.
If I were a little more diligent, I might be able to earn three or five hundred.
Although they are calculating and stingy, they are still very hardworking when it comes to making money.
Old Mrs. He was also thinking, "Money is so easy to make here, why don't we send Ah Da and the others over?"
The whole family works here moving goods, and they can earn quite a bit of money each month.
But on the third day, a problem arose.
The foreman tried to call them over, but they were ostracized by some of the older workers.
The group of men were tall and strong. They dragged them into an alley and warned them that if they tried to steal work again, they would beat them to death.
Old Mrs. He and her family had never experienced anything like this before, and they were too scared to go.
"What are we going to do? How could such a good job be gone?"
Having no other choice, they went to Sheng Yueqing to ask where there were still jobs available.
Sheng Yueqing gave them directions.
"There's an industrial zone across the river. Every factory there should be hiring, but the requirements for applying are probably very high. You can only try your luck."
"Whether I'll be hired or not is uncertain, but if I am, the salary and benefits should be quite good."
Old Mrs. He asked, "How much is it per month?"
"It will definitely be in the eighty-something range, and if the job is done well, there might be extra pay."
"However, the prerequisite is that you can get the job; the competition is quite fierce."
"If all else fails, you can do odd jobs or part-time work."
Grandma He and her daughters-in-law looked at each other, all wanting to give it a try.
So they tidied themselves up and went to the factory to apply for jobs.
The neighbor's boss, seeing that they had all left, came over curiously and asked, "Did your mother-in-law and sister-in-law go back?"
Sheng Yueqing shook her head, "No, they went to find jobs. Otherwise, with so many people, who can afford to support them?"
Some gossipy shopkeepers said sourly, "You must be making a lot of money, how come you can't afford to support them?"
Sheng Yueqing smiled back at her, "No matter how much I earn, I have no reason to support them, right? You earn so much, but I don't see you supporting your mother-in-law and sisters-in-law."
Taking other people's money to be a good person, what a piece of trash.
"you."
The other party, having failed to gain the upper hand verbally, left in anger.
Go back and tell them that Sheng Yueqing is stingy.
Sheng Yueqing didn't care; being stingy was fine.
Compared to money, fame is something anyone can afford to be a sucker for; she's not going to do it.
Without the interference of the He family, her life became much more pleasant.
I continue making pancakes during the day, and then deliver them.
I visit the new factory whenever I have time.
Qi Xinxin came over that evening and asked her about the past two days.
"I've been busy these past few days and haven't had time to come. How about you?"
Sheng Yueqing told Qi Xinxin about how Old Mother He had brought her daughters-in-law to see her, which startled Qi Xinxin. "They didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"
Sheng Yueqing waved her hand, "No, I complained to them that I was poor, even stingier than them, so they didn't get the better of me."
"But this matter must be related to Huang Nianyan, otherwise they wouldn't have come looking for us."
And the address was so precise.
Qi Xinxin got angry when she heard this, "That Huang Nianyan is a real viper. Only those blind men think she's good."
Even her older brothers like Huang Nianyan and say she's a good girl.
If her mother hadn't stopped her, her brothers might have married Huang Nianyan.
In the end, Mrs. Qi simply sent her several mentally unstable sons abroad to help out.
This way, I can avoid being harmed by Huang Nianyan.
