Chapter 60
This is exactly what Ye Fuyue wants.
She now has a clear idea that what she wants more than a stable job with a predictable salary is money.
By providing furniture drawings to the furniture factory, she doesn't need to get up early every day to go to work on time, and she can also get a good salary. It's simply perfect.
Director Li returned to the office much later than Ye Fuyue expected.
As soon as Director Li came in, he said with a cheerful face, "Our factory director has agreed, and we can sign the contract with you today. However, for now, we only want the design drawings of the furniture you want to order."
The furniture factory director initially disagreed with Ye Fuyue's proposal. After all, there had never been such a precedent before. People always subconsciously deny and reject the unknown.
Director Li spent a lot of time convincing the factory director. After thinking it through, the factory director realized that if they only wanted the design drawings of that particular piece of furniture, according to Ye Fuyue's commission calculation, their furniture factory would make a profit, so the factory director agreed.
Ye Fuyue was not surprised by Director Li's request. She agreed with a smile, "Okay. My commission will be settled monthly. I hope to get some tickets in addition to the money."
"I can give you the tickets, but I can't give you a lot. Is that okay with you?" Director Li said.
"No problem."
So, Ye Fuyue signed the contract with Director Li. The contract was made in duplicate, one copy was kept by the furniture factory, and the other copy was kept by Ye Fuyue.
During lunch, Ye Fuyue shared the news with Shen Yao and others at the table.
Chen Guifeng asked curiously, "How much money do you make every month?"
"It won't be much at the beginning, maybe just a few or a dozen yuan, but if I provide more furniture design drawings to the furniture factory, I will definitely get more money."
"It doesn't matter how much you take, as long as you are happy doing it. I will support you anyway." Shen Yao said.
He even thought it was a good thing for Ye Fuyue to have this part-time job, so that Ye Fuyue would not have to hang around the streets all day, thinking about how to catch criminals for rewards. It would be safer to design furniture for a furniture factory.
Chen Guifeng didn't know that Chen Yao had so many little thoughts, so she just said, "It's good. It's all money no matter how much you make."
It's so hard to get a job in a factory these days, so it's good to have this source of income.
This is because her daughter-in-law is smart and has many skills. If it were another family's daughter-in-law, she wouldn't even be able to get this part-time job.
Ye Fuyue suddenly heard a commotion coming from the courtyard.
"What's going on outside? Is there something wrong?" she asked.
Chen Guifeng remembered and said, "Yao Yi is dating someone, and today her boyfriend is coming to propose marriage."
In the slum.
Many people were indeed watching the fun because of the appearance of Lei Xiao, Lei's mother and the matchmaker.
Lei Xiao was pushing a newly assembled bicycle with a newly assembled radio hanging on the handlebar.
Aunt Xie and Yao Yi were waiting for them at the door. When they saw the bicycle and radio pushed by Lei Xiao, Aunt Xie smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close, while Yao Yi looked very satisfied and proud.
She knew that when Shen Yao went to Ye Fuyue's house to propose marriage, he also pushed a bicycle and a radio. When it was her turn to get married, how could her betrothal gift be less than what Shen Yao gave.
Therefore, she told Lei Xiao in advance that she didn't need the sewing machine, but she must have a bicycle and a radio, and the betrothal money could not be less than one hundred yuan.
At the time, Lei Xiao was a little dissatisfied, thinking that she was asking for too much betrothal gift. Although Yao Yi was usually quite obedient in front of Lei Xiao, she refused to give in when it came to the betrothal gift.
She was a little nervous before. Lei Xiao has always been stubborn and self-willed. She was also afraid that Lei Xiao could not give her the betrothal gift she wanted.
Now that she saw that Lei Xiao was doing exactly what she asked, how could Yao Yi not be satisfied or happy?
Aunt Xie glanced at the neighbors who were watching, making sure that everyone had seen the bicycle and radio that Lei Xiao had brought, and then she invited the three people from the Lei family into the house.
"Yiyi, quickly pour a glass of brown sugar water for your future mother-in-law and her family." Aunt Xie said.
"Okay." Yao Yi smiled sweetly and went to pour the brown sugar water.
"In-laws, please take a seat." Aunt Xie warmly invited Lei's mother and others to take a seat.
Lei's mother smiled and took out the 100 yuan betrothal gift: "In addition to the bicycle and the radio, there is also this 100 yuan, which is all the betrothal gift from our Lei family."
When Yao Yi heard in the kitchen that there was still a hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Immediately, she was a little dissatisfied again. If only it was a little more, even if it was only ten or twenty yuan more, it would still be more than the one hundred yuan betrothal gift that Shen Yao gave to Ye Fuyue's family.
However, one hundred yuan is fine. At least it is the same as the betrothal money Shen Yao gave out, not less.
Aunt Xie accepted the 100 yuan betrothal money with a happy face.
Yao Yi came out with three bowls of brown sugar water and placed them in front of Lei's mother, the matchmaker, and Lei Xiao. Her gentle posture and smiling eyes made Lei's mother look slightly satisfied.
When putting the brown sugar water in front of Lei Xiao, Yao Yi deliberately acted shy and secretly gave Lei Xiao a coquettish glance.
Lei Xiao didn't have any particularly big reaction. Instead, he felt that Yao Yi didn't have the reserve and composure of a girl at all.
Lei Mu accidentally saw this and secretly shook her head in dissatisfaction.
Lei's mother said to Aunt Xie, "I brought a familiar matchmaker to our house today just to have her be a witness. The two children are in love freely, but we are here to discuss marriage, so it would be better to have a witness."
"Yes, yes, you are right. You are the one who has considered everything." Aunt Xie was in a very good mood. She agreed unconditionally with everything Lei's mother said.
"Are our in-laws satisfied with the betrothal gifts we brought?" Lei's mother asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, very satisfied. I can see that you value our Yiyi very much."
Lei's mother nodded and changed the subject: "I wonder what kind of dowry my in-laws have prepared for my daughter."
Aunt Xie had already thought about what dowry she was going to prepare for Yao Yi. She said confidently, "Quilts and quilt covers are of course not to be mentioned. We also plan to make a new dressing table and wardrobe for Yi Yi."
Lei's mother smiled and nodded, but what she said was: "Aren't we going to let our daughter take some of the dowry we brought back to her new home?"
Aunt Xie was stunned and didn't understand what Lei's mother meant.
Nowadays, when a family marries off their daughter, they will take all the dowry given by the man back to the man! Wouldn't that mean the woman's family will not get any benefits at all and will be taken advantage of by the man?
Mother Lei looked at Aunt Xie with a smile as bright as water.
She had long known that many families nowadays wouldn't let their daughters take the dowry given by the groom, but kept it for themselves. Lei's mother despised this behavior. She herself had a daughter, and in her opinion, boys and girls were the same. On her daughter's wedding day, she didn't keep any of the betrothal gifts from the groom, but let her take it all to the groom's house, giving her enough face and confidence.
