Chapter 27: Is there a problem with paying back the money?
[The mission of digging 20 kilograms of oyster meat has been completed, and the reward points are 400. The remaining time is converted into 42 points, and the merit points are 442. ]
"I'm only eight points away from making up for the points I spent before!" Shi Qingqing covered her mouth, tears flowing uncontrollably.
It's exciting! ~
I am also touched!
Sure enough, there is still a task to be done.
The mission is to make a net profit, there is no such thing as any cost.
Instant arrival, instant availability.
"Thank you." Shi Qingqing knew that this thing had no so-called "mind", but she still couldn't help but say it.
Because a lot of time was wasted, I couldn't ride too fast on the way back, and I also had to control the flashlight lighting. When Shi Qingqing got home, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
The lights in the yard were on.
She opened the door and went into the house, and there was an extra reply to the note she had left.
She left a note saying she might come back around 7 or 8 today, and replied that she had moved to a construction site and gave her the address.
The departure time is 6pm.
It seems that Zhao Fengnian came back after going out in the morning, and turned on the lights before leaving.
"That's why I can't be cruel to you even though I know what happened in the dream.
Even if I don’t compare you to other men, you care about me more than my closest relatives who I have lived with since childhood.”
Shi Qingqing simply tidied herself up and went to bed.
But when she woke up the next day, she found an envelope in the drawer.
There are six hundred dollars in it.
This money could only have been put down by Zhao Fengnian.
Remembering that he had just returned from reporting to the construction site, Shi Qingqing pursed her lips.
This is an advance on salary.
Moreover, the only things missing from the house were a straw mat and a thin quilt.
The only personal items missing were a few pairs of underwear, a toothbrush, a toothbrush cup, and some used soap.
I didn’t bring any ready-made food from home, and even the crabs in the pot were untouched.
"Really..." Shi Qingqing learned from Zhao Fengnian that the construction period for a small project could be as long as several years or as short as a few months.
A laborer only earns so much money a month, and the maximum advance he can get is half a month's salary.
They might not even be able to get paid on time for that job.
These six hundred are probably all.
Shi Qingqing felt that the six hundred dollars were hot in her palm.
She kept the money intact.
But she was more cautious and locked it in a box and put it under her clothes at the bottom of the closet.
The weight in the small warehouse was still over ten kilograms, so she simply took out all the items beyond ten kilograms.
Now that she is the only one at home, she has a cover of purchasing goods and doing small business in front of Zhao Fengnian, so there is no need to hide these things.
As for the others... once the door was locked, she didn't need to inform anyone.
Shi Qingqing looked at the third task, this time it was fifty kilograms of oyster meat.
Are you really just having a hard time with oysters?
She looked at the time limit and it was quite long, about a thousand hours.
About forty days.
On average, you can dig two and a half kilograms a day, but you also have to take other factors into consideration, such as unexpected events, such as not getting that much on a beach.
During this period, you should also try to sell as many things as possible that have already been purchased.
She hasn't even accepted this task yet, but she is already terrified that the next task might be 100 kilograms or 200 kilograms.
She didn't plan to go to the beach today. She wanted to give herself two days off to relax her leg, foot and hand muscles.
But this holiday was not for her to rest in bed. She chose to only sell candy. After she sold all the candy, she ate noodles on the road and then found a place that only sold rice.
In two days, all the rice, sugar and wine were gone.
The six hundred dollars of rice was returned.
The wine cost 110 yuan. Because the first bucket was bought at once, people got a discount of 5 yuan. The second bucket of two or three kilograms also required bargaining, so the total price was about 5 yuan cheaper.
Sugar is even worse, it’s almost a freebie at first.
Some people just try one and it’s not easy to tell you not to eat it.
Among three customers who come to try something, generally one will stay and buy more.
The crabs brought back more than a hundred yuan, and after deducting the expenses for hardware, meals, flashlights, waders, etc. in the past two days, there was still about seventy or eighty yuan left.
Shi Qingqing grabbed the money and touched it again and again in her hand.
Then the allocation begins.
This is fifty yuan from Sister Xu. You have to pay it back quickly.
The money from the Zhao family should be returned as soon as possible.
The rest can wait for a month.
As for Sister Xu, everyone knows what she does all day, and she will definitely use her points to buy food, so there is no need to cause misunderstandings.
When it comes to the Zhao family, when they go to return the money, they must return it in person and repeatedly mention how much they borrowed and for how many days.
After making the plan, Shi Qingqing immediately went next door to repay the money.
Sister Xu was confused. "You are short of money, why did you return it to me so quickly? We don't need it urgently, so you can keep it."
Shi Qingqing shook her head: "My husband gave the boss an advance, which is enough for me to live on now. It's better to return it to you. You still have children to raise, and you have many places to spend money."
Seeing that Shi Qingqing really didn't need it, Sister Xu took the money back. "Then your husband will go out to earn money this time. You should be careful on your own. If there is any problem, just let me know. I am a light sleeper."
Shi Qingqing nodded, and told Sister Xu that she had cheap rice of good quality, so it would be more convenient for her to buy from her in the future.
For Sister Xu, it was also 60 cents per pound, but Sister Xu would go back during the summer vacation to carry back rice, sweet potato flour and other things. She didn't like the rice, but she liked the sugar.
I bought it for ten dollars.
She said that some of her relatives had to go back to their hometown first, and she and her children would not go back this year, so she asked someone to bring some food and daily necessities back.
Some people who come out to work, if they are not satisfied with the ticket or don't want to squeeze in with the crowds, they will leave early even at the risk of losing half a month's salary.
The relatives Sister Xu was talking about are in this category. They can ignore the holiday time and go home directly.
Shi Qingqing went to Zhao's house again.
On the way, a man carrying water passed by. He was a familiar face and used to live in the area where Shi Qingqing's mother lived.
He sneered, "Are you here to borrow money again? Your uncle's family is quite rich, so he's lending you money right after you get here."
Shi Qingqing ignored the rascal, knowing full well where the words came from.
At the Zhao family, seeing the uncle, Shi Qingqing solemnly returned the money and said, "I borrowed fifty yuan from you for six and a half days, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble, so I'm paying you back."
When I saw my second sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law, I did the same thing and said the same thing.
The Zhao family held the money and asked her why she paid it back so quickly. Was she not short of money now?
Shi Qingqing sighed. "Fengnian shamelessly asked the boss for an advance on some living expenses, and I bought some rice and flour. We can always get by by living frugally, but we can't keep owing money."
"Sister-in-law, what did you borrow the money for before? I asked my second brother, but he wouldn't tell me." Zhao Meilan stopped Shi Qingqing, looking very curious.
She felt it was strange that he was in a hurry to borrow money a few days ago, as if something big was going to happen.
As a result, after just a few days, he came back calmly to pay back the money.
She felt something was fishy.
The other people who had originally felt relieved after receiving the money also looked over.
Everyone was waiting for Shi Qingqing's answer.
Shi Qingqing sneered in her heart, are they going to surround her if she doesn't give a satisfactory reply?
If you don't pay back the money, you will complain. If you pay back the money, you will still pester me.
