Chapter 282 Professional matters should be done by professionals
Wei immediately stood up, picked up the basket and was about to leave.
"Hey, why did Fourth Sister leave?" A dark and thin woman rushed out of the room and grabbed her. "Fourth Sister knows mother, she is like this."
Old Lady Wei's face darkened, and she wanted to scold her as a dead girl and a money-loser as she did before.
But if he was scolded, even the basket of eggs would be gone, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.
The dark and thin woman was Wei's sister-in-law. She smiled and pushed Wei onto the chair:
"Sit, sit, sit. Ouch, wait, don't sit down yet. Our chair is a little broken, and I'm afraid it will damage Fourth Sister's nice clothes."
Then he pulled Wei up again and changed to a newer chair: "Sit here."
Wei snorted and was pleased by her sister-in-law's action of changing the chair.
After her sister-in-law sat down opposite her, she said, "Fourth sister is getting richer and richer now, but our family is still living a hard life. We are all poor and cannot be as blessed as Fourth sister."
Wei felt proud and liked the feeling of being praised.
Wei took out a tael of silver from her sleeve and said, "I have prepared some. This is to honor my mother."
Mrs. Wei was delighted and quickly snatched the money away. Her tone became better: "What do you want to see me for?"
Wei pursed her lips and told the story of Ye Peng and Jin'er:
"My Peng'er and Jin'er were getting along well, and I was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. I don't know why it turned out like this."
Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes at her:
"This is a good marriage, but the reason it didn't work out is because you have a pig brain."
Wei's face darkened, but he endured it and listened to Old Lady Wei continue:
"This marriage has many advantages, but you can't say anything. You've said all the good things are bad. Why give her a gold hairpin? Isn't that offensive? Professional matters should be handled by professionals!"
When Wei heard this, he realized that this made sense and secretly hated himself for being too impulsive.
......
Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ye Caiping purchased a large number of mooncakes from the snack shops in the town and went to two workshops to distribute the mooncakes early in the morning.
After delivering the goods to the workshops, Ye Caiping went with Ye Lizheng to the gates of the city to deliver the goods.
No matter it was the employees in the workshop or the sales staff in the store, they were all in disbelief when they received the mooncakes. They never thought that they could receive holiday gifts while working!
After distributing the mooncakes, Ye Caiping was about to leave. As she walked out the door, she saw a short, fat, wealthy middle-aged man walking towards her.
He smiled wryly: "Madam Ye, right?"
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "Excuse me, who are you..."
"I'm from Dafu Clothing Store. Can I have a word with you?"
Can. ”
As she spoke, she walked with him into the alley next to her.
The man said, "Madam Ye, I just heard that you sent Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the waiters?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
The man was a little angry: "Madam Ye, this is not the way to be a human being. You have already paid such a high salary, and you still give gifts to the waiters. Aren't you just making their appetites bigger?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows. "I understand. You mean, my higher wages and better benefits have disrupted the market price?"
The man gritted his teeth and said, "It's good that you know. I also hope that Madam Ye will reduce their wages."
Ye Caiping sneered: "This is our store, you can give as much as you want."
"But what you're doing is making my waiter not work hard at all."
"Then you should pay more! If you really don't want to pay, just tell your waiter that you can do it if you want. There are many ways to do it. Obviously you want to have a good reputation as not being a mean boss, but you don't want to pay that money."
The short and fat man's face was twisted with anger.
But he couldn't do anything to Ye Caiping, because he had heard that this lady Ye had been in jail! And he was framed by a county magistrate.
Anyone who can get out of prison safely in this situation is a tough guy and not to be messed with!
The short and fat man snorted coldly and turned away.
Ye Caiping left the alley, and Ye Lizheng stepped forward and said worriedly, "Our wages are indeed a little higher than other companies."
Ye Caiping said, "What's the big deal? If you have money, give more. If you don't have money, give less. You can't ask every shop to be the same!"
“I’m afraid it will affect others…”
Ye Caiping said, "It won't be affected too much. There are too many people looking for work, just like the boss just now. The waiter envied other companies for high wages and didn't work hard. He could just fire the waiter and find another one willing to pay the same wages. There are people everywhere who can't find work, and there are plenty of people willing to do it. He just wants to have a good reputation."
Ye Li was listening and understood instantly.
Think about the poor days our family used to live in.
If you go out to look for a job, and see that the east shop pays one or two wen per month, while the west shop only pays five hundred wen, you will naturally want to choose the east shop.
But since the east family doesn’t want anyone, I can only go to the west family.
Because there are more people than jobs.
Naturally everyone wants to do a high-paying job, but not everyone has the opportunity.
So the impact is that it has no impact at all.
Ye Caiping added: "Besides, it's an impact. It's too difficult for ordinary farmers to make money. If those merchants are influenced by me, it would be a good thing to increase their wages."
......
When Ye Caiping returned home, it was already noon.
After lunch, the family busied themselves hanging lanterns.
Ye Caiping was standing at the door and received a small fish, a box of moon cakes and an exquisite gift box handed to her by Duanwu.
Ye Caiping opened it and saw neatly arranged bird's nests in the box.
Ye Caiping was surprised: "So many bird's nests."
Duanwu waved his hand casually: "Master said, this is nothing, goodbye, Madam Ye."
After saying that, he left.
Ye Caiping came in happily holding the box, mooncakes and fish basket.
Old Mrs. Ye was picking vegetables in the corridor. She saw the fish basket and asked happily, "Are we having mixed fish today?"
Ye Caiping smiled awkwardly: "Well..."
I had too many things in my hands and forgot to put the fish in the space. What a mistake.
Old Mrs. Ye had just finished picking the vegetables and stood up: "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival...Your elder brother and second brother won't be invited yet. It won't be too late to eat together after the New Year."
"good."
We had originally planned to celebrate the holiday together, but after what happened between Ye Peng and Jin'er, it became a bit awkward to celebrate together.
It’s better to avoid it for a while.
I hope Ye Peng can figure it out and Wei can be more honest.
Ye Caiping put the mooncakes and bird's nests back into the room.
At this time, Xiaoyan came in holding a set of folded clothes: "The new clothes for Mid-Autumn Festival are ready, this is for auntie."
"Jin'er and the others are also well, right?"
"It has been sent."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Caiping spread out the clothes. "Your craftsmanship is getting better and better. Look at the flowers you embroider... They are so beautiful."
Xiaoyan lowered her head and smiled, "Jinhua came to help me when she was free. She said she wanted to practice! I have learned all the embroidery and tailoring she learned at the Shen family."
Seeing Xiaoyan's progress, Ye Caiping was very pleased: "By the way... tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to go home and spend it with your elder sister?"
Ye Caiping suddenly thought of Ye Hufen.
